The Short End (Metal Dad - Hardcore for Life)

The Short End

of the weather stick, that is. Forecasts called for 3" to 6" of snow. We got off easy compared to some of the Plains states. Hell, Wichita, KS got 14 1/2" of snow. Sometimes I think meteorologists do the same thing we do. Stick head out window, look up, and say, "Think it might snow today."

On the hardcore tip: Started listening to Shai Hulud's Reach Beyond The Sun while waiting for The Light of My Life to come home from an after school activity. First impression: sounds pretty good, immediately reminded of Hearts Once Nourished With Hope and Compassion. Looking forward to digging in deeper the next couple of days.

Useful Quotes

Humanistic law, moreover, is inescapably totalitarian law. Humanism, as a logical development of evolutionary theory, holds fundamentally to a concept of an evolving universe. This is held to be an “open universe,” whereas Biblical Christianity, because of its faith in the triune God and His eternal decree, is said to be a faith in a “closed universe. ” This terminology not only intends to prejudice the case; it reverses reality. The universe of evolution and humanism is a closed universe. There is no law, no appeal, no higher order, beyond and above the universe. Instead of an open window upwards, there is a closed cosmos. There is thus no ultimate law and decree beyond man and the universe. In practice, this means that the positive law of the state is absolute law. The state is the most powerful and most highly organized expression of humanistic man, and the state is the form and expression of humanistic law. Because there is no higher law of God as judge over the universe, over every human order, the law of the state is a closed system of law. There is no appeal beyond it. Man has no “right,” no realm of justice, no source of law beyond the state, to which he can appeal against the state. Humanism therefore imprisons man within the closed world of the state and the closed universe of the evolutionary scheme.
