The attraction, the family

I was talking to my mum. She was relating the kindness she’s received from her church since the recent death of her husband, my dad. She lives in Jamaica in a community that doesn’t have much money at all. But the folks there still came to my mum’s house, cleared her garden, cooked for her, […]

The Project pt 4: The Divine Code, Fundamentals of the Faith, cont’d

Now the section called “The Prohibition Against Making a New Religion or Adding a Commandment,” in this section of The Divine Code I find to be very useful. It explains a fair amount of things I never really knew before, which isn’t explained in other places. Maimonides taught that Gentiles can keep Jewish commandments for […]

The Project pt 3: The Divine Code, Fundamentals of the Faith, cont’d

Now before I continue in The Divine Code, I’m gonna deal with a certain objection. A good friend of mine, one of the few I have, is the closest thing I have to a “study buddy,” someone who loves God and the seven laws and holds a different view to me, someone ready to hold […]

The Project pt 2: The Divine Code, Fundamentals of the Faith

So I had the pleasure of reading through this chapter of The Divine Code with a critical mind, to read its words and ponder. In the latter parts of my reading, I was picturing myself in the Gentile Judiciary office, thinking about how to sort its content out. In front of me there would be […]

My hands are clean

I had an incident with a state-thug earlier this year. Without going into details, the main gist of what happened is that the attending thug, of the female variety, usually the worst sort, said I was innocent of any crime, yet used the threat of arrest and taking away my children to get my details […]

The lies didn’t help

When you’ve held a belief as true for a long time, when all the “experts” have told you that all these evidences prove the belief… There’s just a plethora, right? An abundance, right? It’s just so freaking obvious, right? When I started actually interrogating the ball-earth idea, I came across so-called experts telling me simple […]

The Project pt 1: The Divine Code, Introductions

So here I begin my project, to go through books about the seven laws to see if and how they teach the seven laws. First book to cross my path is The Divine Code. Now as I’m reviewing these books my own way, I have to decide whether to deal with introductions or get to […]

Silly, desperate and Christian

The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. (Tehillim [Psalm] 111:10) The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Mishlei [Proverbs] 1:7) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: This is the separation of the fundamentals of knowledge, and what shall be for you first, […]

Prelude to the project

So yes, it’s my aim to take each book about the seven laws that I possess and have read and judge its content based on a certain lens. What is that lens? I believe the Talmud to be one of the foundational text, other than the Jewish Bible, regarding the seven laws and that the […]

The difference between being law abiding and decency

I was rightfully challenged by the fact that, on this blog, I say that an atheist can be a (seven-)law abiding gentile. That is to say, that he can avoid the acts forbidden in the 7 laws. But the challenge comes in the fact that I also find a godless worldview to be reprehensible and […]
