Amen HT Deen Thompson
Enough to get rich on but not enough to pay living wages
The lie keeps rolling. Enough for making ones self richer but not to pay living wages. HT Deen Thompson
Occupy Economic Alliance with the 1%: The evil of joining the alliance with the greedy rich
Should seem obvious, but such is greed and the ideological gullibility that is encouraged by morally and spiritually compromised entities calling themselves “churches”. They’ve lost their way and are deep into darkness.
Taking cosmic redemption seriously
” …theologians would be foolish not to focus on sin. We human beings fail to love, both ourselves and others as ourselves. Relationships disastrously break down in individual lives and shared social life. Violence breaks out on international and domestic fronts. Voracious greed, racism, sexism, human trafficking, and other unspeakable injustices become solidified into social structures and create havoc. Suffering Continue Reading
On the “It’s cold outside, so global warming must not be real” memes
For the umteenth time, I have seen a post of a denier joke meme of the same ignorant variety on the meme: “It’s cold outside, so global warming must not be real.” One of the best retorts to that I’ve heard is from Stephen Colbert: “I just ate, so world hunger must be a myth”. When I comment on such Continue Reading
The place God calls you to
“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” — Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking: A Theological ABC
“Expanding” the idea of salvation
OMG, the warnings I will receive about the heresy of expanding the idea of salvation so far as this book “threatens” to do! It will distort the simple meaning! It will detract me from the Good News of the Gospel, which I should be preaching “instead” of all this “political” Climate science mumbo-jumbo! “How can we imagine the gracious, compassionate Continue Reading
The Face of Corruption
NOt so much an idiot, but a profiteer with zero scruples. Corrupt, selfish, and spoiled. Ice Lady.
Imminent Human extinction? “We’re not getting off that easy”
From Peter Sinclair:“I’ve been promising this new vid.I’ve spoken out before about the extreme claims of the “Methane bomb” in the arctic crowd – which is a cottageindustry on the web, and has a lot of people freaked out. I was lucky to interview several experts at the American Geophysical Union conference in December, including Carolyn Ruppel, who leads the Continue Reading
on the meme: “the world is not ending in 12 years”
Ok. I keep hearing the right wing meme, cast at @AOC, “the world is not ending in 12 years” My reply to all repeating that like some kind of robotic “meme-imbibers”: You fail to understand the reference for that. There was an IPCC paper that talked bout the importance of the next 12 years (and the next 32). Look it Continue Reading
Eco Crisis is perhaps the biggest reason to “Occupy”
My prior theological focus , before my “Eco-conversion”, was the Occupy movement. Before ecoecclesia.org was my blog address, it was occupytheology.org (both urls still work, in addition to theoblogical.org ) This woman is strong in both economic justice and the ecological crisis! So pumped to see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaking so strongly on both! I feel my “Occupy” sensibilities are still Continue Reading
A detailed analysis of the “Red Hat High School Student vs the Tribal Elder”
Here’s an account of the RedHat High school students and the Tribal Elder that seems credible. http://bit.ly/2FYd0me Long and detailed, but it seems we need this more elaborate and detailed observation, based on hours of viewing of various videos from people who were actually there.
“It really boils down to this”
From a friend on Facebook:“Still one of the best core statements of ecological truth ever – and especially now when so many would like to shred this fabric of our ecological reality into little pieces. With this reminder: individualism is a lie.” “It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable Continue Reading
