A Pagan Reads John, V: The Kingdom of God
Joannes tells us that many Jews at this time, seeing the signs, put their trust in Jesus. I asked a Roman friend, familiar with the sect, what they meant by “put their trust,” and he used the Roman verb “credere,” but that rathe begs the question. I don’t have to tell you that our word pisteuo does not mean simply to think something is so, as in, “I believe you are right” or “I believe Socrates is wise” or “Zeus is god.”….
A Pagan Reads John, IV: The First Sign

Autodidact: Shakespeare Against the Whigs
Part II added 2 February
In the bad old days, so the argument runs, there was no equality of rights, and people were judged on the basis of status. All that was eliminated in the quest for law, and we now live in a country where people cannot claim privileges and advantages on the strength of their sex, gender, race, religion, or ethnicity.

Kraut Panzers to Ukraine Again
Hmmm. Where have we seen this before? German panzers rumbling eastward through Ukraine toward Russia. Let me think. Hmmmm.
