Fewer Than Ever Enroll To Be Historians

sophisticatesophia:

This article gives lots of facts but not many causes. I am curious as to what others think. Here are some options:

  • It doesn’t pay. Like lots of liberal arts degrees the pay just ain’t there. 
  • Teaching history is more difficult even if you get a degree. You have to get a plethora of teaching classes and then face testing when you are done. 
  • History doesn’t matter. Because in our society currently truth is what we think it is and not facts, there seems little incentive to actually go into a field where facts are essential and yet are being ignored.
  • Historians are getting blocked out of writing books because TV personalities and bloggers are doing more of that now.
  • There is such left-wing bias that anyone right of center refuses to get into the major. 
  • There are more liberal arts major now. It seems that every minority group has their own major and courses. This could be siphoning off potential historians. 
  • It is a demanding major where as others are not.   

These are just off the top of my head. One thing for sure we need real historians. I saw a supposed historian today on TV, Doris Kerns-Goodwin (a known plagiarist) and she was opining that the new USMCA deal might has historic significance, but the Russia thing was going to over shadow it. Is that a historian or is it a political commentator showing her colors? 

Like I said we need real historians not fake ones.

If Christians loved jesus like they say they do wouldn’t all the sin stop? They would never sin anymore

coffeeman777:

It’s not as easy as that. Humans are fallen creatures; we have a sin nature, a natural and pervasive drive toward sin that affects everything we do. When we come to Christ, the power of sin is broken over us, and although we are entirely justified from the moment of salvation, the changing from wicked to righteous (what Christians call “sanctification”) takes place over time. In the same way that addicts who want to get clean have to go through a process (which is sometimes very messy with a lot of back and forth), Christians struggle with their fallen natures, using grace-enabled effort and the power of the Holy Spirit in them to become what their love for Jesus demands: holy children of God who are pleasing to their Father in all they do, think, and say.

Jeshua Himself was not under any delusions about His message: He told His disciples ‘it is impossible but that sin will come’, aware that, as long as we’re on this side of eternity, there wouldn’t be a time when “all the sin stop”

“And the kings of the earth and the great men hid themselves, and said to the mountains and the rocks; ‘Fall on us, and hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.’“

You know that the fog is here, omnipresent
When the diseases sees no cure
You know that the fog is here, omnipresent
When the intents remain obscure
Forevermore

Weave us a mist
Fog weaver
Hide us in shadows
Unfathomable wall-less maze
A Secular Haze

You know that His Son is near, omnipotent
When she sees eye-to-eye with spear
You know that His Son is near, omnipotent
When youth and innocence disappear
Forever lost

Weave us a mist
Fog weaver
Hide us in shadows
Unfathomable wall-less maze
A Secular Haze

He is Divine-ity omniscient
Seeing the world revolve with spite
The surge of humanity oblivious
To the Divine whom bringeth light
Let there be night

Weave us a mist
Fog weaver
Hide us in shadows
Fog weaver

Come mist eternal, ooh
Come mist eternal, ooh
Come Secular Haze

Ghost – Secular Haze

honestly the funniest thing about the lord of the rings is how gandalf is literally a minor god sent to middle-earth by The Big Man Himself and yet literally nobody apart from the elves seems to recognise this or take him seriously

like yeah gandalf is pretty grumpy most of the time but how would YOU feel if you were the fantasy equivalent of an angel and a bunch of people who only come up to your knee were just like “oh fuck it’s that spooky old wizard” every time you showed up for a friend’s birthday party
