The Wandering Heretic

My last thoughts on the election; or at least my last published thoughts for awhile. I’m going to regroup and concentrate on what is really important: the Church as the Body of Jesus Christ and what that means in terms of perspective and daily life.
Still, the election brings up some curious results. First of [...]

We, the United States citizens, have elected the first declared radically left wing President. It does not matter if the popular vote in favor of this change was 52% of the populace; this country works in terms of the electoral college and on those terms it was a mandate. Those in power will act [...]

As I noted previously, just as Colin Powell called out the time of death for the McCain candidacy for President, his opponent’s V.P. candidate, Joseph Biden, got out the paddles and yelled “Clear.” In essence, though McCain is probably still going to lose, Biden’s statements gave some doubt that even Biden himself desires such [...]

Now that Colin Powell has probably given the coup de grace to the McCain/Palin candidacy, I am going to take some time to review or give my postmortem on this year’s Presidential Election. (Though barely a day after Powell pulled the trigger, Joe Biden dove in front of the bullet—but I will [...]

My last post discussed some of the rather strong reasons against Christians voting in secular elections. It also discussed the alternative of Christians voting for a third party candidate who has no chance of winning but accords the most with their ideals.

Voting season has come to the American shores. Again, I chose, among a set of people I would not wish to lead me to the ice cream store, just which one gets my vote…or if I should vote at all. It may be surprising, in view of the last few decades, but the [...]

I have been exploring the implications that the overriding government of the world is a monarchy. God is set as King of the world. He started being an active monarch during the ministry, life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus of Nazareth. This monarchy continues to be active in our own day [...]

One would not have to be a reader of this blog for long to realize that I am not a Fundamentalist. Nor do my views on heaven and hell find much in common with Evangelicals. Though at times, my economics may fall into sway with the Christian Right, on other issues they would [...]

This is the last part of my review of Jeff Sharlet’s, “The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power.” In the process of my review, I have contended that the subtitle is extremely misleading. As the terms are commonly defined, the organization (if it can be called that) headed by [...]

Jeff Sharlet has written an expose of the Family. The organization, currently headed up by Doug Coe, is touted in Sharlet’s book as a secret, semi-underground society that directs American politics both domestically and in international relations. In reading the book blurbs as well as the endorsements, one is left with the impression [...]
