Internet Monk closing its doors. Updated

After 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.

Censored by Internetmonk

[ deemed inappropriate for Saturday free-for-all ] 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.
