I was on an abnormally high level of "I need to flush this brain" today so I revisited New American Gospel by Lamb of God which isn't possibly loud enough on any phone or headset, therefore I reset in my car. I adjusted the eqs and rattled my body for a bit to ultimately decide that even with the highest volume, crushing bass, and ideal balance - I still wasn't fully meditative. I have access to a recording and production studio, so let's fucking go. Crank that PA just short of red on the track "The Subtle Arts of Murder and Persuasion", while my eyes twitch under my eyelids long enough for the exorcism to be under control for now. Jesus fucking christ, good luck making me breakfast in the morning.

“Hold Jesus Liable To Arrest As Radical,” Toronto Star. October 20, 1932. Page 3. ---- Could Be Charged With Sedition, Anarchy, Religion and Labor Body Says ---- New Haven, Conn., Oct. 20 - The National Religion and Labor Foundation, organized by leading Jews, Catholics and Protestants to arouse the interest of the church in improving labor’s status, announced in its first bulletin to-day a ‘Reward - for information leading to the apprehension of Jesus Christ.’

Under a pen and ink sketch of Jesus, there appears the following:

‘Wanted - For sedition, criminal anarchy, vagrancy, and conspiring to overthrow the established government.

‘Dresses poorly, said to be a carpenter by trade, ill-nourished, has visionary ideas, associates with common working people, the unemployed, and bums. Alien - believed to be a Jew - alias ‘Prince of Peace,’ ‘Son of Man,’ ‘Light of the World,’ etc. Professional agitator, red beard, marks on hand and feet the result of injuries inflicted by an angry mob led by respectable citizens and legal authorities.’

The bulletin contains a letter from Tom Mooney serving life in San Quentin prison, California, in connection with the 1916 preparedness day bombing in San Francisco, addressed to Professor Jerome Davis of Yale, one of the foundation’s leaders, appealing for financial assistance to enable his defence to investigate the alleged confession of Paul Callicotta of Portland, Ore.

‘We desperately need a reawakening of the flaming social righteousness of the prophets of old,’ says a communication signed by Davis, Bishop Francis J. McConnell, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Edward Israel, Allen K. Chalmers and John A. Lapp.

I think people have confused the fact that it's definitely possible to go "look this magical guy told me these are the rules so now you all have to obey" with believing that religion is intrinsically just that. and it's like they just discount the possibility that anyone has ever earnestly believed in a higher authority or genuinely had a mystical experience or whatever. the thing is if you actually observe how religious people behave, especially if you look outside of like evangelical megachurch pastors who are clearly just grifting, it immediately becomes pretty hard to ignore that.

for every example of religion maintaining inequality u have muslim charities successfully preventing FGM by informing muslim communities who perpetrate it that it's haram, sikhs opposing casteism, early christians fighting gender inequality etc etc etc + on an individual level literally countless people who have fought against poverty and oppression on the basis of religious belief. like... IS it really something specific about religion or is it the fact that hegemony will naturally pick up and spread whatever supports it and suppress whatever doesn't?because the same can also be said of like... music... so are u going to say music is just a tool of the elite or whatever? bc it definitely can be. but it's equally a tool for resisting oppression and also just a significant part of the human experience.

aren't we meant to be postmodernists now like i think maybe things sometimes do just happen sometimes. what Society does with it after the fact is another question, but if you look at the history of religion I'm surprised if you don't come away with some awareness that genuine belief in some sort of authority or mechanism which is outside of human control can be something very transformative. like the fundamental innovation of the torah was to say that every human life is equal to every other human life in opposition to the code of hammurabi which said that some people's life = other people's pocket change. only a power which comes from somewhere outside human society would be able to ensure that law was applied fairly and equally to all rather than manipulated on the whim of the human with the most power to enforce it. if the "abrahamic" religions can be said to have anything in common at all, it's probably a call to humbleness and the value of every human being. much to think about!!!!

#religion kind of just makes u more like whatever ur already like ngl #if anything can be said universally of religion it's probably just that #which is why I said what I said abt gay catholics #sorry everyone I needed to say this because I was trying to work out what was bothering me abt #the book I just read teehee #watched a documentary abt another gnostic gospel and it is just so like #yeah religion is transformative at the margins of society and oppressive at the centre #like so is everything in the world. what else is new #if you don't want to read this whole post then just go watch yentl. you'll understand #like it's easier to think about w music bc something I noticed w like victorian era popular music was literally like #the average guy just starts liking something because. it's exciting and interesting to him #and then there is some kind of move to retain control #like minstrel shows in the uk were partly a reaction to genuine enthusiasm for african american music because like. it's good and it's also #super different to anything people had heard before #so then there was this like. move to take control from black performers by having it be white performers doing caricatures at their expense #music hall was something people just started doing and then was ultimately turned into a whole panopticon of control #see also: every radical music genre that gets watered down and commercialised #anywayyyy hiii

**edit

James baldwin online archive with his articles and photo archives.

---NOVELS---

Giovanni's room"When David meets the sensual Giovanni in a bohemian bar, he is swept into a passionate love affair. But his girlfriend's return to Paris destroys everything. Unable to admit to the truth, David pretends the liaison never happened - while Giovanni's life descends into tragedy. This book introduces love's fascinating possibilities and extremities."

Go Tell It On The Mountain"(...)Baldwin's first major work, a semi-autobiographical novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves."

+bonus: film adaptation on youtube. (if you’re a giancarlo esposito fan, you’ll be delighted to see him in an early preacher role)

Another Country and Going to Meet the Man Another country: "James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit." Going to meet the Man: " collection of eight short stories by American writer James Baldwin. The book, dedicated "for Beauford Delaney", covers many topics related to anti-Black racism in American society, as well as African-American–Jewish relations, childhood, the creative process, criminal justice, drug addiction, family relationships, jazz, lynching, sexuality, and white supremacy."

Just Above My Head"Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, to the homosexual passion of Giovanni's Room, and to the political fire that enflames his nonfiction work. Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Hall and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses--and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land."

If Beale Street Could Talk"Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions-affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche."

also has a film adaptation by moonlight's barry jenkins

Tell Me How Long the Train's been gone At the height of his theatrical career, the actor Leo Proudhammer is nearly felled by a heart attack. As he hovers between life and death, Baldwin shows the choices that have made him enviably famous and terrifyingly vulnerable. For between Leo's childhood on the streets of Harlem and his arrival into the intoxicating world of the theater lies a wilderness of desire and loss, shame and rage. An adored older brother vanishes into prison. There are love affairs with a white woman and a younger black man, each of whom will make irresistible claims on Leo's loyalty. 

---ESSAYS---

i have so much love for american jewish music. from jewish bluegrass to kosher gospel it truly showcases the way jews in america have found ways to celebrate both our jewishness and the cultures we’ve become a part of, exactly the same way so many jewish communities across the world have for hundreds or even thousands of years. i think people forget that because we’re living in the here and now when these genres are still new. but i home someday they’re seen with the same legitimacy as older jewish music is.

I’m sick of the American political machine and how it relates to Christianity today. I’m tired of Christ being wrapped up in culture war garbage. I’m over liberals insisting Jesus was some progressive lefty and conservatives claiming you’re going against the Bible by not voting for Republicans/refusing to worship at the altar of Donald Trump. I’m sick of lesbian priests and rainbow flags draped over churches and shaming towards married couples for not having 6+ kids and dunking on working moms. Where is any of this in the Bible? Where is God in all of this? How is participating in tribalism orchestrated by the Elites spreading the Gospel to the world? When did we start letting Fox News and random Twitter liberals dictate what “Christian values” look like?

Ordo Salutis: Regeneration

3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again. 8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. — John 3:3-8 | American King James Version (KJVUS) The American King James Version is Produced by Stone Engelbrite. It is a simple word for modern word update from the King James English.
