“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Commenter Sasha Hrongmitts had a rather interesting follow-up question to my last post about the early history of Islam: Are you sure the Persian Empire used Arabs as troops against the Byzantines? I could be mistaken, but I thought one of the reasons the Arabs were...
Listeners to my podcast will recall that I did a two-part series a few weeks ago called “One Man, One Book”, examining the historicity of the so-called “Religion of Peace”. I did it a bit bassackwards, and I’ll cop to that without...

For this week’s podcast I decided to address some spiritual topics that have been on my mind for quite some time. This week’s episode is all about the war of spirit and the ways in which that war has manifested itself among us: As I said in the podcast,...
A couple of my readers know me in real life and are in fairly regular communication with me. One of them lives in Florida and is facing some health problems of late. I speak with him roughly once a month or more. Recently he has been troubled by a number of health...
In this week’s podcast, I discuss the rather strange and shadowy Nephilim, or Watchers, mentioned very briefly at various points in the Bible and at much greater length in the apocryphal Books of Enoch, while stopping over various mythologies and points in...
Reader JohnC911 asked an interesting question in relation to the Scripture that I posted up on Sunday regarding the compatibility of Christianity and libertarianism: Is it possible for a Christian Libertarian society to exist if they chose to put Jesus as their King?...
