The etiology of Christian feminism is not feminism. Feminism, per se, is based on 17th century concepts of rights. I am a virtue ethicist and a utilitarian way more than I am a deontologist and see rights as a constructed means to the ends of morality and not essential and fundamental. I oppose patriarchy forContinue reading “The Etiology of Christian Feminism”

Romans 13 and State Legitimacy
Romans 13 is the famous Bible verse where it implores people to obey the official authorities. I more take the view that it is a pragmatic article of advice to prevent excessive martyrdom and don’t see it as a normative moral but it does have a normative meaning, too. I take that position, in part,Continue reading “Romans 13 and State Legitimacy”
Is Country Music Morally Nihilistic?
While most genres of music and art from all time tend to surrender to market pressures and employ the baser urgers of the human condition from sex to revenge to other things like that to get popular, the country genre’s core demographic are conservative Christians and it does seem to represent the lives of mostContinue reading “Is Country Music Morally Nihilistic?”
The Theology of Pigasus the Immortal
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”
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”
Calvinism and New Atheism
It has often been argued that New Atheism is as fundamentalist as religion may be but I would narrow that I term the likes of Richard Dawkins to be a Calvinist. It is not merely that they have the passion of fundamentalists but also the logic of them. First off, their dismissal of all metaphoricalContinue reading “Calvinism and New Atheism”
