Kristensionist Donald Trump redder Nigeria fra islams sverd

Stupetårnet i Engelandsvika må nok sies å være det flotteste bygget i Gjøvik i dette årtusenet. Diving tower from Lake Mjøsa by the town of Gjøvik in early June. Stock-bilde | Adobe Stock Islamsk terror er overalt, slik det har vært siden denne terrorideologien så dagens lys, men nå har vi heldigvis kristensionist Donald Trump. Den Norske Kirke liker nok ikke dette her, da de har lagt seg flate for islam, lik en rød løper, og står i fremste rekke for å bekjempe oss kristensionister, slik at islam får fritt spillerom. Hundretusener av kristne er likvidert og gjort til slaver i Nigeria, selvsagt uten at den norske presse bryr seg, men fordømme Trump for denne støtten, kommer de naturligvis til å gjøre. Passer bra at Trump slår til samtidig som Tommy Robinson mobiliserer for den kristne sivilisasjon i London👊 Mens Donald Trump slår til i Nigeria, slår kristensionist Tommy Robinson til igjen i London👊 I samme slengen slår Raymond Ibrahim til igjen også, selv om han vel neppe kan regnes s...

Making the Garden — Christopher Alexander

By Christopher Alexander . Original text at First Things . Rose trellis of Generalife. It has taken me almost fifty years to understand fully that there is a necessary connection between God and architecture, and that this connection is, in part, empirically verifiable. Further, I have come to the view that the sacredness of the physical world—and the potential of the physical world for sacredness—provides a powerful and surprising path towards understanding the existence of God, whatever God may be, as a necessary part of the reality of the universe. If we approach certain empirical questions about architecture in a proper manner, we will come to see God. It comes from realizing that the task of making and remaking the Earth—that which we sometimes call architecture—is at the core of any commonsense understanding of the divine. Only in the last twenty years has my understanding of this connection taken a definite form, and it continues to develop every day....

Tear Down the Corviale! New Urbanism Comes to Rome

Image
From the PLANETIZEN May 24, 2010 Nikos Salingaros presents the case for demolishing a modernist eyesore in Rome and replacing it with a high-density, mixed-use New Urbanist neighborhood. The Corviale building outside Rome is a social housing block that exemplifies the established Corbusian tradition of treating human beings as battery chickens. It was built during 1972-1982 as a single one-kilometer-long building. It is now estimated to house 6,000 people. Apologists who are nostalgic of Soviet-era social experiments continue to defend its paradigmatic modernist design on the grounds that every resident is EQUALLY oppressed in this inhuman environment, an ideal consistent with totalitarian notions of social equality.

We are proposing tearing...
