Agree to disagree

Revisado: 04-23-25

I don’t agree that the Torah was just words of wisdom. That makes the Ten Commandments the Ten Suggestions. I realize I’m not a Torah expert, but by saying it wasn’t written for us (we are not Old Testament Jews) and has no direct application, makes it a mere set of suggestions.

Eye opening story

Revisado: 04-15-25

This a convincing argument as to what really happened with the assassination of JFK, and others. If these allegations are true, the history of the 60’s needs to be rewritten. It all makes sense, but we may never know for sure… One thing for sure is that none of these men were saints. Shameful!

Solid analysis

Revisado: 03-31-25

What seems obvious to some is impossible for others to accept. Intelligent design, climate change, and evolution in general are fields where if you don’t agree with the establishment you are treated like a heretic. I’m glad they stopped burning us at the stake. Now days it’s just being cancelled…. Excellent analysis of the current hypothesis’s, including their shortcomings.

Excellent Book

Revisado: 02-28-25

I enjoy history from all over the world, European history is more relatable, since I’ve traveled there extensively. I really enjoyed this book since it gave me a more accurate accounting of the events surrounding the life and times of Henry V. I highly recommend…

A Psychologist View of the Bible/Religion

Revisado: 02-01-25

I like Jordan Peterson’s work. I’ve read several of his books and listened to many of his interviews. What I found is that where he fully endorses the need for God, he oftentimes portrays key biblical figures as more of an archetype or as an archetypal roll model. He also ties in religious figures from other religions, who he links with biblical figures. I liked the book, but I feel that he failed to close the loop with his conclusions.

All the democrats will vote “NO”

Revisado: 12-19-24

Pete calls it as it is. Our enemies are salivating over our woke military. What has been done to our military is criminal and people need to be fired (if not more). The incoming president and secretary of defense have to fix this before it’s too late.
This book does an excellent job of laying out all the facts of the current state of affairs, as well as what it will take to fix things. Highly recommended.

Eye opening evaluation of what is happening in academia

Revisado: 12-04-24

What I learned is that apparently I’m a racist, sexist, and homophobic and I didn’t even know it. This book really does a great job at explaining the “victimhood mentality” that has taken over our society and education system. This is destroying our society.
There were sections I wished the authors/reader gave me more time between sentences to finish laughing at the lunacy that has infected this country.
Whereas I agreed with most of the conclusions in this book about how to move forward, I disagreed with continuing to support various fields of study that refuse to debate or even discuss their philosophies (no one is allowed to question them).
Another fact is that some of these philosophical opinions verge on mental illness. When do we stop entertaining these ideas and start treating it.
I do recommend the book.

Started out great, but it drifted at the end

Revisado: 11-14-24

This book started out true to its title, but the last chapters drifted in politics, religion, climate, and personal opinions. First let me start by saying climate change is real, but some of his ideas are clearly off target from the facts. His ideas concerning the “little ice age” are unfounded. He starts to drive a certain point of view… He does the same by using a broad brush when talking about conservatives, Christians, and anyone who doesn’t follow his climate change way of thinking. Rather than just convey the facts about animal extinctions, and efforts to correct past transgressions, he starts pointing fingers. In some cases, unjustifiably so. His bottom line appears to be animals - good / man - bad.

Great Historical Summary

Revisado: 10-14-24

Great summary of how knowledge (through the building of libraries) move from one empire and culture to another through history. The challenges and impact on knowledge brought on by how culture and religion interacted was also very insightful.

Excellent and Extraordinary Story

Revisado: 08-31-24

This is an exceptional story about the journey of faith from Islam to Christianity. Having lived and worked in Muslim countries throughout my career I managed to have some conversations with Muslim friends and coworkers. I never really understood what they had to lose. I highly recommend it if you have a heart for Muslims.
