story breaking on reuters here.... kim jong-un seems determined to start a war.
nk is a national cult of personality.
hating the rest of the world is the first tenet of faith..
Face the American hangman someday like Saddam ...
If Kim Jong-un gave up his nuclear programme and stopped threatening to attack the rest of the world he would never have to face any other foreign army. The west would be competing to send NK aid to encourage them to join us in the 21st century.
The west have not caused this problem. NK is a cult. You would love it Fishy.

just got to share this, zizek at his very best.
explaining how the traditional view of the ransom makes no sense and reverts christianity to paganism where god is subject to a superior notion of justice.
how the injunction from jesus to hate mother, father, brothers and sisters is really a call for a non-hierarchical society, of which the holy spirit is a symbol.

Zizek seems to be saying that Jesus undermined the family to create a more egalitarian society, not that he made families more egalitarian.
Yes I got that. I wasn't trying to highlight a contradiction. Jesus did advocate the subversion of family relationships. Not just dysfunctional ones or oppressive ones or abusive ones but all family relationships to be replaced with a pseudo-family under him.
This is a tool of all tyrants.
Jesus was a dangerous narcissist. Trying to spin his words into something less offensive is a dishonest venture.
Listening to Zizek was incredibly hard work - it wasn't worth effort.
in lloyd evans's interview with seth andrews (the thinking atheist), evans says that jws published a new footage on evolution on their website jw broadcasting.
he says it's about kids talking to their classmates about evolution.
he comments that it's an amusing video.
I remember when I used to preach about creationism at school. "If we evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys?" Cringe!

Zizek is saying that the subversion of family structure opens the way for egalitarian and non-hierarchical forms of relationship - SBF
I don't think Zizek said anything about a more egalitarian family structure - SBF
So he thinks that subverting the family structure is the road to a better world does he? Why do you think a person who thinks this way is worthy of attention?
The subversion of family structure is evil. It is a tool of every oppressive society that has ever existed including the Watchtower. If, as you assert, Zizek is saying that the subversion of the family is desirable then he is a dangerous fool.
I listened to the first video. It was agony.

Except Jesus said nothing about a more egalitarian family structure. He said his followers were unworthy unless they hated their parents and siblings.
This of course is deeply embarrasing so theologians like Zizek make up bullshit influenced by communist ideology.

Mao Zedong thought likewise. That led to the deaths of 45 million during the "Great Leap Forward". Anybody who advocates the "subversion of the family structure" is either a moral imbecile or a moral monster.

What has hating your brothers and sisters got to do with rejecting hierarchy? Sibling relationships are the exact opposite of that. Zizek is talking bullshit.
Jesus' words are much more simple than that. He meant what he said - reject your fucking family and follow me.
Jesus was a egocentric cult leader who demanded the same loyalty as every cult leader before and since. The rejection of the family - our most intimate relationships - in favour of the cult is the ultimate test.
If he existed at all, Jesus was both deluded and dangerous.
The NT is very explicit about the reason for Jesus' death. It is ugly and pagan and it does leave god looking like a narcissist. Conflating Job with the meaning of the cross is nonsense.
P.S. What is wrong with Zizek?
