My favorite song is Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, as mentioned at the front page of this website. It is how I do politics. Now, in the context of religion and nonprofits I work with lots of Republicans. I should extoll what my political theology is. I became a liberal as a child and the contextContinue reading “The Theology of Pigasus the Immortal”

The Teleology That Doesn’t Exist
Living on the left, I am curious as to what world my people are fighting for. From my perspective, they want a hypermodern, cosmopolitian world where everyone is a platcel hikikimori. A platcel is a portmanteau of platonic incel and simply means someone without friends. And without religion or community and living in a ScandanavianContinue reading “The Teleology That Doesn’t Exist”
Why “All I Want for Christmas is You” Was the Last Christmas Classic
Many takes have been made on this, yet, they miss one major thing. It is the reason that equally priced homes with Scandanavian minimalism and Victorian Maximalism will be morally judged differently with the latter rhetoricallty burned at the stake. It is the same reason big poetry houses won’t publish traditional rhyming and metered poetryContinue reading “Why “All I Want for Christmas is You” Was the Last Christmas Classic”
Conceptions of Hell
I don’t usually dive into theology on this blog but I will here and what could be more fun than the invisible world of magic people go to after they die? A perennial point of theological dispute is that of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Of the traditional and more stereotypical conceptions, I prefer Purgatory beforeContinue reading “Conceptions of Hell”
The Perennial and the Pundits of Christianity
What does Jesus think about abortion? The answer is like what most religion and secular ideology is, whatever you already believe, your tradition is on your side. To escape this, there must be a philosohical framework with which to answer. My answer is Jesus is not a pundit and Christianity is not a platform ofContinue reading “The Perennial and the Pundits of Christianity”
An Aesthetic Critique of Christian Nationalism
Firstly, style is dead in the West. We have lost the romantic prettiness of the vintage era, the hot chic of the mid-20th century, and more. Neither the tiara of a Victorian heiress nor the glamour of a golden age movie star does our era possess. It is not merely that the Kardashians are vain,Continue reading “An Aesthetic Critique of Christian Nationalism”
The Culture Shock They Never Mention
On September 7, 2021, I was working as a legal asistant and legislative aide for state legislator and in this capacity I recieved texts and a call from someone who was supposedly his client. He claimed to be a schizophrenic bipolar person in the Al Canon jail on a contraband phone. It soon devolved intoContinue reading “The Culture Shock They Never Mention”
Hedonism and Populism
One of the most curious social phenomenon is that so many decades after the sexual revolution, sex is still regarded as edgy. Same with alcohol. People talk about drinking heavily like it is some bold and radical act of subversion. The Volstead Act hasn’t been a thing for a while. Having never had an alcoholicContinue reading “Hedonism and Populism”
The Life of Brian Versus The World
The Life of Brian was famously hated by members of my religion for its superificial mocking of it. The offense taken by Christians to the movie seemed stupid and shallow. They were offended by The Life of Brian overwhelmingly, not because of its message or its effect on the audience but because of its ostensibleContinue reading “The Life of Brian Versus The World”
On Contemporary Religious Art
I write lots of religious art, mostly in the form of poetry. As anti-modernist as my sentiments have been expressed on this blog as, it would not surprise one to surmise that I hold contemporary religious art in very low regard. Recently, there was something called the “Martyrs” exhibition at Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London.Continue reading “On Contemporary Religious Art”
