Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2013-89: Headlines: A New Meaning for the Term “Death Tax”

I was on Drudge and noticed a headline that declared a California lawmaker wants a tax on the internet to help pay for the postal system.  I didn’t bother reading the article.  I don’t need to.  This is socialism at its best.  In order to limit freedom we tax something which has been able to deliver a product at no cost in order to subsidize a service that can’t make itself work. 

This is the mark of the Perfect Progressive (Super Socialist, Dedicated Democrat, Committed Communist).  You strangle someone who is successful in order to pay for your pet project.  In the process you kill the goose and hope that no one notices that your eggs are now brass.

Will they never learn?  Dumb question.

  1. Yes, I suppose it IS a dumb question. After all, liberals do the equivalent of putting their fingers in their ears, jumping up and down and screaming "I can't hear you!"

    1. Just like teenagers except some of the teenagers grow out of it. The rest grow up to be liberals.

      Grace and peace.
