Okay guys, let’s do some straight-up biblical analysis. We haven’t done that in a while and this is great timing for looking at these two pieces, I think. Plus, it will keep my mind off the jester who’s stolen the thorny crown. And I don’t mean Bob Dylan. Let’s chat about Cain. Poor Cain. He […]
I hate being remiss in blogging. I want to blog, but it seems like the only subject is COVID-19 which is not exactly within the scope of this blog, ya know? But then you get a nice little chuckle that does fall within my scope. Mr. Trump, he of the recommendation of the anti-malaria drug […]
I learned very little from my required Economics class in high school. Her tests were taken directly from the notes she put on the overhead projector, meaning all you had to do was right them down and glance at them a few times for a perfect score. All I had to do, anyway. Plus she […]
Appropriately enough, I think, my mind turns to Passover today. Okay, okay, specifically my mind returns to the Passover sequence in The Prince of Egypt. What can I say? I still love the songs. The bit with the plagues was ridiculous. I mean, Moses asks to let the Israelites in Egypt go free. Ignoring for […]
Funny story. My mother and I discussed the possibility of homeschooling baby sister before she started preschool, largely because the education system in this state is one of the worst in the country, and this city is not one of the better ones for education in that state. But since a four, five, six year […]
If books and movies are to be believed, evil times, whether those evils are personal or affect the whole world, are perfect situations for people to either lose their faith or find their faith. Some personal evils include the death of a loved one, especially by violence, natural disasters destroying a home, really, anything that […]
After trying to figure out a concise way to do a review of this very complicated book, I decided that I would approach it differently, and address specific chunks rather than present you with a 20-page research paper. Now I would like to point out one thing in advance. The title The Cult of Trump […]
My mother, in essence, doesn’t understand why I can’t leave well enough alone. Talking about religion makes people uncomfortable and defensive, so why bother them about it? It’s their right, after all. Yes, it is. But one must also consider why they believe what they believe, and what impact that will have on the world. […]
Edit: Oops! I got Genesis 38 confused with Numbers 22. The YouTuber I directed you to before also covers that tale in “The Most Bizarre Bible Story.” The end of 2019 was kind of rough for me. Things aren’t quite settled yet, but I’m trying to work on it. Reading, though–that’s something I’ve been doing […]
My paternal grandmother comes from the Philippines. Typical “met my grandfather while he was in the military, got married, moved to the States.” She has been extremely religious (Protestant, maybe Methodist specifically?) my entire life. Her daughter, now deceased, was the only one of her children who followed in that, and my uncle and cousins […]
