Never google yourself. You’ll be in for unpleasant surprises.
Here are a few:
Some blog post refers to me as a CIA2/Mossad operative.
On the strength of what, I wonder? Shouldn’t a Mossad operative at least know some Hebrew?
Maybe it was that post on Tikkun Olam I did around Easter?
You’d think the chump editor who runs this blog would realize that someone who taught comparative religion and mythology for several years could be expected to know something about the symbols and doctrines of various religious traditions, especially the one they came from.
Or, perhaps it’s a spoof of some kind that I missed. I didn’t read the post through and don’t intend to. It didn’t look like much.
What’s funny is I get articles turned down all the time for being too critical of Zionist figures in the government (for eg. Chertoff) or for criticizing the banking cartel (this is supposed to be code language for anti-Semitism).
What’s also funny is that recently, I’ve been linked by Christian blogs, some of my leftist friends have suspected me of Christian theocratic tendencies (on the strength of having some pieces published at Lew Rockwell) , whereas, last year, a Christian blog classified me as “demonic,” presumably for my interest in so-called occult studies.
So I am Mossad and anti-Semite, Christian theocrat and demonic
Jihadi and Hasbara
Far-right wing-nut and Knee-jerk leftist
You’d think the geniuses would ask why a Mossad double-agent would go to such career-busting trouble to point out the Zionist component of the two biggest stories of the last five years (torture and the financial heist. But, for some people, any one who doesn’t fall into an easy left-right, religious-secular, statist-libertarian box is someone who must have ulterior motives…..
Lila, my advice comes straight from the poet Jimi Hendrix:
Wave your freak flag high.
Lila,
Note that _I_ have never called you a Christian, though I do link to your site. (I note that you did not claim that I did, just making sure!) Honestly you are puzzling at times, but you think and help your readers think, and that is good.
Some blog post refers to me as a CIA2/Mossad operative. Wow – you are really “out there”! (Note to self, I need to somehow purge all contact I have had with Lila …)
The howling beast, next to your photo – is that the Antichrist?
Greg
Note that _I_ have never called you a Christian…
To state more clearly, I have not hung any religious label on you – Christian, Jew, Hindu, Pagan, or whatever.
Jeff –
I don’t concede the label at all. When society turns freakish, the “freaks” are really the only sane people.
Greg –
I changed the term “christian” to theocrat because that was closer to what I was trying to get at.
I do consider myself a Christian, if by Christian you mean someone who can accept and profess the Nicene Creed. Well, I can do that.
My interpretation of the creed probably differs vastly from many fundamentalist interpretations and leaves me free to accept other tenets of belief (and non-belief) which they might not…
So I consider myself a Christian (a feeble, failing Christian, but a Christian nonetheless)…
My problem has never been with the supernatural in the Gospel. The usual mantra from sceptics is that they can accept Jesus’ ethics but the miracles stick in their throats. My position is the reverse. I’ve never had a problem with Jesus’ miracles (he’s God isn’t he?) – my problem is with his ethics – which I think are quite distorted by many preachers.
I think the Judaic element of Jesus is downplayed. The extent to which he builds on Mosaic law.
I come from that position not because I’m hasbarah or a covert Zionist but because of my acceptance of (or at least persuasion by) by several Hindu doctrines.
And those doctrines bolster a more “Jewish” Jesus than we’ve been given (or at least, I was given)
…a feeble, failing Christian, but a Christian nonetheless…
Is there any other kind? Anyone who wasn’t probably isn’t.
