20251220—Destinations—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Getting back to the original point of this ramble, it seems to me (to reiterate), you should consider a relatively brief list of things to decide where you’re going in this short existence. To begin with, “Have I agency or not?” If you respond in the negative, little else matters. If you do, the next…

20251213–Change—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Do you rue the current state of the World? Would you see a better tomorrow? If so, be someone who embodies what you wish to see. Want to do even more? Seek to guide others into equally good and honorable places.

20250625—Am I Right?—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
You want to understand how the majority of right-leaning folks think? I may be wrong, but I’d be awfully surprised to hear it wasn’t a lot like me. There are certainly extremists out there on both the right and the left. That said, I don’t think anything like the majority (or even a plurality) on…

20250621—Slave—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Are you suffering hardship? Is your life far from what you desire it to be? I’m sorry to hear it. It may be my privilege to assist you in getting to a better place at some point. Even if that’s true though, please take care to not “overstate (or understate, as it were) your case.”

20250615—Reality—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Look for—even cultivate—the good where they may be found. Know they exist. Take the time to get to know them. Work with them where possible. For in such pursuits, together, we can make the World a better place.

20250614—Church Lineage—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
To sum up, if you believe some congregation of folks has “lineal heritage ties to” the early Church—genetically or through spiritual leaders—I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but why exactly should I care? My concern is to look to Jesus Christ, in God more generally, and into those Words wherein salvation may be found. To…

20250608–Neurodivergent—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
The long and short of things is, sadly, the term “neurodivergent” has been so polluted by this point, as to be of little to no use in my way of thinking. You can agree or not; that’s how I see it.

20250607–Guilty—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
If I were to call you a murderer and assert it to be true with no proof, would you think that acceptable? If I then used that as a basis to discount your perspective—facts be damned—would that be okay? It’s my fervent hope you answer that soundly in the negative. Have you chosen to count…

20250601—Genocide—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Too long; didn’t read? When the word genocide is used to mean anything other than “the attempted extermination of a given genetic group of humans,” it’s not just being badly applied, it’s making it more or less impossible to convey that meaning when it’s desirable or necessary so to do.

20250526 — Laws—Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Boiling things down. We have serious issues with the legal system as it now stands. Primary among them, is the existence of a gigantic tangled mass of potentially conflicting rules. I’m not smart enough to say how this should, maybe even could be fixed. Nonetheless, fix it we must. If you have some method or…
