John ( יוֹחָנָן ) ascending with the Lamb of God ( Ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ) to the New Jerusalem ( καινὴ Ἰερουσαλήμ ) Mechanical Procedures | Thursday – July 23, 2026 S ometimes modern people, ideologues of supposedly different persuasions , make the argument that there is a qualitative and meaningful difference between  democracy and the so-called "tyranny of the majority", and they often go on to argue that within the confines of a democratic society there are certain "checks and balances" that will ensure the proper exercise of the "rule of law", read " The Law Of The Land ", and that in this way the humans rights  of each citizen will be ensured and protected, even guaranteed . The "tyranny of the majority" on the other hand is, they claim , something entirely different: really the rule of mobs and savage fanatics, the lowest and most primitive ( infra-human ) elements in any society , which the vast majority of people tend towards I must...

Yahweh in (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Why I Don't Smoke | Wednesday – July 22, 2026 I may come across as a hypocrite, which I am , whenever I write these blog posts , especially when I write about smoking, a subject I still keep returning to apparently , but there are many reasons why I choose not to smoke, but before I get into those, allow me to just again admit that I am a hypocrite, but so are you and everyone else on Earth; I can almost assure you that there has not been a single man walking this Earth that at some point did not contradict himself and his beliefs .

Tibetan ( 卐 ) Prajñāpāramitā Illustration ( ་ ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་ ) ( प्रज्ञापारमिता ) The Problem of Raising Boys | Tuesday – July 21, 2026 F or some time it has been fancy to consider an abortion  if the fetus turned out to be female, especially in the Far East, but this practice has really been to the detriment of those societies and perhaps more so to the economy of those societies, especially if we only concern ourselves with the largesse of the purse, or the not so largesse of the purse, really if we only concern ourselves with materialism, do also read " What Should the Ratio of Men to Women Be? ". But I should add that even profane scientists have finally reached the conclusion that it would be stupid to abort female fetuses, regardless of the matter of doctrine, or rather if doctrine is involved in the decision or not, which it would do good to presume that it would not be, in most cases that is, although there are certainly cases where doctrine must be sep...
