In the October 2013 edition of “Perspectives On History”, a National Park Service historian is profiled in the “What I Do: Historians Talk About Their Work” segment. Part of her duties included interviewing longtime employees about their service and careers. What guarantee do these bureaucratic functionaries have that the information gathered about them won't be used to manipulate them out of their retirements?
It is claimed that retirement is not a Biblical concept. Neither is really anything other than grueling physical labor mentioned in the pages of Scripture either. However, those insisting the elderly remain in the workforce until they literally drop have hardly soiled their hands in this fashion a day in their life.
Just Because Early Christian Martyrs Had No Time For Sex Doesn't Mean We Can't
It has been observed that there were no Christian martyrs killed for believing Christianity will give you a more satisfying sex life.
While that may be historically accurate, it does not follow that the sum total of the Christian's interest need to be circumscribed by the concerns of those living during that era of history.
Granted, the last thing the church needs is a pastor making love to his wife on a webcam as was to have been attempted at one particular megachurch a few years back.
However, it is constantly pounded into our heads that either Christ is Lord of all or that He is not Lord at all. Was He not the one that decreed that reproduction and certain emotions to be shared between husband and wife were to be expressed in a manner the parties involved found pleasurable to a certain extent?
It could be argued that the tendency to sweep this aspect of existent behind a closed door as if it is something to be a shamed of even within its proper sanctioned context in favor of a spirituality of disincarnation is one of the psychological pathologies that set the ball rolling to the point where much of the culture is now characterized by an overwhelming debauchery.

Will Meat Share Tobacco's Fate?
The cover article of the autumn 2013 issue of Good Medicine is titled, “Meat Is The New Tobacco: Exporting A Dangerous Habit”.
The point of the article is that, with declining meat consumption, producers are exporting to markets overseas.
The assumption is that Americans are preferring more plant-based meal options.
But is that because of personal preference or because fewer can afford it?
Because who in their right mind after a long day at work looks forward to vegetables at dinner; carbs, maybe in terms of pasta or desert, but not vegetables.
But the more important question to ask is the following.
If medical establishment propaganda is casting meat in the negative light once reserved for tobacco, how long until rules, laws and polices once applied to tobacco will be applied to meat?
For example, will it one day be illegal to eat meat in front of children in a confined space where they will be exposed to the aroma as it is now illegal in some states to smoke while children are in an automobile?
Will supervisors be allowed to deny employment to job applicants to that consume meat?
Will commercials for meat products and the purveyors of such delights one day be banned from the nation's airwaves?

Under the kinds of medical insurance reforms advocated by fanatic leftists, “gender reassignment” would be covered. However, prostate cancer likely wouldn't since it is usually a condition that afflicts the elderly. So since many prostate therapies and procedures rob the individual of the joys of possessing a masculine organ beyond the passage through which liquid waste exits the body, perhaps those suffering this disease should just go ahead and get a sex change operation. And when it's all over with, such individuals can also be lavished with the benefits, approval, and applause now being lavished upon same sex couples these days.
Under the Obama regime, jackboots have removed an elderly couple living in a privately owned home located on public land. With nowhere else to go, the couple has sought shelter in their ice cream shop.

Just as “The Avengers” really isn't the greatest superhero film of all time despite the press accounts claiming as such, neither is Agents Of SHIELD the best show of the fall season. While entertaining, the plot twists of The Blacklist are much more exciting and intriguing. Couldn't the show's wardrobe department have put a little more effort into designing a traditional SHIELD uniform instead of having everyone with the exception of the Asian chick running around in their street cloths? Most fans already know that the series takes place in the same universe as many of the Marvel blockbuster films. So perhaps producers should stop the name dropping in what seems to be nearly every scene of characters that will likely never appear on the program. The strained effort is even more annoying than the deliberate closeups on the Sherlock Holmes drama of characters using Microsoft Windows 8 software.
On The Fox Report with Bret Baier, isn't it a bit of overkill to feature George Will and Charles Krauthammar on the same panel since both of these pundits essentially represent a nearly identical variety of establishmentarian conservatism?

The announcement of his appearance prompted me to forget all about my 6:30 PM viewing preference.
Certain theologians are arguing that federal employees and retirees unsettled by their financial prospects during the government shutdown are serving government rather than God. So if someone working in the private sector expressed similar concerns, would they be condemned for serving Mammon?

Furthermore, from what sector of the economy does the tribute flowing into ecclesiastical hands originate anyway?

If the Obama regime is asserting control over monuments and memorials that the federal government barely gave second thought over before when times were relatively good, just think what these would be totalitarians will attempt to seize when things really do start to fall apart. Today, it's construction cones blocking access.

During the government shutdown, it was reported that the technicians of the National Hurricane will continue to monitor atmospheric conditions. However, the agency's public affairs specialists were categorized as non-essential and were not responding to inquiries. Obama is probably in the White House conducting ritualistic libations to whatever demonic entity he is in league with hoping to conjure a storm to wipe out the United States while forbidding meteorologists in the federal employ from warning the American people.
Under Obamacare, if most forms of insurance cover 100% for breast exams for women, why is only between 70-80% covered for prostate tests? Is a man that dies from prostate cancer less dead than a woman that dies from breast cancer? And what of the small number of men that develop breast cancer? Will their costs to combat this disease be covered to the same percentage or are their penises too large?
In coverage of a ship of African migrants damaged off the coast of Italy, it was pointed out that one of the fatalities was pregnant.

It is claimed that the Constitution forces elected officials to be paid their salaries during the government shutdown.

On the 10/1/13 episode of Crossfire, Senator Debbie Stabenow claimed that on the first day of Obamacare availability five times as many attempted to access the program's website than any day on the Medicare website.

Is Rick Santorum A Crypto-Luddite?
Rick Santorum appeared on EWTN's “Women Of Grace” program to shill for a movie titled “The Christmas Candle” being distributed by the production company of which the former Senator and presidential candidate is CEO.
Santorum shared that the electric light central to the storyline symbolizes man's over-reliance on technology and lack of reliance on God.
But without the electric light, isn't it doubtful that the cinematic tools would have been developed whereby the artists working under Santorum would be able to share this narrative vision with a wider audience?
More importantly, weren't the candles he lionizes as a beatifically superior conveyance of illumination at one time the cutting edge of technology?
As such, would the holier thing to do have been to simply sit in the dark waiting for the sun to rise the next morning in compliance with God's timetable rather than man's?

Theocrats Equate Enunciating Meteorological Preferences With Blaspheming God
It has been threatened that to complain about the weather is to murmur against God.
So where does degree of nitpicking end?
Taking this idea to its logical conclusion, is it murmuring against God to express dislike for a certain food that He has created?
It is an accepted postulate of Christian historiography that empires and potentates cannot rise without God allowing them to in the sense of at least not doing anything to block the ascension of these onto the world stage.
Thus, is one spitting in the face of the Almighty each time one expresses dissatisfaction with an elected or government official?
Often, those holding to this strict of a view regarding the sovereignty of God also believe in the idea of theocracy or theonomy where the Bible does not merely serve as a source inspiring the moral principles enacted into law but rather in its totality serves in its totality as the non-negotiable legal code.
So in such an idealized regime, would those verbalizing otherwise innocuous preferences about the prevailing atmospheric conditions be arrested for further interrogation?
If believers are to be so pent up and stifled that they can't even mention how they really feel about the weather, they are going to end up with stress ulcers and mental depression.
But I guess the upshot of that is that the clergy will be provided with additional fodder to heap condemnation up the congregation for the purposes of sewing the seeds for further spiritual manipulation.
If this is how and to the extent to which a pastor should control a church, the minister should not be dumbfounded when hardly sticks around the parish for very long.

In a homily, Pope Francis has suggested that God be sought through Mary. While she is of impeccable moral character for an individual stained by sin needing a Savior like the remainder of humanity, if you really want to have an encounter with God beyond the literary or historical, you are going to have to go through His only begotten son. As in the case with her Son, the Virgin Mary is no doubt embarrassed at times by what some of her well intended by errant followers have to say about her.
Pope Francis wishes good will and peace to the people of Egypt. Wonder if he will direct the same kind sentiments to Protestants which, unless he's going to cave in regards to this issue as he seems on the verge of doing in regard to so many others, he doesn't even view as real Christians as part of a real church.
If a child can be punished by a school over a recreational activity the student participates in during the student's own time on the parents' property, what is to prevent educational authorities from punishing students that attend a house of worship violating the school's diversity and inclusion policy?
A fanatic homeschooler threw a tizzy about a growing trend of people being buried alongside their pets. So long as the animal's life is not prematurely ended, does it really matter? It is claimed that this practice undermines the preeminence of human relationships. So I guess you are also a heathen now of your family doesn't feed those assembled to gawk at your corpse that wouldn't pass gas in your face when you were alive.
Those calling for more of an emphasis on the Old Testament, in all likelihood, won't be satisfied with increased doses of Psalms, Proverbs, or the Messianic prophecies. In a manner similar to the way these same theologians enunciate the lamentation that no Christian candidates are running in a particular election as code that no candidate embraces their particular brand of theocratic extremism, this call is for a renewed emphasis on the Old Testament is actually a longing to see many of the obscure laws and customs intended specifically for ancient Israel to be imposed upon the world of the early mid twenty-first century.

On What Grounds Do Recreational Hunters Condemn Video Game Players
It has been revealed that Navy Yard Mass Murderer Aaron Alexis was a 34 year old video game player that spent up to 16 hours at a time engaged with the electronic amusements.
It is for this rather than for killing 12 people that he deserves to rot in Hell from the impression one gets from a remark made by a midlist conservative commentator and podcaster.
But on what grounds does someone that goes out of his way to point out to the public how much that he enjoys hunting criticize someone that enjoys video games?
It is one thing to hunt to provide food for one's family or to keep in check a species that would otherwise proliferate out of control due to a lack of natural predators.
However, is it really a measure of one's masculinity to travel across oceans and continents half-way around the world to blow the head of an animal that one clearly doesn't need for sustenance?
In fact, doing so might cause one to speculate just how deficient in certain areas those having to display themselves in such manners might just happen to be.
For nothing shouts manhood like participating in an activity just because it is an expectation of one's peer group.

President Obama remarked that the attack on the Navy Yard should be construed as another mass shooting. So does this mean that now it seems that military and former military personnel are carrying out these events, does this mean that military and law enforcement should be denied access to firearms in a manner similar to the way these elites conspire to disarm the American civilian population?
In regards to the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, President Obama assured that the service of the victims to the nation will be honored. Yet no doubt everything will be done by this President’s administration to deny these individuals benefits due those having been injured in combat or by acts of terrorism
Obama To Collect Files On Americans' Sex Lives
For decades, Americans have been conditioned to believe that what someone does in the privacy of the bedroom is no one else’s business.
Legislators and bureaucrats have now reversed themselves, deciding that these private matters should now become part of the public record.
The Obamacare reforms will compel doctors to collect dossiers detailing the sex lives of their respective patients. Unless one is seeking medical attention over puss oozing from one’s privates, these sordid details of one’s life should not be pried into by the medical establishment.
And what of those that insist that they lead chaste and celibate lives?

Must One Believe In Hell To Avoid Going There?
A gaggle of social media theologians
went at it on Facebook as to whether or not a minimalist sort of
Christian could profess a belief in Jesus but deny the existence of
Hell as a literal place of torment.
Granted, such a doctrinal combination
is a less than Biblically comprehensive and optimal one. Eternal
damnation is one of the most attested to of topics throughout the
Holy Bible.
If an individual professes such a
dogmatic formulation in an evangelization encounter, the soul of the
recipient of this deficient rendition of the Gospel could be
endangered.
One might conclude that simply passing
out of existence at the end of one's life wouldn't be too bad, simply
akin to falling asleep, and better than having to embrace the
limitations of Christianity in this life in order to prepare for the
next.
Yet it might be a step too far to
categorically declare that belief in Jesus but not in Hell is not
sufficient for one to slide through the Pearlie Gates.
It says in I Corinthians 15:1-4, “Now,
brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel...By this gospel you are
saved...For what I received I passed on to you of first importance:
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he
was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the
Scriptures (NIV).”
One would hope that those sincerely
seeking redemption through Christ's completed work would come to
accept the whole counsel of God.
However, if even those pleading
sufficiency under Christ's shed blood will still be kept out of God's
Celestial City as a result of those areas in which they still fall
short of the glory of God, not a single one of us will have a
snowball's chance in the disputed region of the Afterlife of walking
those famed golden streets said to be guarded by United States
Marines.

Fanatic Homeschooler Equates Longterm Nursing Care With Euthanasia
According to fanatic homeschooler Kevin Swanson in his 9/3/13 Generations Radio podcast, those that place elderly family members needing assistance in nursing homes are, at least in spirit, complicit in euthanasia.
Instead, the truly pious individual takes care of such family members in their own home.
Those advocating this variety of stridency would then turn around and pitch a fit at those that would then not be able to afford to send their children to private school or be able to dedicate enough time to the pedagogy of the offspring with most of the attention going to address the increasingly complex health issues faced by the particular parent slipping into dementia or disability.
Secondly, if women are to be denied higher education as the Swansonites have suggested from time to time, how are these wives suppose to acquire this variety of expertise?
Thirdly, if the infirm needing around the clock nursing attention are suppose to be cared for in the homes of their children, what is to happen when the health of these frontline caretakers (who do not necessarily derive the same kind of endorphin high certain medical professionals seem to experience in these sorts of situations) find their own health compromised to the extent that they can neither oversee the wellbeing of their offspring nor their aging parents?

Best To Avoid Syria Entanglement
The gassing of Syrians by their fellow countrymen will rank among the great atrocities of the 21st century.
However, beyond a stern verbal condemnation, is it all that wise for the United States to get involved at this point?
Do we really know for certain who is the responsible party?
This conflict is not Star Wars or Lord of The Rings with clearly discernible protagonists and adversaries.
Either side could be capable of doing such a thing.
On the one hand, you have a brutal dictatorship. On the other side, the so-called “freedom fighters” have been accused of cannibalism and granting of a religious dispensation allowing for the raping of women caught up in the conflict.
Most importantly, if the Obama Administration decides to get involved militarily, does the President have the resolve to do what must be done?
For example, what if a campaign to eliminate Syrian weapons of mass destruction is conducted half-heartedly in the manner in which the President undertakes so many of his policy initiatives and America returns home before the task is completed?
Since whoever is responsible has no qualms about about killing their own people systematically and in the most horrible manners imaginable, what would prevent them from doing so to the people of the United States?
The border is pretty much a siv and, if Assad is indeed responsible as Obama is insisting to the civilized world, the President has already announced his intentions to allow that particular Middle Eastern tyrant to remain in power where the ensconced despot can plot revenge at leisure.

Spurgeon remarked that those content to be a newspaper editor, a grocer, a doctor or a king rather than become a minister did not possess the fullness of the spirit of God. But doesn't God need solid Christians in these trades and professions as well? Isn't one edging away from the oasis of sound doctrine towards the wastelands of gnosticism by downplaying the needs each of these divisions of labor specialize in addressing? The preacher is going to do you little good if you don't have the physical strength to listen to his message (these needs being met by the grocer and the doctor) and you aren't going to know whether or not it's safe to go to church without the magistrate to keep the bandits at bay and the media to expose when the government has itself become the bandit.
Martin Luther King. Jr. was not the flawless individual he is made out to be by certain segments of the American population. A number of his associations, life choices, and professed beliefs were at times highly questionable. However, to graft together the countenances of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Trayvon Martin into a single image plastered on a t-shirt as if they are of equal stature is a step too far. In his brief 39 years, Martin Luther King earned a Bachelor of Art in Sociology, a Bachelor of Divinity, and a PhD in Systematic Theology while also pastoring a church and composing numerous rhetorical works. Though academic achievement is not necessarily a determining measure of individual character, Trayvon Martin wasn’t even able to keep his nose clean enough to prevent from being kicked out of high school.

So the duo must have decided to bestow the gift and blessing of an unsolicited mercy killing.
Southern Baptist Seminarian Overreacts To The Rise Of Alternative Information Delivery Systems
Concern was expressed by Albert Mohler on his 8/8/13 podcast regarding the increasing amount of time the average person is spending in front of an electronic screen consuming content such as digital media.
Given that Mohler's program is primarily available through this particular medium, it is ironic that he would raise this complaint.
Should the discerning Christian cut back on this renowned seminarian's program if it is not so much quality of the screen time we are to be concerned with rather than quality?
As part of his argument, Mohler quotes from theologian Jacques Ellul who argued that, once a technology enters our lives, it begins to take them over.
Would Dr. Mohler have made such a complaint about the printing press and the revolution in information made available by the proliferation of economically approved.
Back then, it was also argued that works disseminated in that fashion would undermine authorities and put knowledge in the hands of those not deemed qualified to handle it.
But most importantly, without the printed word, would the Protestantism (of which Albert Mohler is one of the movement's most prominent contemporary spokesmen and thinkers) have blossomed into a viable expression of the Christian tradition?

National Cathedral Dean An Atheist
The Dean of the National Cathedral in Washington, DC claims to be a “non-theistic Christian” according to a Washington Post profile.
As justification, the clergyman claims Jesus referenced his father but that this does not necessarily mean God.
Then who exactly is the father of Jesus?
Was it the blond-haired, blue-eyed Germanic Roman solider stationed in Palestine as conjectured by one of the translators of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible?
Is the baby-daddy of the Christ Child one of the saucer men as hypothesized by the Chariot of The Gods theory?
The Bible doesn't speak much in favor of gay marriage and says even less about gun control.
However, that certainly hasn't prevented Dean Hall from often commenting enthusiastically on behalf of these causes trendy among leftists.
One of the most profound questions anyone will ever answer was originally raised by Jesus and directed towards His Disciples when He asked who did they say that He was.
If one responds with anything but the Son of God and second person of the Trinity yet has made Christian ministry one's occupational vocation, the only purpose for having done so is to drag as many as possible along with you into the pits of Hell.

Undressing Assumptions In A Church Clothing Debate
When theologians and the like remark how society has become more casual, it might be helpful if they explained what is exactly meant by that, to what extent they oppose the development, and how this trend is supposedly harming the individual.
For example, it is probably best for those holding elected, ecclesiastical, or professional office to adorn themselves worthy of the part as they execute their duties.
However, it does not follow that the remainder of us should be similarly miserable if we are not enjoying the same degree of prestige, payment or opportunity.
Relatedly, sometimes those latching onto this complaint insist one can no longer distinguish between men and women in contemporary America.
Yet other than assorted gays, certain men with long hair, and women with eating disorders in serious need of treatment, it is not that difficult to tell the difference between a man and woman in a pair of jeans or slacks.
If solving that mystery stumps you, perhaps one ought to spend a little less time in scholastic isolation and instead study the intricacies of the human form.
In a Facebook exchange regarding this issue of attire in the church, for suggesting that there is nothing wrong with the average attender adorning themselves a bit more casually while it is probably better for the clergy to dress a bit more solemnly, it was hinted at that I was undermining my usual position of vocational equality.
But foremostly, the validity of that allegation depends on what is meant by equality.
The pastor is to lead the order of service within the church.
That's why one does not shout out how full of it many of them are in the middle of the service.
However, the pastor is not in charge of my home or what goes on in my head.
That is why in my vocation as a critic under the First Amendment why I am able to convey my findings and conclusions to a broader audience through social media upon my return home.
It was also observed that most dress better for work or a restaurant than they do for church.
However, those particular places have established rules regarding what one must wear if one does not want one’s access to such places restricted or rescinded.
Unless one is on its administrative staff, such regulations do not normally exist for a house of worship.
Do we want to start barring those not deemed “good enough” in terms of outer formality from entering the house of God?
These days, so long as the “strategic areas” of the anatomy are concealed, shouldn’t we just be glad someone shows up at all in light of all the other options competing for someone’s time and attention?
