Anarchy in Marseille as Macron protests turn violent
Presumably, Macron‘s government has killed itself, even though, early this week, it survived two confidence votes. Carnival celebrations in Marseille descended into violence on the night of March 19, in protest against Emmanuel Macron’s unpopular pension reforms. What began as a family-friendly event quickly degenerated into anarchy when 300 people started a bonfire in the […]

Xinhua: 20 years after blatant invasion, U.S. crimes against Iraq still unpunished
Originally posted on Levant's Agora:
Editor: Li Jiayao. During the more than eight-year war and ensuing years of violence after the 2011 U.S. pullout, more than 200,000 civilians were killed and over 9 million others displaced in Iraq. Much of the country’s infrastructure was also destroyed during the relentless bombings launched by the U.S.-led…Identifying discourses
” identifying discourses is one of the most effective strategies to “unlocking” the sociological lens.” + discourses allows us to step outside of what we consider as our reality and question whether that reality might be inaccurate or just different from others’ reality. {Of discourses and sociology } ~ Lyn from lilyellownotes

Can a person be too Christian to lead a modern political party
Christians in politics have been accommodated through a policy of don’t-ask, don’t-tell, but some argue endlessly about which bathrooms trans people should be allowed to use. Cisgender psychologists and sexologists pathologise the transgender experience according to their own biases, cisgender insurance executives arbitrarily what is and isn’t “necessary care” for transgender policyholders, and so on.

Thought for March 16: Touch

There are only two cases I can come up with of Jesus healing someone long distance: The centurion whose beloved servant was deathly ill recognized that Jesus could heal with a word (Luke 7:1-10). […]
Possibly a bright prospect for the Belgian community of Brothers in Christ
Revival for French-speaking Brothers in Christ At the hands of Duncan Heaster, the leader of Carelinks, our Belgian association suffered greatly in 2014 and subsequent years.

Suffering and the God of Love #5 Will God Ever End Suffering?
Will God Ever End Suffering? This is the whole point that is so often missed. The assumption is made that God is to blame for suffering (which, as we have seen, He is not); that all suffering is bad (which is wrong); that if God allows suffering He therefore does not love us (when it […]
