@Anastasija Kladnov Yup. Now that I'm a minister, I've got a bit more things to do than in my old position, so I don't go on here as much as I used to. In addition, seeing as the site's currently in the middle of a huge flame war, which I want no part of, I'm probably gonna give it a break for a few weeks (after all, Christmas and the New Year are right around the corner), and hopefully everything will be back to normal when I return.

Any particular things you've got planned in the NVI, or just relaxing? Either way, enjoy your vacation! :)

@Guided Missile Maiden You want me to copy something I just wrote, just for you, despite it being right there and visible for everyone? Well then, of all the things you learned from your Marxist college education, apparently "reading" was not one of them. But here you go anyway.

There is nothing wrong with me. Only those who are high on drugs, or brainwashed by Marxist college professors to hate God and love Satan, would think there is anything wrong with being a faithful Christian, who is proud of his country and traditions.

@Marco Cärrino You think I am the one who is being obtuse here? Of course I do not expect your father to do it himself, just as I do not expect Salazar. But someone in the government has to take responsibility for those orphans, because the market will just leave them to die.

Why have a parliament at all? All politicians do, is sell out the country to the foreign banks and Marxists—ergo, they worship Satan. Here in the Holy Catholic State, the Church makes all the laws, based on the divine laws of God and traditional Christian morality.

In addition, it is not enough to be decent and moral—one must also be holy in order to gain admission into the Kingdom of Heaven. Deny the true faith all you want, but come Judgment Day, you will all be trembling before the Lord, and by then it will be too late. Repent and accept Jesus now, for it is the only way you will receive His grace and salvation.

@Anastasija Kladnov: All of the rooms are unavailable, though; they’re being dedicated to coordinating relief efforts for the places in the Confederation hardest hit by super typhoon Rai. Last time we had a super typhoon that bad was 2013, Haiyan. Last tally from news outlets has the death toll at 133 across the Confederation. Expect delays in arrival; relief flights from AFB Mactan have priority.

Yes, super typhoon Rai is a thing in-universe. Fortunately, the effects in-universe were never as profound as they are IRL.

@Francisco Escudeiro: Aw, and here I was, trying to apply a lesson of my evil marxist college professors (something called "politeness", it's not written in the Bible, so I doubt you heard of it) and save us both a bit of time, for I had already read it and thought it was applicable enough and so that I could tick a box and copy-paste a pre-written reply... and then you snap at me. I would be sad, if you were a person I actually cared for, but oh well.
Ah, to hell with it, here we go: I do not think, that anything is wrong with being a faithful follower of [insert applicable religion here]. What I think is wrong is using that as an excuse to subjugate and oppress people or to demean people, who believe in something else or have different views from you. And yes, I think, that there is enough wrong with you and your nation, Franny.

Finally, time for winter break from university. Doing a master's degree is hard work. As for the holidays, we don't have Christmas in any official capacity (and most of our Christian population are Orthodox and celebrate next month), but we have the winter solstice festival of Yalda and New Year's. Since I came back in the middle of people screaming about religion, I'm not sure how much I want to explain that Yalda has its roots in pre-Islamic Zoroastrian tradition but our resident Catholic extremists hate my country for being Muslim as it is.

Anyway, I'm glad to have a few weeks of not having to worry anything important. But having to spend time with family who keep asking if I have a boyfriend and when I'm going to get married makes it less fun than it could be.

@Guided Missile Maiden Believe it or not, I actually am capable of having nice pleasant conversations—just not with unrepentant heretics, sinners or Marxists. In fact, it is because I care about people's souls and want to make sure they are saved, that I even bother to share my time and advice with them. To put this in a non-religious way: would you simply let your friends get high on drugs all day? No, you would talk some sense into them. And that is what I am trying to do. But if your idea of politeness is turning a blind eye, then I am afraid that I cannot help you.

The Holy Catholic State is a Christian country, built on Christian morals and Christian traditions. If other religions can have their own holy land, it is only fair that we do, too. Yet you did not say anything about Muslim fundamentalists like @Mirza Zahir ud Din or militant atheists. Is that because all your Marxist politicians are under their thumbs, and are too afraid of losing their votes? But not in Portugal, thank the Lord—we have no political parties or elections here, only Salazar and the Church.

@Jalnatzic the Greatest: Yeah, sounds about right... anyway, what I was talking about with that dude or dudette was, that I can not confirm any of the claims he makes about his person - you see, I called the users of your shared account a bunch of lonely teenagers with delusions of grandeur (for short) and called into question, that it is indeed a group of people posting on that account. He replied with him being married and having children, a claim I can not confirm (especially with a shared account).

@Francisco Escudeiro: The problem with this analogy is, that if from your point of view, following the "wrong" religious belief (or rather a religious belief you do not like, likewise political belief) is comparable to being on drugs, one can easily turn that around. And then you are the guy on drugs. And what I am trying to do is to talk some sense into you, Franny, despite you not being my friend (sorry to shatter any illusion you might have had), so that you keep your drugs for yourself, because not many people like taking your particular brand of them. We can talk about withdrawal later.
First of all, to my understanding, Mecca is already in a Muslim-majority nation, unlike Jerusalem (though that depends on where in the multiverse you ask). Second, there are, to my knowledge, so many muslims in the Free Lands, that they were filed under "Other religious groups" in the last census (2018), together with Christians and the Selkie-Jews - all of them together, and a few other groups, making up 2.8 percent of the population. Hardly a major crowd to please, don't you think? Third, our major politicians are not Marxists, as our government is formed by experts in their respective fields and the old sods sitting in a circle that is the Council of Elders (while they are elected, they give the general direction of politics in a consensual manner). I doubt, though, that you are talking about the minor politicians, like the mayors or city councillors. Fourth, Marxism had always a very small standing in the Free Lands to begin with, as we don't follow the standard international categorization of left-right, but have our own movements (the closest to a left-leaning school of thought would be the Fortham School of Thought, but there is much debate over whether or not they actually are left, but I doubt, that the finer points would interest you). Fifth, the Free Lands are Selkie-Land (and Spiorad-Land, can't forget those guys). We follow our traditions, our morals and our religions (yes, the Spiorad have their own faith, no, no one cares or wants to convert them to anything, not to mention the Selkie-Jews, but that is self-evident, that they have their own religion). If you can't live with that, I am sure, that your browser has a way to be closed.

Epo. Gus McFarland Barnumberg, Cavirfi

Here's my sermon from yesterday's worship:

There are days when things don't go right for you, and that is normal. What isn't normal is when EVERY single day of your life seems wrong for you, when you are always lacking any form of contentment in your life. Which you are not wrong for feeling like this, and whether or not it's because you are depressed or just bored with your life. The first step to start finding satisfaction is to know that what you are experiencing is not normal in the first place.

That's easier said than done though, how do you know what you feel is not normal. Well look around you, is there something in life, SOMETHING that makes you happy? When you are around others are you stressed or satisfied with their presence? Do you have someone in your life where you have a highly connected relationship with whether that relationship is platonic or not? If your answer to all of these questions is no. Then your life is not normal.

The second step to finding satisfaction is to be able to see the bad things in what you are experiencing, most of the time when people don't feel any happiness or joy from their experiences is because they believe that the things they are experiencing are good and they're just not taking the initiative to feel the highest degree of contentment that comes out of those things. If you are in that phase right now, I just want to say; the things you are experiencing are not good, they were never good, if it's so difficult for you to feel anything positive from what your taking part in, then stop participating in those experiences. See those actions and experiences for what they are; a total wreck for your mental, physical, and spiritual health. The Gods were able to help the Orbiter question his reality, if they can do that to the Orbiter, a significantly powerful being, then they can help you question your own reality too, the only thing you have to do is to accept that your reality is not a reality you deserve.

The third step to finding satisfaction is to help others question their realities too, if you see a person who you know that they know that what they are feeling is not particularly right, if they are still in that phase where they think the negative experiences are just caused by their lack of initiative to feel the positive in it, then help them realize that there is NOTHING positive in those negative experiences and that trying to find the non-existent positives in the totally negative is only harming them more than it helps them. So that when they finally come to the answer, they'll come up with the right one that fits them to help them find the actually positive things in life rather than wasting time and energy finding positive aspects in negative things.

Now, you may ask yourself "why does nobody do this?". It's because they KNOW how to do it, they are just AFRAID of what will happen to them if they do. They are afraid of realizing that they could either be the harmer or the harmed. Which that realization whether you or being wronged or you are doing wrong is a realization that anyone can validly fear, but this should not stop you from being able to actually question your reality and learn from your mistakes or from the mistakes of others, because it's only from learning from your mistakes or the mistakes of others that we improve our lives and strive for a better future.

To muster courage, you must be willing to recognize that in the grand scheme of things, all violations of the ethical code of life will be forgiven, and can only be forgiven IF you realize that your ethical wrongdoings ARE ethical wrongdoings and take what's needed to stop violating those trusts. This does not mean that you should perfectly abide by the ethical code of life that the Gods have granted you, but it does mean that you should do everything in your power to improve your life in the context of obeying these standards. That my friends, is my advice to finding satisfaction and contentment in your life.

I know that my message isn't the best, I've only been part of the clergy of this school for 2 months, I still need time to learn the right words and learn how to give the best advice. But, as of now, this is the hardest I've tried at giving a good message.

Nigel Dominguez Dauis, BH

@Guided Missile Maiden: I do not know if your tearing into the Portuguese sede would be something he would take to heart. Considering the the church he is part of went full sedevacantist over the reforms of Vatican II, it would not surprise me if the more fanatical folks there are convinced that whatever degeneracy they see is part and parcel of a modern, open world.
This is concerning on so many levels: for one, it paints an image of that nation’s leadership that is egregiously unsettling (no offense to the other Portuguese here). The image is one where leadership is so outright reactionary that it will not abide any form of social change—to its ultimate expense, at that. In fact, were the winds of change not so prevalent today, we could see Salazar’s Portugal adopting a system not too different from Tsarist Russia.

On an unrelated note: Dauis is a mess. Cleanup can be complicated owing to all the debris left in Rai’s wake. So far, however, the town isn’t seeing a spike in violent crime and other post-calamity risks. Wish I could say the same for the rest of Bohol, though; PA Garcia of the Town of Carlos P. Garcia is spearheading relief efforts in the northeastern part of the province.

As for Portugal... I doubt, that the a good amount of the Portuguese shares Franny's views on the inside. The government, and its agents like Franny, are the problem, who shape our image of the country and its leadership - as zealots at best, as hypocritical politicians drunk on power at worst.
They might try to freeze the country in a state, which they perceive as ideal (whether or not it is is another question), but they fail to see, that all the evils they try to keep out will be replaced by another evil: Stagnation. And stagnation means death.
