Who needs the notion of the burden of millions of the Grand Inquisitor of Dostoyevsky when you have the preachings of Billy Graham?

Many good people are unable to express themselves without clichés, standard ideas, emotions and expressions. But they and most don’t notice.

There is a deep inner world of difference whether one views Augustine as Saint, “Church Father”, or a man in his time.

At each of the “historic locations” to which I traveled in search of History… I never could readily leave until I had sought to try to absorb an essence which in all probability was long since not, if ever, there.

The problem of the ontos of ruins.

The unconscious assumptions, or beliefs, which I bore in all of these searchings at the locations of stone remnants…

Even only the introduction to Herbert Butterfield’s 1949 Christianity and History, plus my readiness now, allows me to recognize how journeys to Mount Sinai, or Jerusalem, or Rome, or Alexandria, or… are searching in the matters of history for Meaning and Sense that far transcends them.

This is not like searching in nature for God around Walden Pond, nor diving into the Self in Varanasi.

To how many is it not realized that an incidental, dabbling knowledge of history, social life, human nature, world events,…do not constitute an opinion, much less a view, worthy of being taken seriously.

Most I know in the South could hardly live with the death of God, which Friedrich Nietzsche is famous for having proclaimed. His “madman” would virtually necessarily be rejected in the soul-searching and social churches still today.

And, of course, Nietzsche lived the last 10 years of his life in silence.

As of now images, videos, and photos will become increasingly unbelievable.

Human progress.

One president deserves prison for fraud and a coup attempt.

One president deserves prison for murder, and manipulation of state.

Russians throughout the entire world should feel deep and profound shame. Those who don’t, are not worthy of boasting they are Russian.
