  jonathan stegall: creative tension — Authority: 413
  So today, Google’s homepage greeted me with a link to this archive of photos of the Berlin Wall , as it fell 20 years ago today. In November 1989, I was six years old, and the event was a vague, but certainly positive, event from my perspective. In November 1999, I was a high school student, intentionally very ...

  PEACE PROBE by Gene Stoltzfus — Authority: 98
  Major Nader Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter was caught in an impossible matrix of shame.  As a Muslim he was asked to support the killing his fellow religionists.  Islam forbids the killing of other Muslims.  As a military man he was belittled and perhaps harassed for his growing Muslim convictions.  Good soldiers do ...

• Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist

  
  Not My Tribe — Authority: 486
  Even the most violent totalitarian system hasn’t enough weapons to outnumber the masses. For fascists to rule with an iron glove requires well deluded pacifist theologians to tamp the populace spirit. By example they can martyr themselves silly for all the overclass may care. The future of industrial man is a boot ...

  Pluperfecter: internet marketing, music promotions, web usability, blogs, social media, Peoria, IL — Authority: 119
  I find it deeply offensive that the steel ruins of the World Trade Center, attacked on 9-11 by Islamic Jihadists, has been used to build a warmongering battleship, the USS New York. Here are some suggestions on how the steel could have been better utilized. (1) Veteran or civilian hospital. (2) Metal detectors at ...

• Lay Your Weapons Down, Ye Jars of Clay

  
  Christians in Context: from orthodoxy to orthopraxy. — Authority: 124
  The band that has without doubt shaped my Christianity most profoundly is Jars of Clay .

• A Biblical Case for Christian Pacifism: The Sermon on the Mount II

  
  Levellers — Authority: 415
  Sorry it took so long to get to this entry, Gentle Readers.  I was interrupted by the move..  I argued that Jesus does not teach impossibly hard ideals in the Sermon on the Mount. Despite the New Moses typology in Matthew’s Gospel (Jesus goes up on a high mountain to deliver the new teachings), this is not “new ...

  Gentle Wisdom — Authority: 114
  David Keen , David Ker and Doug Chaplin have been posting on “5 Deeply De-Christian Doctrines”, a meme for which they have been tagged. So far no-one has tagged me specifically on this one, as far as I know. Is that because my name doesn’t fit the meme’s alliteration by starting with “D”? But David Ker ...

• WHATS A SELF-STYLED ZIONIST?

  
  REAL LIBERAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH — Authority: 128
  ... As for "self-styled [Zionist]," I put it that way because they are not Zionists. This is spiritually deep. David was admittedly confused. Zion was more than he knew. He knew it was supposed to be peaceful. He blamed those outside for starting the fighting. The real Zion is the peaceful Heaven in your mind and ...

  Thanks to EuroYank for reminding us of that video. EuroYank is also routinely censored even though he is clearly not a racist or ethnic bigot. He and I dont see eye-to-eye on everything, but we arent going to shoot each other to shut each other up. We arent going to work to stop each other from being allowed to ...
