Update

Not yet six months ago, while writing my memorial tribute to TB Joshua, I discovered that the Emmanuel TV YouTube account had been deleted and therefore the hyperlinks to several videos highlighted in my blogposts no longer worked. I have already made mention of Google’s massive and malevolent assault against the memory and legacy of … More Update

Cosmology and Consequence (Association)

Both persons of faith as well as agnostics will struggle in incomprehension to digest the Kevin Smith story. Unfortunately, the lessons we all need to learn demand greater insight into human behavior and potential and into the nature of reality than our limited vocabulary at present allows. Dismissing in disgust, whether as charlatan or Satanist, … More Cosmology and Consequence (Association)

A time to kill

Paul’s sentiment that it is better to publicly surrender one’s soul to Satan for destruction of the body than to allow moral reprobation to spread unchecked throughout the church is no longer considered appropriate.

However these days, distinguishing fringe … More Religious beliefs are not sacrosanct

Some parts are meant to be literally understood, and they are written accordingly – as history, or theological propositions, or whatever. But one would not expect to read the … More Bible Literacy: Literaturists and Literalists

Chronfoundment

For twenty years, I have largely remained silent about certain popularly accepted, and almost never questioned cosmogenetic presuppositions of fundamentalist believers, wishing to steer clear of controversy. However, if one’s vision of the past is impaired, so likely will their depth understanding of the present and their ability to accurately project into the future. For … More Chronfoundment
