ex cathedra: Dogma verified by experience

Dogma verified by experience

I used to say that the only empirically verifiable dogma of Christianity was Original Sin. Look around. Slam dunk.

My recent bout of bad back had me watching daytime TV and I got to see several episodes of a program I have never watched, "Desperate Housewives." I know it's a stupid comic soap opera --with some pretty hot but hopelessly whipped males--and designed to magnify the flawed and histrionic, but it does serve the empirical verification process pretty well.

And if you want to move to "real" life, try ten minutes of Real Housewives of Orange County, or their sisters in Atlanta.

Kyrie eleision.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
