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 2021-336: Immortal Quotes: Idiots

I keep coming across a statement that has at least two forms.  On is “What kind of idiots do they think we are?”  The second is in the same family, “Do they think we are that stupid?”

The answer to the first is, “compliant idiots.”  Maybe a better adjective would be “complete.”  You may not have noticed but people are still watching the elite networks, NFL and You Tube.  They are still tweeting and shopping on Amazon and at Walmart.  Coke still gets bought by white people.  Those points should answer the question.  They know their audience.  Americans who go to work every day could stop their nonsense in a few days if they would just change their behavior.

The answer to the second is, “Yes.”

As an example, when I went to surfing again I came across this headline on Gateway Pundit,

“81 Million Votes: Devastating Poll Shows Just 22% of Americans Want Joe Biden to Run Again”
I didn’t need to read the article to realize the basic problem is not the one proclaimed in the article.  They were gloating about how low Biden’s approval ratings are.  I am shocked at the speculation that there are still 22% of Americans who would vote for him again.  What does it take to make people aware.  It is like Americans are in a bar telling the bartender, “Hit me again.”

It isn’t a matter of do they think we are that stupid.  It is more an observation they make rather than a question.

I urge everyone to change their behavior, one at a time, and make them have a new epiphany.  They will be right until we change.

  1. My Amazon Prime membership came up for renewal 3 days ago....I did not renew it. I just felt like "ENOUGH"! I am shopping in my local shops in my small town as much as possible now. Amazon shopping has made me lazy...ENOUGH! I still have to shop our Walmart at least monthly since that's our only place to get fresh fruits and vegies. Our one grocery store closed 2 yrs. ago...we have a wonderful meat store that also sells our Prairie Farms dairy items and some few deli foods. We make do.

    1. I salute you. It isn't easy but for the most part it can be done. I wish I could convince all my family members to do the same.

      Grace and peace
