Short philosophical bullets in the snow: Merry Christmas 2022


• In regards to the first TikTok video, I am not embracing any views of the late John Wayne.

• As I have noted, online and offline, as a biblical Christian of the Reformed tradition, I reason...

• Galatians 3:28 New American Standard Bible 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is [a]neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Footnotes Galatians 3:28 Lit not male and female

• There is no gender or 'race' (ethnic group) not fit for the gospel and Kingdom of God.

• That being stated, the comedian's cancel culture comments are IMHO, hilarious.

• Instead of seeking to 'cancel' perceived negative views of the past and present; critics should leave these opposing views for public consumption.

• These views should be allowed to stay publicly extant, and simultaneously be allowed to be intellectually challenged.

• There is within various western legal jurisdictions, slander and libel laws, for example, which already significantly handle actual cases of what is called 'hate speech'.

• In regards to the second Tik Tok video. I have no interest in attacking anyone.

• But in agreement with my points from the first video, at times people are worthy of legitimate, intellectual critique for views held to and actions taken.

• No exceptions...
