Fighting a Bear/Chuck Norris v Bear

Facebook image, thank you to my friend Mike Krueger for posting the image.

IMHO, if any kind of legal, self-defence weapon against a bear is going to be employed, it should be minimally, a distance weapon with immediate stun (then run) capability. Definitely not close in fighting techniques.

The time Documentary Man & I, met two young women from the Jersey Shore in NYC: 'Your friend is really weird!'

• The time Documentary Man & I, met two young women from the Jersey Shore in NYC: 'Your friend is really weird!' 

• I heard recently, another version of the classic story of someone marrying the first woman that showed interest in him, and later regretting it.

• By God's grace, I have missed that... 

• In Christ, from a Christian perspective, let the wrong ones pass you by...

• When I was closer to being a 'baby philosopher', pre PhD, I was still on Christian dating sites.

• As a more mature philosopher now, I have zero toleration for dating sites.

• To be blunt, I prefer no deal, to a bad deal.

• For me relying on similar age and supposed same level of looks = bad deal.

• When I was closer to being a 'baby philosopher', my good friend from England, Documentary Man and I, visited NYC.

• We viewed a Yankees game in the Bronx.

• We did the Manhattan tour.

• I reluctantly agreed to meet with someone from a Christian dating site, from New Jersey.

• As a Hollywood actor friend states of many of his projects: 'This will go straight down the toilet.', was my thinking.

• Documentary Man and I met this young woman and her friend at the Empire State Building.

• Her friend in particular, was extremely disinterested in being social.

• The two young women pulled me aside and stated (paraphrased) 'Your friend is really weird!' 

• (Paraphrased) 'You are normal.', I was told.

• Immediately after an approximately 30 minute visit on the top of the Empire State Building, as we got back to the street, the two young women told us they needed to go.

• My good friend, 'Documentary Man' begged them to stay, as (paraphrased) my friend is here from British Columbia.

• I told him that it was okay, (paraphrased) let them leave...

• We had polite goodbyes and I was soon off that website...

• French cuisine is NYC...A+.

• That same trip Documentary Man became embroiled in a massive religion debate @ a Manhattan, McDonalds with a ticked off Hare Krishna. 

• Me later to Documentary Man (paraphrased): There is no point trying to beat that guy into the Kingdom of God.

• 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence which we have [a]before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. New American Standard Version I John 5: 13-15 

• 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. English Standard Version I John 5: 13-15

Is this some kind of cult?

Image two from Facebook, thanks to Pastor David Pitman. 'Kool.'
Image three from Bored Panda: I am more concerned that the man in the image makes me think of Vladimir Lenin.
Image four from Bored Panda: If a person embraced my academic work, he/she would realize that existence is not a matter of libertarian free will.

Secular opinion: Dark Age in Society

 

Secular opinion: Dark Age in Society

Disclaimer 

I think this is a good, reasonable and short, secular opinion in regards to discussing a Dark Age in Society. I do not formally hold to a Red Pill worldview, as Taylor the Fiend represents. I hold to a New Testament, Biblical worldview within the Reformed tradition. I do not think Taylor is promoting the occult, or practices the occult. His imagery is used to conceal his identity, and is more comparable to using Dr. Strange or Dracula imagery from Marvel Comics than actual occultism. As the video is secular and not Christian, or evangelical Christian, the discussion is more crude than would be typical church discussion. The views expressed in the video seem, secular and moderately, conservative with an attempt at being highly rational. In regards to the world system, this video and many of the videos on his channel in general, express aspects of the truth.
