Parable of the Unrighteous Duke (by me)

This generation might be likened unto a duke who told a land-owner that he was not allowed to dig a well on his own property. When the landowner asked the Duke why, the Duke threatened to seize his property if he ever dug a well on the land. The landowner went to the Governor and requested that he overturn the Duke's ruling. The governor said, "You may not dig a well there. However, there is treasure buried there." Neither did the Governor prohibit him from digging up the treasure. The Duke wondered why the Governor told him about the treasure because the Duke's love was cold.

Link to my new book- "The Semantolkino'hara and Its Applications"

The book has a been long time in the works, and you can get it now on magcloud. Thanks to the many who helped. This book is what The Glorious Scenario magazine was supposed to be. It makes a more concise statement than a multi-issue journal, though. The raw creative materials involved in the discussion have many applications and tie-ins across subject areas. The template of the semantolkino'hara will give its user acumen. The Semantolkino'hara and Its Applications: The Eschaton, Musicology, and The Name of God By David Black 122 pages, published 10/10/2014 A practical music theory and composition system became a template for understanding a union between disciplines- music history, musicology, eschatology, social science, and more. The whole effort started with a simple serial analysis of Trish Phan's "A Letter" and became a huge undertaking once the implications...

Personality Types and the Fall of Man Argument

There will be some who will want to say that I was being illogical or unbiblical when I wrote the post about how personality differences get misunderstood. Their argument is basically that differing personalities are a consequence of the Fall of Man- a consequence of the DNA getting disordered. Therefore, they will say, that people who don't fit the "perfect personality" are sinful. God created one man, they will say, with a perfect personality (Adam). In truth, they can cite Adam, Eve, and Jesus. That argument is not correct, and I will stand my ground on this. The reason why they are not correct is because they are making the unwarranted assumption all of Adam's descendants would have had the same personality had the Fall never happened. I can say with a fair degree of certainty that had the Fall never happened, there would have been different kinds of people with different personalities, it just would have been a more perfect world. ...

Nice Dissenting Opinion on the Fairness of the Criminal Justice System

I was recently having a conversation with someone about the possibility for unreliability and/or unfairness in the criminal justice system. I was reminded of this quote from a Supreme Court case which is from Justice Harry Blackmun's dissenting opinion. The case was Darden v. Wainwright 477 U.S. 168 (1986). Obviously he's talking about the Supreme Court level, but if this could be said about their accuracy, then how shall we communicate about fairness at the trial court level? "JUSTICE BLACKMUN, with whom JUSTICE BRENNAN, JUSTICE MARSHALL, and JUSTICE STEVENS join, dissenting. Although the Constitution guarantees a criminal defendant only "a fair trial [and] not a perfect one," Lutwak v. United States, 344 U. S. 604 , 344 U. S. 619 (1953); Bruton v. United States, 391 U. S. 123 , 391 U. S. 135 (1968), this Court has stressed repeatedly in the decade since Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153 (1976), that ...
