Thanks, BFH.
“This is how your time should be spent.”
What? No more drinking beer and chasing women?
That was dynamite — thanks for the link !
Bookmarked for later.
Bill Whittle is one of the great thinkers of our time, IMHO.
Thanks for the link.
Just finished watching. Excellent. Thank you…
Watched it. Very good analogies. Lot of truth in there, although I was a little queasy on all of the evolution references.
Then you’ll just love this, DaveVA. I did a little more digging around on Anonymous Conservative and his research. Fascinating stuff! My linking is goofed up, so I’ll just copy a small portion of one link. This is from Free Republic’s site (they linked AC’s blog on this). After reading it, I had an epiphany about the implication of the threat of violence and death used as a weapon against the left. And a small example of why pictures of dismembered babies murdered by abortion is like Kryptonite to the left because it is just too graphic for them. It takes them out of their safe space of a “mass of cells” and into the realm of real innocents being really murdered.
Here’s some of what AC has to say about this subject:
“An experimental study by Jost, Fitzsimons, and Kay (2004) demonstrated that priming people with images evoking death (e.g., images of a funeral hearse, a “Dead End” street sign, and a chalk outline of a human body) led liberals and moderates as well as conservatives to more strongly endorse politically conservative opinions on issues such as taxation, same-sex marriage, and stem cell research, compared with a standard control condition in which participants were primed with images evoking pain (e.g., a dentist’s chair, a bandaged arm, and a bee sting removal). This finding is particularly important because it demonstrates that death reminders increase support for conservative opinions as well as leaders and therefore rules out charismatic leadership as an alternative explanation for the results (see Cohen et al., 2005).”
As a side note relating to your resistance to using evolution references, just this week someone said or wrote about how the “memories of slavery (racism) are buried in the DNA of African-Americans.” I don’t know if they meant that metaphorically or if they were actually trying to make the case for why some blacks behave the way do towards whites, but it was a curious statement either way.
The reason this line of thinking excites and interests me is that I once spent a number of months trying to understand through microbiology and other sciences how we perceive/receive God. Where in the physical body does one receive the voice of God? Came up with some really fascinating ideas in that.
Thanks Abigail. I bookmarked the Anonymous Conservative blog. I will spend some time reading as I do my pursuing. I am currently reading “The Genesis Flood” by Whitcomb and Morris. Book written a while back (1961), but logic used in the arguments against evolution are rock solid even though the “science” has advanced logarithmically.
I too think about how we feel/sense God’s pretense. Since everything has a resonance, maybe God’s love has it’s own special “frequency” that we can “tune in”.
Well, just got home and saw this Paris bombing. Unfortunately not surprising.
Religion and man evolved in parallel with the recognition of his mortality.
