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 2018-019: Headlines: Yes, but Is He Crazy?

I was called into the room to watch the president’s doctor report to a group of Tourette victims on the status of Trump’s health.  His summation was straightforward:  The president is healthy.  Then it went to the question and answer period.  Here is where the mental disorder became obvious.  It was almost as if this group, mysteriously called the White House Press Corp, was suffering from a strange form of Tourette’s syndrom.  They seemed like they could not utter a complete sentence without some variation of “crazy” included.  We have several possibilities.

This could be a new form of malady.  It seems to effect only Trump haters.  It does not discriminate between political affiliation, sexual orientation or race.  It does seem to be intensified by the presence of microphones and cameras.

Another possibility is that they are mentally unstable themselves.  This often goes with people on the left, intense projection.  An example would be Hillary Clinton talking about the “vast right wing conspiracy” when the left was the one conspiring.  Or take the talk of Trump in collusion with the Russians when all the evidence points at the Clinton campaign.  Or take the accusation of hate speech on conservative talk radio.

Another is megalomania.  Do these “reporters” really think they are going to trick the doctor into saying, “Yes, actually, he is nuttier than a CNN talking head”.  I did notice that the doctor had a hard time not laughing at them.

As I keep reading others comment, “Bring out the popcorn.”

  2. Biggest shocker was that he could live up to 200 years had he eaten healthier. Good genes.

    1. I am hoping that he can survive the potential assassination attempts that I expect the left to be throwing at him. Good genes don't help much with that.
