I am a retired pastor living on the side of a sleepy volcano in the Visayas. Social Gospel? Liberation Theology? The Transnational Capitalist Class. How do we live a life that benefits us, not the TCC.

Karuna — feel the pain of others and do something about it.
Karuna is the way—do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with God; compassion conquers conflict.

Jesus is a quintessential divine feminine. His followers follow the divine masculine. It's not surprising they're kind of screwed up. brianstabletalk.blogspot.com/2026/06/this...

Jesus is the Divine feminine. Yet his Followers follow the Divine Masculine. It's no wonder our world is in a mess.

The Stoics have their way, those who follow any of the Abrahamic faiths have their own. I'm not here to tell you who's right or wrong but I am here to tell you that you need to get trained up before you can be free from your oppressors brianstabletalk.blogspot.com/2026/06/epic...

I do not believe that the God of love is on the side of either Israel or Iran.
Early on in their history Christians needed to justify warfare. It's called the theory of just war. Israel and Iran fall far short .
