Opines On Super Bowl Sunday

Google+Reminds of a certain winding road  in Washington  State after the Rush concert...






































Seattle Seahawks versus Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl

Canadian Football League, Grey Cup equivalent...

Calgary Stampeders versus British Columbia Lions, minus several hundred million dollars in franchise values...
















Looks like the Broncos spent a bit more on logo design than the Stampeders. I have liked the Calgary logo though, but it is more simplistic than the Denver logo.

I am not a American Football or Canadian Football fan. I will usually watch the Super Bowl and that is about it.

Of course I like European Football, but too bad Manchester United has tanked. Glad for the Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

By the way, at secondary school I saw the Seattle Seahawks play the British Columbia Lions...at basketball.

Lions won, which would not be the case in an American football game. In a Canadian game, the Lions might have a slight chance.

Woody Allen: The Star

Cited:

'NEW YORK—Dylan Farrow renewed molestation allegations against Woody Allen, claiming the movie director sexually assaulted her when she was 7 after he and actress Mia Farrow adopted her. In an open letter to The New York Times posted online Saturday, Dylan Farrow made her first public comments about the 1992 incident. In a letter to op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof, she said she was moved to speak out because of Hollywood’s continued embrace of Allen.'

'Allen was investigated on child molestation claims for the alleged 1992 incident in Connecticut, but prosecutors elected not to charge him.'

 'The 1992 allegation came shortly after Allen became involved with Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. Allen, then in his mid-50s, was not the adoptive father of Previn, who was about 19 at the time. The two married in 1997 and have two adopted daughters.'

I make no claims in specific regard to the case, other than it is of course very suspicious. But as a philosopher, theologian and academic I need to be careful opining.

However, Biblically all sexual activity outside of heterosexual adult marriage in sinful (Genesis 2, Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5, Matthew 5). Matthew 5 indicating sexual thought sin would be a universal human problem even apart from physical acts.

Child to child, pre-puberty sexual attraction, although limited and immature, and again all Biblical sexual activity should be in adult marriage, may be deemed as natural, but adult to child sexual attraction in my mind is obviously sinful and likely I deduce, not being a mental health professional, connected to mental illness as in psychological disorder.

Mental illness not in my mind excluding the guilt of sinful choices. Not an excuse.

A case like this not only demonstrates in general terms, supposed or actual, sexual sin and perversion, but looking at the Biblical verses, the absolute holiness of God in contrast to the universal sinfulness in nature, will and choices of humanity.

Therefore, Romans 1-6, persons are saved through the atonement and the imputed justification and righteousness of Christ.

Not by self-righteousness and works.

Hmm, could have been played at BC Place-Google Images
Google Images-Was the Super Bowl the high part of the sports year?
Google Images-Twice with Uncle Chuck I have driven back from a Rush show late night from Auburn, Washington. The amount of apparently stoned drivers from the Amphitheatre was frightening.  The second trip while leaving I had to go through a red light after initially stopping, with no other traffic around, because some supposed 'pothead' behind me was not about to stop in time. I did not want to be rear-ended at 50 miles per hour. The police should be targeting such people.
