  • My (Fill in the Blank) is Autistic – Autism

    It’s a “mixed bag.” Pretty much anybody who’s paying attention is aware that someone (maybe more than one someones) they have met casually,  know a little more closely, or have charge over, is Autistic. The reason it’s such a mixed bag is, on the one hand, it means folks are aware that “Autism is a…

  • Who were you? Who are you? Who will you be? — Religion and Politics

    There are subjects one would assume are “done to death.” And maybe that’s a fair statement for the one I’m intending to address with this post. That having been said, I also firmly believe there are things that cannot be said too often. Further, there are differences in presentation that may cause a given point…

  • Religion, Politics, Philosophy and Relationships

    One of the rarest things I have experienced in my neither greatly short, nor particularly long life, are people who I can account “kindred spirits.” This is rather amazing when you consider that I ought to have a great deal in common with folks who are Christians on the basis that we claim Christ as…

  • Benchmarking Disability – Religion and Politics

    The first thing I need to do with this article is to “disclaim.” I’m not suggesting a “real” or “complete” process for “benchmarking” disability. Rather, I intend to talk about the consideration of the seriousness of various disabilities as well as what considerations can and probably should be used to “benchmark” disability. One of the…

  • You are who You are, Your Acceptance Notwithstanding – Religion and Politics

    One of the favorite memes of the “Internet unapologetic” on social media in the modern day has the essential form “I am who I am, your acceptance is not required.” Each iteration is slightly different, but all are essentially statements by the posters of the idea that they are, essentially unapologetically, who they are. The…

  • On Finite Resources – Religion and Politics

    I have to acknowledge that my perspective on the concept of “finite resources” has changed somewhat over the course of time. I have pretty much always accepted that “complex” resources are finite. Take as an example the car. As technology has made it possible to make cars faster, while at the same time, making them…

  • Isms – Setting the Record Straight – More on Discrimination – Religion and Politics

    It’s an interesting reality. The more folks are able to complain they’re being “discriminated against” on some basis or other, the less it’s typically actually occurring. You see, if you can come out and openly state—even quietly, much less shouting it from the rooftops—that you’re being discriminated against on some basis without any harm coming…

  • On Civility – Religion and Politics

    It must be considered to be a simple reality of life that, when we speak, we do so from a perspective that is uniquely our own. There are some that will complain that doing so requires a lot of use of the words, “I” and, “me.” Be that as it may, such is the case…

  • Unconditional Love – Religion and Politics

    I have never met or even known of, another person with whom I agree on every point upon which they have expounded. I’m not at all surprised by this fact. To be honest, I consider it more or less a foregone conclusion that this will likely always be the case. The reality is, if a…

  • Motivation and Disability – Religion and Politics

    As with just about any other thing in life, understanding of two subjects that seem separate from one another, but in reality are strongly related—in this case, motivation and disability—is not a simple thing with which to come to grips. To begin with, the two seem entirely unrelated on first glance, and it’s not until…
