Sex Is a Realself Event

March 1st, 2010 · No Comments

Quite a few people think sex is “just biological,” or “just physical,” or even “just chemical.” But as men and women increase their degrees of realself, they see that sex is actually linked inextricably to the realself.
Why is this? The main reason is probably that even though we can become alienated ontologically—we can fool ourselves [...]

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 [...]

We Can’t Pick-and-Choose Our Alienation

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

As people become more their realselves they become less alienated ontologically, and they develop a deeper and closer bond with reality and with the natural world—the life that exists other than our own. Men and women who reach this ontological state realize that the natural world is in fact their true home, and they develop [...]

“Realself Ontology” and “Ontology”

February 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

I recently commented on an article at The American Catholic and found almost no surprises to the kinds of responses to my comments. Several people stopped replying to my comments, which is very common: we are all afraid of increasing our degrees of realself—of who we might truly be—and so for many people when they [...]

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 [...]
