Republicans Hold A Spectacular Lead Over Democrats (1-25-22)
January 25, 2022 21:46 - 17 minutes - 8.2 MBChristopher Caldwell writes: When Joe Biden took over from Donald Trump a year ago, Democrats held a 49-to-40 advantage. From nine points up to five points down in less than a year — it is one of the most drastic reversals of party fortune that Gallup has ever recorded. The data analysis site FiveThirtyEight shows a parallel collapse in Mr. Biden’s own popularity. He entered office with higher approval (55 percent) than Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton or George W. Bush did, but has since tumbled...
Living By Principles In An Unfair World (1-25-22)
January 25, 2022 20:57 - 16 minutes - 7.36 MBI respond to Chad Walker's comment: Luke says he wants the J6 protestors arrested, just like he wants leftist protesters arrested. That's nice. The problem is in the real world leftists protestors get off Scott free while right wingers are destroyed. Luke ignores this double standard and attacks his own side, demanding they hold themselves to principles their opponents refuse to play by. My basic problem with Luke is that he is pushing this dishonest narrative that we shouldn't stand up t...

Cinema Vs Religion (1-20-22)
January 21, 2022 14:01 - 6 minutes - 2.75 MBBryan Ronald Wilson wrote in 1966: * In using the mass media the Churches permit their own material to be reduced to the level of the medium, to be put forth without much differentiation of presentation from a wide variety of highly heterogeneous and at times incongruous material. This in itself must detract from the high claims to pre-eminence which—of necessity—religion makes for itself. There is indeed some evidence that the use of mass media themselves alters the image of the Church.3 In...
Chatter: The Voice In Our Head, Why It Matters, And How To Harness It
January 21, 2022 14:00 - 17 minutes - 7.97 MBEthan Kross: "The ability to “step back” from the echo chamber of our own minds so we can adopt a broader, calmer, and more objective perspective is an important tool for combating chatter. Many of the techniques reviewed in this section help people do this, although some—like performing rituals and embracing superstitions—work via other pathways. 1 Use distanced self-talk. One way to create distance when you’re experiencing chatter involves language. When you’re trying to work through a diff...

The Rise And Fall Of Adventists (1-19-22)
January 20, 2022 05:17 - 12 minutes - 5.52 MBBryan Ronald Wilson wrote in 1966: "The earlier adventist and millennialist movements which had arisen in expectation of a new dispensation with the returned Christ as its head were all too often movements only in the very literal sense of the word. Their members often had little capacity for sustained Christian commitment except as impelled immediately and unreflectingly by the intense emotions awakened in a situation of social and economic deprivation. The intensity of their feeling could s...

January 19, 2022 04:55 - 15 minutes - 7.02 MBBryan Ronald Wilson wrote in 1966: * Religious thinking, religious practices and religious institutions were once at the very centre of the life of Western society, as indeed of all societies. That there were, even in the seventeenth, and certainly in the eighteenth and nineteenth, centuries many unchurched people to whom religious practices and places were alien, and whose religious thinking was a mixture of odd piety, good intentions, rationalizations and superstitions, does not gainsay th...
