It is worth considering that one of the primary purposes of Christ’s life, of God becoming Man, is to show that all things have their due process. For God Himself was subject to time and process, as time and process are God’s Will. The Gospel is a story, as all things are stories: nothing is simultaneous; to all things are given a time, a place and a season. The cosmos were not created in the blink of an eye but were formed in stages. And the world is not set in cycles as is often believed, but instead in spirals: events and movements which resemble previous experiences, but which have truly moved passed them.  It is of course “spiritual” integrity which purifies and expands the soul: earnest and sincere desire to align oneself to the nature of God— for we are not of our own nature.

He believes either God does not exist, or that God is cruel, or that God is playing an incredibly long and debilitating game with the...

 Maskfinder General    We are in August 2020, nearly five months into the variations of "lockdowns" and rules (not laws ), but "rules" related to the alleged "control" of some generic virus. I wont even say the name of it. Why should I? When I go out, I go out without a face mask. Why do I do that...? Firstly, I'M not sick. Secondly, the holes in my face are not suddenly weaponized as of 2020, and they are no more dangerous than they were two years ago when thousands of people died from complications with the flu, yet no one perceived those complications as being anyone's fault . The flu exists, it has existed, when my great aunt caught the flu and suffered from pneumonia we lamented that this totally natural thing had affected her unfortunate soul. But I didn't give it to her. The man down the hall in the nursing home who also had it wasn't accused of negligently spreading a disease simply by existing nearby.    You know, Denmark has rece...
