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 2025-113: Investment Opportunity

I’m thinking that there might be a lot of money to be made by offering a line of stylishly designed tin hats.  We all are aware of conspiracy theories.  Most of us are aware that conspiracy theories tend to turn out to be true.  As we look at the increasing number of people who are coming down with cancers and other physical problems that have not been on our radar, often we can see the association with the vaccines that were pushed upon us.  Recently, we heard about a death at my wife’s church.  A woman in her 40's with several children suddenly died of cancer.  It didn’t make any sense.  Then one day, my wife asked me if I remembered that young woman who just died. I said, “Yes.”  She answered with one word, “vaccinated.”

Now that is just one of the conspiracy theories that seems to be panning out to our horror and dismay.  What we tend to overlook are those people who have been wearing the tin hats for years, claiming that vaccines were causing a lot of the problems we were seeing in our young people.  The correlation between autism and vaccines is very strong.  While keeping in mind the fact that correlation does not mean causation, it certainly is an indication to do some research and digging into the data.  Such research, if it is being done, is being covered up.  More conspiracy theories that seem to pan out in the end.

Anyway, I’m wondering if we could start a business and market the hats that the apocryphal conspiracy nuts wore made of tin or aluminum.  I’m not sure what the point of them was, what they were mocking, or what the caused the fear.  I think it had to do with blocking mysterious beams from penetrating your mind and controling your actions by wearing a tin hat.  If we had a good marketing campaign and PR people, we could probably convince the sheep who continue to vote for Democrats that this was the way to be with it and cool.  We could probably find an Italian designer to come up with new ways of folding.  We might decorate with rabbits’ feet or crystals.

There is a fortune waiting to be made, or to paraphrase an old phrase, “There’s gold in them thar tin hats.”
