For humans, power is indispensable. Our DNA seems coded with an innate need for control. We are not satisfied with merely being here. We want to know that while we are here, we take control. We also have the disposition to adapt and to surrender. We would not have survived this far without it. But … More Power and Dependency
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!)
Christians by the thousands all over America have been fervently praying for the president. Fasting, praying and perhaps speaking in tongues to Jesus that the US Senate will hurry up and make this impeachment just go away. Witnesses and documents can only further corroborate the truth that everyone knows and that everyone in the GOP … More Justice Truth be ours forever
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

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
Although most official state consultations take place discretely behind closed doors when presidents and head of states summon the Christian Charismatic prophets, it is increasingly common for official state delegations seeking specific favors from the prophetic grace on senior prophets such as TB Joshua, Uebert Angel, Shepherd Bushiri, etc to be received openly in Divine … More Prophets and Politics in Africa
The urge to unity is at the heart of all the virtue capital of humanity. (While venture capital may build a city’s walls, virtue capital – the treasures of developed human capacity, will sustain them; and when lost, a civilization will rot to ruin like dead men’s bones and join the roster of once upon … More We the people
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.
