poliphilo I gave up on the mainstream media a while back. Now I pick through the podcasts looking for one that isn't opinionated and parti pris. Maybe it's asking too much of human nature to exercise Olympian oversight.
But then again you can have engagement and you can have detachment- but it's a tall order to expect to find them together.
I think of Jesus being approached to give an opinion on paying taxes to Caesar and how his response was both witty and dismissive. "None of my business," was more or less what he was saying.
Constantine at the Milvian Bridge taking the cross as his insignia- that's when things started to go really wrong.
Because God isn't on anybody's side. God is on every side at once.....
And while we're talking about religion I'm still mulling over a clip I watched of Russell Brand and Tucker Carlson going on about much they love the Lord Jesus. I'm not questioning either man's sincerity- just wondering about the implications.....
