Enjoyed reading this. Time’s so fluid sometimes; I don’t imagine Jesus checking his phone to see what time it is and how many followers he has - but there’s some value in our technology. Except when my phone doesn’t work.
I noticed that you capitalized Eternal No and Eternal Yes. It made me think of Nietzsche’s eternal yes; funny to pair this most famous atheist with Christ. Did you have Nietzsche in mind when you wrote this?
No! I haven't read much primary material of Nietzsche and wasn't aware of that, but I must have mentally scraped it off of someone who scraped it off of him, and I can't remember where I first heard it. But that's funny and interesting.

Nietzsche and Talal Asad were the two main thinkers we read in my “Introduction to the Study of Religion “ class st U of C. 😂
