“Humanity’s CAPACITY for JUSTICE makes democracy POSSIBLE;
humanity’s capacity for IN-justice makes democracy NECESSARY.”
Reinhold Niebuhr

I WROTE the MASTERPIECE, “The NATURE and DESTINY” of MAN …

“SIN” is the GREATEST “FACT” of HISTORY …

WHO DOES THIS “SLAVA” CHARACTER THINK HE IS?

WHAT IS UP WITH HIS “OBSESSION” with the REALITY of “SIN” (Greek “hamartia” – “missing the mark”) and “EVIL” in HUMAN EXPERIENCE …

HISTORY X-treme … MAKING “SENSE” of the PARADOXICAL “EXTREMES”, OPPOSITES and “ANTINOMIES” of EXISTENCE …

“SIN” is MANIFESTED IN the NARCISSISM and DYSFUNCTION of HUMANITY …

IT is AS IF “The ALMIGHTY” was AT WAR WITH “The ABSURD” (Creator vs Creation)

DIVINE DENIAL vs “TRAGIC” REALITY

a “GOD-CENTERED” … “PROPHETIC” … UNIVERSE (revealed in Biblical Revelation)

“CHILDREN of DARKNESS and DISOBEDIENCE” … WHO SEE THROUGH a GLASS DARKLY …

TIME (deceiving desires) vs ETERNITY (now we know in part, then we will see in full)

HUMANITY’s “TRAGIC” EXISTENCE and GOD’s REDEMPTION “BEYOND TRAGEDY’ …

THIS “SLAVA” CHARACTER is a SUBVERSIVE “HATER” … of THOSE WHO HATE and SUBVERT GOD ..

HIS-TORY is GOD’s REDEMPTIVE PLAN of SALVATION for FALLEN HUMANITY …

OUR HUMAN NATURE and (divine) DESTINY … (from a Judeo-Christian world view … a critical comparison of earthly and Biblical thought)

I WAS ONE of the GREATEST (influential) “THINKERS” of the 20th CENTURY …

A “RELIGIOUS” MAN in a “SECULAR” AGE …

“CHRISTIAN” ARCHETYPES, ETHICS and “EXPERIENCE” TO “EXPLAIN” THIS-WORLD-ly EXISTENCE …

DESPITE MY “LIBERAL, LEFTIST” POLITICAL LEANINGS, I was an EXCEPTIONAL FIGHTER AGAINST the POLITICAL IDOL-atry of BOTH FASCISM and COMMUNISM …

A GERMAN-AMERICAN “THEOLOGIAN” and POLITICAL ETHICIST …

The “INTERSECTION” of META-PHYSICAL and MATERIAL EXISTENCE …

I FOUGHT AGAINST the “CULTURAL DESPISERS” of CHRISTIANITY (Christ-o-phobes) …

DENIAL of the “FACTS” of HUMAN “REALITY” … the “IMAGE of GOD” vs the SIN of HUMANITY …

“INTERSECTIONS” … HUBRIS & HUMILITY … the “MAJESTY” and “MISERY” of DIVINE REALITY and HUMAN EXISTENCE and EXPERIENCE (to borrow from Pascal)

a “POLITICAL PROPHET” … WHO SAW “BEYOND POLITICS” …

BOTH an “INSTITUTION” and “ICON-oclast” …

I AM CREDITED with the “SERENITY PRAYER” …

GOD GRANT ME the SERENITY to ACCEPT the THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE …

The COURAGE to CHANGE the THINGS I CAN …

AND the WISDOM to KNOW the DIFFERENCE …

“SlavA” is a “SUBVERSIVE” WHO RECOGNIZES the “SUBSTANCE” of GOD
