Do Your Homework Series: “Hegel is an Alchemist” and “Marx is a Gnostic” (Understanding Their Heretical ‘Confession of Faith’)

March 21, 2024

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Do Your Homework Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

I’ve learned a number of things today–being halfway through a three-part lecture series by James Lindsay. I’m pondering a number of these things to incorporate into other writings here, but for the moment I will share the three videos. I intend to keep listening as I work this evening and hopefully finish up the third. I paused to share this short post. I paused after the speaker stated that the original title to the Communist Manifesto was called “The Communist...

Book Review: “Reckoning With Power” by David Fitch

February 24, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Fitch begins the introduction to his heretical work with two basically-flawed premises that there are “only two types of power in the world” and that “God’s power is never coercive.” “I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was...

The Reconstruction of Joseph (According to “Queer Theory”)

August 7, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

This morning I had reason to ruminate on the Joseph of Genesis. There was something in my mind that made me want to listen to a particular part of his story. The story of Joseph interpreting the cup bearer’s (and the baker’s) dream is what I wanted a refresher on, but I picked up right before that part and continued listening for awhile, up past the part where the brothers and then Jacob went into Egypt, and on past when...

“DEATH.” PART 2: Crossing the Jordan, Death Wrestling, Death Doulas

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

“DEATH.” PART 2: Crossing the Jordan, Death Wrestling, “Death Doulas“ I believe that all religions/spiritual views distill down to two main themes: Life and Death. True Christianity is set apart as unique in its handling of basic premises and tenets of the faith. I am going to (somewhat) randomly present three scriptures that come to mind concerning these life and death themes–one from the Old Testament, one from the New Testament and one from the Gospels. __________ The Offer of...

Full Tilt Misogyny

Audrey Hepburn remains an iconic figure whose image has been engraved in the minds of both earlier and later generations as exemplifying womanly beauty, stage presence, talent, style and an adorable mix of sweetness–with a pinch of edgy sass. One cannot look at her delicate frame, her sweet-demure gaze, her perfectly styled hair and edgy feminine attire (including her iconic white gloves) nor watch her dance without feeling some type of magnetism. She could easily be the subject of many...

When All You Think About is Who Has Power: Deconstructionism and Intellectual Sleight-of-Hand

December 26, 2022
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I am listening to a very good podcast and need to pass it along for those who share in the pursuit of truth, morality, faith, justice and a host of other things from a vantage point that embraces both the individual (in the best sense) and objective truth and is not grounded in destructive ideology that feigns moral and intellectual integrity. I am beginning to lament various amounts of my gravitation toward some of the popular, influential deconstructionist voices that...

Playing Along With Fiction and Calling it “Gender Care”

December 5, 2022
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events

Once upon a time, for reasons we are still uncovering, an ancient society convinced a large number of people to believe a narrative of fiction — even calling it scientifically-based — through a heavy veil of linguistic machinations. It was demonically brilliant, and, we complied. To our own destruction and that of our children’s children, we complied. ~ Imagine that ~ They say truth is stranger than fiction. Last night I came across an interview I find worthy of passing...

Claiming Gender in an Obliterated Category

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I came across the video (featured at the end) tonight in my YouTube feed and feel it is worthy to pass on for consideration. First, I am appalled that a forty-five-year-old man on TikTok is influencing young people, many who may not yet be of consenting age, into paths of such self-devastation and self-destruction. In my generation, prior to the internet, if a man like this drove an ice cream truck through a neighborhood, parents would keep their children inside,...

The One True God Who Sees (Job 7)

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Thoughts on the Book of Job, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

Like every morning in the intensity of the entirety of my overall spiritual and personal battles – now going in full swing for what seems to be at least five years now but unidentifiable per se – I awake to spiritual, mental and emotional hedgehogs I must get past in order to even resume where I left off the previous day’s and last night’s pre-sleep-time evening battles… It is some form of Omaha Beach, every morning, simply to get to...

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients.
