“To me, the dissolution of the modern nation-state into smaller, more anarchic, less centralised units would be welcome. Perhaps then we could rediscover the roots of our old nations, and begin to rebuild them again. Perhaps too, new nations will form, built around a spiritual core and a love of place, which will give to their people the kind of Continue Reading

Gnosticism in a nutshell: “In the worlds of political, religious and economic man, commitment was outwardly directed to those communal beliefs, practices and institutions that were bigger than the individual and in which the individual, to the degree that he or she conformed to or cooperated with them, found meaning. The ancient Athenian was committed to the assembly, the medieval Continue Reading

“The first act of divine revelation is creation itself. The first Bible is the Bible of nature. It was written at least 13.8 billion years ago, at the moment that we call the Big Bang, long before the Bible of words. “Ever since God created the world, God’s everlasting power and divinity—however invisible—are there for the mind to see in Continue Reading

“If it is ‘the pursuit of the ideals and methods of modern science that has brought us into this catastrophic situation, clearly there can be no issue from it without the renunciation of those ideals and methods.’[12] That renunciation has to be a long mental and spiritual effort: the sloughing off of a way of seeing; the refusal of the Continue Reading

This is an important observation, which I think should reveal just how inaccurate it is to blame "religion" in general for this mess. It is the drive to power, that mutates both religion and people into slaves of "the machine". It is, to look at it another way, a "religion" of it's own. One of modernity over "superstition".

I'd love to open up a can of that look on not only him, but Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Johnson, for starters. Classic. Enduring. Needed.

So the famous passage about "humbling ourselves (as a people)" is read by the President with a total lack of any sign of any humbling of himself. Nothing says "performative" and "oblivious" and "hypocrite" any better.

What will it take to save us? First thing is to take it seriously. “The beginning comes after the end” **…..the old is collapsing under its oldness. We’ve actually been trying to use the old, long sequestered, by extracting and burning, which is a maximum way of “holding on to the past”. Think “overshoot”. Taking a sequestering, balancing process of Continue Reading

The biggest condemnation imaginable for these creeps.

It's important that the world undewrstand the MAGA/Trump White House and Administration and majorities in government to be a global threat.

Yeah, this guy knows about "truth". B.S. He is promoting and traveling the world to represent lies and evil. But this is what evil does. It masquerades as "truth". Wolves in sheep's clothing. Apostles of hell. How's that for "theology" ? https://www.facebook.com/reel/1242001101432825

Not only is MAGA/Project2025 NOT a "fundamentally Christian view of culture and economics", it is DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED to any notion of what Jesus taught concerning the "Kingdom of God" that was the central vision of his life and teaching. MAGA/Orban/Trump/GOP is ANTI-Christ.

The Foreign Minister of Iran outclasses the Trump Administation, by light years.

Good Lord, these people are delusional.
