Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Concerning Interfaith Matters | Thursday – September 3, 2026 I nterfaith matters or issues regarding the relationship between people of the same faith that belong to different orders or denominations is an issue that sometimes comes up here in the modern day, although I should admit that it seems to me that issues of this kind seem less common these days. At any rate, I am going to attempt to provide some advice and guidance to one of my readers in this post regarding exactly that matter, and then also another matter, which I will return to below. I should mention that I have already responded to a similar letter/issue in this post , although in a completely different context.     This post will be the 9th part of this series, " Answering Readers series ", and I will surely be delighted to answer this and many other readers questions to me. Again, at this point I still have some letters left to cover, but ...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Plastic Surgery | Thursday – August 27, 2026 S urgery, specifically plastic surgery is a topic that I have covered in the past, and in this post I have decided to respond to one of my readers who is wondering about plastic surgery, and I suppose that yes, plastic surgery can be quite a controversial topic, mostly because most people who claim to oppose plastic surgery are obsessed with tolerance , but there is also a certain amount of envy on the part of these people, but I may return to that later; in the meantime I direct you to my post " My Views on the Nature of Equality (Egalitarianism) ".      Now, this is a part of my " Answering Readers series ", which is where I am trying to respond to my readers, and I must say that I very much enjoy responding to your questions, and I intend to keep this up as long as you continue to write me letters. At this point I believe that I am quite able to kee...

How Should Enemies be Dealt With?

Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction f Lakshmi ( लक्ष्मी ) surrounded by two elephants ( गज ) How Should Enemies be Dealt With? Monday – August 24, 2026 S hould enemies be treated with contempt, should they be shown any kind of mercy? These are questions that are very current, and I suppose that they have been with us for some time when we consider the history of the previous couple of centuries . Now, some may say that indeed, you must slay each and every enemy, that you must treat them like vermin, that you must suffocate the air until you have reached the good graces of every single one of them, really until you have eliminated each and everyone of your enemy, until the air has become your domain. Now, this would perhaps be in keeping with the Code of Hammurabi, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. But I would perhaps attempt to hedge between the Code of Hammurabi and basic human decency, not from a do-good liberal perspective , but from a traditional perspective, a perspective of a kind of sol...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Committing to Family? Thursday – August 20, 2026 T he issue of family, read more here , seems pressing for many people these days, and one of the defining questions of this century will surely be why people struggle to create families(?), which is a topic that I have covered in the past and that I intend to cover in the future. Now, in this part of my " Answering Readers series ", I have been asked some very important questions by one of my readers about the issue of family planning and family creation.     Before I proceed to deal with the letter and the questions at hand, I should add that I have certain rules for each of these posts, but I will return to those rules slightly later. Before that, I must add that this is the first part of this series in over two weeks, and as anyone who is following this blog, outside of this series that is, should know, I have been on a journey in the Near East, specifica...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Marriage Scandal | Saturday – July 25, 2026 P ersonal issues and problems, read my " Personal Notes series ", concerning my health continues to bedevil me, and as I am writing this post I have just gone through another minor medical issue – this time not serious enough for me to seek medical attention. Now, I would have updated you ( my readers ) about this in my " Medical Emergency Updates ", but since this was only a minor medical issue, I have decided that it simply was not adverse and serious enough for me to switch my focus away from what actually matters, in this case my readers and the letters that they have submitted to me, many of them containing questions that I will attempt to answer in this " Answering Readers series ". Now, because I am somewhat compromised at the moment and because I lack sleep and also because I happen to be writing this post in the middle of the night, I...

How To Prevent Diabetes

Sugar By Mathilde Langevin How To Prevent Diabetes | Saturday – July 11, 2026 I have been summoned to write about the issue of Diabetes, not that I have any personal reasons to engage with this issue, but I believe that God will be with me. See, they say, the politicians and the political establishment , that Diabetes is a "Welfare disease" or a "Diseases of affluence", which I must concur with, not necessarily for the same reasons though as I do not tend to trust profane science; again I should add that profane science is not necessarily wrong as much as it tends to be less accurate, read " Sacred Medicine ".      People become diabetic not because they were born that way, there may be some exceptions to this rule that I am unaware of, and because people are not generally born with this disease, Diabetes (the disease) must be understood, or rather the disease mechanism must be understood. Yes, according to profane science people become diabetic either ...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Sorting Out Health | Friday – July 10, 2026 H ealth is an issue that I have written quite a lot about on this blog and that you may read more about here . In this post I have been asked in a letter to try to help a man sort out his health and his very sorted and immoral lifestyle. Now, I should warn or add, I guess, that I am not a medical professional—in the sense that I have been issued any kind of certificate or degree by the state , as I have stated elsewhere —and that you must take any and all advice you receive with caution, regardless of who it was that actually gave you the advice in the first place; indeed, you must always act with a certain amount of prudent circumspection before you allow other men to influence you, and indeed this applies to me as well.     Now, the question in the letter that addressed me can sometimes and in certain contexts come across as a little bit confusing, and the ques...
