  • COVID-19 and Useful Pawns – Religion and Politics

    Here’s my message to those of you who drop bombshells without consideration of the truth. Maybe, just maybe you should consider being skeptical, and taking a little more time to do research before posting things that may well result in pandemonium as they make their way through the “social-media-sphere.”

  • Black on Black Crime – Religion and Politics

    There are issues in every walk of life and interaction type. That’s not bound to change. It’s all about the numbers. That’s where the problem exists. More people die of violent black on black crime by far, than die in police violence of any type. That is why people talk about black on black crime.

  • The Impossible Dream, Part II? – Religion and Politics

    The result is, there are any number of young people (and probably far too many older ones) who are prone to believe things that are entirely untrue. This then, is the “first battle.” To bring people to an understanding of the falsehood with which that have been plied, in order to rid them of notions…

  • Socialism, Fascism, Imperialism – An Evil Triad – Religion and Politics

    My final point? None of the allied powers from the time around World War II supported socialism (though it can be argued that Russia did so, it was with an eye towards communism) or fascism. This cannot be said for the axis powers. In my mind, for many involved in the allied cause, this is…

  • Young Turks – Religion and Politics

    I hope folks looking at what I’m saying here come to understand one thing if no other. The use of the name in question (The Young Turks) should be incongruent with any reasonably minded political group in the modern day. You think it’s not? Do the research and decide for yourself. I invite anyone who…

  • Spirit Versus Letter – Religion and Politics

    What do I conclude? The mask ordinance is a near total failure. This doesn’t surprise me in the least. More Importantly? Most folks care only about the letter of the law, not the spirit of it as such, a rule like that cannot help but fail.

  • It’s Free… – Religion and Politics

    Put another way, likely predominantly non-students got food, and the taxpayer (with little or no input) paid for it. That may not be a problem for you, but you can rest assured it is for me and others like me. I pay for what I eat and feed my child (who is “school aged”). When…

  • Movements – Religion and Politics

    The tendency for movements to move away from their first love, towards things that often are totally unrelated to their initial purpose and charter is why, but for a few notable exceptions, I do not support the concept of “movements.” This is also why so many people (who would not be otherwise), are so hesitant…

  • The Sea Slug Among Zebras – Religion and Politics

    There is an older “formerly transgender” gentleman who essentially said, “All I managed to do was to make myself look like that which I desired to be via chemistry and physical mutilation.” Remember, these are not my words. In the end, he was still what he was, and it made him feel no better to…

  • Statistics Versus Anecdote – Religion and Politics

    Put simply, if I didn’t kill your uncle, nor assent to his death, if you make me undergo retribution for that act, you’re potentially no better than the people who actually did kill your uncle. That doesn’t mean it’s not sad, unfortunate, and a matter that should be taken up that your uncle was killed,…
