"I delayed the concluding part of this series long enough to begin doubting the possibility that I would actually set aside time to complete it. But what series readers may have thought impossible is now done." davidmhodges.com/self-evident-n…

I neglected to share the next in the series: davidmhodges.com/self-evident-n… Excerpt: "Tradition tells us why what is is, how what is came to be, but it doesn’t tell us what should be."

New #blog post: davidmhodges.net/self-evident-n… Excerpt: "I admit that I find it difficult to believe that the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence is anything but the eloquent statement of natural-rights doctrine that the conservative declarationists assert it to be."

New Post: On the Impossibility of Productive Discussions in YouTube Comments. Excerpt: Do we really have to limit our options to these two, anti-Israel noninterventionism or pro-Israel interventionism?.... Link: davidmhodges.net/on-the-impossi… #Israel #AmericaFirst #AmericaLast

P.S. Here is the video I linked to illustrating how love of unjust forgiveness has begun corrupting Christian doctrine: youtu.be/z9DE0nOiD-E?si…. In terms of historical, orthodox Christian doctrine, God has ensured that HIS forgiveness is always ENTIRELY just.

The 2nd concerned the widely publicized, & among Christians widely praised, announcement by Erica Kirk that she forgives the man who murdered her husband. This compulsion to announce forgiveness for unrepentant evildoers seems to be unjust & to claim moral authority no human has.

I commented on a couple YouTube vids today. As I do this so rarely anymore, I though I'd mark the occasion by making note of them on X, which I now also use rarely. The 1st, which YT seems to have blocked, concerned a popular branch of comparative religion: health & nutrition. 🥗

@NutritionMadeS3 Actually, it's the Gerson *Institute* Archive. Sorry. Here's my copy of the comment for reference, in case my above attempt to summarize missed anything else. The therapy still has adherents, though I don't know how many.

@NutritionMadeS3 FYI, the video to debunk was this one: youtu.be/D-2eaxYTw-Y. I also suggested that you might want to do a more comprehensive debunking of content in the Gerson Therapy Archive, since a search of your YT channel showed no matches for the keyword "Gerson."

Update 3/3 Re Israel, Gaza: "an evildoer willing to kill a hostage if a protagonist doesn’t drop his weapon will also be willing to kill the protagonist" ∴ "a protagonist who drops his weapon is acting in an irrational & immoral fashion" → take the shot davidmhodges.net/a-better-analo…

Newly posted: I Still Have Issues: Further Remarks on Established Themes — Part 4. Excerpt: “people who accuse others of being ‘KJV only’ use the aspersion with neither consistency nor clarity.” Link: davidmhodges.net/i-still-have-i… #Christian #Bible #Theology #KJV

I Still Have Issues: Further Remarks on Established Themes — Part 3 is now up. Excerpt: The Bible believer, of necessity, has an unshakable precommitment to reading every text of Scripture in a way that harmonizes with every other text. Link: davidmhodges.net/i-still-have-i… #theology

Today I finished part 3 of the old post I've been reworking for better online reading. It discusses C. S. Lewis by examining John Robbins's Lewis-critical paper. Topics include justification by faith alone & the fate of those who never hear about Jesus. davidmhodges.net/hoping-the-bes…

I'm (still) reworking an old post for better online reading. The post discusses C. S. Lewis through examination of a John Robbins paper highly critical of Lewis. Formerly 1 post, it's now a series of 3. Here is part 2, which I finished updating today: davidmhodges.net/hoping-the-bes…

“While today’s social media amplifies the most extreme, least prudent voices on every topic, these voices do not deserve their prominence. Incautious extremism is not a mark of mature thought; it is the hallmark of adolescents.” Read in context, & more: davidmhodges.net/i-still-have-i…
