Salvation sans Jesus

When someone confesses that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior and that God raised Him from the dead is the first step to avoid spending their afterlife on earth in hell—whose sins are forgiven through the cleansing blood of Jesus on the cross.

It’s politically incorrect to lovingly share the “Good News” to nonbelievers that there’s no other way to heaven except through Jesus—the ”Salvation sans Jesus” message that religious leaders from other faiths find insensitive or offensive, but nevertheless true, if they unbiasedly study the Bible.

Mortal Mask

A mask brushed with toxic chemicals on the inside that is offered to unsuspected or innocent strangers, who would lose consciousness once they wear it at the request of their evil donors, who would then rob their victims.

At secluded traffic junctions, it’s not uncommon for criminals in police uniforms to stop a car whose driver and fellow passenger are both unmasked, who would be handed a pair of mortal masks to wear before they’re allowed to drive off.

Trum-pi-st

Someone who preaches that pi is a rational number, or a ratio of two integers, although mathematicians had proved moons ago that it is irrational—for example, evangelicals or QAnonists profess that π = 3; blue-collar workers proclaim that π = 22/7; and morally bankrupt Republican lawmakers protest that π = 314/100 or 3.14.

Trum-pi-sts hold on to their position faithfully, steadfastly, or politically regardless of the evidence or despite the facts.

Meta

Facebook’s new corporate name with a blue infinity logo that appears to be a cosmetic attempt to divert attention away from negative stories plaguing the now-toxic brand, which has put “profits over people and safety”—the parent company that also owns Instagram and WhatsApp wants to go beyond social media into areas like virtual reality (VR).

Meta is to Facebook what Alphabet is to Google.

Trumpist

One who has a prejudice against any businessman-turned-politician and will shoot down any politically incorrect things he says.

A lot of people just can't stand filthy rich trumpists, and their discrimination against these "political opportunists" often blinds them from seeing the painful hard truths.

Pitoid

Short for “Pi Factoid.” Tidbits or juicy bits about the number π that seldom make it to the side pages of math textbooks.

Some examples of pitoids are:
a) In a mathematical beauty contest, the number π would be the Miss Universe among the constants.
b) Aliens are more likely to communicate to earthlings in terms of e, i, and π rather than 0 and 1.
c) No number in popular culture is more famous than π.
