Feminist theology and the Turn towards publishing in feminism and capitalism
Last night I starting thinking about Revelation 16:15, and how it melded with the Tanakh, and, perhaps, the teaching of the time of Elijah before the period of judgement. I remember once reading a very compelling study that laid out extremely detailed “evidence” that Revelation was a Jewish text that was refashioned and rewritten to …

The test we are under, the remnants of the subconscious signature, and self-defense
The test is not to have our hearts and minds, our conscience, corrupted by an antagonizing government. Just as when we were children and taught to respect other people’s boundaries, those truisms still exist. God answered why She/He could not intervene. It would not be just. Even on the side of justice. God is too …

The importance of a singular leader (cross posting)
This is not a popular opinion, but I have come to believe that social movements do not ultimately bring systematic change. Not be a contrarian, but I think it takes the right individual that sparks the final measure that brings about real, fundamental change. Let me give some examples. Martin Luther King, Jr. I know …

Note: Capitalist Evangelism
Those traditionally oppressed by capitalism just want to navigate to a system where they can be capitalists themselves. It is evangelism in it sharpest form. Segments of the population seem to only want their traditional oppression to be (re)membered, (re)called, and (re)empathized in order to become the oppressor themselves. There is no longing for a …
Reposting short note: Critical Thinking as Liberation Tool, Not Capitalist Maneuvering
From what I have been reading the last few months, here and there, capitalists are trying to modify critical thinking as a “soft skill” to navigate the global economy. Not to prioritize critical thinking as a primary skill to see through capitalism and understand the world as it really is. They will probably win in …

A Vision for a Culture of Emancipatory Human Rights
Ken Booth’s essay, “Three Tyrannies,” from the text, Human Rights in Global Politics (eds. Tim Dunne and Nicholas J. Wheeler), posits a highly instructive foundation stone, a guide map, for societal change that considers our differences, argumentative positions, and then reifies human worth through a simple matter of direct application, though in reality, confrontation to …

Levinas and the Other
Emmanuel Levinas, in his book, Humanism of the Other (1972), states, in now outdated masculine-universal pronouns,“To suffer by the other is to take care of him, be in his place, consume oneself by him” (2006, 64). What Levinas teaches us that we are to become the other. In an ontological sense we are to place …
