A Thought Pattern on Fear and War / Within and in Ukraine

Last updated on: March 5, 2022 at 11:32 pm By Jeff Hood

A Thought Pattern on Fear and War / Within and in Ukraine In the midst of all that is troubling our souls within and in Ukraine, I decided to construct a thought pattern…which if followed is capable of creating peace. The root of war is always fear. We fear what we don’t know. So we don’t speak. We fear what we don’t understand. So we don’t think. We fear being wrong. So we don’t come to conclusions. ...

On the Theological Ethics of Assassinating Vladimir Putin

Last updated on: February 24, 2022 at 12:01 am By Jeff Hood

On the Theological Ethics of Assassinating Vladimir Putin Earlier tonight, Russian President Vladimir Putin started an unprovoked war with Ukraine. Missiles started raining down on Kyiv and other parts of the country just seconds ago. For months, Putin has held the world in suspense as he has slowly amassed Russian troops at the Ukrainian border. In the coming days, Europe will experience its’ largest military conflict since World War II. The only explanation is that Putin wants... Read more

PCUSA is/White Christians are Trying to Kill My Iraqi Muslim Friend, Sahar Alsahlani…(bizarrely, in the name of combating white supremacy)

Last updated on: February 17, 2022 at 11:53 pm By Jeff Hood

*As the title might indicate…this bizarre story is some do-gooding white Christians who have do-gooded themselves right back to the racist place that they started from. Before I get into any of the bullshit, let me tell you about my friend, Sahar Alsahlani. An immigrant from Iraq, Sahar raised four children on her own while working as a television producer in Los Angeles. Later, she moved to New York and got involved with numerous interfaith spaces. I met her while... Read more

Gov. Hutchinson’s Bible Must Be Defective: On the Morality of New Prison Cells in Arkansas

Last updated on: February 11, 2022 at 7:58 pm By Jeff Hood

Gov. Hutchinson’s Bible Must Be Defective: On the Morality of New Prison Cells in Arkansas “By this the world will know that you are my disciples, if you build more prison cells…” That has got to be how John 13:35 reads in Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson’s Bible. That’s the only way I can think of that he could claim to be a follower of Jesus and ask our legislature for upwards of a hundred million dollars for... Read more

Dwight Lee Wolter: The Church’s New Rambo This afternoon, I was scrolling through Facebook and came across an opinion piece on Religion New Service entitled, “Resisting hate, as people of faith, includes readiness for self-defense.” For added measure, the preview picture was of two white guys slinging guns around. Assuming it was more nonsense from a right-wing nutjob, I scrolled by. Then, I realized... Read more

The Police Just Literally Burned a Man to Death

The Police Just Burned a Man to Death For nearly a decade, I have worked with families whose loved ones have been killed in all kinds of situations of police brutality. In video after video….
