See this index. A few months ago in “Habitually Being Wrong” I noted that many men often make a habit of saying objectively false statements that could have been invalidated by a simple Google search. He argued that only men—and not women—were made in the image of God. He wrote: …
One of the problems with the patriarchal manosphere is that it often cannot handle figures of speech. This is similar to how Roman Catholics can’t understand how Jesus could have been speaking metaphorically regarding the bread and wine and his flesh and blood. There is a certain kind of person …
I sometimes read James Attebury’s blog. I find his ideas very interesting. However, since he heavily curates/censors comments to his blog, it’s difficult to engage with his work in a meaningful way.

Looks like there is a new policy. Would have been nice if that had been the policy when I was there, eh? In other news, I’ve run out of posts (for now) and will be posting less frequently until I catch up.
So, Dear Reader, can you explain what is wrong with this claim regarding the Assyrian Captivity (from 732BC) and the Second Temple Period (586BC to 70AD)? The answer is found in the prophesies contained in the Hebrew scriptures. The story of the fall of the Hebrews can be summarized with …
