Equating Levitation To Gender Stuff

 At some, when all this 'wave' of gender stuff started up, I came one day to think that if this all made sense....then levitation made sense as well.

To define levitating?  Well....it's the rising of the human body....maybe an inch....maybe a couple inches.  

The background....most all of the episodes ever discussed came from either hallucinations of the crowd, or some illusion of the guy demonstrating his ability.

Most religions at some point....have entertained levitation to some minor degree.

I felt that if you could change sexes.....you might as well go and claim you could levitate, and use the same degree of illusion or hallucination.  

Everyone wants to believe in some gender change....to such a degree....that hallucinating it is not that big of a deal.  It'd be different to say you were changing your dog into a cat, or making yourself into a tree stump.  But this is just a simple task of getting the audience to think something....whether true or not.

Burn-Out Chatter

 This week, I read through a news piece which talked up the burn-out rate of ministers in America....now developing into a problem where guys/gals walk off the job.

Trigger?  Well....you would think that the primary job is just to write up a simple 40-minute sermon for Sunday, chat up Moses ten times more than what he deserves, avoid Revelations and demon-chatter as much as possible, pray for sick folks, and just provide a marginal amount of inspiration to folks.  That's it....it was pretty simple.

In the past decade, the minister folks have all become politicized.  Either the 'headquarters' hypes this, or the local deacons, or just membership itself.  So you are working constantly to irk a quarter of congregation....forcing them to leave, and then constantly back in a recruitment drive to bring new people in with like-minded ways to your political dynamics.

Was the profession completely neutral prior to the past decade or two?  No....you can go back even to the 1960s/1970s, and find some political gaming going on.  It's just that in the current era....everything is played to the maximum.  

If you were trying to run a non-politicized church?  I think you'd generally fail within a year or two....because of the current dynamics at work.

What happens to the burn-out ministers?  I would imagine they end up selling real estate, running a insurance agency, and shift-manager work at grocery stores.  

Just an odd thing to think over....burn-out from too much politics. 

This soon reaching schools and teachers?  Oh, I would imagine it's already going on.

The Batman

 I sat yesterday and watched the new Batman movie (2022).  Three observations:

1.  It's about as 'dark' of a script that you can possibly imagine.  If you tried to compare it against the first three or four....it won't work.  

2.  It's more of a mystery thriller than a superhero story, which is fairly entertaining.  

3.  This Robert Pattinson guy does a pretty good job (not as good as Christian Bale).  

It's just an odd piece designed as a mystery movie and keeps you interested.
