So it’s patriotic to wear a mask under threat of statist violence but Democrats are the party that regularly condemns the notion of patriotism. Technically, didn’t Biden find his way through grief by stealing another man’s wife? Guess to Democrats, insurgents looting in the streets are about respect and dignity. ...

In an initial analysis, many of the platitudes proffered by Sojourners Magazine seem well intended. Yet it is often more that these ultimately fail to address the world as it actually exists in favor of how one might long for it to be. For example, in recognition of the Texas school massacre, this media outlet distributed as part of its regular email newsletter a poem with the words, “Rise above the fear, speak out loud and clear. For our children, put the weapons away.” ...

A pastor remarked that parachurch organizations are parasite organizations.  Parachurch organizations are generally defined as Christian entities that work outside of and/or across denominational boundaries in regards to issues that a traditional church body might not be able to.  Some pursue this manner of ministry because the church has no place for or perhaps even outright refuses such individuals the opportunity to exercise the talents and even the spiritual gifts with which God has im...

When confronted with the idea of Transhumanism (the idea that human beings ought to embrace the advancement of the abilities of the species beyond our traditional limitations often through the application of science and technology), the average person is likely to zone out. With words such as nanotechnology, cybernetics, and panspermia bandied back and forth in such discussions, it is easy to conclude that one will never be able to understand what some of the most formidable intellects of the er...

A poll finds that 56% of Americans believe that the country is racist. Of Whites believing this, an additional poll should be taken to determine what number of these are willing to surrender their property, position, or profession to a minority having accomplished nothing more than having been born a minority. Covid Liability Shield. That sounds like if you are mangled by a Plague cult elixir that you are not going to get a single cent. Fraulein Bowser has decreed those traveling to and fr...

With Augustinian theology elevated to the status of the defacto official position of the Roman Catholic Church, eschatology was downplayed in terms of an emphasized doctrine. However, that did not necessarily mean that assorted undershepherds followed this example dutifully. Rather, a number of subtle errors were introduced over the decades and centuries often from non-Biblical sources that not only undermined the credibility of the Christian faith but also resulted in a degree of social confusi...

The "Today Show" has a "Today Show" all day streaming channel. The program is barely watchable in the mornings. Do the Woketopian thespians intend to articulate one of their conniptions about the cultural misappropriation of casting a Black girl as Little Orphan Annie? Number in the parade from a musical about the wives of Henry VIII. Doubt they actually paraded about in miniskirts and that one of them was Black. Do feminists intend to toss a fit about trivializing the complexities of the ...

When Christians approach the contemporary UFO and extraterrestrial phenomena, they would be best advised to keep two things in mind that are distinct yet interrelated. Firstly, irrespective of whether UFO's exist or not as an objective or verifiable phenomena, they do in terms of the minds of those that believe in them and draw from them an inspiration as a mechanism for understanding man's place in the broader universe. Secondly, if what those claiming to have contact with does indeed have an e...

One of the perplexities of philosophical and religious research is that it can be easy to misconstrue the personalities and movements one is attempting to study through the prism of one's own respective worldview. This tendency, if one is not careful to adjust for it, can be compounded when decades and even centuries separate those seeking to understand the past and those events, personalities, or ideas one is attempting to learn more about. This is especially true if the undertaking is of a mor...

A problem or concern with those the most enthusiastic about their faith in God is not that they are necessarily zealous but rather that they expect you to embrace their interpretation regarding those issues where those sincerely holding to the essentials of Christianity can view a particular moral conundrum differently. Take for example the issue of sports. No Christian in their right mind will deny that professional athletic spectacles can potentially get out of hand to the point where those...

It almost reeks of conspiratorial collusion that some of the worst riots in contemporary history just happened to transpire at the exact same moment when these destructive vagrants can’t be punished for concealing their faces with a mask but rather could be if they did not. On the podcast “Pastoring In A Pandemic”, it was suggested that a church could stagger the concentration of congregants by placing them in different rooms throughout the church property. Individuals could be spaced suffici...

In a sermon, a pastor boasted that he no longer watched the news. The purpose in so sharing seemed to be to insinuate that “since I don’t, neither should you.” It was suggested that instead of paying attention to the social and cultural decay around us, our efforts should rather be directed towards bringing Jesus to the attention of the lost. ...

To the dictatorial mindset bordering on the cultic, it is not enough for the tyrannized person to do as they are told. Such souls must articulate that they rapturously agree with the imposition placed upon them or at least refrain from verbalizing their disagreement. As proof that the House of Mouse most identifies with characters amidst its assorted franchises such as Thanos and Palpatine, Disney fiefdom ESPN suspended broadcaster Sage Steele in part for admitting that, while she dutifull...

On the 10/2/14 episode of his Daily Briefing podcast, Albert Mohler began with the alert that marriage in America is in trouble. But the theologian did not provide statistics regarding disturbingly high rates of divorce, shacking up, or out of wedlock births. Instead he provided the number that 1 in 5 of adults over 25 had never been married. ...

Apparently Governor Cuomo is alright locking down New York under his own authority but flies off the handle over the prospect of President Trump considering a similar possibility. Does that mean that he is now a convert to the cause of states’ rights? Perhaps he can demonstrate his fidelity to the cause by endorsing Arizona’s efforts to protect its own borders. Is it really socialist to accept the government economic relief check when it was the government that ordered the economy locked down...

An article published in the April 2012 issue of “In These Times” asks in its title “Will Catholic Bishops Be GOP Pawns?” and warns in the subtitle “The Church and Evangelicals are finding common ground”. The author suggests that American Catholic leaders ought to concentrate more on promoting the cause of “economic justice” rather than upon so-called cultural issues that have been thrust to the forefront of the American civic dialog over the course of the past several decades dealing with mat...

Episode 41 of the Commonweal Magazine podcast addresses the topic of “White Churches & White Supremacy”. The discussion consists of this leftwing Catholic outfit interviewing Robert P. Jones, a Southern Baptist wracked with White guilt, about his book “White Too Long: The Legacy Of White Supremacy In Christian America". In the discussion, it is revealed that the title is taken from a quote by writer James Baldwin. ...

An old adage contends that it is all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Something quite similar could be said regarding living by the “live and let live” philosophy espoused by many early twenty-first century relativists thinking they are too cool and hip to be stifled by any one religious creed. In a letter to the editor regarding an 4/27/2010 USA Today article analyzing the tendency of young adults not to be devoted to a particular faith, a respondent observed this trend is the resul...

President Trump has been banned from Twitter. The justification is not so much over what he said but rather that his words might incite what assorted social media platforms categorize as violence. Yet nothing as drastic has been done to curtail actual tyrants, terrorists, and activist vandals for utilizing the technology to foment deceptive propaganda and to even coordinate assaults against property and infrastructure. ...

A mural painted on a building in an undisclosed municipality depicts the Statue of Liberty wearing Air Jordans along with the words “equality” and “reparations”. The proponents of such propaganda urging the confiscation of resources from one group of people to be lavished upon another that did nothing to earn them apart from being born a particular skin color will make the argument that it’s nobody’s business what message a business might decide to plaster across the side of its building. ...

There is one thing that Americans will agree on and that is that the country is in a mess. The socio-economic situation totters on the brink of collapse with deficits and debts poised to consume in wholesale the total value of the nation's wealth. Upon hearing of trial verdicts or police actions not to their liking, like clockwork certain predictable segments of the population no longer simply utilize their constitutional rights to articulate their disagreement but instead like invading hordes l...
