UpdatedAfter twenty years or so, the current editors of I-monk have decided to call it
quits. Internet Monk has attracted people who have either left Biblical
Orthodoxy or the faith itself. It's focus has been to blame evangelicalism for
their decisions. As I have pointed out in recent comments "Evangelicalism" has
become such a large tent that it is now very hard to define the limitations.
I-monkers have continued to assume it's very much like 70's fundamentalism. But
of course it is not.
In recent years my perception; I-monk is an informal wing
of the Democratic Party with a thin patina of progressive religiosity. With only
a couple of exceptions they hold to the liberal/progressive viewpoint of life;
Feminist, denying God's command that only within a male/female relationship is
sex permitted and suffer mightily from T.D.S [ Trump Derangement Syndrome. ]
They're a religious version of "Huffpo."
It is ultimately a depressing sight/site.
They have largely become "nones" or "dones." Their "Jesus shaped" spirituality
is Jesus without the bite. So many of the post and comments are actually angry,
dark and depressive. They have chosen the theological wilderness but don't
appear to recognize how very depressing that wilderness is.
I have accused them of "Sporting Life" theology. In the play/movie PORGY AND BESS,
one of the characters is "Sporting Life" who sings, "It ain't necessarily so; it
ain't necessarily so. The things that you liable to read in the Bible, well it
ain't necessaril so." That is truly the theology of I-monk. There is no rock
no anchor to hold on to. You are ultimately theologically adrift.

ELLEN PAGE
She has now lived her life as a female for 33 years.
She was born with the double XX female chromosone package. She was raised as a female. By Nature and by Nuture she can never be a biological male.
She announced she was a gay woman in 2014, now she announces she's transgender
"Page attended a Buddhist school in his youth and practiced meditation and yoga.[81] He practices a vegan lifestyle, and PETA named him and Jared Leto the Sexiest Vegetarians of 2014.[82] He is an atheist, having remarked that religion "has always been used for beautiful things, and also as a way to justify discrimination".[83] He describes himself as a pro-choice feminist.[84]" Wiki
___________
E. Page is the ultimate progressive checking off all the cultural boxes
For the I-monkers with a progressive viewpoint, she may present a problem. On the one hand most I-monkers understand how biology limits a person; I cannot be LeBron James and neither can you. I would hope the majority of you would, given the opportunity, discourage her from gender re-assignment surgery.
On the other hand, as a progressive, you must appear to support people like Ellen Page if she announces she is transgender.
My final thought/question. If Ellen goes thru the whole hormone, surgical procedure etc., will this fill the void for her? When she is 50, will she now feel whole and fulfilled?
I think Ellen is "lost in the Cosmos" desperate seeking to find out where she fits so she can be at peace. If she were my daughter, I would mourn over her struggle.S.G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09746381491495106590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247781546203078221.post-22298118974820523812020-11-06T03:38:00.003-08:002020-11-06T03:38:43.637-08:00Cheating in the Presidential elections?https://monsterhunternation.com/2020/11/05/the-2020-election-fuckery-is-afoot/S.G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09746381491495106590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247781546203078221.post-41356967304032123292020-10-31T09:32:00.001-07:002020-10-31T09:35:42.971-07:00If the Democrats take it all.ASSUMING DEMOCRATS REGAIN PRESIDENCY, HOUSE OF REPS AND SENATE:
THEY WILL RAISE TAXES - and it will impact the middle class [ always does, always has ].
For complex reasons I cannot explain, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates et al will lose not one thin dime
of their wealth though the tax change will be sold as making sure the wealthy pay their "fair share."
Somehow the wealthy's "fair share" inevitiably comes out of middle class pockets while Bezos and Gates
get ever richer. BTW, Bezos and Gates are not at all cheating, it's just the economic laws in place. ###
They will attempt to outlaw the manufacture of guns/ammo - just make gun manufactures
liable for deaths by gun and they will go bankrupt. [ This will not actually
solve the problem of 500 millions guns and a trillion bullets that are out there already ]
There will be laws passed insisting that people turn their guns in. 50 million people will
turn their guns in leaving 450 million guns unaccounted for. ###
They will allow anyone currently residing the in the USA to become citizens pretty much instantly.
They certainly will cease building the fence.###
The unelected bureacracy will be strengthed. ###
Labor parties will be strengthened; the "right to work" will be weakened. ###
FREEDOM of religion will exist ONLY for liberal religion; religion that supports sexual freedoms
and the LGBT etc. and their ever changing positions. ###
There will be ZERO restrictions on the killing of the Preborn. You wish to abort your child
because they are female instead of male- VOILA, no restrictions. The freedom to take the life
of your newborn - there will be restrictions on the books but no one will be found guilty of infanticide. ###
Ultimately ALL female athletic records will be held by people who were born with "junk" but
are women "at heart".
Sexual "equality" laws will be passed guaranteeing great inequality. ###
Heterosexual Caucasians are "sh*t out of luck." ###
The basic Judeo/Christian ethos of the founding documents must ultimately be purged.
The inherent Moral restrictions of the Judeo/Christian ethos must be jettisoned. ###
France's specifically secular government is to be established as the goal. ###
The New Green Deal will becomes the law of the land, the USA will bend to the world based
upon the assumptions of "Climate Change." The new Green Deal guarantees poverty for all but
the top 5%. ###
Coal, gas and oil production will plummet with the promise that windmills and solar panels are all
we need to keep our ACs, heaters and appliances running. [ How's that working out in California? ]
They will make it VERY expensive to own gasoline powered vehicles. [ The USA has certainly not
come to grips with the problem of doing away safely with old batteries and the expense of making
new ones. So far that requires humongous amounts of coal/gas/gasoline]. The government will
enforce the purchase of battery powered Yugos for every driveway [ except Bezos, Gates Et.Al. driveways] ###
Will all this happen immediately? No
Is that the progressive goal however? YES ###

And without that moral consistency, how can we have any ability to argue in the areas of personal morality, or help create the kind of worldview in our society that takes the morality of abortion seriously?
How can we pretend our concern for the unborn is part of a holistic concern for the dignity of all human life, when we vote for a man who mocks the disabled, and called reportedly soldiers who died for their country “suckers” and “losers”?
How can we say we care about the value of women, all women, and object to their objectification when we vote for a man who boasts about sexually assaulting women, and refers to 15 year old girls as “a piece of ass”? And who, by the way, does not repent of these things.
". ###
Trump is a seriously flawed human being. But if you're a Trump hater, what do you do about "Creepy
Uncle Joe," an equally seriously flawed human being. Logically speaking, you can't vote against
Trump due to his moral flaws yet vote for Creepy Uncle Joe despite his significant moral flaws. Comments
should be interesting.S.G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09746381491495106590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247781546203078221.post-43833778571396812852020-10-19T02:51:00.001-07:002020-10-19T02:51:13.325-07:00I monk pretends misogyny towards Amy Comey Barrett was never uttered by a commenterI called them on it and they simply erased the original comment and my response plus any others.
It's bad optics for a so-called Christian community to be caught calling an outstanding jurist,
professor of law at a world class institution, mother of 7 and devout Catholic a "bimbo." Since
they will not repudiate the bimbo comment, perhaps they secretly agree and are simply embarrassed
to be caught out in their own misogyny towards conservative women. Chaplain Mike, Geo Mike, Daniel
Jepsen, Mike Bell - any of you willing to publically call out miscogyny? Nah, you're not going
to do that and your female commenters - who knows what they think. ### But let's go ahead and talk

### Anonymous had written
"The day the fundamentalist-evangelicals walked towards Trump, they were walking AWAY
from their Christ AND THEIR WITNESS."
Apparently for progressive Christians, calling the female Supreme Court
Nominee a "bimbo" IS walking towards your Christian witness.

UPDATEI've always been amazed how easily progressive religionists, such as seen in the I-monk community,
are focused on other's sins; not acknowledging their own. ###
Reading the comments; no group of people
are more ignorant and lacking compassion then Evangelicals according to the hatestoppo.
Of note;
none of the editorial board at I-monk ever seems to rein them in and remind them of their own blind
sinfulness. ###
And of course, Trump hate runs particularly strong at this time though I have to admit; I don't
see anybody suggesting Joe is the answer. All they know is hate for Trump; which really isn't
a winning policy for leading the country if Joe is elected. But apparently if Trump is voted out
Utopia is immediately on it's way in. ### We'll see about that. But I DO encourage you to read
the comments and try to find any compassion for the Evangelical population.#### UPDATE
Adam calls 81 YEAR OLD John MacArthur a "dick" because Adam disagrees with MacArthur's historic and
orthodox position on Scripture. It would be nice if Adam apologized.

BUT HERE ARE THE FACTS as to the deadliness of this flu in these United States
The CDC last week posted its new estimate of the survival rates for COVID-19, broken up by age.
This link put those number in clear terms:
0-19 years: 99.997%
20-49 years: 99.98%
50-69 years: 99.5%
70+ years: 94.6%
Those numbers are practically identical to those of the flu. In other words, practically no one dies from it. It makes some people sick for a week or so, and then goes away.
And we have destroyed western civilization over this. It boggles the mind (for those who are still using it).
The worst part is that no one will believe me. Instead, too many will be outraged that anyone would even hint that this virus is not the plague.

So you're trusting the "narrative" of a wicked man who blasphemes the blood of Christ, lies that we can take the mark and still be saved, and tells his congregation there IS no pandemic (I recently lost a friend to Covid),and as if ALL THIS us not enough, actually tells his congregation "The good news is you're NOT wearing masks and are not social distancing."
