Fr. Orthoduck and a Kitsune
Father Orthoduck recently received the drawing above. It is a drawing of Father Orthoduck with a Kitsune. The message said in part: You have an avatar as Fr. Orthoduck … truth be told I have an online persona as it were too. She’s a … fox (or as the Japanese call them, Kitsune … mythical […]
So, religious discrimination is OK in the USA after all?
From Fox News: Presidential candidate Herman Cain on Sunday defended his opposition to a new mosque in Tennessee, expressing concern about Shariah law and declaring Americans “have the right” to ban mosques in their communities. … Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Cain said he came out against the Tennessee mosque after talking to members of […]
Jon Stewart, Fox News, victimization and Christians
Recently there has been a strong debate going on between Jon Stewart, of The Daily Show, and Fox News. His frustration can be summarized by quoting his own words: Any editorial judgment in news, or schools, or movies, that doesn’t favor the conservative view, is elitism and is evidence of liberal bias. Whereas any editorial […]
An odd Irish WWII story from the BBC
The quotes below come from a history story on the BBC. There is no particular Christian point to the story. Just read it and enjoy it. I recommend going to read the full story on the website.

For instance, Bertrand Russell, a […]
An aside about servicepeople supporting freedom
Yesterday, Father Ernesto continued his discussion on Kuhn and a changing paradigm shift. He will continue that tomorrow with a small discussion on post-modernism and how that has impacted our view of truth. However, he brought up an event from 1946 nicknamed the McMinn County War. There is no recent comparable event, but it is […]
The CDC gives advice on possible zombie apocalypse
Besides being a priest, Father Orthoduck is a published medical professional. (No, he is not a physician.)

For instance, there is a regular problem with people returning with an infection that has not been cured. Often, […]
