When people began to see advertisements about the application of a Christian prayer that includes the “Voice” of the judge and the bob icon Join Stephanie, the initial reaction was moderate. “This year, I am excited to participate in a partnership with this amazing application of meditation, meditation and music named Hallow,” announced in the Christmas Declaration, and asked the viewers “to join me and millions of other Christians around the world.”
“Watching your heroes are very disappointed,” One of Reddor said, in a typical response. “I never thought I was seeing GWEN Stefani’s wife, but here I think.”
The annoyance turned into anger after a few months when Stephanie issued another advertisement for Hal, this time for the judiciary, During the posting of the Tucker Carlson video.
“It is Mag. Sorry to destroy your childhood!” An angry one spreading Reddor. “[T]He washed Celeb, which turned into the Republican pipeline is still almost unnoticed. ” Another cracking.
What I discovered is that although religion may not be opium for the masses, as Karl Marx wrote, this application is a calming of the Maga conscience.
In the advertisement, the Hallow app looks nice enough. The founder, a rich administrative advisor called Alex Jones, He claims that the goal is to “share beauty and peaceAnd the strength of the spirit of the church with the world, “all for $ 70 a year. But the Maga whiff is not difficult to discover, for a person who knows what to inhale for. Early financing. It came to a large extent of Donald Trump Fanboys Peter Thiel and JD VanceThe latter is now working as Trump’s vice president. Celebrity and cooperation approvals Includes Trump Mark’s colleague and LabragThe anti -abortion actor Jonathan Rumi and Chris Pratt, Those who are doing his efforts to hide Maga always. The application also British comedian Russell Brand was recruited, But they put this support deal on a temporary stop now He was charged with rape in his country.
I am an atheist who did not respond with a lot of religion at all, so I never noticed the big fasting. But after seeing all this Hullabaloo, I thought I would take the first rift in the season of self-suffering-in the name of the press, not Jesus. So I downloaded the Hallow application, after saying it is not fruitful Hope prayer does not steal all of my own data. Like most large fasting monitors, the commitment stumbles with the right to listen to this app at times. However, I learned through several days of lessons on how to be a divine woman and Trikley prayer read by Chris Pratt. What I discovered is that although religion may not be opium for the masses, as Karl Marx wrote, this application is a calming of the Maga conscience.
Initially, Halo was not very bad, although I was touching when she immediately touched the spiritual experience by congratulating me on keeping my “plan” of daily use. (I have the best of three days “prayer” in a row, which is no less than the series of exercise on fitness in apples. However! Very good for the lack of believers!) Many verses of prayer and the Bible and Jesus speak, which is great for me, but it means many for many good liberal Christians who I know, so I do not prevent them. Mostly, it was very boring, an opinion shared by Mark and Larg, who seemed to be reading from the phone book during his prayers. Even joking with Chris Prat for his “fasting on Friday” contributions fell.

Was Catholics very quickly on Friday during the big fast, I had to wonder. My mysterious memories that originated in a large Catholic part of the country include people who eat a lot of fish at dinner. Pratt and Wallag did not wipe this for me, but they made him more confused. They suggested one of the ways to “fasting” is not to look at your phone for 10 minutes before bed, which appears to be the level of sacrifice that would focus the mind and spirit on the suffering of Jesus on the cross. It was also difficult to know how to do this while using “Better Sleep” programs like that entitled “Don’t worry”, which Jonathan Rumi read.
I am confused about this issue. I realized that this was a systematic contradiction throughout Hallow, which became more worse than I listened. On the one hand, there was a lot of self -congratulation, especially that Pratt offers, on how Christians welcomed “difficult times” and that faith is not related to “how to escape suffering, but how to bear it.” However, what the application provided is fleeing materials based on turning off thinking, rather than encouraging it.
Prayers and programs mostly focused on empty and empty assurances about presence, tension, and better sleep. The user’s imaginative problem scientist was a comic: a quarrel with a workshop, or a dispute with a husband or child. It seemed very ridiculous to worry about our current political situation, as the fascist captured the government, raised the economy, and the economy is kidnapped – and most of them are kidnapped by Christians! These things seemed more urgent to bring them to Jesus from the exacerbation that your wife will not fill the dishwasher correctly.
Hallow provides space to bring fears such as Li: “AI” feature called Magisterium Ai, which offers, “Ask me questions about faith and teaching church!” Hey, if you pay for a prayer application, then why do you not play with pretending that the reckless computer is your channel for the mind of God?
“What does Jesus say about sending migrants to foreign torture prisons without due legal procedures?” I asked the translator of Jesus without a soul in my phone. The initial response appears to be promising, “The treatment of immigrants with respect, or the denial of their basic rights is a serious crime.” Artificial intelligence added, “Catholic education will strongly send immigrants to foreign torture prisons without legal procedures.” Better than listening to Chris Pratt, explain how a 10 -minute phone will release demons. So I kept it, he asked, “How can JD Vance say it is a good Catholic, when he defends people who are imprisoned without due legal procedures?”
At this stage, the hero of Amnesty International launched Jesus, saying: “The comprehensive person’s commitment to Catholic values should be considered, rather than focusing only on one issue.”
Certainly, I bet that Vans eat fish on Friday, but in general, he feels that lying to people to justify their torture in ways that are not different from what the Romans did to Jesus for more. But I am just a humble atheist who argues with an artificial “intelligence”, so what do I know? Regardless of jokes, I crystallized why I felt very distress, listening to the prayers and programs that reduced the “experiences” of Christian life to quarrel with neighbors and inconvenience at work. The assumed concern world in the listener was not different from the usual sea of wrecking “self -help” provided by “Well Coated”, “spirituality” and “lifestyle” on the Internet. Although Halo presented a demonic possession as a real and continuous source of concern, it is at least more enjoyable than the shape that is missing raw milk from magic thinking in the most knowledgeable Maga spaces.
Most of these materials do not seem political, but they encourage a form of small narcissism, with an unavoidable focus on the self. Jesus does not care about the Hallow application about social justice or the care of the persecuted, but that you are your good friend who hits your hair after a bad day at work. The “demonic” forces that calls for the believer to resist are not serious evils like human rights violations. Satan seems to be more interested in frustrating your traffic more than the installation of a fascist leader in the White House to destroy democracy. This does not seem political, but the project to threaten users not pay attention to anything outside their direct self -interest is suitable for Maga. It may be more convincing to ordinary people than public right -wing propaganda. This is not Christianity for liberal Christians who I know, who volunteer, donate money, and take a lot by choosing better leaders. This is “don’t worry your head on all these things” a kind of Christianity.
Not that there was no political propaganda on cardamom. As a feminist, I could only listen to a series of 9 parts called “a female genius” by a woman named Lisa Cotter. My hopes are in the achievements of Emily Dickenson and Mary Curie – Hell, and even Join Stephanie! Smoke quickly. Instead, Tobakit about how I should stop trying to “act as a man”, and that “gifts” for women and “genius” are the surprise! – About the ability to “live generously to others”. Unlike men, women enjoy the “unique” ability to “see people as people”, not things, and therefore the role of women is to ensure that everyone takes care of, while men do all this higher and less careful work. It is not that women do not get anything in return! In the lesson titled “Receive”, we were told, “In the act of sex, he gives a husband to himself to his wife, who receives his gift.” Say what you want, but I didn’t expect the Jesus’ application to tell me that I am a genius because I know how to get F -Ked.
This places Hallow in the largest universe of the Vance and Thiel project to pay their gender policy to the Americans through every means You can find, from applications that encourage contraceptives to Single women described as “miserable women” at every turn. Maga supports repeatedly shows that they see sex as the most fruitful sites of people’s extremism to their cause, and the Hallow application reveals a reason. A lot of how people try between sexes are not “politically”, but the character: dating, marriage, sex, and how you live outside your identity. This creates these “self -assistance” angles that you claim only to provide guidance about daily life, but instead escapes from very politicized ideas about the hierarchical sequence, power and freedom. The Kotter prayer is offered to “remove any obstacles in our hearts that you may want to put men and women in competition”, and direct them to “stop trying to be your savior” as a personal advice for women. In fact, they are deep political statements about how the half of the human race should live to submit to the other half.
I left Halo the day I was told is sacred on Thursday – I learned a lot about the number of existing holy days! – My country “Glory be to God” sang in response. (I am on a hook for $ 70, although I thought I was registering only for a few weeks. Vans steal my cat food directly from my apple wallet!) Unfortunately, I did not find any contributions to the application by Stephanie itself, which is very bad. I want to rewrite “just a girl”, but about this literal definition of the feminine acceptance. But as it was stupid, I find myself unstable. Hallow is a right -wing advertisement, but not on the way you get from Breitbart or Fox News. Instead, it is a warm bath to authorize the horrors launched by the administration by the administration that is reinforced by the people who funded this application, and they are all provided in the name of Jesus, Amen.
