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.

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…

I know myself to not be the best and brightest where many things are concerned. Have you some mechanism by which we can begin to become a “society of sunlight?” If so, please believe many would love to know how you might affect such a thing. That’s where I currently stand.

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
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…
