Wednesday May 11, 2022

Maleficent, Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, Cruella De Vil: All these villains aren’t so much villains, but rather people who have a psychological reason for what they do. If we could only understand them how they became that way, then they’re not so bad.
In this episode, we look at villain revisionism. Where bad isn’t really bad, thereby destroying any conception of what is good.

TGC 187 — On Imprecation
Wednesday Apr 20, 2022
Wednesday Apr 20, 2022
They’re not in our hymnals. But they’re in the Bible. And so they should be in our hymnals.

In this episode, Ramirez leads us through what imprecation is. Then he demonstrates from the psalms and examples in the Bible, where the saints of old imprecate God’s enemies, and so their enemies also, so that we can follow in their train.
