I’ve invested quite a bit of intellectual capital attempting to establish what I considered was an unrealized truism – that religion was essentially about values not beliefs…as is popularly accepted. I thought (and still think) I have good reason to continue down that path (even Jesus said ‘know them by their fruits’… i.e. values not … More God is not a Christian (Thank God!)
A lying, lesbian, satanic jezebel. That was how Rachel Maddow was stylized by one of my ever-Trumpian friends. The ‘queen of fake news’ probably would have sufficed, but there is a vile, bilious underbelly to the diatribe spewed forth by Trump followers (no… ‘imitators’) who have been deceptively recruited and manipulated to protect and defend … More Hallowed be Thy name 1
It’s on! “The dems took the bait and played the impeachment card. Its gonna come back and clobber them in the head when they lose 4 more years of sitting in the cold, even with the popular vote weighing heavily on their side. Republicans are champs at political gaming. And now the boss of gaming … More It’s on!
My preceding blog served to demonstrate what a critical mass of anthropologists have acknowledged for some time now – the potency of belief system in determining the nature and boundaries of human experience. As asserted in the conversation In defense of truth, when cosmologies clash, the factor that settles the contest is not debate but … More Clash of Cosmologies

In spite of the optimism of all those who believe in Martin Luther King’s moral arc of the universe….(the one which bends long but tends towards justice) no one is advised to assume that the truth will prevail. And even it does, considering the length of time it takes for some truths to triumph, (The … More A kingdom divided
I always cite the trial of Jesus to support the claim that sometimes deception runs so deeply, that it is best addressed not by clarification or argument but by the test of time and scrutiny. Whereas Jesus once boldly and openly claimed to be the truth, at his trial when asked “what is truth?” his … More The truth, the lie and the difference
Pray for Donald Trump! The word ‘for’ does mean ‘in support of’. But what factors represent authentic support? Yes-men, genuflectors and sycophants are often the surest path to one’s downfall. The truth supports us all – that is the rock of reality. And that’s what the Spirit told a prophet (who shall remain unnamed in … More Pray for Donald Trump.
The Politics of Religion pt. 2 It was a Trumpeter, my name for those inFoxicated (not a slip, spelling intended) friends of mine who see Trump through the ‘right’ lens, as opposed to the ‘wrong’ lens….. at least as far as they are concerned; who asked the stunningly honest question: In a world of conflicting … More Mine
