Few Things Are Sadder Than…

Christians who have no interest in their Christian faith. And no intention of changing that fact.

What wasted lives.

It Made Me Laugh…

Now that’s funny.

Friends Don’t Let their Dilettante Friends Talk about the Bible or Theology

Ever.

Lord, Hear Our Prayer

Since the womb they have gone astray, the wicked, on the wrong path since their birth, with their unjust verdicts.  They are poisonous as any snake, deaf as an adder that blocks its ears so as not to hear the magician’s music, however skilful his spells.

God, break the teeth in their mouths, snap off the fangs of these young lions, Yahweh. May they drain away like water running to waste, may they wither like trampled grass, like the slug that melts as it moves or a still-born child that never sees the sun. Before they sprout thorns like the bramble, green or burnt up, may retribution whirl them away. The upright will rejoice to see vengeance done, and will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.  (Ps. 58:3-10)

There’s Nothing Democratic About the Appointment of Supreme Court Justices

One person choosing them and 100 people putting their ‘stamp of approval’ on them does not a democracy make.

Justices should be elected just like other public officials and they should have term limits.  That would be democratic.  The current method is tyranny.

But then again, everything about our system, with its two parties (and no others in practice) and its super wealthy politicians on the national level is purely an oligarchy.

We don’t live in a democracy.  And that needs to change.  Because at present our choices can be boiled down thusly:  would you rather eat a bowl of maggots or a bowl of dog vomit?  Those are your only choices in American politics at present.

Bad Theology 101: “Pastors, submit to the flock, under which you have been hired as employees until they tire of you and hire someone else.”  – Michael Svigel

Signs of the Times

Still, if you don’t care about your kids enough to teach them about God, we will.
