In the Bible, whenever people encounter an angel, that angel is embodied; whenever people encounter an evil spirit (exception: Satan in the temptation of Jesus), that demon is disembodied. I'm not entirely sure of the significance; I just realized this when teaching last week.

1. It makes me even less likely to adopt a theory of the "sons of God" and the "Nephilim" in Genesis 6 that features the notion of embodied fallen angels procreating with human women to produce superhuman offspring. That one occasion would be quite the outlier.

2. It seems to me a sharp rebuttal against either Platonism/Neo-Platonism or Eastern philosophies like Buddhism or Hinduism in which corporeal existence is seen as inferior to disembodied existence.

We in North Texas are standing on the cusp of one of my favorite seasons of the year: Find-$10-you-left-in-your-coat-pocket-last-year Season.

The Milwaukee Brewers play a brand of baseball many teams need to take note of.

Totally despicable for Fox Sports to run a soft porn advertisement during the NLC championship baseball series. Fox should be held accountable for this because is so disrespectful of women and shameful for the eyes of all, including children who just want to watch a baseball game.

I'm rooting for the Brewers because it is good to see pure, small-ball baseball win on the diamond. It's a joyful thing to see the Yankees and the Dodgers lose on the fundamentals.
People are rooting for the Brewers because their payroll is lower. Shouldn’t you root for the team that pays players? Jacob Misiorowski won’t be retained because a billionaire won’t pay him. The team that pays him is the villain? You shouldn’t have sympathy to any billionaire.

Thank you @realDonaldTrump for the decision NOT to livestream the execution.

Here’s a conversation I had with Marc Ramirez at @USATODAY about James Talarico. *paywall*

In a different day and time, where one might hope it would provoke in people some somber reflection upon the fragility of life, the atrocity of murder, and the inevitability of judgment, there might be some value found in public execution.

But people will hoot, howl, and thump their chests instead, as though they just delivered the kill shot in an FPS game. This culture isn’t serious enough to watch something like this, and the distance created by watching it over a livestream instead of in person makes it worse.
