Anecdotes

1.

The death of God is an absurd notion if taken literally for God is spirit. --Yet some say in Christ dying God died too. But this fails to appreciate the nature of the Trinity. Perhaps God is dead but this statement needs to be explained/clarified/expounded on

2.

The endless raging and antics of those who would see the death of an idea only perpetuate that idea. 

3.

To oppose an idea is to afford it legitimacy -- when they picket and shout that God Hates Fags they already assume that Fags exist and therefore that they have some significance to culture. Maybe ignorance would be a better reaction. 

4. 

The Church is its own political institution thus any affiliation to the American system is, in very clear ways, while not wrong explicitly, flawed.

5.
--I am not political is a political statement--

6.
The self is alone and continually faces outwards to avoid seeing itself revealed to other selves. Because to be revealed to other selves would cause the self to become accountable to itself and other selves.
