– The subject & the Big Other
The particular & the universal
The phenomenal & the noumenous
– The immanent Word is manifested AS – what it has always been – concrete flesh!

– Novelty, variety & challenge are good… except in the area of sexuality, right?
Hold me loosely ma……
23.7.14
– The suffocating & trampling of self-expression/individual freedoms, all in the name of:
GOD
Morality
Marriage
Decency
Order
Harmony
Sanity
Society
Family
Security
Stability
– If GOD himself has relinquished ownership of us as His creatures & children, & granted us full freedom to be ourselves, then what place does the conventional notion of “possessiveness” have in marriage?
– Marriage is NOT a static socio-legal institution, but a dynamic, mutual-reciprocal & voluntary inter-personal arrangement!
– Even the most liberal folks become conservative when it comes to the question of sexuality!
Why?? There is no doubt that there is something profound & ironic behind this……
– The fear of the unknown is the greatest enemy to the desire for the ideal!
– I hate/rebel/reject/ condemn the authorities/structures/ forces that intimidate & deceive us into resigning/surrendering to the status quo!
– Power as freedom
Vs.
Freedom as power
– A martyr for chaos!

Personhood/soul > individuality/self!
The Christian ethic:
Worship (fear/obey) no one except GOD alone.
Love your neighbour (includes enemy!) as yourself.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Love one another as Christ has loved you.
Whatever you do to the least of these, you have done it to GOD.
Joe, Christianity is so beautiful & good, so why don’t you trust it as truth, and live by its light?
…Obey it as authoritative & glorify it as great?
Can a prostitute have a normal love-life?
There can be no (commitment to the) common good without (subscribing to) normative truth (metaphysical & ethical)!
