This is big. We're about to start our most important read-along so far: Augustine's City of God. This is a foundational work of Western Civilization. Maybe THE greatest work of Christian thought. If you've been on the fence about joining, now's the time. Instead of breaking down all 22 books, we will make this an "intro to the City of God." The live discussions will thus focus on the heart of the work: Discussion 1 (September 15): • Book 11 – creation, the angelic fall, and the origin of the two cities • Book 12 – evil as privation, and how a good creature can turn away from God • Book 14 – the two loves that found and distinguish the two cities Discussion 2 (September 29): • Book 19 – peace, justice, and the proper ends of human community • Book 22 – resurrection, the beatific end, and the eternal rest of the City of God Along the way, we'll send out weekly reading guides for the books in question. If you want to join our "inner circle" and participate in the discussions directly, we're running a discount for 24 hours... 25% off full membership!! You'll get: Live book club discussions (biweekly) Access to our incredible community chat Essays to guide you through the Great Books All past recordings, essays, and podcasts Ability to vote on what we read next athenaeumbooks.com/september Of course, you may also read along for free and tune into the live broadcasts. Let's make this our biggest read-along yet! See you inside.

Can anyone explain this female phenomenon?

Logical fallacy after logical fallacy. Fallacy of relative privation. Red herring. Appeal to (alleged) hypocrisy. Straw-man. No wonder she is a Lindsay Clancy kinslayer apologist, she struggles with logic.

Lindsay Clancy apologists are scum and evil.

Lindsay Clancy supporters are so low IQ and evil they should lose their right to vote.

Lindsay Clancy supporters are evil scum. Bring back witch trials.
