Theologically, no, because his allegiance is to Yahweh, the ancient Hebrew god.
Scripturally, no, because his allegiance is to Christianity and the bible.
Geographically, no, because his allegiance is to Israel, the home of “god’s chosen people”.
Socially, no, because his allegiance to Christianity forbids him to make friends with Muslims or Jews.
Politically, no, because he must submit to his spiritual leaders, who teach annihilation of all who do not share their faith.
Domestically, no, because he is encouraged to take slaves and beat them if they are disobedient.
Religiously, no, because no other religion is accepted by his Yahweh except Christianity – intolerance.
Intellectually, no, because he cannot accept the separation of church and state – a founding principle of the USA.
Philosophically, no, because Christianity, Yahweh, and the bible do not allow freedom of religion and expression.
Democratically, no, because Christianity and democracy cannot coexist.
Spiritually, no, because the Christian god is neither loving nor kind.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
