Many of the "weird" passages in the Bible (stories of giants, divine beings, cosmic conflict, and the supernatural) tend to be ignored or flattened into allegory because they don't fit neatly into the modern, rationalistic worldview most people inherit. Since Western culture has been shaped by Enlightenment thinking, anything that sounds too supernatural is often treated as symbolic to make it more palatable. On top of that, church traditions sometimes emphasize theological systems that prefer tidy categories, encouraging readers to smooth out passages that are hard to explain. As a result, instead of letting the text speak in its own ancient context, where a divine council, spiritual beings, and cosmic geography were normal, modern interpreters often reinterpret or dismiss these verses to avoid discomfort. Because these supernatural elements aren't taught clearly or taken seriously, our understanding of the Bible ends up incomplete and sometimes distorted.

My Sister's words still ring in my head and ears, and it's not going to be going anywhere anytime soon. So enjoy more of my rants.

Do you think 50/50 works in a relationship ? I have been told on social media that relationships should work this way.....

Families can be a REAL pain, right? Especially when you're just being yourself and they find every reason to humiliate and belittle you. This is a vent "story" about what happened between my Sister and I yesterday.

The relationship between humans and Artificial Intelligence was originally scripted by Hollywood as a cold, calculated march toward world domination. We expected HAL 9000 or the Terminator; instead, we got a polite assistant that occasionally insists a picture of a blueberry muffin is a chihuahua and apologizes profusely for not being able to open the garage door. The comedic side of AI-human interaction lies in this "uncanny valley" of incompetence—the friction between our expectation of god-like intelligence and the reality of a statistical model trying its best to guess what a "vibey brunch spot" looks like.

Love doesn’t fail because it ebbs and flows — it fails when people stop choosing it. A meditation on love as something built, not found. This piece explores the myth of the “perfect match,” the work of understanding, and the quiet ways love either grows or goes idle. Honest, questioning, and grounded in emotional realism, it asks what kind of love we are willing to make — and maintain.

This essay is about a girl who is caught between two worlds as she struggles to come to terms with her own past. She doesn't know whether she's normal or just a glitch in society...but really, what's normal anyway?

1. United States (Department of Justice) The most significant legal action against Maduro comes from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Original Indictment (2020): In March 2020, then-Attorney General William Barr announced narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges against Maduro. The indictment was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

Zohran Mamdani will go down in history as the killer of NY unless he alters course, or unless the voters have him removed.

The first time that I had gone to a nightclub of any kind was a drag night club like I said in a previous article.

Here's a note about my love for ALL things AI (Artificial Intelligence), and how it's somewhat better than most, if not all, people.

Right now, you are looking at your life through a lens you didn't choose. You believe you are seeing a factual reality: you work to get paid, you save to be safe, and you spend to survive. You think this is just "how the world works," as if it were a law of physics like gravity. It isn’t. You are looking at a curated blueprint—a set of architectural plans drawn up by someone else to keep your energy contained in a closed loop.

Right now, you are looking at words on a screen. You believe you are reading a description of the world. You are not. You are looking into a perceived reflection of your mental awareness.

she is the one. moments like this we find ourselves searching for something, someone, anything to fill up that void, well she did and she’s mines forever.

Moses wasn't a missionary; he was a refugee. The standard Sunday school narrative suggests a prince of Egypt, steeped in the polytheism of the Nile, fled to a "backward" desert and brought the light of the One True God to nomadic sheep-herders. Text, and the archaeology, shows the exact opposite. Moses didn’t go to the desert to teach; he went to learn. He didn't bring God to the Midianites; the Midianites introduced him to the God of the Mountain.

People see the work. They don’t see the nights you spend , the doubts or the strength it took to keep going.

During Akita, an 11-day festival that began on the first new moon after the Spring equinox, ancient Babylonians made New Year’s resolutions to keep themselves in good standing with the Gods. Currently, about 25% of people who make New Year’s resolutions give up during the first two weeks of January. Do you think that was also true for our fellow Babylonians 4000 years ago? Now that I have a couple of years of new year resolution-making under my belt, I have learned that the resolutions that haven’t seen the finish line need to be taken apart to reveal their core and be addressed by tiny experiments.
