Right on. He famously said 'Augustinus totus nostrem est' (or something like that) -- that is, "Augustine is completely on our side in these debates." I referred to him as the 'great summarizer' but the phrase I was looking for was 'the great consolidator' -- some historical theologian called him that. Maybe Richard Muller. Not sure.

That was directed more at Breedlove than at you, my brotha. Maybe I shouldn't have done the quote-tweet thing: sorry about that.
I don't like it when anyone tries to pull Jesus into their cause as a mascot. There's something plastic (artificial) about it. Jesus is sui generis, not to be compared with anything. Bitcoin is a wonderful gift and can be celebrated and promulgated on its own (Natural Law-type) merits without playing 'the Jesus card.' Not that Breedlove is doing any of this intentionally, it's just a 'Jesus is my homeboy' kind of take that I generally recoil from. I'm not sure I can put it clearly in words, it's...I dont' know...kitschy. It's like hanging a Thomas Kinkade when you could hang a Rembrandt. It's like going to the Smithsonian and spending all your time in the trinket-ridden gift shop. I don't know how else to explain it. Am I making any sense?

Maintain a healthy 'diet' --
```
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.

...as I see it there are two somewhat possible explanations:

2. fake recording? based on reference material stolen/hijacked from wife's google photos account? (seems not likely)

Only "security hole" we have is that my wife switched back to stock Android after she couldn't text with her mommy-groups (which require RCS, which doesn't work with GrapheneOS). Back when it sounds like this was recorded, her photos were syncing with Google Photos (now they sync with self-hosted Immich only). We're not a 'social media' family -- no videos or photos on FB or Instacrap or whatever. I'm completely flummoxed.

It sounds like a "butt-dial," one of our sons is trying to untangle the phone cord, and we can hear our youngest (as a baby) crying a bit.
