When the Word (logos) became flesh everything changed.  The very nature in which God interacted with his creation changed forever.  The statement "The Word became flesh" contains implications that far exceed a basic understanding of God becoming a man, It necessarily changes reality as we know it.

Can the study of religion be justified? Scholarship in religion, especially work in "theory and method," is preoccupied with matters of research procedure and thus inarticulate about the goals that motivate scholarship in the field. For that reason, the field suffers from a crisis of rationale. Richard B. Miller identifies six prevailing methodologies in the field, and then offers an alternative framework for thinking about the purposes of the discipline. Shadowing these various methodologies, he notes, is a Weberian scientific ideal for studying religion, one that aspires to value-neutrality. This ideal fortifies a "regime of truth" that undercuts efforts to think normatively and teleologically about the field's purpose and value. Miller's alternative framework, Critical Humanism, theorizes about the ends rather than the means of humanistic scholarship. Why Study Religion? (Oxford UP, 2021) offers an account of humanistic inquiry that is held together by four values: Post-critical Reasoning, Social Criticism, Cross-cultural Fluency, and Environmental Responsibility. Ordered to such purposes, Miller argues, scholars of religion can relax their commitment to matters of methodological procedure and advocate for the value of studying religion. The future of religious studies will depend on how well it can articulate its goals as a basis for motivating scholarship in the field.

Crumb gives the true & ugly story of Moses from the canonized Bible. ✍ The SNATCHED Podcast is an “Aware” or Afro-centric or “Woke” or “Black” Consciousness podcast highlighting the content from the media re-evaluator Crumb Snatcher. The use of the word ‘Black' in reference to people is used a commonly accepted term to describe Melaninated people of some level of African and/or Afro-Indigenous / Indigenous / Aborigine / American-Aborigine / Asiatic, Afro-Asian, Moorish, Indian, Afro-Indio, Afro-Indian, Neo-Nubian, etc. descent. (i.e. No, we do not think that we are adjectives. We are not literally talking about the color of one's skin, we are not necessarily discussing a nationality or legal status at all times, and we don't believe that we are from the planet, country, or city named "Black". We do love and support the family that is adamant and strict about these distinctions while we are more fluid in the use of the terminology. Warning - Trigger Warning. You WILL disagree with the Crumb Snatcher!! The Crumb Snatcher is a parody conscious-thought personality that mixes actual facts with humor and shock-antics to demonstrate the absurdity in American and world culture. The Crumb Snatcher is a loveable politically incorrect, thought-provoking, anti-organized religion, profane, demeaning, angry yet introspective collective of poor righteous teachers. Join their antics in conscious thought and new-reality. Get SNATCHED!!!
