I got the better part of my education from such a school
Every year the professors pretended to believe in the historical existence of Adam and Eve and the infallible truth of the Bible
Nevertheless in every class the failures accumulated until Adam and Eve were only dusty archetypes and metaphors

If a man doesn’t believe in food stamps, takes them away, or votes for someone who does, it’s because he is an abuser who needs someone to control
And he will tell himself he deserves reparations for the control he has lost before he will admit reparations are deserved by those he controlled

What can we say of a school where teachers swear on their intellectual integrities and their immortal souls to keep believing the same wrong things even after finding out they were wrong?
That is the definition of a religious school
It functions according to design
At least, it does to an extent

Until secularists entered the conversation, the conversation around slavery was about evangelism, not emancipation
Once slavery was a hindrance to evangelism, then evangelists began to advocate emancipation
And that’s why today they are more likely to remember William Wilburforce than Thomas Paine

In the presence of human stupidity, even the gods stand helpless
And this is because they are little more than that themselves

If a character in a story devises a fate worse than death it can only be because he gets off on it
Or, in other words, it makes him feel glorified
Is it possible that a being of almighty wisdom and power can’t get high without smoking some of his offspring?

People say this symbol has recently come to mean supremacy
But it always did
It stands for the idea all offenses will be forgiven to the loyal, to believers, that the only offense unforgivable is unbelief, and that, like it or not, one day everyone will admit it
And that’s what it meant all along

If Jesus wanted his followers to turn the other cheek when struck, he shouldn’t’ve said once he returned with power they were going to judge the world
If he wanted the rich to give their wealth to the poor he shouldn’t’ve said they’d always be with us until his return & that only he could help them

Jesus prayed that his disciples be united
But if he didn’t want division, he shouldn’t have said he was coming back with a sword in his mouth to throw false prophets & whoever said he was one into hell
That was a self-fulfilling prophecy of religious civil war
And even in heaven it always will be
