Happy Twentieth to everyone here in the Epicurean philosophy group. We're going through a time of major testing for all of us, and there's never been a time to test all allegations about "the truth" against the evidence of the senses! If you've never read the short piece "Alexander the Oracle-Monger" by Lucian, which detalls Epicurean skepticism and inquiry in the face of fraud, now is a good time to do so!

Happy 20th.
Over the last days and weeks, I have been hearing the most remarkable oracles from my acquaintances and relations. If God wants you to die from a virus, he'll make it happen. And also; If you trust God and do not fear this, He will save you. I have been told earnestly that the projected official figure (65 million) is just an homage to Satan—by way of "rounding up" 65 to 66.
I have heard them clamour for the churches to remain open, because Jesus is the only true medicine.
What a joy it is put all that nonsense by: to cleave to what we know, and to confess just as readily to what we do not know.
Peace and safety, friends.
Amen! 
These are times when contact with other friends of Epicurean persuasion is even more valuable than usual!
I hear you! "Mysterious ways" and all that. Happy Twentieth!!

KD 16 Chance steals only a bit into the life of a wise person: for throughout the complete span of his life the greatest and most important matters have been, are, and will be directed by the power of reason. (Saint-Andre translation)
