ex cathedra: Strange webfellows

Strange webfellows

Now that I have had to switch browsers and upgrade some applications, I have a new shadow friend, not of my choosing, called text enhance. It hooks up with selected words you type and connects, or "enhances", it with a link to an ad.

Here's their brilliant link to job opportunities on a site about a double Master's degree in philosophy and theology from the Dominican graduate school in Berkeley.

Anonymous said...: I can't understand why Ex Cathedra objects to Islamification, since Shariah would shroud this shameless single mother in chador or even a burka.

In fact, were it not for Islam bringing philosophy, poetry, mathematics, science, astronomy etc to the West, we Westerners would be completely unable to understand our own works of philosophy, mathematics, science, astronomy etc. We couldn't even exegete the Bible (as a kind of Text Enhance of the Quran). So theology and philosophy à la St. Thomas wouldn't even be possible for us without Islam. The Summa theologiae a.k.a. Beatrice would rot on the shelves for lack of understanders. We wouldn't even have the least understanding of divinity and love without Rumi leading the way for us!; 10:28 PM, June 18, 2012

As for the mom, I'm glad she's not in a chador. Cuz to be honest, being a single mom - she wouldn't be in a chador under Islam - she's have her head cut off.; 8:31 AM, June 19, 2012

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.
