The privilege of not caring

It’s 4pm in the afternoon, the voter walks towards a public hall scouting out the obstacles before them. Two red soldiers to the left of the entrance, a team of blue knights riding taxpayer funded horses on the right, and in between; a rag-tag team of yellow& orange, a shoeless green and teal warriors await the intimidated voter.

The posture of a nation

In Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life, he breaks down the reason why many get bullied at a young age, surprisingly it’s not because the victim had done anything to deserve it or because the bully found some sense of justice in their belittling.

I was chatting to someone recently about current political matters. Once it was established that I was a Christian, the conversation turned into a debate and I was now supposed to defend the views of Christianity as well as my own.

In Scomo we trust

There’s a common theme that rears its head in Christian discussions as of late, and it’s the polarising belief that the vaccine either is or definitely isn’t the mark of the beast from revelation. I couldn’t comment either way on this thought but rather I can now see how this would open a heavy door for such a time in history to be realised.
