Project: The Wolf in Sheepskin

 Every church has an interesting feature embedded within, a person, a learned, rational humanist and atheist. They are from the local humanist organisation, usually spurred on by an anti-theistic drive, and that works on community betterment in a similar tangent to the church for the sake of familiarity, but without the baggage of doctrine involved. 

This person, after being cultivated, sourced or planted in their local church, has an intent and purpose to be said church's self-destructive component perhaps, and would be a guiding path and lever of accountability for the church's actions, ideally connecting the messages and doctrine of the church to be in line to be consistent with the moral and societal standard external to the church.

In terms of the engendered conflict, their motive is usually met with neutral or mildly miffed reactions, but nothing more, as they have a strict code of conduct that assimilates well with church culture in the most rational sense without compromising humanist ethos/ethics. To apply the Christian perspective, they are "wolves in sheep's clothing", but should refrain to position themselves as such. 

Their Function includes: 

1. provide a bridge for the lost and hurt, who are deconstructing/seeking to detach from the church.

2. Provide a perspective and a cultural check and balance in accountability for the congregation and circles within, such as cell groups, study groups.

3. With a frankness of atheism, they represent the Minority voice and the aim to increase exposure and acceptability between theists and atheists, to minimise  

4. Reporting and educating atheists and non-believers in their humanist organisation on benefits as well as cultural shifts in the Christian narrative, which will inform and evolve the humanist approach to best influence a growth in rationality across the board.

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

Bredlik

 https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

Manglish and its Cina Particles

"The ubiquitous word lah ( [lɑ́]   or   [lɑ̂] ), used at the end of a sentence, can also be described as a particle that simultaneously asserts a position and entices solidarity.  Note that 'lah' is often written after a space for clarity, but there is never a pause before it. This is because originally in Malay, 'lah' is appended to the end of the word and is not a separate word by itself." SNEAKING SUSPICION: "lah" was originally from the Cantonese practicing south of China. The land of Malaya had relations with China since the Ming dynasty, when China was the protector of the Malaccan Sultanate (maybe even from the 5th-6th century), and the use of la as a sentence-suffix particle got integrated into the Malay language its formation, probably during the second phase is Early Modern Malay (1500-ca. 1850) that witnessed the indigenization of Arabic loan words, changes in the affix system, and a rather liberal word order.  Confirmation alternatives: ...
