The Debut Post of Now You Know

Greetings! Welcome to the debut post of my experiment with humanity. As an introduction to this blog (and inconsequently as an introduction to its author) the following information may prove beneficial.

This blog has been created by one who has been converted to misanthropy and misogyny by all the usual suspects. The attentive and observant reader will note that there is no place for readers' comments on this blog and there is no contact information for yours truly. There is a reason for that; namely, it is a blog wherein its creator will share knowledge and information freely with an unknown public. It will not be a forum for that unknown public to reciprocate. So sorry, but you see, when I am seeking knowledge or information, I do not seek it from strangers off the street, much less from anonymous individuals over the internet.

Instead, gentle readers, here you may find in the near future all sorts of topics presented and expounded upon, including current events, politics, literature, history, language, religion, and whatever else strikes my fancy, but not necessarily yours.

For those who dislike not being able to respond (or more accurately for those who dislike not being able to retort) there can be but one remedy:
surf on back, away from these pristine shores, back whence you came.

There is a reason for this blog's title. Often I have wondered about the old adage that "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." My wondering concerns not jurisprudence per se, and not lawyers or attorneys at all. My wondering has been whether "Ignorance of the law" is considered an excuse by God. The Catholic Church has a specific teaching about a certain type of ignorance called "invincible ignorance" which does excuse one before God. However, ultimately, rather than one counting on ignorance to excuse oneself before God, wouldn't it be better to be aware? Wouldn't it be better not to be ignorant?

And so . . .

And so, in this hypothetical situation of appearing before the throne of God on judgment day and excusing yourself with a plea of ignorance, THIS BLOG, or rather, THIS BLOGGER has every intention of making a pre-emptive strike against such a plea.

No, by the grace of God, you will NOT plead ignorance. You will NOT testify that you never knew any better because know one ever taught you anything better. You will not plead that you were never told.

On the contrary, yes, you have been told or you will have been told here, and I'm the one who is or will be doing the telling.

Here and now, in the only here and now that there is, you've been told and NOW YOU KNOW.
