“This,” he said without the least drama or emphasis, “is about true and
false. Right and wrong. Good and evil. And justice, Mara. This is about justice. And balance. And…” He nodded as if to himself
rather than to me. “… and redemption.”
Mara has awoken and all she knows is her name. She doesn’t remember what happened, where she
is, where she’s supposed to be, or even if she’s just dreaming. All she knows is her name, Mara and she
clings to it. Another thing she knows is
that this ethereally beautiful and menacing boy/guy in all black is someone you
don’t mess with, and for a while she calls him the Messenger of Fear. Slowly he shows her a young girl who is dead,
and they figure out it was a suicide; but why did she kill herself? Mara needs to know, she needs to who is
responsible and when she finds out she has no mercy. You see the Messenger of Fear comes to people
during a time in their life that they did something really really bad, and knew
it was bad before they did it. I am not
talk about petty things either. The
Messenger gives them two choices, play a game of chance or accept your
punishment (of course if you lose the game of chance you still receive your
punishment). The game is also extremely
intense and tends to be gruesome. The point
of the matter is that all of us do something that we know will have dire
consequences, and what separates us is how we react to those situations. Some of us will do the right thing, and
others will pretend like they didn’t know. A good example is for instance if you ran over a dog. Most people would stop and call the police
and report it (because, it’s a crime to drive away from the scene of an
accident), but there might be a few who think that no one some them and they
drive away. The second group of people
is the one the Messenger of Fear visits. This was a such a creepy story, and it had everything I
liked. It had a pale good looking guy,
who wears all black, and exudes predator. Nightmares are a real thing in this book, and overall the theme/message
of being a good person, of right and wrong. I really hope to follow more of Mara’s story, find out more about the
Messenger of Fear, and watch them find redemption. A great beginning of a series.
Thank You Edelweiss.

"Some say death is a doorway, belief the key. Others claim you only have to stumble across the threshold to glimpse a hundred billion universes in the blink of single silver shard." I really enjoyed Hopkins' Rumble, purely because of the nature of her writing. I found myself not able to put the book down, but also found myself questioning my beliefs, morals, and opinions. Matt is going through some serious soul searching. His family is messed up, his brother committed suicide a few months back, and frankly Matt has given up on faith. Instead he is determined to "go big, or go home." Even his highly devote and highly good looking Christian girlfriend, Hayden, couldn't sway him. Matt was a likeable character with a bit of narcissism, self deprecation, and reflection he made it easy to relate. 4 out of 5 stars.
"It made it seem like Claire's entire life had been tainted by violence, right from the start. she wondered if violence didn't follow some people, the same way bad luck trailed after others."
Claire Cain is a survivor. She survived being beaten brutally out in an alley a few months back, and everyday she survives another day of PTSD. With a chance move, Claire thinks she will be able to heal better some where else; however, the town of Peculiar, Missouri isn't as quiet as she might have hoped. Within her first couple of weeks in Peculiar a student from Claire's new high school is found murdered, beaten to death/perhaps strangled. All Claire can focus on are the similarities between herself and Serena. There is also the sinister way feral cats have been appearing: first at the murder scene, then following Claire around. Claire must figure out what's going on soon, or else she will lose everything she's been holding on to. This was an intriguing psychological thriller. It had me think that it was a supernatural/paranormal book and all of a sudden it became very real.

In Maas' third installment in her Throne of Glass series, we find Celaena traveling back to her birth place, both under orders of the King she hates and also under the advisement of the one who truly loves her, Chaol, for her safety. There she finds her aunt Maeve, the Queen, and Rowan, a Prince in Maeve's court. Celaena must go back, to before she was Celaena, and remember who she was, who she was meant to be, and who is suppose to lead the people of her land. She's not the only one that needs to make these discoveries, back in Adarlan both Prince Dorian and Choal must decide where their loyalties lie, and fully accept themselves and each other for who and what they are. The action is just as enticing as the past two books; the book continues to demonstrate the dark of the story, as other characters and monsters are introduced to the story line. The romance kills me, because Choal's regret but acceptance is palpable and Celaena's heart break is as well. Will she be able to forgive him? Will she find her self mated to Rowan, as the Fae do for eternity? And will Celaena, Choal, and Dorian be able to bring down the tyranny and restore hope to all? Loved, loved, loved this book and I love this series even more. Please don't let there be a love triangle... please!

"Touch another person's skin and Dad will never come home. The danger feels even bigger than that. Touch another person's skin and Dad will evaporate." Caddie has rules. She never touches anyone's skin, for fear that her father will not come back home. This isn't the first time she's made rules for herself, since she was little Caddie has lived by rules to ensure her safety, the world's safety, and ultimately keep her from shattering. But what if the one thing you can't do, that you're afraid to do, is the one thing you need? After Caddie transfers to an Art high school, where she reconnects with old friends, she begins to want things. She most definitely wants to be Ophelia in the upcoming school production of Hamlet, and she wants to go unnoticed (especially her strangeness). Enter Peter, he is everything Caddie isn't. He's impulsive, in your face, and there's this life in his eyes that makes Caddie's heart race. The problem is that she still cannot touch anyone. How is Caddie suppose to be in a play, friends with people, and foster a crush on Peter when the thought of touching anyone sends her into a panic attack? A very true issue that isn't spoken about enough is given voice in Rachel M. Wilson's novel Don't Touch. 4 out of 5 stars.
"These are perks to being a surrogate. We get to dress how we want, eat what we want, sleep late on the weekends. We get an education. A good education. We get fresh food and water, we always have electricity, and we never have to work. We never have to know poverty--and the caretakers tell us we'll have more once we start living in the Jewel. Except freedom. They never seem to mention that."
Violet is a surrogate, one of many that are auctioned off into servitude for the aristocratic women. She lives in an era where women cannot have children, and so surrogates, who come from a more diluted background, are used to carry the royal children. At the auction Violet will lose her identity, become lot 197, and become the property of a well to-do lady. But soon she realizes that within the city limits of The Jewel lies betrayal, heartbreak, games, and death, and the surrogates are usually the victims. The head of the houses are cruel with each other, some are sinister, and others use their property like play things parading them along the town square on leashes. Violet must get out, but soon she falls in love with a companion, another group that is placed in servitude in a sexual manner within The Jewel. All this can lead to is death, no matter how much a surrogate is valued, they are still property. Will she be able to escape with the help of a "lady-in-waiting" Lucien? How can she keep her love for Ash a secret after he confirms his feelings for her? And is there a rebellion slowly growing within The Jewel? A YA Handmaid's Tale, with lushes scenery and caustic revelry. 3 out of 5 stars. Posted by
I wanted to love Amity
by Micol Ostow so much, that I will actually give a proper review (well, proper
in my view). I like Amity, the urban
legend and the history behind it; it was a story that captured and captivated
many audiences and especially those that live in New England towns like that in
Concord. Ostow’s take on Amity was a bit
the same and a bit different. Like other
stories based on this house, he focused on a past event but juxtaposed it to a
present tense story. You have Connor and
his family, that moved into Amity 10 years before Gwen and her family moved
in. Connor is the past and Gwen is the
present. What Worked:
Obviously I like the blending of the past and present story. Are they only connected because they lived
there, or because there was something innately wrong with them? It’s pretty gruesome. You can’t have an Amity horror without some bloodshed, witch craft,
Native American folklore, or demon eyes. All of the above was present.
Connor’s crazy versus Gwen’s crazy. They are both a little different than your
average person; however, Connor made me feel as if snakes slithered under my
skin, while Gwen just drove me nuts with compassion.
Annie. Annie really
worked. The house was an entity all on itself. Yes the back stories were there, but it all
came down to the stones, the foundation. Amity was the villain in the story, not just an object that evil was
projected onto. What Didn’t Work:
The connection between Connor and Gwen were not very
solid. Besides living in the same house
and dealing with psychological issues respectively, they were not the same
person or even remotely alike in personality. While Gwen felt hunted, Connor felt comforted by Amity.
Um… really Connor? I did
not like his story, but then again do we really like Ronald DeFeo Jr., the
original murderer in the Amityville horror story? Why do people insist on staying in places as creepy as this
one? Gwen was afflicted with hysteria,
and you are going to take her out into the middle of Nowhere, USA and not
expect some crazy things to go down? Why
are the adults always so… dumb?
WHY would you end it that way? I had so much more of Gwen to experience, I had
so many more questions, and I sure as heck don’t want to go through that house
again just to find out how Gwen’s doing.
This was definitely worth the read. I know this is a mixed review, but I found it
scary and I found it interesting. I don’t
regret the couple of hours it took from me because in the end it accomplished
what a horror movie tries to accomplish. It gets you thinking, involved the action, and ultimately fighting along
with the main character until the bitter end.
Thank You Edelweiss. 3 stars out of 5.

History Hoydens: Summer Ramblings from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
What a fun post, Tracy! And how I wish I could see the productions you mentioned, especially "Equivocation." I've seen Anthony Heald perform several times on Broadway and have always admired his work.
As both an actress and writer I love movies that depict one or the other or both professions. It's harder of course to dramatize the life of a writer because it's a more cerebral, less visceral, and certainly less interactive metier to depict on the stage or screen unless you show the writer as a person (which is why "Shakespeare in Love" and "Iris" work), or else the writer is a dramatist who you see interact with the actors, producers, directors, etc., in that grand collaborative effort to produce his work.
When it comes to movies about writers, "Iris" (about the life of Iris Murdoch and her battle with Alzheimers, depicting Iris [Kate Winslet] as a young woman, with Dame Judi Dench portraying her once she gets Alzheimers] moved me more than any other film on the subject. If writers live in the world of the mind and Alzheimers robs one of the use of that mind, then the writer in effect becomes homeless, a most terrifying prospect. Because I've had Alzheimers sufferers on both sides of my family, in the back of my mind I do fear it will strike me as well.
Jokes about writers being the low person on the creative totem pole abound in film, all the funnier because they are, alas, true. Revisit the character of Mike, a novelist turned hack journalist in "The Philadelphia Story" or the screenwriter magnificently played by Bob Hoskins with a flawless American accent in the goofy 1986 comedy "Sweet Liberty," about an attempt to film a book about a famous Revolutionary War battle (the movie's producers want to turn the war story into a romantic comedy). Hoskins' character offers a version of that timeless Hollywood joke about an ambitious starlet so dumb that she thought she could get somewhere by sleeping with the screenwriter.
As for books featuring actors, well, there's my own roman a clef, "Temporary Insanity" (which tackles the life of a struggling actress who lives with her grandmother, a former Ziegfeld showgirl battling Alzheimers.) And when it comes to films about actors or the acting life ... my list could go on forever. Among the funniest because they're so damn true are Christopher Guest's "Waiting for Guffman" -- which anyone who has every done or seen community theatre will immediately recognize as devastatingly (and hilariously) accurate; and a personal favorite, "The Goodbye Girl." Richard Dreyfuss deserved his Oscar for playing a Chicago actor down on his luck, come to NYC to play Richard III. Naturally, his character's comfortably traditional take on the role differs radically from his wacky, flamboyant director's interpretation of the famous crookback as a flaming queen.
Thanks, Amanda! Anthony Heald is great, isn't he? He played Shakespeare in "Equivocation."
I so agree about it being hard to capture writers and the writing process in films. "Iris" was a wonderful, heartbreaking movie. I also thought the portrait of Virginia Woolf in "The Hours" rang true (the scenes of her working through the plot of "Mrs. Dalloway" were great). "The Philadelphia Story" is oen of my favorite movies, and "Sweet Liberty" was a lot of fun. I also thought the writer hero in "Sideways" worked very well, particularly his heartbreakingly realistic conversation with his agent where she tells him the publisher is passing on his book.
I haven't read your "Temporary Insanity"--must do so, I love books about actors written by actors, to mention friends. And I confess I haven't seen either "Waiting for Guffman" or "The Goodbye Girl"--more movies to catch up on.
Tracy, I forgot about "Sideways" as a writer-related film. Yes, absolutely, that scene you referred to is utterly heartbreaking. Not only did the screenwriters have just the right ear for the writer's role, but they had the (offscreen) literary agent 100% down pat. Boy-oh-boy did you get the feeling the "Sideways" screenwriter had been there before.
I believe the "Sideways" writer is also a novelist. Totally agree about the agent's voice and event the receptionist when the hero first calls the agency. The whole scene rang so painfully true (as did the hero's constantly checking his cell phone earlier in the film to see if his agent has called).
I once reviewed a book about a writer and about writing -- Francine Prose's The Blue Angel for salon.com. There were certain things I didn't like about it, but it's still a helluva book, and now that I've been reviewed myself (sometimes very painfully) I think I would have said some of what I said quite differently.
The book sounds interesting, Pam. I've never written a formal review, but I know hearing my own books discussed, I tend to phrase things carefully even in more casual online discussions.
The book sounds interesting, Pam. I've never written a formal review, but I know just hearing my own books discussed makes me try to think carefully about how I phrase things even in more casual online discussions.
I just returned from a week in Ashland, also.
I think Bill Cain's play, Equivocation, is an important and relevant statement about art and truth.
Wonderful to know you were in Ashland as well, Lynna. Do you go ever year? Totally agree about Equivocation. One of the things I loved about it was that it's scope was so big (major themes, complicated plot) and so beautifully executed.
Tracy--no, I don't get to Ashland every year, but I was there year before last and this year--with a Scripps College "tour" deal. That in itself was a fascinating people-study. The dear friend I enjoyed the week with and I have been have been best buddies for 50 years (!).
When my husband was alive (and well), we used to attend the Shakespeare festival every year (this was in the 70's-80's) and there is one production I will NEVER forget--and I do not want to ever see another production for fear of destroying that exquisite memory: This was "Two Gentlemen from Verona," with gorgeous baroque music (!) and Balinese dancing and ...
Have there been other productions about which you [all of you] feel the same kind of protectiveness?
Your Scripps tour sounds fun, Lynnda. I love sharing Ashland with friends. Penny and I've been friends for a bit over 20 years. I like to think we'll still be going to Ashland together when we've been friends for 50 yeas.
I don't think I saw the "Two Gentlemen of Verona" you mention. It sounds wonderful! I started going to Ashland with my parents in 1980 (our first trip was an 8th grade graduation present). I've been almost every year since, with a few exceptions (and it wasn't until the mid 90s that we started seeing all the plays every season).
I know just what you mean about seeing a production of a play that is so exquisite you don't think another can top it. I've definitely felt that way about a number of productions, several of them at OSF. Most notably a 2002 "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" directed by Timothy Bond that was one of the best productions of any play I've ever seen. I've seen "Virginia Woolf" since and enjoyed it, but it didn't compare with my memories of the OSF production.

Embracing Ambiguity in the Bible and Theology →
The False Power of Theological Certainty in Conservatism
Posted on May 23, 2016	by jesuswithoutbaggage
When I was 7, I began to follow Jesus as a fundamentalist. More than 50 years later, I am more devoted to Jesus than ever, but it has been a long journey out of fundamentalism, and theological conservatism, to where I am today. My views have changed significantly from what I was first taught.
Now that I am free of a lot of the conservative theological baggage I carried, I am sometimes confronted by conservatives who challenge my ‘unbiblical’ thinking. Among them is a rock-solid theologically conservative friend of mine. He visits occasionally and always brings up some issue on which he knows we disagree; most recently he defended creationism against evolution.
I would rather not discuss these things because we have no dialogue—just arguments that ‘prove’ his views; but he never uses an argument I have not heard many times over. And he says that he KNOWS he is right; he has absolute certainty about his views.
This is not unusual. You might have experienced this yourself; theological conservatives are often ‘absolutely certain’ about what they believe, and they try to badger people with this condescending attitude of certainty. Sometimes they say, ‘I know that I know!’
But remember, just because they think they are certain doesn’t make it true. I think they are quite mistaken on many issues because their entire worldview is based on inadequate, and improvable, presuppositions; a major presupposition is that the Bible comes directly from God and is inerrantly true and is clear to anyone who reads it correctly.
A related problem is harmonization. Religious doctrines don’t exist as isolated beliefs; they are usually part of a larger collection of doctrines based on a few key presuppositions. Many times such collections of doctrines are developed into a huge complex of interacting beliefs called systematic theology.
Systematic theology attempts to collect and harmonize the entire Bible around key presupposition, without regard to the multiple voices of the Bible. Many religious conservatives are quite fond of systematic theology.
The result can be seem quite impressive, but if one important part of the system is shown to be weak, especially a presupposition, the entire structure can come crashing down. With independent thinking and critical analysis these systems can prove to be unimpressive and not so ‘certain’ at all. But proponents continue to defend them with arguments that are totally unconvincing to those who don’t share the presuppositions.
In developing our beliefs we must think for ourselves and not buy into doctrinal systems based on someone else’s authority. I certainly never want anyone to adopt beliefs based on my authority. Think for yourself, and if what I say makes some sense to you then come to your own conclusions.
A convinced conservative can paint a scary picture, but think critically about what they say. Does it make sense? Are there problems with the argument? Is it consistent with the teaching and example of Jesus? Don’t accept a belief out of fear ‘Just in case it is true’.
Theological conservatives do NOT own the truth, no matter how confidently they think they do.
Most people don’t arrive at radically conservative religious beliefs through their own analysis and critical thinking; they inherit their beliefs intact from someone else—either by being raised with the beliefs or by being convinced by a conservative teacher. But once under the sway of such teaching, they are discouraged from entertaining any questions or doubts. Doubt is bad!
But other genuine believers have different conclusions about Jesus, the Bible, and truth; and these people are seen as dangerous because they might introduce doubt (thinking and questioning) into conservative believers with their ‘false doctrines’. And this cannot be allowed!
An important tool against doubt is apologetics, which has two functions: 1) to confront the ‘errors’ of those who think differently and 2) to convince those considering conservative doctrines. But there is also a third function; apologetics is meant to re-enforce conservatives who might be influenced by ‘false doctrines’ and begin to doubt, and it does so by providing ‘answers’ to every possible objection to the ‘truth’.
My blogger friend Josh Way states this very well:
Too many Christians rely on recycled apologetic talking points to avoid the hard and risky work of actually wrestling with issues and problems. And while the pretense of apologetic work has been to “win others to Christ,” the reality is that it exists primarily to reassure believers and inoculate them against questions and doubts.
Poor Practices Arising from Absolutely Certainty
Theological conservatives who are absolutely certain tend to follow certain poor practices.
They often defend their views with hubris, arrogance, and condescension
They often try to intimidate people with their absolute certainty
They often make appeals to authoritarian proof-texts without proper context
They often confuse their interpretation of a biblical text as the clear meaning of the text
They often threaten eternal punishment in hell for those not accepting their views
They often speak in the name of God
They often dismiss objections by saying, ‘That’s liberal’, which is a pejorative term used to dismiss the objection, avoid answering questions, and to avoid dialog
Many conservatives are absolutely certain they know the truth about religious beliefs; I think they are mistaken. But if they don’t know the truth, then who does? I doubt anyone knows religious truths for certain, which is a horror to conservatives who are ‘absolutely certain’.
But those who think for themselves must become comfortable with a considerable amount of ambiguity. We will talk about that next time.

I am glad you liked it, Noelene!
I am an English Christian, raised “liberal” but my teenage Christian friends were fundamentalist. I found this very confusing and have gone to church on and off all my life. I found this post very helpful and re assuring
Ruth, I am glad if this has been helpful.
I just don’t understand Christians who react with arrogance when you disagree with their viewpoints…they completely have missed the point, yes? One side of my family is Catholic and the other side are Holdeman Mennonites. I have been confused for years! Now, there are good people in both religions, but they both can’t be right! Mine was an interesting and trying childhood at times and I rejected all religion for a spell. Now, I am confident in my salvation, but would like to have a church home. This is small town America around here, and I just can’t contend with the attitudes and elitism. So frustrating!
Hi Denise, you are right that some believers really do react arrogantly to those who disagree–as if they know it all for sure. I have learned, for the most part, to let them believe what they wish and not argue with them, for they are not likely to be convinced anyway.
There are good people in in various Christian traditions; it is not as though groups are all good or all bad. And I find I can get along with people of differing beliefs so long as they don’t try to argue with me about their beliefs. Dialog Yes; arguing No.
It is often difficult to find a good fit for a church home, and I imagine it is even more difficult in a small town environment. I did write an article that might help some people in trying to find a church. If interested, it is at https://jesuswithoutbaggage.wordpress.com/2016/01/04/5-steps-to-finding-a-good-church-fit-for-you/.
“….but if one important part of the system is shown to be weak, especially a presupposition, the entire structure can come crashing down” – and this is one of the main reasons why they defend it so vehemently. It’s because there is no redundancy in their belief systems; it either has to be all completely correct, or the whole lot is false. It’s not allowed to compromise on any point – not even one – because then the whole structure comes under threat. Not a particularly safe position to hold, imo 😉
Tony, I hesitate to repeat your own statement back to you, but it is a great statement.
“This is one of the main reasons why they defend it so vehemently. It’s because there is no redundancy in their belief systems; it either has to be all completely correct, or the whole lot is false. It’s not allowed to compromise on any point – not even one – because then the whole structure comes under threat.”
This is right on target. And any questioning or doubt often leads to terrible feelings of anguish and lostness. I know; it happened to me.
I have a co-worker who is a strong believer in Creationism. He told me that the first chapter of the first book of the Bible tells how created the world in 6 days and if he rejected that, how could he accept everything else? A perfect example of your statement about all or nothing.
Ken, I agree; this is a perfect example. And a lot of people use it.
Tim, It might be that many of these people who are so certain have become so dependent on the Bible that they cannot imagine being able to manage without it. I have become aware of two who are known to me on a personal basis. They are unwilling to discuss even the proposition that the Bible contains contradictions. As a result, their minds remain prisoners in the Bible, with all of the limitations that places on them.
Chas, I know that my mind was prisoner to an inerrant Bible, and it really locks a person in. If we have to harmonize everything in the Bible to make it all work together, it leaves little room for thinking.
In addition, by harmonizing the Bible we no longer actually believe the Bible but the harmonized construct, which by necessity is based on interpretation. So what we believe in is not an inerrant Bible but an inerrant interpretation–usually someone else’s interpretation.
Tim, the attempt to harmonize it would also require being able to lean over backwards at about 90 degrees, while simultaneously attempting several other contortions!
Tim, as a follow-up to my previous comment about dependency, I also know of someone who is genuinely dependent on the Bible. He used to be alcohol dependent, but has now become dependent on the Bible; he reads it continually, to the exclusion of all else, but at least that is less harmful than being addicted to alcohol. However, it seems that the Bible has now become his god.
That’s interesting, Chas. I don’t know if I have ever thought in terms of Bible dependency, but now that you bring it up I can think of examples of people who seemed Bible-dependent.
Tim, I’d like to explore this question of dependency a bit more, because it appears that some people are using the Bible as a sort of spiritual ‘crutch’, without which they feel in some way vulnerable. That would suggest that their faith is in the words, rather than in God, which seems to indicate that they have missed something of the message. Since my formerly-alcoholic friend, who is now Bible-dependent, was once a tongue-speaking believer, what was it that he missed, or has he now stopped believing something that he once believed? At present, I can’t see what that might be.
Chas, I think many believers DO use the words of the Bible (often without context and with suspect interpretation mixed in) as a crutch. I think people want ‘certainty’–they want clear answers. They have real difficulty with ambiguity, which we will discuss next week.
As for your friend, I cannot say what he missed or stopped believing.
Oh my but what a good and relevant topic TIM. It could even be titled..Nobody wants to be wrong. or My church is holier than yours…my pastor better…….yak yak yak..
I like what Chas said…”bible dependency” Kinda like being “so heavenly minded they are no earthly good”.
Thanks Mark. And I really like your alternate post titles!
Doubt is the beginning of understanding.
Dave, I agree! This is very important to know.
revcamlin says:
Yep Rev; that nails it!
My belief is that the opposite of faith is fear, so is this apparent certainty just a bluff?
I enjoy following your blog. I don’t come from a fundamentalist background, but can identify with a lot of the topics you address. As my beliefs have changed I’ve realized that one of the reasons it’s difficult to change is that beliefs often show that you belong to a certain “tribe.” Changing beliefs can put that person in danger of isolation from their community, which is traumatic for such a deeply social species as humans. I’ve only experienced this in a minor way, but is still painful.
Do you think it’s possible to have a healthy fundamentalism? In other words, is shunning other perspectives inherent to fundamentalism? Or can someone hold fundamentalist beliefs and still be loving and tolerant of other perspectives? Have you heard Mike McHargue’s (Science Mike) take on this? He was a fundamentalist, who began to doubt inerrancy and became an atheist, but is now a Methodist mystic, haha. I think you would really connect with his work. In his perspective, the problem is authoritarianism, which can exist in many different belief systems. Authoritarianism cares more about protecting the institution than the people in the institution.
What are your thoughts? Thanks again for the work you do!
Hi Steve, I am glad you like the blog. I think you are right about being part of the tribe. Fundamentalists and other very conservative believers face exactly what you describe when they begin to question anything they have been taught–alienation, attack, and often exclusion from the group. It IS very painful.
I can never say ‘never’, but I think it unlikely to develop a healthy fundamentalism. The core of fundamentalism is rejection of anything that violates the ‘fundamentals’, and in Christian fundamentalism those accepted fundamentals are anything but healthy.
I can envision fundamentalists who are on a journey away from fundamentalism who are tolerant of other worldviews, but at that point they are probably in danger of ostracization from the tribe if they are verbal about it. Purity of belief is closely guarded.
There are church leaders out there who are so intent on imposing their views they do not tolerate any other view and will exclude you from their churches to maintain this position. My first church excluded me for being ‘unteachable’, because I was unwilling to submit to the chief leader. He talked to me on a couple of occasions and I put my views to him, but he got the other leaders to do his dirty work for him, by inviting me to leave. They did not trouble to ask me their own questions, just took his view as representing the church as a whole. I was not surprised, as the chief leader was more interested in keeping to the end time for services than in making time to serve God.
Wow Chas, you are ‘unteachable’ because you continue to learn and think for yourself? However, I am not shocked; I have seen this too.
I’m sorry you went through that, Chas. I hope you’ve been able to find a more supportive community since then that still challenges you and encourages growth.
Steve, no need to be sorry. As I wrote, it was no surprise, because I had already begun to see the quenching of the Spirit that the leadership was causing. I was already aware of a suitable alternative fellowship, in which I guess I have been more challenging than challenged. Unfortunately, this church has been remiss in spreading the Good News to others, because, although it is in the midst of a very mixed community, the membership is still about 97% Afro-Caribbean, as it has been for at least the past 16 years and most likely a long time before that.
Great post. I have been working on a post of my own on Presuppositionalism, which is the root idea behind Dominionism. I believe that this idea has unfortunately poisoned so much of American Christianity, because it has made theological “truths” trump objective facts. I’m with you on the real purpose of apologetics, which is to inoculate fundies against doubt. I have a friend right now who has gotten into apologetics, and it has made for some friction between us. All of the symptoms you describe are present. I hope it will just be a stage.
Fiddlrts, I really look forward to your post on Presuppositionalism– a lot!
I went back & re-read the third part of your spiritual crisis. I c, &ould not remember how you resolved it. So, knowing what historians have demonstrated about the anonymous authors of the Gospels, & the likely forgeries of Paul, do you hold to the belief that Jesus is divine & still alive? Do you feel certainty within your faith in Jesus? Just curious. Not meant to be a challenge or argument. You know how much I love this blog.
Sheila, I think this is a fair question. After great study and deliberation, I feel strongly that Jesus is the unique son of God, even if that might mean ‘adopted’ son. And I believe he is resurrected. But certain? How can we be absolutely certain? We can be mistaken about anything.
Tim, what makes you think that Jesus might be an ‘adopted’ son of God?
Chas, there are some who believe Jesus was the adopted son of God. My point is that I think Jesus is the ‘unique’ son of God whether or not he was pre-existent. He is not the same as other influential people who teach love and peace–such as the Buddha.
..Remembering that we are all ‘sons’ of G-D….Jesus being the greatest – most advanced – most in unity with the Great Spirit beyond and within, all life? Is Jesus still alive? I think He is, in His Spirit form. I can’t believe that Someone with such a love for humanity, would just be “sitting at the right hand of God” – doing nothing – not still helping via MIND and SPIRIT!! I sometimes wonder whether they meant, or should have meant, that He is God’s ‘right-hand-man” !!!
Noeline, I think Jesus is alive as well. And I think the sitting at the right hand of God is a symbolic reference.

I had 13 pending charges for only one night stay. When I checked out the next morning, they demanded payment and refused to explain why I had 13 charges on my bank card and we're still demanding payment. I think Kassi was the manager, she was rude and refused to allow me to explain that the bank had already deducted the money from my account. I had to contact my bank and have them remove those 13 charges so that I could pay for my 1 night stay. It would have been fine if the front desk would have told me from the beginning that there were 13 pending charges and that I needed to contact my bank to have them fix the issue...

Dog Food | Basicwomen's Blog
{November 4, 2010} Dog Food
Dogs are the most favorite pets in the world. According to the statistics published by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association in the National Pet Owner Survey in 2009-2010, it is estimated that there are 77.5 million dog owners in the United States. The same survey shows that nearly 40% of American households own at least one dog, of which 67% own just one dog, 25% two dogs and nearly 9% more than two dogs.
Dogs are known to be very faithful animals and are often called man’s best friend. Indeed many people are very attached to their pet dogs. They take them everywhere they go. They spend a lot of time with them and take care of them like children. Many childless couples adopt dogs.
However, having a dog means a lot of responsibility. Dogs need to be taken for walks every day. They must be fed regularly. Dog food is generally what they’re given. Dog food is food intended for consumption by dogs or other canine. Some people make their own dog food, feed their dogs meals made from ingredients purchased in grocery or health-food stores or give their dogs a raw food diet. Many others rely on commercially manufactured dog food.
Most store-bought dog food can either be in a dry form (also known in the US as kibble) or a wet canned form. Generally, dry food is preferred for reasons of convenience and price.
Dry dog food is cheaper when compared to wet canned food and is also more nutritionally dense. A lesser quantity of dry food is required when compared to wet food. Dry food also contains more fillers like corn and wheat and lesser quantities of meat.
Pellets of dry dog food, called kibble in the US, are produced by one of two methods, extrusion and baking. What happens here is, an expander is fed with cut dough and a mixture of raw materials. When removed from the high pressure that results, the pellets puff up like popcorn. The resultant kibble is allowed to dry, and then sprayed with vitamins, fats and oils, or any other ingredients that are not heat-tolerant.
Wet canned food contains higher amounts of moisture when compared to dry pellets. The food is usually sterilized after being canned; it is easier to ensure the sterility of wet food. However, since it has high moisture content, larger amounts of wet food must be fed when compared to dry dog food. Grain gluten and other protein gels may be used in wet dog food to create artificial meaty chunks, which look like real meat.
While you could purchase dog food from the store, you could also feed your dog some homemade dog food. Since their diet is primarily non-vegetarian, you could use cooked meat or raw meat, ground bone and also pureed vegetables, taurine supplements, and other multivitamin supplements.
In addition to feeding them well, ensure good physical activity for your dog. Let it loose when at home. Treat it with care and rest assured it will be the best pet ever.

Break out the Uigi! | The Whisky Obsession
So why is that, you say? (Well, i did). It was a special occasion in the family, I had bypassed other ‘everyday’ drams and gone for something quite special (ok, within budget restraints).
The fact was, i’d had enough. Beer and whisky are no mixture for me – and this probably saved a particularly bad hangover. But the point is, I’ve found myself enjoying a glass or few of whisky – either in a tasting environment, or keeping warm at home – but i mean, really enjoying the whisky. It’s the same level of enjoyment a cold beer offers after a long day in the sun, or a pint of bitter can offer after walking across fields in driving rain – to be warmed up by a real fire, steak pie and a real pint. Glorious.
So where does whisky fit into this equation of enjoyment? Several places really, but at the end of a quantity of beer is not the place. It’s not a chaser, it’s not one for the road. It’s not a shot or a mixer. Not for me anyway. It’s poured, savoured, inhaled and appreciated.
Quantity is not part of this, quality is. My bottle Uigeagail awaits another purpose – perhaps one which is far more sober than the last.

Fiach Talks About His Music(Interview) – The Celtic Music Fan
November 26, 2010 by The Celtic Music Fan
Fiach Talks About His Music(Interview)
Dublin man Fiach Moriarty answers questions about his music…
Deep in the heart of the Dublin music scene there’s this singer/songwriter by the name of Fiach Moriarty. How do you say his name? It actually sounds like Fee-ach. It is derived from an Irish Gaelic word which means ‘raven’.
His voice can drop into a nuance or break into high notes of poetic release. He has a distinct style of playing the guitar. He has shared the stage with the likes of Ray Davies, Eddi Reader, Mary Black, Damien Dempsey, Kila, Freddie White, Sinéad O’Connor, Damien Rice and Paddy Casey. Fiach is Dublin’s local hero. Ask people whom he shared the stage with. Ask the audience who dropped by on the gig. Ask the bar man. They all have something good to say about him. Because his stage charisma translates to his daily life. It’s a package deal. You get what you see.
It is surprising that it’s only now that he’s able to release an album. But think about it. Most artists out there start in the business very young and not really knowing what they want. Most of the time it’s the music industry that dictates what kind of music they put out -or the kind of ‘look’ they have to cultivate to appeal to the masses.
After years of cultivating his art, Fiach finally got what he always wanted. So I is an album of beautifully crafted songs coming from the soul. It’s the kind of songs you want to wake up to or listen to on your bus ride home.
The single off So I is Dignity released late September. ‘Dignity’ is a breezy lively track with great arrangement. It has been added to the RTÉ Radio 1 playlist and is available to download on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/dignity-single/id396002188
What an honor it is when celticmusicfan finally got a chance to chat with him .
1. You have a wonderful album out filled with really beautiful tunes, what inspired you to make So I?
It was a natural thing to do. I’ve been writing songs since I was a kid so the only real surprise for me was that it took this long for the debut album to come out.
2. I stumbled upon you in YouTube (Balcony TV)accidentally but what really glued me was the way you answer questions and yes your live performance was amazing. Where do you get your energy from?
Coffee and wheatgrass! 🙂
3.Your specific place of birth in Ireland totally escapes me. Where is this and do you think the atmosphere at geography of the place help shaped your music?
I was born in Dublin and grew up in Dublin. I would come in to the city every day as a young child with my father and that certainly had an influence on me I think. It is a wonderful city with lots of character and beauty and it helped shape me as a person. Naturally, as a songwriter, for me songs are all about the personal touch and for that I think you can hear Dublin and indeed Ireland in my music.
4.I am glad to note that you came first in the annual Celtic Language Contest in Inverness Scotland. How did this come to be?
It was a contest that was originally held on Raidió na Gaeltachta in Ireland, our national Irish language radio station. I didn’t get through. My friend Enda Reilly did but I was later chosen as a kind of wildcard entry by the judging panel in Scotland and luckily got to go over and perform at the contest.
5. You also sing in Gaelic which I think is wonderful. Do you think there is an increasing popularity in the language now than say…10 years ago? I also read that Irish has became an official language of the EU. What’s your take on this?
There has been a series of cd’s over the past few years called CEOL featuring popular Irish and international artists singing their songs in Gaelic and that has certainly helped popularise the language more so recently.
Also I think with the Good Friday agreement which happened a few years ago in Belfast the language is less so considered political and is seen on its own merits.
The areas where I really see the language thriving are Dublin and Belfast.
6.What’s a day in the studio like?
Long and tiring but can be very rewarding. It’s important to take breaks because the ears can get very tired and it can become difficult to hear things that would otherwise be clear to hear.
7.Any musician you want to collaborate with in the future?
I was asked this question a while ago and said I would love to collaborate with Air. I’ll stick with that for now.
8. What are your current top 10 albums in your collection?
In no particular order, this is what I’m listening to at the moment –
Colm Lynch – Ticketyboo
Nat King Cole – One And Only
Ian Dury – Reasons To Be Cheerful
Oliver Cole – We Albatri
9. In So I, what were the great moments you remember creating this album?
I remember recording ‘Letting Go’ and it was absolutely freezing because the studio is the upstairs of a kind of warehouse. It took me ages to nail it because I was recording it live and the guitar is a plucking style that’s a little intricate. That is a very difficult thing to do with frozen fingers.
I eventually got it down and it was raining really hard on the corrugated roof. So if you listen closely at the end of that track you’ll hear the rain which I think adds a nice effect to the song.
10. I am having a love affair with your song Married to Music. I just love the way it’s written, the chords, the melody and your sunny voice. Tell me more about it.
It was a song I started a few years ago basically saying that no matter what happens I will always have music in my life. I also mention some of the streets and places around where I live and where my grandmother grew up in Dublin. She was very much a music fan and I spent a lot of time with her growing up.
11.The single off this album is called Dignity. Tell us something about this song. It’s really a beautiful track with chords that evoke the carefree feeling. Here, your voice sounds perfect.
The song was written after a break-up I had when I was about 20. I felt pretty desperate but initially wrote it as a funny song because everything seemed to be going wrong for me. In the end it turned out as a kind of sweet song which I was pretty happy with. I was trying to poke fun at myself with it really but it turned out to be kind of sad and sweet. Basically I’m saying that I’ve gone through a hard time but still wishing the other person well in life.
12.What are the important things that you wish to carry out before 2010 ends?
I’m playing some gigs in London and one really nice one in Dublin with a friend of mine Colm Lynch right before Christmas that I’m looking forward to. I’ll more than likely be finishing off some new tracks in the studio too.
13. What’s December like in Dublin?
Cold and wet usually. But Grafton Street looks magical with the beautiful Christmas lights.
And having a hot whiskey in a warm Dublin pub when everyone is in good cheer is quite special.
14. Where will your fans see you next?
My next gig is in the Troubador in Earls Court, London on December 9th.
15. Messages to fans?
Keep supporting real music and thanks for your support so far.

Things i have constantly told people today is that when evaluating a good on the net electronics retail outlet, there are a few issues that you have to consider. First and foremost, you would like to make sure to discover a reputable along with reliable retailer that has received great opinions and classification from other individuals and marketplace leaders. This will make sure that you are getting through with a well-known store providing you with good support and help to the patrons. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this website.
