Texas Republicans Are Against Pornography In Libraries and Are Supported by Republicans In Other States

Library of Alexandria artist rendition

This essay is dedicated to my well-read and erudite friend Woody Besse in Cedar Hill, Texas who puts up with my decidedly anti-Republican essays exposing the duplicity and double-talk given to education and learning, First Amendment rights and guarantees, and the equality of all people regardless of sex, gender, gender-identification, race, age, status, etc.

Burning books and other items containing knowledge is as old as time. Julius Cesar burned the Library of Alexander, that was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The Library1 was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts, and all documents in it...

Nazis Targeting Texas Jews Claiming Jesus Hates Jews

Around 10 members of the Goyim Defense League came to Austin from Florida this past weekend, hanging an anti-Semitic banner on a MOPAC overpass near the Shalom Austin Jewish Community Center on Saturday and then walking around the heavily trafficked 6th Street. “They were all wearing t-shirts with big swastikas and hats with the same,” said Renee Lafair, regional director with ADL Austin.

Nazis attack Austin, TX

The Goyim Defense League (GDL)1 is a small network of virulently antisemitic provocateurs led by Jon Minadeo II of Petaluma, California.

GDL parodies the Anti-Defamation League’s name and logo by replacing “Anti-Defamation” with “Goyim Defense”—“Goyim” being a disparaging Yiddish and Hebrew word for non-Jews...

White Evangelical Christians and their Ancestors

QAnon at the riot

The cult-like conspiracy system and conservative Christianity are influencing one another and creating potentially violent fanatics under the stress of the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic fallout.  Both movements are angry and bitter over former president Donald Trump’s election loss —

QAnon at the riot

Many white Christian evangelicals were QAnon followers at the Jan 6 riots shouting for the death of Mike Pence

which they believe was fraudulent. “Older members would ignore Black Lives Matter and instead say we had to focus on sex trafficking,” said Jared Stacy, who led a Southern Baptist church in Virginia until recently moving to Scotland with his family. “It’s like 2020 just exposed so many undercurrents that were already there and growing...

Freedom of Religion: Fact and Fantasy

1692 Massachusetts Christian Puritans saw the Devil everywhere

1692 Massachusetts Christian Puritans saw the Devil everywhere

Freedom of religion is a centuries-old expression. In most cases freedom of religion does not exist. It is not accepted by SCOTUS or most courts or jurists. It is not enshrined in the nation, nor in separate states. At best it is a buzzword, but in reality freedom of religion is a fantasy that has enchained the USA since its inception as American colonies.

From Maine to Georgia, the North American colonies were not founded as bastions of theological freedom or the right to disbelieve that which came from the pulpits of the churches that existed in Europe...

When religion triumphs over reason, faith, psychology, investigation, and research, learning dies

Religion has always opposed human freedom. Instead of liberty to expand the mind, religion has sought mind control from the days when the Christian church was formed in 325 CE, to the rise of islam and beyond. Many tortured souls, like Josemaria Escrivá hid behind mortifications of the flesh (flagellation), and pretended, like John Paul II, that these were pious acts encouraged by St. Paul--proving their own linguistic and Biblical illiteracy.Read More

Christmas, Jesus, December 25, and making merry

Christmas is considered a time of families being together, sharing drink, food, dance, and various pleasures--but this has never been the rule for all nor the fortune for everyone, as religions have held it captive, deprived it of its temporal joys, and denied the reality of peace and harmony.Read More

12 Apostles: Constellations, Numerology, &Theology in the world’s religions: Quest to Understand Origins; a study of textual criticism, translation, interpretation and linguistics

The least educated, most gullible turn to fortune-tellers, star-gazers, numerologists and religious fundamentalists in quest of answers that they are too afraid to find for themselves. All religions have gazed to the stars for answers and ordained or commissioned religious leaders to provide rituals that include eating the body and drinking the blood of their crucified saviours. But why is this? This essay explains the foundations of fear and the quest for comfort in a world not known--even seeking relief from extra terrestrials.Read More
