And how could we, more enlightened humans, now blessed with greater knowledge, deny our enlightenment and greater knowledge.  So that we would be more capable of accepting the 'childish' doctrine which would allow us to 'abide in Christ'?  What could we expect to achieve by self-deceptively indulging in such a gross act of self-denial?  That we should have to so debase ourselves, in order to make the God we our ancestors have created, appear to have some power, some meaning and relevance to our daily lives? Listening to the grand claims Bishop Inge was making for Christ and God, and about their purported attributes.   I was, for a moment, led to ponder on how grand claims and claims of grandness are insufficient to disguise Christ's and God's lack of power.  Irrespective of how loudly and persistently those claims are made. Since neither Christ nor God really exist, except in the minds of the faithful and the believers.  And are demonstrably

'So, how does a people move on from the trauma of the past, when their oppressor continues to perpetrate on them, the the injustices which they had perpetrated on them in the past, and led to their trauma'?  When their present is made into a continuation of their 'arrested past', and their future, is made into a projected vision of their 'past', of their 'past-present?'  This is the paradox, the enigma, which the State of Israel and the Judeo-Christian World have imposed upon the Palestinian people.' And so it seems to me, that, as the Palestinians in the Israeli Occupied Gaza and the West Bank, a nd their Diasporic brethens who have been scattered all over the World.   In order to unjustly make room for the Jewish people, who were encouraged to leave their respective homelands, and move to Palestine to 'create the modern State of Israel, in a land not belonging to them.  Not many empathic, logically and compassionate human b

Big Congratulations to Team Mercedes, Hamilton, Valterri, and to Team Ferrari and Sebastian, for having made the 1, 2, 3 positions on the Podium during Qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday. Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes have not been making and maintaining the start which they had hoped they would have been making at the beginning of the 2018 Formula 1 Season.  Which is not to say they have been doing terrible bad. Indeed, with a paltry but crucial 4 points lead in the 2018 Championship, there are many teams and racers.   Further down the order who would have been prepared to offer a few million dollars to be in Mercedes, Hamilton and Bottas' respective positions.  However, although we can well understand the aspirations of those teams and drivers, it is all about self-expectations and reputations.  Both of which are high, for Mercedes, Hamilton and Bottas, and, with their expectations not having been achieved, their reputations have been

Will they defend the rights of their business people and companies to carry out their lawful purpose of trading with Iran and its agents, within the relevant laws of their own countries and those of Iran?  Or will they leave them defenceless, to be frightened off, to be persecuted and prosecuted by the American government, with impunity? So, probably Germany; then, might it not be up to taking the lead on the counter-attack? Even though it might seem like  a brother or sister having to take sides against a brother or sister who has gone crazy and needing to be stopped. After all, with Angela Merkel just beginning her 4 term as Chancellor of the German Federal Republic, and being probably the most experience and successful politician in western Europe. With her being a strong leader, should she not be capable of taking a leading, if not the leading role.  In mustering the troops to counter this scurrilous and autocratic American assault on the independence,

To the extent that it does not pose any perceived or actual threat to the West, or to Israel, and/or the West's vassals in the region.  They, in effect, want to ensure that Iran and the Iranians are not able to protect itself from any internal and/or external attacks.  That is should have neither a 'defensive or an offensive capability.' Probably the United Kingdom, then, might be able take the leading role in mustering an appropriate and effective counter-attack to Trump's declaration of war on Europe?  Well, that might be difficult. Considering that Britain's Prime Minister May, and her Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, are currently at actual, if undeclared war with each other over agree the terms for Brexit.  Not only that, but both Theresa May and Johnson are in economic and military pact with Saudi Arabia.   Which supports Trump's declaration of war against Iran, and would not want to appear to 'offend' Saudi Arabia. 

'It might be the measure of our 'sense of security', when we find ourselves in the comparatively privileged position of living as if our tomorrows are assured.  Of not having to be living, or, more precisely, existing on 'the edge.' Of having to exercise our intellect with the challenge of how to meet our daily basic needs.  A day at a time, and with the fear of having to repeat the same process, tomorrow, if it does dawn upon us.' Life sucks, we sometimes hear people say. Life is hard, we say, or hear others say.  Man, I am just surviving, things tough, it really is rough. And they are, for millions of people.  Life can be a drudge, a daily grind for millions. For those of us living in the more affluent West.   The more industrialised and 'liberal democracies', life, living can, indeed becomes tough, but probably rarely unbearably so.  Yes, there are the probably ever increasing 'pockets' of serious deprivation.   Pocket

This is a short video of a part of Barmouth, Wales, United Kingdom. As you can see, it is a rather beautiful place, nestling by the sea, with a splendid range of mountains overlooking the bay. It is a place which many people would find worthy of a visit, should your travels take you to this part of Wales. Please take a look and a listen, and, should you find it to be so, do contemplate and enjoy!
