Hi, Fediverse! #Introduction time: I'm a political junkie from #America who doesn't fit easily into today's boxes:

I try to respect the dignity of other people even if I disagree with them. #ImagoDei
I'm a #prolife #conservative with a #libertarian / #ClassicalLiberal bent.
I embrace being a #Neocon internationally (pro-#NATO, pro-#Ukraine #NAFO , pro-#Israel , pro-#Canada , anti-#terrorism).
I'm a #Christian who dislikes when people confuse Biblical principles with political preferences. I try to distinguish between the two in my takes.
I don't criticize things just because #DonaldTrump or #JoeBiden said them -- I disagree when they go against my principles.

I also really love #barbecue , #music spanning pop to classical and enjoy writing. My takes on the world sometimes appear on @ofb — drop by and say hi to the whole gang over there!

(I realize I've been remiss to post an introduction after several months on the #Fediverse, so better late than never, right? #newhere)

James Ramsay, Anglican priest and ship’s surgeon, objects to the slave trade. Besides the objections in inhumanity (he has cataloged in other sections), it makes no economic sense to beat and starve and then expect productivity out of a group of people. This “pushing method” defeated its purpose.

How can you avoid “this pushing method” in home, school, work, and church?

Is the human mind merely a sophisticated biological computer or something more profound? The imago dei suggests a divine imprint on our consciousness. What do you think? Are we more than chemical impulses?. #consciousness #imagodei #scienceandfaith
