This world is evil, and the vulnerable are exploited by those in power. This can take many forms: if you want to see evil consider how the UN preaches women's rights to the West so that we censor ourselves, while allowing gangs to rape those women who are starving. Because women, particularly unarmed women, are … Continue reading A defense of sexism.

Hell and Incest.
Paul was educated. He knew his plays, and his mythology. So he knew of Jocasta and Oedipus. But since this time is fallen, and the children are no longer taught fairy tales, we have to revise. Tolkien said (I paraphrase) that the myths we have are broken shards of truth. And here is the truth: … Continue reading Hell and Incest.
Harvard is sinful thus stupid.
A bit of history. Harvard was founded by a bunch a Puritans who had just gone beyond the starvation point in Boston. Like most universities at the time, its primary aim was to produce preachers: doctors were trained by apprenticeship and lawyering was no profession for a gentleman. But now Harvard appears to worship coitus. … Continue reading Harvard is sinful thus stupid.
The dying divorce industrial complex, again
Disclaimer: I am married, as is Brother S. Both of us are trying to run marriage by God's rules. Both of us aware that this breaks all the rules that the coven of Duluth have managed to make law in many places. Both of us are married to very competent women who agree with us. … Continue reading The dying divorce industrial complex, again
To the Faithful Christian Bloggers.
Before I get into the lectionary, I have a plea for my Papist brother. Back up your site. In wordpress, this requires that you export everything to a xml file. Be prepared to reboot on another platform. Because the social justice mafia are not only attacking the charities of the church, but any means we … Continue reading To the Faithful Christian Bloggers.
The death of Billy Graham shows the methods of the spiritual and the unspiritual.
Overnight, we lost one of the great evangelists of my grandparent's generation. Billy Graham was born at the end of the first war: my parents were born during the depression. He preached to my grandparents: by the time my parents were adults he was running crusades in New Zealand. And he preached the gospel into … Continue reading The death of Billy Graham shows the methods of the spiritual and the unspiritual.
A churchian melts down.
As a result of the cyclone, I've spent most of the day indoors. I've managed to get into a fight about the Community of Christ (who do use the book of Mormon, which they should not). But a CoC member, along with a fair number of the Dread Ilk, started correcting this... "And it's only … Continue reading A churchian melts down.
Anathema, Anathema, Anathema.
Theology makes peoples teeth itch. It is deemed offensive. But it is needed. Needed. For without a structure to our belief, we fall into error. What we see as wisdom is instead foolishness. This has led our churches into apostasy, and as Michaelpoulos notes, the presiding Archbishop of the Orthodox Church in America (I hope … Continue reading Anathema, Anathema, Anathema.
Blame Canada, follow Pence.
It is a fairly good rule of thumb. If the Liberal elite in Ottawa approve of something, do the opposite. Peacekeeping leads to corruption and child slavery. Liberal divorce laws lead to men walking away from marriage and an implosion in the birth rate. And in a time when an accusation can ruin you, true … Continue reading Blame Canada, follow Pence.
The broken model or skin in the game.
The trouble with much of our learned commentary, our elite, is that they don't have to pay wages. Their wealth is not on the line. They don't take risks. Instead of making things, they criticise them, or worse, regulate them. Such people, as Nicolas Taleb, notes, deserve contempt. There is inequality and inequality. The first … Continue reading The broken model or skin in the game.
