The focus on my writing shall be anything that I deem interesting and hope you do too. My writings include observations seen through the eyes of this Roman Catholic Generation X male.
I've always enjoyed conversing about religion and politics, the two great taboos of conversation! However what I find ironic is that religion and politics, just happen to be the two most important topics. Everything (literally) stems from our view of life and religion and politics are the two lens from which we see with depth. Unfortunately these terms "religion" and "politics" have been tainted by "the masses." Consequently I have two choices, keep using the term or find alternative words that speak to the point still the same. So I choose the later...
Religion is not some out-dated institutional hierarchy of ancient precepts. But because "religion" is tainted as such, I must find a new word that means what "religion" is truly about. That meaning will be a subject of a future blog. My alternative is "the soul." Perhaps a bit intimidating, but weighty enough to bear the significance of it meaning.
Politics is not opinionated and contradictory rhetoric by some over-zealous and selfish opportunist who is typically a lawyer. But because "politics" is thus tainted, I must again find a new word that means what "politics" is truly about. Its meaning will also be a subject of a future blog. My alternative is "the body." Perhaps too enigmatic, but again I do believe in time it will become acceptable.
So my final analysis is that the person is both body and soul; and thus must and always in fact speaks of both politics and religion in every conversation. We just are ashamed to admit it. And with what we done to the meaning of these words, it is no surprise that we continue to lie to ourselves. Thus I tell the truth, as I see it.
