Return of The Rock

 NOTICE! We had filmed this interview, but an elephant sat on our camera. :| Fortunately, we saved this transcript. Enjoy!


  • This is a Transcript of an interview conducted 3/31/2022


Joseph: Hello Folks! Coming to you live from Frans, the one dorm on Christendom that actually gets WIFI, it's Yesterday Christendom! Today we have a special guest who was previously interviewed by the Rambler. I am excited to be bringing you this exclusive interview, but first, I should let him introduce himself. 


Rock: …


Subtitles: (Smiling and nodding along in that weird style of News Anchors)


Rock: …


Subtitles: (He continues to nod and smile, but he is not insane, he’s just a news anchor)


Rock: …


Joseph: Wow! Seems like you’ve had quite a busy career since we’ve seen you last. I’d like to talk to you a bit more about how your work influences Christendom. I think that is a topic of great interest to our viewers.


Rock: …


Joseph: Oh really? 


Subtitles: (He says this with just a bit too much enthusiasm)


Rock: …


Joseph: Fascinating! I can’t believe that I didn’t know that before. I’d hate to be one of those ignoramuses that don’t know that. 


Rock: …


Joseph: Really? That professor is involved? That explains a lot. Now, you seem to be a busy sort of fellow, but I am told that you have found time to write a book. 


Subtitles: He picks up a book with a glossy cover. The rock is pictured on the cover)


Joseph: Rocking on: How Hard Work Led to my Success. I read a bit of this before the interview, and I have some questions. Well, I didn’t really. I had the interns do that. Anyways, in chapter 1, you recount your childhood. Did you really feel taken for granite in your family?


Rock: … (answered with a slight glare)


Joseph: Wow, sounds like that wasn’t very gneiss


Rock: … (replies with a slight air of annoyance) 


Joseph: And in Chapter 2, you reveal that you didn’t have a concrete idea of what you wanted to do in life.


Rock: … (visibly annoyed at the puns)


Joseph: Further, in chapter 3, you say that you were asked to smoke weed with someone, but you didn’t want to get stoned.


Subtitles: (Rock stares at the anchor for a second. Then he stands up and walks off set.)


Joseph: Okay.


Subtitles: (He turns to face a different camera)


Joseph: Coming up next. We’re going to teach you how to be more popular by pointing out your roommate's flaws in public. This has been Christendom Yesterday! Have a Lovely day!

Why Politics was Never Meant to be an American Career

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” - Thomas Paine This attitude toward government as being anywhere between a necessary evil to an intolerable one comes from a reflection on how the American revolution was fought not for government, but for liberty from a tyrannical rule, with the establishment of the American republic being only a means to that end. This understanding of government as a means to liberty is foundational to the United States, yet is a philosophy fading with time.  I will not go as far as to say that the Founding Fathers disliked the idea of government in general, but they had a comprehensive understanding of the imperfection of all human governing systems. Although the concepts of law, hierarchy, and authority are divine, government is a human institution, which means it is imperfect. No matter how many protections and precautions one takes when founding such an establishment, there will always be...

Government versus Human Rights

There is one thing that every societal government must recognize in order for it to be able and qualified to accomplish its purpose: human dignity. Everything the government issues forth relies on the truth of human dignity and without this understanding, the government fails to enforce justice and maintain peace. To recognize human dignity is to understand that society is not a machine with every person being merely a cog in the system, but instead, society is a community where individual persons should be recognized as such, and thus, deserve to have their human rights protected by the regime.  However, if human rights are defined by the theological understanding of human dignity, does any governmental regime have the power to protect them?  First, we need to understand what is meant by human right. Human rights apply to every human being from the moment of conception by virtue of his humanity and have existed since before being recognized by any type of civil institution. ...

Breakfast Scramble

  I ate this recipe almost every day over Christmas break, and it remains one of my favorites. This recipe is great because it is simple and easy to make. I make this recipe without cheese, but for anyone who can have it with cheese, I highly recommend doing so. This recipe does not have any gluten or nuts in it. As for the meat, you can keep it out and eat this on Fridays, choose one meat, or choose several. My preference is to use either Italian sausage or turkey lunchmeat and so I will give directions for both options, but you can use most other lunch meats in place of or in addition to turkey and breakfast sausage, ground beef, ground chicken, or ground turkey in place of Italian sausage. As for serving, I usually just eat this on its own, but sometimes have it in a tortilla or with toast or a muffin. Essentially, this can go with any number of things. Breakfast Scramble with Italian Sausage Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of oil 2 teaspoons of salt (or to taste) 2 teaspoons of pepp...
