Politics – Page 3

Metaphysical Paralysis

Next Step #412: From accidents to determinism, the factors that defy fatalism make for a background to a metaphysical analysis. The aftermath and afterglow of 101 years and counting. Political myth and hype that keeps the masses entertained. Opportunities missed and the next step.

Next Step #410: Quest for Peace – a different way of looking at responsibility in Artsakh & Armenia. As clergy are placed as props* in the grand opera, here’s a chance to reject political agendas and opt for self-determination in sync with Christ’s invitation. Taking Christ OUT of the Church is not too bad when you realize it’s demanded by Christ Himself. Much food for thought in this edition.
* Definition of Prop: a pole or beam used as a support or to keep something in position, typically one that is not an integral part of the thing supported.

Next Step #397: No statistician necessary for this one – we hit two jackpots in one-week, both with worse odds than the $1.5B PowerBall but with much bigger payouts. Life-stories from the world of Armodoxy and one from Las Vegas (at the border) – odds you can live with. Religion, politics and more.

Next Step #370: Eight Black Churches Burnt in 10 days – and the deafening silence of Orthodoxy. “The House that Love Built”; Beyond politics: the “Holiness Project” unveiled; Letter from Halo – thanks for the landmine clearance; God’s “Parial” Miracle and normalcy – from 0% chance of survival to life! The Church’s missing voice in #YerevanElectric.
