Who’s This Blog For?

February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

It may be obvious, but in case it isn’t the main reason for this blog is to help make humankind less alienated ontologically and eventually to end our ontological alienation completely.
In working toward that goal, The Ontological War is concerned with two main groups. The first group is made up of ontological sensitive people, and [...]

Rev. C. John McCloskey and Richard Land: We hate liberals

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

Richard Land, the president of the Southern Baptist’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), and Rev. C. John McCloskey III, Catholic evangelist and Opus Dei member, both hate liberals.
In an ERLC statement about its public policy battles of 2009, Land and ERLC VP Barrett Duke write:
As we predicted, we spent most of last year resisting [...]

Who We Are Ontologically Determines Where We Live

February 5th, 2010 · No Comments

The ontological world each of us lives in is determined by our degree of realself: those of us who are being mostly if not almost entirely our socialselves live in the socialself world, and those of us who are sensitive to our realselves live in ontological worlds that are made up of more of the [...]

Help! The World’s Too Big For Me! Make It Smaller!

January 31st, 2010 · No Comments

Several of my posts here have been critical of Catholics, and the main reason for that is that Catholics and the Vatican have pushed themselves to the front of those who are working to get all of us to become more alienated. But there are other organizations besides the RCC that are working to accomplish [...]

The RCC INC.

January 31st, 2010 · No Comments

Frank L. Cocozzelli has written an interesting article, “The Politics of Schism in the Catholic Church,” in which he examines the church’s moving toward a more conservative, if not reactionary, direction.
For those of us who have been keeping up even slightly with what the Vatican and “traditional” Catholics have been up to lately, this shift [...]

Alienation in the Schools, Alienation in the Courts

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

In a previous post, Dr. David Barton: Jesus Is My Bitch!, I explained how decreasing realself people are trying to make public schools more alienating, and a recent decision by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals shows that the courts are being used to do the same thing.
In yet another Ten Commandments’ case, the [...]

Dr. David Barton: Jesus Is My Bitch!

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

A few days ago UPI had a story about two guys in Texas who want the Texas Board of Education to start including Christianity’s role in social studies in its schools:
[David] Barton [of Wallbuilders] and [Rev. Peter] Marshall want Texas public schools to focus more on points of history related to Christianity. Among their suggestions [...]

Jesus Is My Bitch!

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Some people, ostensibly Christians, use religion and Christianity to help them bring about an alienated ontological world to match their own failed ontological states.
Many of these Christians roam the countryside looking for people who disagree with them, and then they use the Bible, God, Jesus, Christianity, and religion as weapons to attack those who do [...]

I Am Anti Catholic But Not Anti-Catholic

January 7th, 2010 · No Comments

There appears to be two main categories of people who dislike the Roman Catholic Church. The larger of these includes all the Protestant conservatives and fundamentalists who disagree with the RCC over theology. Tim LaHaye, John Hagee, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc., with their talk of “a false religion” and the “Great Whore of Babylon,” all fit [...]
