Lately, the hate comments have only increased—especially since Trump returned to office. It’s revealed something deeper to me: so many Christians are deeply afraid.
Fear is the root of demonization. People don’t attack what they understand—they attack what they’re told to fear. And tragically, many Christians have been taught to fear God—…

Got to talk about the issue of omnipotence and ’s theology of amipotence in relation to Jessica Jones and Killgrave with and . Super nerdy and super fun
Getting an encouraging message from a reader out of the blue was a wonderful thing to wake up to. Blessed be God, who has been so good to me.
Easter has a way of creeping up on me.

Very good news! Not only is Abrego Garcia alive, Salvadoran authorities, reversing their initial refusal, allowed him to meet with Senator Van Hollen, who called Abrego Garcia’s wife to “pass along his message of love.” The police-state machine blinking in the harsh light of global scrutiny?
A clip from Saturday’s upcoming GeoLex episode… I got scammed in Saigon 😖 But the dude was actually really nice and, to his credit, my shoes looked dang new!

Nietzsche is on fire today…read em and weep (for our country). 🌈✌️
This is insightful. As a Catholic — a cradle Catholic, but an intellectual one — I spent a long time jumping, like Qoheleth, from one pursuit to another in order to find meaning, to “prove” myself, as it were. That included a lot of intellectual pursuits and attempts to master Catholic theology.
Like many who attended Steubenville — defi…

While we can never fully appreciate the suffering of Jesus, and many others have suffered much more than I, allow me this reflection on my experience with chronic pain and a healing mass. God bless you this Good Friday.🙏

“He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
(Philippians 2:8-11)

"The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love; It signifies Love, It produces love. The Eucharist is the consummation of the whole spiritual life."
— St. Thomas Aquinas
Just received the latest issue of Amon Hen and last one with Amanda Drske as Editor-in-Chief as I learned that she had passed this past Monday. Amanda was a kind and amazing person. Her love for Tolkien and the fandom were palpable. She was always willing to collaborate on ideas for Mallorn and she even shared the art submitted to be fea…

Reading the Odyssey again for the first time since high school (twenty years ago)!!
“In this grave lies Lilly the sweetest doggy of all and beloved companion of many years. A great exemplar of canine intelligence, looks, faithfulness. She had no human vices but many human virtues. She had no enmity but only love. This sepulchre is witness to her virtues. Her mistress’s tears and remembrance will not soon die away..”

Michael and Satan Fight for the Body of Moses
Commentaries on the Letter of Jude are more interesting than you might expect. There’s a lot going on in these 459 words. F’rinstance, Jude 9 is a real rabbit hole: ”But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounc…

How anyone can go along with developing this is unbelievable
I remember hearing that evil Gates say he dumped his stock in the shots at the start of or prior to omicron. Gates said -at that time - he is now investing in a nasal spray for mrna products which he believes would be much more efficient.
At least he’s not hiding his intentions. No jab? No problem. Just breathe. We’ll take care of the rest.
The Pied Piper of Pestilence weighed in on this? then it must be good!

Hey traveller, do you think they’d try this on planes with the compliant ‘travellers’ ??? Is it already happening ? Where?
What if the intellect behind it all is not human? Maybe that makes it more believable?
What rot.
Please stop exculpating the criminals who are responsible for all this. These "not human" narratives serve the criminals by providing them an escape and exculpation from their criminal responsibility. There are people behind all these breathtakingly horrible crimes and only people, and those criminals must pay for their crimes.
It demonstrates a depth of personal depravity that is un-comprehensible to people with an iota of decency.
