Election Fraud and Violent Revolution

The question was never if election fraud was committed (there is always some level of fraud that occurs), but whether or not it arose to a level that compromised the integrity of our electoral system.  As a cynic raised by a cynic, I have absolutely no faith in the electoral process in the nation anymore, but apparently the Supreme Court determined that there was not even enough evidence to give Trump's campaign their day in court.  I'm sure it will go down as one of the great conspiracy theories in the political history of our nation.

Zealous Trump supporters are having a difficult time accepting defeat at the hands of a Biden campaign that featured two of the least electable candidates ever proffered by the Democratic party, and I think many Democrats and Independents misunderstand why.  Trump fans cannot accept electoral defeat, not simply because they are infatuated with Trump and/or are equally fearful of the alternative, but because they cannot fathom a world in which the majority of Americans prefer the likes of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (who almost certainly will become president before the end of Biden's term) to Donald Trump.  They simply cannot imagine how anyone could desire to re-empower The Swamp.

Unfortunately, this is the depressing reality in our nation.  The majority of Americans prefer the status quo.  They complacently accept this Left vs Right façade that perpetuates Federal interference in American citizens’ lives, massive budget deficits, continuous warmongering, etc.  Most people are happy with the way things are, or they simply don't care enough to effect a change.  Americans certainly prefer The Establishment to violent revolution and the cult of personality that has developed around the narcissist Donald Trump.    

Perhaps it's time for Conservatives and Libertarians to accept that the majority of Americans do not want personal freedom and responsibility.  They are perfectly content with their bread and circuses.  As for the rest of us, all we can do is live our lives and enjoy the memes.

"Father, Forgive Them"

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Forgiveness is hard.  Forgiveness is really, really hard. It’s difficult to forgive others who have genuinely harmed or offended us.   It’s easy to say , “I forgive you,” but it’s extremely difficult to feel it–to make peace in our hearts with the injustices that others have perpetrated against us. It just doesn’t feel right.  Sin should be punished!  Wrongs should be righted!  Right?! It’s difficult to forgive others when they ask for it.  It’s even more difficult to forgive them when they haven’t asked for it–when they don’t even recognize what they’ve done to hurt us. As our Savior hung upon His Cross, He asked the Father to forgive those nearby–those who were unwittingly contributing to the greatest injustice in the history of the world. These thieves, soldiers, and standers-by had no idea what was happening.  They had no idea that the jealousy of the Jews had placed Christ on that Cross...

The Real Presence & Paedocommunion: A Deeper Rift Between Reformed Churches

You're going back to Rome! Theological disagreements within the Reformed world, especially those of the last half century, often devolve into these sorts of accusations.  As controversialists like Doug Wilson and Peter Leithart began to break away from the larger conservative Presbyterian and Reformed denominations, it became clear that the rift was deeper than semantics and systematic minutiae.  Much like the Reformation four centuries before, the Table was a primary point of conflict.   What does it mean?  Who may partake?  What do we call it?    These questions, along with a few more, divided Reformed brethren as the physical elements of our religion reflected deeper conflicts.  Good men began to understand that the problem wasn't just in our logos, but in our pathos and ethos, as well. Paedocommunion (hereafter PC) has been one of the hottest points of contention.  PC has always been normal to me as I grew up with it.  I underst...

"The More Things Change..." or "Joe Biden Doing Joe Biden Things"

1 Samuel 2  relates the story of Eli, the well-meaning high priest whose only flaw (apparently) was his refusal to discipline his sons.  These sons, described as worthless men , utilized their position to abuse the people and indulge their lusts with impunity.  Eli's dereliction of duty brought his otherwise noble career in service to God's house to an ignominious end.   There are, of course, important differences between Eli and Joe Biden.  Joe Biden is not a religious leader (though he is a practicing Roman Catholic ), nor would I consider his record to be otherwise spotless.  However, similarly to Eli,  Biden's pardoning of his own  worthless son, Hunter, will prove to be his legacy.  His long (and I mean loooong) career in politics will likely be overshadowed, even in the eyes of those who previously respected him, by this one shameless act.  By pardoning his son despite  promising not to, Biden has yet again demonstrate...
