Welcome to my newly created blog. I've tried to do blogs in the past, but have never been very good at keeping them going. My hope is that I will be able to remain more consistent on this one.
I am not crazy, though many would say I probably don't have far to go. My liberal friends call me conservative and my conservative friends call me liberal. I study religion, politics, philosophy and economics, or as I like to say, everything you're not supposed to talk about. Needless to say, if there is a controversy out there, I likely have an opinion on it, and I'd like to think most of them are moderately educated.
At any rate, anyone out there willing to put up with my rants will learn a great deal about me at a pretty rapid pace. Before we get there, I feel I should explain the title of my blog. I am not a psychotic egotist out to become the next Nostradamus or Isaiah. I do not believe that what comes out of my mouth is a directive from God. However, I do feel it is my calling in life to be the guy that says enough of the right things to anger enough of the wrong people and eventually end up with a bullet in my head. I have some kooky ideas and some interesting twists on other, more mundane positions. I love to point out the failures in any given system and am more than happy to provide advice on how to improve those systems. I am not a prophet, but I believe to some extent we all share the potential to be prophets of the mundane sort: speaking truth when no one wants to hear it and sticking to it no matter how many people hope we're wrong.
May God watch over my words here in this blog as well as those I say aloud. May this be a tool to further Your kingdom and Your righteousness. May I be granted wisdom and courage to speak the truth as best as I am able. Most importantly, Your will be done. Amen.
