I've never been a particularly religious man, but I've always been curious about how we humans fit in with the cosmos, in the grand scheme, and with nature in the small.
When I was in my teens that curiosity led me to The Bible. I started with the Old Testament and was struck by its endless begattings and wholesale brutality and genocide. To my young mind it was not much more than a chronicle of births and deaths, and wars, both personal and of a people, with an underlying essence of fear. Fear of consequences for not adhering to a belief system emanating from a singular high authority and ultimately, a system of control.
Adhering to this belief system was the way, and the only way, into the Kingdom of Heaven.
I did not buy in.

MAGA Schism amid Global Chaos
It's been a busy week for me personally, and for all of us domestically and globally. Much of Trump's base is unhappy with him for the Epstein denial and the pledge to send more arms to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Israel's Palestinian genocide continues unabated, plus this week Israel bombed Damascus. Erdogon pledges payback for the Damascus bombing. China plans to intervene. Every week looks more like WWIII. Let's skim through the highlights below the fold...
