Not Worth the Time

By -




From a reader:
"Just came across your blog a few days ago. Was reading a lot of the older stuff. Came across several posts on Calvinism and other religious things. Are you just not religious any more, or what?" 

Fair question. 

The truth is, Calvinism simply doesn't interest me in the least. It is heretical teaching, brought to us by St. Augustine, very likely from his Manichaean roots. John Calvin was, in modern terms, nothing more than a glorified griefer (who was willing to kill others to make them have grief). Not ironically, virtually every Calvinist I've ever met was similarly a griefer. They side-eye you because they know they are weird, and they don't want you to know that they are weird. That let's you know... that they are weird. 

Also, someone that has to do a second conversion on a Christian... again, weird. 

So, I will call out those things that deviate from norms, and are illogical. Calvinism is still exactly that. 

Funny aside, in a similar vein. Someone I know who is Calvinist (and a griefer, and weird) always posts quotes from other Calvinists, to the exclusion of all others. Well, he posted one the other day that was not from a Calvinist. I said something about it in the comments. Within 10 minutes, the whole post was removed. 

When you stop giving people the negative attention they seek, good comes from that.

This Will Trigger The Weak

Seen on Social Media: Your Wife Is Your First Daughter—Treat Her Like a Baby, Or She’ll Break Your Home Let’s scatter the woke table: Your wife is not your equal. She’s not your therapist. And she’s definitely not your homeboy. She’s your first daughter—emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. And the moment you start expecting her to “reason like a man” or “carry half the weight,” you’ve already lost. The modern man is confused. He's told to be vulnerable, yet punished when he shows weakness. Told to be “emotionally available,” yet abandoned when he starts crying like a choirboy. Let’s get this straight: Women were designed to be nurtured. Not negotiated with. Let’s break it down like a real father would. — 1. Every Woman Is a Grown Baby Looking for Emotional Security She’ll talk tough. She’ll claim she’s independent. But when the bills land or the pressure hits? She’s curled up in your arms, needing your shoulder—and your wallet. Why? Because biologically, her system runs on h...

A Few Updates on an Older Post

By -
This post to serve as an update on a post that is over 10 years old. The Rifleman has a strong memory (from time to time). On that post, a reader asked, "Any word? How did the remand hearing go?" For reasons that are not pertinent to this post, the Rifleman did not neglect to answer this question, but instead, postponed the answer until a more appropriate time. This time has come.  In the remand, it is important to first state a particular fact: The judge that issued the ruling, Tom Gray, retired shortly after his errant ruling. As a matter of fact, four of his last five rulings (the author's brother's ruling being one of these) were overturned in appellate courts. Divorce ruling appeal successful . In a move that still strikes this author as exceptionally odd, Gray  requested to be the judge on the remand hearing. Brother's lawyer argued that it is extremely peculiar to allow a civilian to hear a divorce remand, and the Sumner county Court agreed, and the sittin...

Polar Opposites

My friend, Lefty, had a darn good post a couple of days ago. Let's go into why it was such a good post.  Meeting Your Polar Opposite Polar Opposites For starters, people who cannot see past the surface might notice that Lefty is a self-described introvert. This author is a self-described extrovert. That would be "polar opposite."  Climate Change Next up, Lefty made the post, which has many references to the farce that is the claim of manmade climate change. Not only that, but Lefty's post was on March 12. That date marked 32 years since the Blizzard of '93 hit most of Tennessee. In that blizzard, Chattanooga got 18 inches of snow in 12 hours - I know because I was living there at the time. Were such an event to happen today, the Leftists would be screaming bloody-murder about manmade climate change.  Chemtrails Last part that made Lefty's post so good was he took a swing at the folks on the right who believe in chemtrails. For clarity, my conspiracy-theorist ...
