A tale of 3...

One school shooting where the district, the police, and the state failed miserably and we watched sheriff’s cowering in fear, which results in massive coverage and demands to ban inanimate objects.  

Two where the shooter was stopped by armed officers, and we get silence.

I’m sure there is meaning here.

As you may or may not know, Disney and the Oprah took a fantasy book laden with Christian allegory (much like The Narnia series), replaced the Christian subtext with some sort of generic, inoffensive, vaguely eastern mystical spirituality and made a special effects laden movie out of it. I’m not sure what the budget was, but we can assume large, can’t we?

Yet somehow a low budget, less widely released film about the story behind a CCM song outgrosses the Oprah.  

Time after time these low budget explicitly Christian films out perform expectations, and yet Hollywood still churns out schlock that either ignores or offends Christians.   Seriously, I can only imagine what Noah would have done if they had stayed closer to the story.   I personally can’t  believe that someone couldn’t update the Story of Esther (or not) and make a supremely compelling film. The Bible is full of great stories, that could lead to great films.  

Really, isn’t that  what good filmmaking is all about?  Telling a good, compelling story in an engaging and skillful way?

I’m not sure how the pro LGBTQXYZPDQ crowd would respond to this

In Oklahoma, a 45 year old woman married her 26 years biological daughter.  Not legal daughter, but biological daughter.   I’m not quite sure how the “you can’t limit who you love” crowd will handle this.   It seems to me that as long as it’s yes consenting adults, that it should be good with the pro “gay marriage” crowd.  

Hawking

Two things to remember about Stephen Hawking.

1. He has now experienced the ultimate consequences of his worldview,  and knows more than he did yesterday.

2.  Feo, and those like  him would gladly have encouraged his mother to abort him.   Dan, would wholeheartedly support his mother had she chosen to kill him.    Seems like a distinction without a difference, but...

Happy International Women's Day! Unless your are an evil terrorist cxxt.

This is the kind of thing we get from folks like Dan, Feo, and their ilk.  You know the "tolerant:, "inclusive", "progressive" folk who love everyone.

“terrorist @NRA cxxt”

“You are a useless cxxt”

#NRAKillsKids

#NRAIsATerroristOrginization”

#NRAWhore”

#NRABloodOnTheirHands”

The NRA are “terrorists who promote the death of children”

“Her children will be nothing more than racist pigs all because mama…is a racist bigot, nasty, gun toting whore who is all about killing and guns”

“I have no interest in talking to u-in listening to u-look at ur life woman-jesus Christ on the cross-have you no soul?  U have 2 kids and you whore yourself out for the HRA”

“Fxxx off”

“Calling a woman a cxxt is offensive” “Although…in this case”

The silence around this kind of thing is deafening.

 

What happens

What happens to our society’s view of children when they are separated from the act of sex between loving parents, but become products created in a laboratory?

What’s more worthy of trust?

The physical, or the metaphysical?

Biology or psychology?
