The Number of the Feast
When environmentalists are debating what percents of someone’s income must be spent on food to avoid food wastage, while alleviating global poverty—they argue that food is too cheap to provide sufficient income for small farmers, who are the world’s poorest or hungriest people.
The Pinocchio-in-Chief wanted to boast about his skin-deep knowledge about the number of the beast to his MAGA evangelical donors, but they ended up talking about the number of the feast instead.

Goblin Math
A term that gained currency during the pandemic, especially after repeated lockdowns and potential mental breakdowns, to describe the type of negative, irrational, selfish, or self-defeating behavior that plagued many math educators worldwide, because they were tired of conforming to the social or unreasonable expectations of the authorities, or had little respect for vampires or hypocrites with a say in their pay.

Faith Is a Feeling.
Not the faith described in the Bible, which doesn’t depend on the storms and successes of life, but rather is based on the unshakable (certain, secure, and sure) promises found in the Word of God—faith is the substance (or assurance) of things hoped for, the evidence (or conviction) of things not seen, as revealed in Hebrews 11:1.
If “faith is a feeling.”—which is dictated by emotions resulting from the ebb and flow of life—it’s no surprise that this kind of fleeting or worldly faith doesn’t resonate with those who demand proof before belief.
