On July 7, 2024, Catacomb Resident said: On July 13, 2024 a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. A couple days later Ed Hurst posted this (emphasis added): Meanwhile, one of my favorite bloggers wrote this: I wrote about my thoughts back in April of 2023 in “Fighting Evil or …

I only occasionally write about my personal interests, and even when I do it is usually made applicable to something more profound (or pretentiously profound). But since I have nothing else to write about while the blog is on auto-pilot, I thought I’d talk about this. Recently, over a course of …

This is the follow up to “A Decree to Rebuild.” In case it wasn’t clear enough at the time, I found Ed Hurst’s viewpoint to be quite interesting. I disagreed on parts of it, but was surprised to find that I largely agreed with his eschatological conclusions. My response was …
