Young children are meek (and weak), and fit the Bible verse (imo). Heavily pregnant mothers aren't thought of as "potentially dangerous", but I believe they fit the Bible verse well. For a fit man of military age, maybe Peterson's point makes sense. I'm not sure about other people, though.
And don't worry about being acerbic; I hadn't noticed, probably because it's similar to how I often write. ("Sharp and forthright" according to my dictionary).
That's weird. I was just reading the synopsis of Shawshank Redemption (Castle Rock '94) because of the name Timothy Fanshaw emphasized at the end of the Ripley series on Netflix. Interesting connections...
Wonderful news!! Thank God for His protection and grace. While we continue to pray for the good people dealing with devastating loss, in PP, western NC, coastal Florida, Georgia, SC, TN and elsewhere - here and across the world - we're thankful for every life spared, every home left standing in good shape. God placed a hedge of protection around Mr Woods' home that it be left intact through this hellish inferno. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your grace during this tragedy. 🙏✝️
So glad to hear that his home survived. Mel Gibson lost everything in his mansion. Totally burned to the ground. He had all of his most prized possessions in that home like his Oscars. Lost all of his vehicles also. He is worried about the insurance situation.
What is interesting is Gibson said he is going to be OK because all of his family including his pet chickens survived. All of the buildings that made up his mansion (it was a beautiful home) as well as all of his vehicles were burned to the ground. But the chicken coop was left untouched. Not a single chicken died.
It might be a sign from God to Mel to get the hell out of California. Gibson shared a video of the complete destruction, one of the only celebrities with destroyed homes to be completely open about what happened to his home.
So I heard him in an interview regarding the fires, he almost broke down into tears over his house burning. I'd gotten the impression his house was a loss, but this is saying otherwise? Hmm...
The interview was yesterday. He was evacuated without knowing the condition, he look a video of flames licking his deck. He assumed everything was gone. His neighbor stayed behind and later with help, he used water in his pool to put out hotspots.
They made fun of him because he got emotional talking about the fear of his 94 year old neighbor being abandoned in his home during the fires. Sick bastards.
Didn't we see something similar in Maui with Oprah and her group? One side of the street was devastated while the other was untouched. Is this just a coincidence? Have we forgotten we're watching a movie? What makes a movie great? Great actors. And isn't James a great actor?
Blue roofs protected from the lazer!!! Btw when James gave his account on CNN, he said he had 17 minutes to get out of his home. So…. I can’t wait to read the future stories of how all this (years of details) went down.
FICKLED FINGER OF FATE? (Not for those who believe!)
"A thousand may fall at thy side and 10,000 at thy right hand, but it will not come nigh thee" When we are delivered, we give glory to God. In our hearts (fate) has no place, because it is filled with faith. (in God)
Wow!!! Can you live in a home right away after it survives a fire like that? I think the smoke smell has to be cleared. I would imagine there will be roaming looters too. BUT it’s wonderful that his home was safe!
Full body chills - thankful for this good man not having a complete loss !
God was watching over him so that Mr Woods could stay in CA and keep up the good fight
What a witness to the Power of Prayer and Faithfulness. Thank you Lord!
More here on his house and neighbors https://x.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1877856197459780065
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth!
I don't see James Woods as meek, but I know what you mean. He IS humble, compassionate, and non-malicious despite his brassy personality.
I'll have to think on that.

I see your (and Peterson's) view.

That neighbor is the neighbor we should all strive to be.
That’s wonderful—because I’m waiting for Commifornia to decide like FEMA to deny funds, assistance and support to anyone they label as “Conservative”
🤡 This. Is. The. State. Of. The. World. We. Live. In. 🤡 HONK
Who on X posted it was karma that his home burned to the ground?
Multiple commie sympathizers.

Adam Carolla's condo survived as well. Everything around it was burnt to the ground.
Considering how cruel some people were being about his home burning it's good to see this.
When the rains come, it is going to be terrible.
Johnnie Carson used to joke that there are four seasons in southern CA: Fire, Flood, Drought, and Earthquake.
watch out for arsonists

Perfectshism and devisatashism? Sounds like Biden. Listen closely.
Wow...

I saw on X this morning; there is a push for James Woods for California Governor 2026. 🤔
He’s a very intelligent man and if Ronnie can do it, so can Woods
Seems that fickle finger was on God's hand...
