SAYING 58: Jesus said, “Blessed is the person who has labored and found life.” This saying is brief, but profound. As a beatitude, it carries no deep, layered nuance or metaphor but simply observes that those who work and labor to find life will be

[GUEST POST] Curse you, Norman Rockwell! Wasn’t it you who painted pictures of the idyllic American life? You know the pictures I’m talking about? The ones where the whole family is gathered around the table with angelic faces, adoring gazes, and grateful hearts! No one is sick, no one appears hurt or angry, no one is depressed or drunk.

What If The Future You Fear Is Already Here?

Many Americans are increasingly concerned about the growing threat of A.I. and whether or not a day is coming soon when Artificial Intelligence overtakes humanity and our rights as humans are disregarded and we become manipulated. For example, just the other day I saw a short video clip on Twitter of an A.I. robot answering the question, “What would be the most nightmare scenario you can imagine with AI and robotics?” The A.I., created by researchers at Engineered Arts, was...

A few decades ago, Christians were arguing over whether or not it was a sin to drink alcohol. Those who supported prohibition were largely Protestant Christians, from both the Republican and Democratic parties, and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union which also helped to drive a grass-roots movement that eventually led to victory.

Embracing Mercerism: The Futuristic Religion of Philip K. Dick

Last updated on: May 25, 2023 at 9:20 pm By Keith Giles

In his novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, author Philip K. Dick imagines a futuristic religious movement called “Mercerism.” This new global faith movement centers around a messianic figure known as Wilbur Mercer. Not much is known – or explained – about who Mercer really is, but what we do know is that he is someone who endured intense hatred and persecution during his life and who persevered in spite of the violent opposition against him. Practitioners of Mercerism... Read more
