Hi I'm Solomon...

Pastor (yes real pastor... but not that kind of pastor), writer, thinker, and rapscallion. My upcoming book (yes a real book) "Not a Biblical dating Book" (2025) ... considers how spirituality impacts dating.

Chronically online... thinking about community

To model mercy not in the abstract but in the tactile and tangible… what Peter Thiel and western evangelicalism miss … if you worship Christ but don’t follow Christ … you are not a Christian

You are a zealot

Worship is not the point … love is

The Christian is a participant in a multi generational social systems movement to model mercy

So what Jesus is doing and luffy i in a way… is not deification but (d)emocracy

The messianic consideration of Christ abjects the moral social and communal implications of christology … not to worship … but to follow

To follow Christ in love justice and mercy

If you can you should…

Giving is how we get through

If you're comfortable, & you have everything you need taken care of with a little extra, you don't have to give to mutual aid, but why wouldn't you? The hoarding mindset is capitalist. You can easily be part of the community that supports real life vulnerable folks. We're all we got. You gon learn.

This is a man that missed the entire plot of one piece

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.
