This Mysterious Maker of the World–C.S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis
The Gospels declare that this mysterious maker of the world has visited his world in person. The most that any religious prophet has said was that he was the true servant of such a being. But the creator was present in the daily life of the Roman Empire–that is something unlike anything else in nature. It is the one great startling statement that man has made since he spoke his first articulate word. It makes dust and nonsense of comparative religion. C.S. Lewis

The American Evangelical Right has shown its real need is reformation–James Kelly
Christianity and her Church has been my moral center for most of my life. The past two years have shocked my sensibility as I’ve seen friends of mine, Christians, support Donald Trump.
While I’ve been Pro-life and Supported pro-Israel policy for 40 years, racism has been to my mind–ungodly. Sadly, as Trump supporters continue to bolster their President and often from an evangelical perspective that is patently wrong, their true colors seem to shine through. And there seems to be no color of the loving kindness of the Jesus I worship–whose love knows no skin color, or tribe, or race.
I am a left leaning Christian, in the manner of St. Francis I suppose, and perhaps I always have been. Recently a prophetic dream confirmed this. This blog will largely support a notion of Christianity that reflects Matthew 25: 31:46. I believe it always has.
Now, I believe the Evangelical…

Adam Serwer: White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots — The Atlantic
The seed of Nazism’s ultimate objective—the preservation of a pure white race, uncontaminated by foreign blood—was in fact sown with striking success in the United States. What is judged extremist today was once the consensus of a powerful cadre of the American elite, well-connected men who eagerly seized on a false doctrine of “race suicide” during the immigration scare of the early 20th century. They included wealthy patricians, intellectuals, lawmakers, even several presidents. Perhaps the most important among them was a blue blood with a very impressive mustache, Madison Grant. He was the author of a 1916 book called The Passing of the Great Race, which spread the doctrine of race purity all over the globe.

The Carl Jung Behind Jordan Peterson | Intellectual Takeout
The profuse number of man-children and wounded women in a never-grow-old culture indicates something terribly socially amiss—on that, Jung and Peterson agree. Charmless slackers and baristas who seem so often to have grown up with absent fathers or in odd, blended families are liberated from tradition and canon but feckless and lonely. Neurotic efforts, said Jung, to extend youthful conquests and an endless horizon continue “beyond the bounds of all reason” into middle age and beyond. Conversely, the old, instead of pursuing “illumination of the self,” turn into hypochondriacs and adventurers.
The Swiss psychologist foresaw and lamented the West’s break with tradition and the loneliness of modernity.
