A Pagan Reading of John: The Dipper
The first incident in Jesus’ life recorded by John is the dipping ritual performed by one Ioannes, who is not the same person as the writer.

America in Chains, IV
The most obvious indication of subjugation by whatever means is the end of traditional law and custom, which are replaced by the whim of the sovereign, whether sovereignty be exercised by one man, or several, or a by party or faction or sect.
America in Chains, III
If we survey human history, looking for examples of subjugation, there is no lack of material: the Children of Israel in Egypt and later under the rule of Babylonians, Persians, Babylonians, and Romans; the not-quite indigenous peoples of the Americas, subjugated by European colonists…

America In Chains, Part II
Among the more childish fantasies of the American Right is their obsession with Cultural Marxism. They quote Gramsci as if his second-rate and derivative writings were Holy Writ, and they boldly prophesy that once they have slain the beast of Cultural Marxism we can all get together in an orgy of American Greatness.

The Two-Party Coalition to Destroy Marriage, Part II
Henry VIII’s divorce was only a prelude to his subsequent divorces and remarriages–to say nothing of the judicial murders of two of the women he claimed to be his wives, and it was a symbolic beginning of the mischief, when political rulers, in pursuing their own interests, seized power not just over the church but over the institution of marriage.
The Two-Party Coalition to Destroy Marriage, Part I
For decades I have been studying the institution of marriage, and when, about a dozen years ago, conservative Republicans began agitating for laws defining and strengthening marriage, I attempted to make an argument, rooted in human history and biology and framed by the Christian tradition, that government intervention would only make matters much worse.
