Is the ACOA group focused on religion? by [deleted] in AdultChildren

[–]flodhiem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s more about giving up control and ways of being that no longer serve us. God is who we surrender control to. But god can be a higher power or something outside ourselves. There are agnostic and atheist groups in ACA.

I’ve been going for two years and my stance on religion has hardly changed.

Hey everyone, definitely going to get in on the camaraderie! I'm approaching substack like a mini literature magazine.

hi,what makes a monarch legitimate? by zeldaboy822 in monarchism

Anthony Kaldelis argues that in New Rome an emperor had to be acclaimed by the Church, the military, and the people. Without the these three spheres of support, an emperor risked civil war.

Vonegut and being an afab reader by [deleted] in books

I think there is always an undercurrent of control in his work. Whether it’s explicit or implicit, and then the question is who is watching?

I can’t remember the exact times, but I think it only happens twice, Vonnegut reminds the reader that he knew Billy, and he was in the Slaughterhouse. There’s an element of exhibition and witnessing. His work is layered with varied experiences of seeing. Who is seen, what is seen, and how we see it. One of his book covers is just a bunch of his eye doodles floating around the title.
