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 2017-167: Headlines: The Segregationists Are Back

I am almost ready to visit the grave of MLK and see if the ground is registering any earthquake waves.  I keep seeing headlines about institutions of dubious learning having separate graduations for minority students.  For years I have been hearing about how black students were allowed to have their own dorms and student union buildings.  I have waited for the voices of racial equality and reconciliation to raise their unanimous voices of protest.

Crickets.  In small letters.  With the mute button on.

Has everyone but the white middle class lost their minds?  Do the Black Codes suddenly sound like a good idea again?  Are we now supporting a Revised Black Code?  Are we looking for a new name for Jim Crow?  Maybe the next goal is to establish all white neighborhoods so that our black citizens won’t feel threatened.  It is a strange day when the KKK, Nation of Islam, ACLU and Aryan Nation all agree on a program.

Wake up people.

  2. Considering that I'm very prejudiced against blacks (but not racist or bigoted), segregation suits me fine, if that's what they want. Of course, in this day and age, if we go "separate but equal," we KNOW that it will be whitey who gets the dirty restrooms and the warm water fountains. - lol

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
