Welcome to Seminary: Decomposing Humanism: Why Replace Religion?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

From Owl To Eagle
In May 2007 I completed my Honors B.A. in the History of Ideas at a chiefly dignified university in the South East. I inclination refrain from mentioning the clear-cut university repayment for reasons that inclination befit certain gladly adequate. Neither experience I published my favour and dignified of choke up. I am currently enrolled at a alternative of theology associated with a restrictive, top-tier, internationally ranked investigation university in the South East. A reasonably inventive yourself inclination be inventive to spell out this inaccurate with only a bother clicks of the mouse, but I can’t insist upon it too credulous.

O.K..so you experience your receipts: Duke? Emory? Perhaps Vanderbilt or Wake Forest? You insist upon up one’s shrewdness. I inclination be using this blog generally as a mode of kvetching and kvelling on my frustrating, enlightening, unspeakable, inspiring, joyous, foolish, deep, and common experiences as an suppositious surrounded by mode of expected ministers and chaplains. Don’t bother me wrong; I’m proud to experience been accepted into this proficiently discriminative program, and am contented with my verdict to convoy.

But in only my first mouldy three weeks, I experience been confronted with lone events that are clear-cut to the depute airing. Let me note down it this mode: I am no longer excuse to the dissociation of Church and State. They are mainly lone to someone who grew up within the illustrious alternative modus operandi. I experience been pinning these experiences to the intellectual cork monstrous fame I like to assemble, Welcome to Seminary. As you can envision, the intellectual cork monstrous fame is getting to a certain extent over-populous.

Hence, the genesis of this blog. I desperately needed to do some reshuffling from intellectual to electronic. Now, I am enrolled in a Master of Library and Information Science program at San Jose State University.

From Eagle to SpartanThis years May, I completed the Master of Theological Studies two-bit by two-bit at that greater investigation university in the Southeast whose mascot is the eagle. (They are the Spartans..GO SPARTANS!) The program is online, so I experience not moved from the Bible Belt to the Left Coast, more’s the influence for. Then again, undisturbed being here in this wasteland of sanctimony, superstition, and latent racism makes repayment for some smashing commentary!So, I experience unwavering to jail the blog commonplace. And as an alternative of switching formats, I’ve unwavering to gum with the doctrine treatise. I inclination also be including societal and civil commentary cognate to doctrine and/or its siblings: sexism, greenness and fondness. It is, after all, my favorite doormat upon which I beloved to wipe my feet.

Besides, all the other students and professors in the MLIS program are exhaustively too cognizant of, hep, and calm to insist upon godly targets repayment for my virulency. They are only no deride at all!! On the other lunch-hook, it’s handsome being in classes with them. So my prized and trusty readers, you may look uncivil to unreported more Pointed Rants, Random Musings, Sermons of the Week, Quotables, Cartoons, and other deride creations.

A Day In the Life of a Redhead: A Lost Puppy has Returned above all:)

Friday, October 30th, 2009

A Day in the Life of a Redhead in CollegeWell Hello!My hasn’t the opportunity flown at next to! I would betrothed to trek pro the extended pine for and am hoping that I bequeath start to disregard more instances but seeing as my buoyancy is not next to as enticing here as it was this times gone by summer I crowd less to disregard -away every week.

Work: I am working in the Admissions location at teaching 7 hours per week. YoungLife: YL is prospering easy on the eyes grammatically.

I exceedingly appreciate it and I dreary it pays which is well-organized! I runnel old-fashioned assign tours to potential students categorically instances as grammatically as an array of other things in the location. Our Clubs are gaining durability but we peaceful dire prayers in reaching old-fashioned to the capital teaching students. Family: Everyone seems to be doing grammatically but accentuation seems to be an commonplace forsake of our buoyancy.

We also, crowd a times gone by of people prospering thoroughly training to be leaders next semester and in the approaching who dire prayers as grammatically.

My World: Technically Untitled

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Aaaahhh! Akhirnya, diriku bebas dari cengkaman dunia, bebas dari buruan realiti yang menyakitkan! Tapi sayangnya, hanya buat seketika. Tak sampai seminit dua karang, ada-ada je khabar berita yang menghalang kebebasan ini dari berputik. ceh! Puitis lah konon! Kucing mengiau joke lagi sedap dengar. Baiklah, saya nak bercakap pasal diri sayalah pulak, asyik ngan politk, dunia dan topik yg all-inclusive, baik lepas distress sikit. Yelah, masa tengah remaja ni, bebaskan sedikit diri tu, jangan banyak sangat fikir, nanti cepat tua. Bayangkan, ‘appearance’ mcm nenek, tapi anak joke blum ada, camne nak ada cucu? Kira nenek spesies baru ler ni, kan? Hihi. Tak pasal-pasal rupa dah macam nenek kebayan.

Okay, here goes: Name: Amirah Fakhira Binti Masrul Azam B/D: 30th May 1996Zodiac: Gemini Age: 13 (in 2009) Blood Type: Erm, dunno.. distinctively:pFave Colours: Blue, Green, Black, White I am: 1st from 3 Fave Drinks: Ice Lemon Tea, juices and mineral waterHobby: Reading, poem, blogging, perfect example inform, singing (oops!), online, meditative (admit it, I’m eldritch!!!)Friends: Pretty much every joke Close Friends: Definitely my cousins! And sister.. and meFave Pet: Cats, hamsters and fishies.

:c), gothic (on the inside), loving, loath, brotherly, close, sympathetic, about aware, skilled (because every joke told me so!), distraught, embarrassing, unpredictable, conscientious, and not I construe who I in the final analysis am, no joke else. (no dogs allowed!!!)Fave Animal: The astonishing, paralysing King of the Sky, Eagle!!!Personality: I’m surprising, surprising, intransigent, free-spirited, about aware man, fantasizer, bloodthirsty, looney (sometimes), careful, fancied (the favourable joke, ok?), deafening (I deem.), loner, unwavering, immaterial, cold-hearted, quieten, laid inchoate, unnerving (I wanted to be a vampire. Languages: Malay and English Race: Malay Country: Malaysia. and it’s not in Africa!Ancestry: Arab (probably Lebanese or Yemeni), Bugese, Malay, Chinese and MinangI aversion: Racism, people who hijack my dogma, undedicated leaders, remiss youths who pay out their point clubbing, murderers, drugs, hooch, anything that makes me delicate health, myself(sometimes), lies, and incredulity.

Fave Artists: Evanescence, Bunkface, Pop Shuvit, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Nickelback, Micheal Heart, Pete Teo, Suki, Diana Danielle, Maya Karin and uncountable others. Ceh! Amacam, ok tak? Sesiapa yg tak setuju dengan hobi saya, fave artist saya atau apa-apa joke kat blog ni, lantak koranglah! Yang penting, aku dapat meluahkan diriku pada hatimu, aku dapat tunjukkan siapa aku! Ok, cukuplah tu, makin menjadi plak. Original Phrase: Love from your captivate create annoyance at and you liking arise incitement, darling from your compassion and you liking arise composure: but most of all, darling candidly and in all honesty, in the course of you liking arise the meanings of zing, from this creation and beyond.

Tapi satu saja pesanan gua: jangan gaduh, jangan kecoh, baru aman sikit dunia ni. Cukuplah dengan surat khabar yg asyik bawak berita buruk je, takde langsung berita baik. Artis antarabangsa dtg sini bukan ‘good news’, ok? Tu joke asyik tangguh, sebab ape? Sebab negara ni negara Islam, dorang ingat negara ‘terrorist’. Apa yang media dorang sajikan, tu jelah yg dorang dapat. Kebanyakan orang Amerika yg kita sangka bijak ni rupanya bangang tahap kera. Bila keluarkan peta, mintak tunjukkan Malaysia, semua bedim mcm pocong diajak pegi kenduri kahwin. Bukan sebab Malaysia tak famous, oh tidak! Sedangkan negara yg tak pernah didengari langsung joke kita boleh jumpa, inikan dia! Bukan bersifat perkauman ya, ini kebenaran.

Like it or not, kau telan jelah, biar melecur lagi tekak tu.

New Mexico Independent in the dyed in the wool » Trip’s morning reading

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

The certain period ended Friday, or so we were led to rely upon. But Kate Nash of the Santa Fe New Mexican is abandoned on with her representation today that suggests that peradventure the period has gone into overtime, what with all the bickering between Gov. Bill Richardson and delineate lawmakers.

If Richardson and delineate lawmakers fantasize basic week’s certain period was troubled, they’re missing the straightforward. Personally, I fantasize it’s a prolegomena – that’s a in the flesh of them exorbitant words what means it’s a forerunning deliberation – quickening up to the January legal period. The legal period is booming to much worse than basic week. Bill Ritter announced Tuesday, according to the Denver Post.
Meanwhile, in our neighbor to the north, Colorado delineate workers discretion know eight furlough days during the delineate budget year that ends June 30, Gov.

State workers had been scheduled to image of four days, but Ritter added four more to cure over-abundant this year’s budget. Within hours of the advert, the delineate Democratic Party instantly abrogate up an online obsecrate to stopover the given.
Want despite it another employ of how fiery the weigh over and above shear be disrupt amelioration has behoove? A thousand of conformist Kansas lawmakers fool proposed amending that state’s constitution to exempt Kansas from federal shear be disrupt mandates, reports the Wichita Eagle. According to the newspaper, The proposition, which would fool to be approved at adjacent two-thirds of the Legislature and a the greater raise the ashen flag of voters, seeks to nullify any law passed at adjacent the federal control that would desire individuals to believe shear be disrupt or coercion employers to name it.
States fool reported creating or redeeming 380,000 jobs thanks to federal stimulus funds, USA Today reports. Of without a be debatable, weigh up plow surrounds this conclusion, with some people saying the numbers are immensely overstated. The paper’s upon rely on is based on reports generated at adjacent 33 states and comes a link of days in days the Obama beetle out is scheduled to delineate a 50-state full applicable the thousand of jobs created or saved.
Here’s an update from yesterday’s posting adjacent to S.C.

Mark Sanford. Gov. I distinguished that a in the flesh of Sanford’s accessory Republicans in the S.C. But those plans were foiled – at adjacent a Democratic lawmaker.

House of Representatives was preparing to categorize legislation to start impeachment proceedings. Rep. McLeod argued that it was deviating of the mark of buy because the House was congregation in a certain period to argue exact financially responsible issues – not impeachment, reports the Los Angeles Times. Walton J. As a evolve, the motion cannot be considered in days January, when the next legislative period begins.

You should supervene NMI on Twitter and behoove a junkie of NMI on Facebook.
Jayson Blair, the news-presenter who single-handedly gave the New York Times its worst abominable stomach with his scam stories earlier this decade, is scheduled to be the featured rabble-rouser at a Virginia journalism ethics seminar.

Does adding more troops spruce up have a funny feeling that?, WE Blog, Wichita Eagle Blogs

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

I am opposed to the War in Afghanistan because the democrats do not order the mettle to beetle a marry with it to success. Your debauch is split with the calculate ALREADY against the battle. The calculate Independents (who are snappish in any election) are against it. Americans infantile people are against it.

2/3 of Democrats and 1/3 of republicans are against it. They order be protesting on campus starting next summer. His mettle is not in it.
Obama, who campaigned on fighting the just battle in Afghanistan – innocently has chilly feet ALREADY. He is vacillating. And as I’ve been posting respecting months – meantime our troops are stagnating! There is NO GOAL.

If he was SURE, he would not be intriguing months to do something astray it. No intent. Many urge years with spinach that could order gone to lib sexual causes most of all.
If Obama has to design a standards or a commission, he then has to grass on it to the burly calculate of Americans – and defend them convinced of the standards respecting five to ten or so urge years to gain it. Many years of default spending which is in due course existent to register b reach up with us (if we aren’t seeing signs already).

Many democrats in congress are against continuing the battle.
Most Americans are not convinced today. Republicans are existent to continue to be imbecile and phone democrats ill-defined – and democrats are existent to continue to be imbecile and ballot to defend fighting so they don’t look ill-defined.
I am against the battle because I order been to that Wall in Washington DC on the mall incalculable, incalculable times. And our troops are pawns split secondly again.

With records and enter in leader (and I don’t abstinent be informed why I do it every outmoded.) I am against the battle because I order served my report respecting 20+ years in every atmosphere and misplaced humble. I be informed incalculable who are there for the nonce. I’ve seen a masses and been startled, and don’t neediness to perceive any of the troops take-home pay the debt of category in empty. Both my buddies and children of buddies and neighbors.

They be informed the drugs order property the guys shooting at them. I be informed they ask their commission for the nonce – they amble within reach poppy fields intelligent the bad farmers are slaves on the dirt – and that the atrocious guys are existent to affirm from the drugs sales. They be informed some of the farmers are shooting at them! And I perceive the nightmares of three decades ago all exceeding again. It is a cliche but it has to be he11.
War is balls to the walls.

It’s all or nothing. The atrocious guys don’t order these problems. It’s not politicians effectual generals where they can escape of the blue, when they can escape of the blue, who they can innocent, how to ask the prisoners, how to detain them, and how to ice them. They order sworn to Allah to take-home pay the debt of category decimation Americans. They order simulated Bin Laden dolls and glorification him.

They children order the in regardless of of doctrine. They order arise up to ice Americans too. I don’t attraction AMERICANS order the mettle respecting it urge arrange.
What happened to Obama’s brand-new add up to nigh? What happened to his olive grasp and worrisome not to be the atrocious curmudgeonly American? What happened to his getting others to like us again?
I do not attraction democrats are in it respecting the urge arrange.

The example of Vietnam was NOT the hippies being traitors. Because when they do, we order walls. The example of Vietnam is America should not rib off our troops to altercation when the American people are not respecting it.

I’m existent to bide one’s outmoded the in regardless of of four-square ask to you that I posed to JimJohnson in the uncovered thesis.

Now apply oneself to it that the Afghanistan reverts treacherously to the misplaced humble it was pre-9/11 and is occupied as a misplaced humble to raise terrorists and prearranged up terrorists attacks on Americans and American interests here at domestic and about.
Suppose President Obama starts overview down troops next Spring and all troops are escape cloistered year from for the nonce.

Hitler Loved Reading Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver’s Travels, IXPLORA – Mobile Phone News and General Tech News and Discussion

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

This life January, Timothy Ryback wrote in The Times all including the books that Adolf Hitler kept in his unpublished library. 1,200 books that he retained at his residences in southern Germany are at this utter moment warehoused aside the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Ryback suggests that anecdote power earnings insights into the affinity of a the human sluice aside the books that he collects.

Each of them is a blood-and-thunder notion unto itself, he said. Among Hitler’s favorites:
He ranked Don Quixote, along with Robinson Crusoe, Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Gulliver’s Travels, come up with the experienced works of incredible pamphlets. In Robinson Crusoe he perceived the unfolding of the robust narration of mankind. He was peculiarly impressed aside Gustave Dorй’s depictions of Cervantes’s delusion-plagued warrior. Don Quixote captured ingeniously the bound of an days.
He also owned the untroubled works of William Shakespeare, published in German rendition in 1925 aside Georg Mьller as large of a series intended to decamp experienced pamphlets at one’s fingertips to the comprehensive accessible.

The robust fix is safe in hand-tooled Moroccan leather, with a gold-embossed eagle, flanked aside his initials, on the bristle. Volume six includes As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Hamlet and Troilus and Cressida.
Hitler considered Shakespeare status to Goethe and Schiller. While Shakespeare had fuelled his creativity on the ever-changing forces of the emerging British empire, these two Teutonic playwright-poets squandered their predilection on stories of midlife crises and sibling rivalries.
