Israel & Palestine – Some Perspective
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
4M ago
Some people have likely already forgotten that a terrorist group named Hamas attacked thousands of Israeli citizens on Saturday, October 7, 2023. Hopefully you have not forgotten it. The brutality and viciousness of the attacks were nothing short of demonic. According to reliable sources, over 1,300 Israelis were killed, many in brutal and inhuman ways, and approximately 200 more were kidnapped that day, most of whom were civilians who were simply going about their daily routines, which for many included Shabbat and finishing the Jewish holiday season they call “the time of our joy”. It is a h ..read more

Luck, Coincidence And The Elect.
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
8M ago
A lot of things in our lives just seem to happen. People often refer to these things as luck or coincidence, both of which can be good or bad. However, this isn’t true. From something as important as leaving your home at the very moment you do, which means you were one second further down the road when a passing car swerved into your lane a moment after you passed by, to something as simple as the flip of a coin, we know these things aren’t determined by simple chance. As Catholics, we can say that we were in the right place at the right time, or in the wrong place at the wrong time, but we co ..read more

Homosexuality’s Classification as a Mental Illness
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
9M ago
Homosexuality was historically considered a disorder and was first officially classified as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association in about 1950. Many people credit Dr. Robert Spitzer as the person behind the decision to remove homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. What was the basis for the removal: Was it a study? Was it based on a number of studies? Was it based on new advancements in psychology? Was it rooted in the discovery of any new information at all? The answer to each of these questions is “no”. The entire decision was based on the fact that Dr. Spitzer ..read more

A Pastor For Itchy Ears
Your Brain: The Final Frontier

Heresies and heretics have been around since Apostolic times. We all know the big ones, Arianism, Jansenism, Pelagianism, Nestorianism, etc… Well, we may not know all the details, but we can usually spot or at least suspect a heresy when we hear it. Sometimes we end up falling into a heresy ourselves, especially if we try to talk about the Trinity, or the natures of God. Once we say more than about two words on these things, we find ourselves on pretty thin ice.  Thankfully, the Church has helped identify and correct heresies over the centuries. In most cases, that has required the highes ..read more

The Irrational Age
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
1y ago
Someday people will look back at this time in history and shake their heads in disbelief. They will wonder how so many people could think that: abortion is acceptable,  that gender is severable from sex,  that boys should be allowed to compete against girls in high school and college athletic events in which things like speed, strength, and height, are distinct advantages,  that a person should be categorized based on the color of their skin, that the best way to deal with drug addiction and drug use, is to legalize it. These are just some of the irrational things many America ..read more

Mind Polluters
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
1y ago
I read the recent piece on the The Mind Polluters Documentary which ran in the August 25th Edition of the Wahoo Newspaper. The piece, authored by Carson Vaughan, portrays the film as anti-teacher, anti-education, and baseless in its accusations. It prompted me to watch the film because it portrayed the film as so inaccurate and divisive that I was concerned it made wild and dishonest claims which when far beyond reality. This concerned me because I don’t like to see conservative media and conservatives overstate the case against progressive liberal ideologies. The simple truth is enough. I was ..read more

Dear Houston Methodist
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
1y ago
I’m aware that this is probably going to fall on deaf ears, but I send this anyway, because it is apparent that many people are trying to live in a pandemic echo chamber. Therefore, I encourage you to read this and to also think about it. I encourage all employers and government officials to read this. And I welcome comments as well. The Covid vaccines were originally touted to prevent infection. Houston Methodist Hospital’s spokesperson, Stefanie Asin, would benefit from knowing this fact instead of claiming it wasn’t the case in a recent comment to a reporter with Epoch Times. As health off ..read more

Thoughts From A Covid Survivor
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
2y ago
After being totally against masks and mandatory vaccinations since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, I was hospitalized with Covid (the Delta variant). Ironic right? I never doubted that Covid existed and never had any suspicion that it was merely a hoax. I was simply skeptical about how the government, politicians, some corporate leaders, and many influential people were reacting to Covid. Since the beginning of the pandemic, public officials frequently offered solutions which were clearly based on guesses. As weeks drew on, it became evident that the rhetoric outpaced the evidence until t ..read more

Returning To Normal
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
2y ago
From time to time, someone with some pull (political clout) will say something about the world’s return to “normal” as the pandemic recedes into history. As we all know, the last two years have been very abnormal, but what would “normal” look like if that is where we are headed? According to a recent poll conducted by Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports, only 58% of a little over 1,000 respondents would oppose a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine. However, when you look at the political views of the respondents, 55% of the ..read more

Vaccine Exemptions: What To Ask For
Your Brain: The Final Frontier
by Bob Sullivan
2y ago
As employers and the Federal Government have been busy forcing people to be vaccinated, I have been helping people receive exemptions from the vaccine mandates. This is a follow-up blog to the first one I wrote on the vaccine mandates several weeks ago. Many people have found my first blog very helpful as they drafted and submitted their request for exemption. There are cases where employers have denied requests, but in most cases, a carefully crafted request for a medical and/or religious exemption has been honored by employers. Now that deadlines are passing, I am hearing from more people wh ..read more
