    20250518–Producing Children—Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    Does it seem like some sort of imposition to produce and rear progeny? Imagine your life without them—particularly as you grow older. One more point and I’ll cease my nagging. Until you have children, you have no idea what a wonderful thing it is so to do.

  • 20250517 — Downfall and Redemption — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    20250517 — Downfall and Redemption — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    The point of the story is this. Even the seemingly unlikeliest of individuals can be brought to a place of redemption. Unless God Himself tells you you’re beyond His reach. I firmly suggest you ignore those who do.

    20250511 — Reality — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    The point of all of this is, expose yourself or others to unreality or not, it will likely affect your—and their—future. My take? Allow some exposure, but be guarded in so doing. That’s my viewpoint. Welcome to it!

    20250510 — Focus — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    On the other hand, it should be obvious just by glancing around, and opening one’s ears, that others will at least not concern themselves with whether what they do or say, is the best possible thing. It should be equally clear that many will quite literally be intent on evil. If you focus on the…

  • 20250504 — Needs and Wants — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    20250504 — Needs and Wants — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    The point of what I’m writing here is this. Typically, neither government, nor organizations of various types should be responsible for determining either my ability to produce, nor my needs. Add to this my belief that neither of the above should (generally) decide what amount of that which I produce I’m “allowed to” retain. Do…

  • 20250503 — Welfare — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    20250503 — Welfare — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    That’s not to say many in both have no interest in producing quality, just that it’s a secondary impulse at best. Between this and the tendency for government to naturally migrate toward bureaucracy, it’s exceptionally uncommon for those in the public sector to work in either effective, or meaningful ways. It’s primarily on this basis…

    20250427 — Life Advice — Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    TLDR; What I’m trying to make plain is this. Those you view as having solid life advice have probably been through any number of hardships about which you’re likely to be blissfully unaware. To some extent, they are who they are as a result of those difficulties. You will likely go through such things as…

  • 20250412 – Utopia – Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    20250412 – Utopia – Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    So if after reading what I’ve said, you decide you still seek to achieve Utopia, I guess I’ve failed to bring you to a place of understanding and acceptance. For my part, the matter is a simple one. I do not speak of Utopia (except to deride that very bad and broken concept), for I…

  • 20250329 – Gender Versus Sex – Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    20250329 – Gender Versus Sex – Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    You may think it’s reasonable to use these ideas interchangeably. Permit me to strongly disagree with your doing so. In case you hadn’t noticed, what has happened here is, we’ve totally destroyed the idea of people using the idea of gender to describe themselves somehow being either the opposite sex, or “gender fluid.” Don’t like…

    20250323 – On Philosophy – Kurt’s Religion and Politics

    I’m not naive enough to believe there aren’t many folks out there uninterested in understanding and objectively considering that which I put out there. I don’t expect you to fail in that understanding either. I get too, there are those who are “emotionally invested” (whether as a function of “sunk cost fallacy” or not) in…
