The Planet of the Apes: Bible Study

Garbage Guts 10: 10 pm post dinner  and after church meal.

While at a post church event, at a local pub, Mr. Guts devoured Chicken and Waffles, after 10 pm.

This event had nothing to do with The Planet of the Apes, event of weeks ago.

Chucky played The Planet of the Apes 'horn' in the pub, via You Tube.

John and Chuck reminisced in sadness over the decline of the 'Apes' event, which was a one time only event. At least for us. And now for all, it is over. 'Dirty apes!'

John stated he had nightmares for the next week following our one and only visit to The Planet of the Apes. Note; The context is hygiene!

Facts should be allowed to beat up opinions

Jeff Jenkins

Apart from presentations that promote unlawful violence, in a Western context, opinions should be allowed to be freely expressed in a public forum. Every worldview and philosophy should be up for debate in a public forum.

Facts should be allowed to beat up opinions.

Private contexts have orthodoxy (Orthodox doctrine within the Christian Church, for example) for membership.

A public context should not have the same level of forced orthodoxy, as a private context with a more specific membership. Canadian citizenship, for example, requires allegiance to the State, but not a specific worldview.

(This idea, in part, based on an online chat I had with a good English friend, yesterday.)

Obey the blue light

This evening, while buying cheaper gas out of Metropolitan Vancouver, on the long way home after academic work and an evening church service.

With any progress there is usually a negative. My 'newish' Nissan SUV has a 'blue light' alarm (Satanic?) that will go off unless the truck is opened by the fob and closed by the fob. If someone tries to break in or some 'fool' tries to open the SUV door normally with the key (Apparently both have already occurred), the alarm takes over. The mechanic told me it was a high-end, after-market alarm and work keeping. According to the mechanic, if the alarm is set-off, some Kingpin has to sit in detention in the truck for fifteen minutes plus, with engine running, while the alarm goes on and off. This can both entertain and irritate the public. The alarm may then resume normal programming, but one must open and close the truck with fob only and one must never, ever, ever, let the battery in the fob die or else Kingpin will be back in detention. Obey the blue light...Actual product not shown.

US: 110 Million S.T.D. Infections, Estimated

'The incidence of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis is increasing, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At any given time, there are an estimated 110 million sexually transmitted infections in the United States.'

Cited '

Rates of syphilis increased in every age group and all races, and they were highest among people in their twenties. The number of babies born infected with syphilis increased to 628 cases in 2016, from 492 in 2015 — each case, in Dr. Bolan’s words, “a needless tragedy.” ”The enormity of the S.T.D. epidemic requires everyone play a role in reversing these trends,” Dr. Bolan said.'

'Correction: October 3, 2017

An earlier version of this story misstated the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. There are 110 million such infections, not 110 million people with infections, at any given time. (Some people may have more than one infection.)'

'There are 110 million such infections, not 110 million people with infections'

I actually had that thought as I read the article for the first time. Then there is HIV infection as well.

Hmm, compare numbers to population. Devastating.

Now there is an advertisement to follow the biblical model to avoid fornication and adultery (Exodus 20, Matthew 5, 1 Corinthians 5-6 as examples).

Being a youthful adult, technically too old for young adults ministry, this article is another cumulative point in support of my dating theology/philosophy. Any possible romantic relationship should likely be with someone less sexually experienced than average (with minimal experience), with the significant possibility of it being someone significantly younger and less experienced than average.

'Rates of syphilis increased in every age group and all races, and they were highest among people in their twenties.'

Yes, and this risk increases for someone in their twenties that becomes older and is still sexually active outside of biblical marriage.

Sometimes, theological/philosophical common sense does not fit into cultural norms.
