The ramblings of a diseased mind. Tuesday, 16 April 2013. Some lives are worth more than others. Why is a Kundunese life worth less to me than an American life? I don't know, Sir, but it is."- Will Bailey. The West Wing, season 4 episode 13]. Why does it seem that our western tragedies eclipse the tragedy elsewhere? Why is an "American" (western) life worth more than an Iraqi life? Tragedy surrounds us in this world. We must be careful we don't become complacent or ignorant to it, just because it oft...

The ramblings of a diseased mind: September 2011

The ramblings of a diseased mind. Wednesday, 28 September 2011. The Disgusting Practice of Nepotism.in the Church! Favouritism shown to relatives or close friends by those with power or influence. I recently started work for the South Eastern Education Board, and about a month in, I am finding it to be a great challenge. So different from Church youth work, and I can really feel myself being stretched and new skill sets being acquired on an almost daily basis (mostly paperwork I might add! I took a break...

The ramblings of a diseased mind: June 2013
http://molar-speaks.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a diseased mind. Tuesday, 25 June 2013. Firstly I have to recognise that sometimes I do go out of my way to be provocative (no shock there)! Often my aim is to provoke people by some outrageous statement, which hopefully leads them into an exploration of why they were shocked, and to consider the points being made in the whole article. However, I realise that sometimes it's not the content that matters, but the headline. What do my headlines say to people? Lord help me to see it. As a sc...

The ramblings of a diseased mind. Tuesday, 30 June 2009. The arrogance of youth. I mean, what makes these kids think that I. Really want to listen to their music, which quite often has the musical quality of a hammer banging on a sheet of metal whilst someone runs a screwdriver down it! Don't get me wrong, I happen to think I have a pretty decent taste in music, and it is as varied as it is good! But kids these days? Sheesh, most of them have an awful sense of what constitutes what makes 'good music'!

The ramblings of a diseased mind: The Church between the Cross and the Empty Grave
http://molar-speaks.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-church-between-cross-and-empty-grave.html
The ramblings of a diseased mind. Friday, 29 March 2013. The Church between the Cross and the Empty Grave. It was a crisp Friday afternoon in November. The people of Dallas had turned out to see their leader, a popular hero to many. Flags were waving, people were smiling and there was a buzz in the air. At 12:29 pm, the leader’s limousine entered. Many loved him, and even his rivals had to acknowledge his popularity to the masses. Imagine for a moment that on the Sunday 24. However, for the Christian the...

The ramblings of a diseased mind: August 2012
http://molar-speaks.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a diseased mind. Thursday, 9 August 2012. Church and the Beast within. The Beast is not a Legend. Could the modern day Church be the Beast itself? I'll warn you at outset that there is a ranty kinda flavour to this blog. As always, I invite people to offer their input, and I know I don't speak from any real place of authority. I'm just a guy with some questions and very few answers. Setting aside for a moment the discussion about the rights and wrongs around. What do we get out of. For m...

The ramblings of a diseased mind: October 2008
http://molar-speaks.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a diseased mind. Saturday, 25 October 2008. Taking a break from all your worries. Gosh, how the world seems to have changed over the last year! That being said, I do have LOADS on at the moment. I am preparing to take a youth weekend with a Church in Antrim. I am looking forward to it, but seeing as it is my first time doing a weekend, I am more than a little apprehensive. But hey, the way I will look at it is just a series of conversations (which I am more than good at! The Book of Eli.

The ramblings of a diseased mind: December 2009
http://molar-speaks.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a diseased mind. Thursday, 10 December 2009. Merry Christmas your arse' and the hypocrisy of being a Christian. Don't get me wrong, my understanding of God allows me to imagine the great delight he takes in when we encounter real and genuine community that happens especially at Christmas. This is a good thing and should be encouraged more often. However, in the same sense, I imagine his heart breaks when he sees us becoming so focused on trivial things. Is that what it has become? If you...

http://molar-speaks.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a diseased mind. Thursday, 8 April 2010. Revelation: Literally Real, or Really Literal. Ok folks, it's new post time. I know you can hardly contain your excitement since the last, back before Christmas, but I am sure I can whet your appetites for the next couple of months.or maybe not! Anyway, Christmas has been and gone. Grumpy times over. I am on my second haircut of the year (only another 2 or 3 to go), and life moves on into the monotony of routine. Is it a literal account of the end...
