Global Warming: The Lords Domain, Not Man’s!


Global warming guru admits he was wrong about climate change. The end of an era.

The global warming scam has been over for a long time, but there are still die-hard fanatics out there. Climate scientist James Lovelock is about to break the clue bat over their heads.Lovelock is a legendary guru of the global warming movement, and the author of books entitled The Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth Is Fighting Back – and How We Can Still Save Humanity and The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning: Enjoy It While You Can. It turns out you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it, because Lovelock, at age 92, is writing a new book in which he admits he was an “alarmist” and all of his earlier predictions were totally wrong.

No, really. Here’s what he says, as reported by MSNBC: “The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened,” Lovelock said. “The climate is doing its usual tricks. There’s nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now,” he said.“The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time… it the temperature has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising — carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that,” he added. He pointed to Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and Tim Flannery’s “The Weather Makers” as other examples of “alarmist” forecasts of the future. This is exactly the kind of stuff that gets reasonable people denounced as the equivalent of “Holocaust deniers” by the enraged primitives of the global-warming cult. Later in the MSNBC interview, Lovelock says “I’m not a denier,” even though he did, in fact, just deny the whole rotten anthropogenic global warming con job.

via Global warming guru admits he was wrong about climate change – HUMAN EVENTS.

Imagine that, a mere, silly man made a fool of, once again, by the Lord who created it all!

From Death to Life – W.E. Smith « Livingwalk – W.E. Smith

What follows is the expression of the Life in Abundance that the Father offers all of fallen mankind through His Son, our Lord, Savior and Brother! What follows has nothing whatsoever to do with man’s religion, it is so far above that sad joke that man’s religion ceases to exist in its presence!

If you want the Lord, then this is what it will take: die! die! die to self and this world, and only the Lord Himself can help you do this!

I would like to begin in with his word from Martin Luther -

“Human reason is easily offended by the vile shapes of the cross. It judges insane those who want to comfort, help, and care for others, or who boast about their great riches, righteousness, fortitude, victory over sin, death, and every evil, and about their joy, salvation, and eternal life, all while these same people are needy, weak, troubled, and despised, and are mistreated and killed as the most noxious enemies of the state and of religion, not by the rabble but by people of quality in both the political and the ecclesiastical realms. They consider themselves to have done God the greatest service when they have done this. And so when they promise eternal blessings to others while they themselves are perishing so miserably in the sight of the world, they are ridiculed and forced to hear: ‘Physician, heal yourself’ Lk 4:23! This is the source of the complaints throughout the Psalms: ‘I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people’ Ps 22:6. ‘Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help’ Ps 22:11.

“Therefore it is really a magnificent commendation of and praise for the Galatians that they were not offended by Paul’s weakness and trial but received him as an angel of God, indeed as Christ Jesus. It is a great and outstanding virtue to listen to an apostle. But it is a greater and truly Christian virtue to listen to one who was as miserable, weak, and contemptible as Paul here admits that he was among the Galatians, and to receive such a one as an angel from heaven and to hold him in such honor as though he were Christ Jesus, without being offended by his many and great weaknesses. In these words, therefore, he greatly praises the virtue of the Galatians, saying that it will be with him forever and is so gratifying to him that he wants everyone to know about it.”…

and then a few passages from the Word –

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 2 Cor. 4:7-12

You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first, and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. Gal. 4:13-14

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Cor. 12:9

America: “A Christian Nation?” Think Again! (Reprise)

With this being an election year, I thought I would remind everyone that the Lord has no part in this fraud we call a presidential election! The Lord will use all of this nation’s political backstabbing and corruption to further His own will and defeat His enemy, who rules with such impunity over this morally (and economically) bankrupt nation, but He will never embrace this Godless nation or its ways and agendas! Once again, read the following post and then tell me “the founding fathers” were practitioners of the Christian religion, not to mention true “born-from-above” sons of God.

****************************************************************************************

Originally posted on May 28, 2010.

I have written on this particular subject several times, but some new information has come to my attention that will even further serve to show the U.S. of A. was not founded on Christian principles and belief. As I’ve stated before, many or most of the “founding fathers” didn’t believe the bible to be anything other than a poorly-written man-made text; and, thus, they didn’t believe in a God who would be personal and loving enough to send His only begotten Son to die for them or anyone else.

Here, as examples of what I’m referring to, are just a few quotes from clergymen who knew George Washington, personally:

“When Congress sat in Philadelphia, President Washington attended the Episcopal Church. The rector, Dr. Abercrombie, told me that on the days when the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was to be administered, Washington’s custom was to arise just before the ceremony commenced, and walk out of the church. This became a subject of remark in the congregation, as setting a bad example. At length the Doctor undertook to speak of it, with a direct allusion to the President. Washington was heard afterwards to remark that this was the first time a clergyman had thus preached to him, and he should henceforth neither trouble the Doctor or his congregation on such occasions, and ever after that, upon communion days, ‘he absented himself altogether from church.’” [emphasis added]

(– The Reverend Bird Wilson, an Episcopal minister in Albany, New York, biographer of Bishop White, in his sermon on the “Religion of the Presidents,” published in the Albany Daily Advertiser, in 1831, quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents, pp. 26)

“I have diligently perused every line that Washington ever gave to the public, and I do not find one expression in which he pledges, himself as a believer in Christianity. I think anyone who will candidly do as I have done, will come to the conclusion that he was a Deist and nothing more.” [emphasis added]

(– The Reverend Bird Wilson, an Episcopal minister in Albany, New York, in an interview with Mr. Robert Dale Owen written on November 13, 1831, which was publlshed in New York two weeks later, quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents, pp. 27)

Washington: "A Deist and Nothing More!"

A person who makes no claim of belief in the Christ, and refuses to take part in the Lord’s supper, is, most likely, an unbeliever (unregenerate). Our first president, as Reverend Wilson stated, was “a Deist and nothing more”:

Deism:

Deists typically reject most supernatural events (prophecy, miracles) and tend to assert that God (or “The Supreme Architect”) has a plan for the universe that is not altered either by God intervening in the affairs of human life or by suspending the natural laws of the universe. What organized religions see as divine revelation and holy books, most deists see as interpretations made by other humans, rather than as authoritative sources.

Deism became prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries during the Age of Enlightenment, especially in what is now the United Kingdom, France, United States and Ireland, mostly among those raised as Christians who found they could not believe in either a triune God, the divinity of Jesus, miracles, or the inerrancy of scriptures, but who did believe in one god. Initially it did not form any congregations, but in time deism strongly influenced other religious groups, such as Unitarianism and Universalism, which developed from it. It continues to this day in the forms of classical deism and modern deism. [emphasis added]

via Deism – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Note the use of the words “enlightened” and “liberal” in Washington’s following statement:

Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society. [emphasis added]

(– George Washington, letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792, quoted from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom, also James A Haught, 2000 Years of Disbelief)

“Enlightened and liberal” This doesn’t sound much like a conservative American Christian speaking here, does it? That’s because it wasn’t a conservative Christian speaking. George Washington was an “enlightened” and “liberal-leaning” Deist. A Deist (agnostic), in my estimation, is nothing more than a hypocritical and cowardly atheist seeking to cover his temporal/eternal gluteus-maximus. Deism (agnosticism) is a “JUST IN CASE” religion/philosophy: “JUST IN CASE my atheism turns out to be false, in the end, I’ll claim, right now, to believe in a god of the universe: ‘The Great Architect’. In this way, then, I can do as I please, here and now, and not suffer any wrath and judgment in the next life; that is, if there truly is a next life and a god to judge me!” Atheists, unlike Deists, are at least honest about their hatred of all things pertaining to creation and their Creator.

Here is more proof of Washington’s, and the other “founding father’s”, almost anti-Christian stance?

Wilson: Early Presidents Not Religious

The founders of our nation were nearly all Infidels, and that of the presidents who had thus far been elected [Washington; Adams; Jefferson; Madison; Monroe; Adams; Jackson] not a one had professed a belief in Christianity….

“Among all our presidents from Washington downward, not one was a professor of religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism.” [emphasis added]

(– The Reverend Doctor Bird Wilson, an Episcopal minister in Albany, New York, in a sermon preached in October, 1831, first sentence quoted in John E Remsberg, Six Historic Americans, second sentence quoted in Paul F Boller, George Washington & Religion, pp. 14-15)

Thomas Jefferson

Here is further evidence of the “founding father’s” unbelief, only this time it’s Thomas Jefferson speaking:

Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787

I concur with you strictly in your opinion of the comparative merits of atheism and demonism, and really see nothing but the latter in the being worshiped by many who think themselves Christians.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Richard Price, Jan. 8, 1789 (Richard Price had written to TJ on Oct. 26. about the harm done by religion and wrote “Would not Society be better without Such religions? Is Atheism less pernicious than Demonism?”)

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Hopkinson, March 13, 1789

Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him [Jesus] by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Short, April 13, 1820

And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer [Jesus] of human errors.

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823

Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814 [emphasis added]

So, was Jefferson a believer in Jesus as the Son of God and Savior of all mankind?

“Question with boldness even the existence of a god… if there be one…”

“Such an addiction [faith in Christ] is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.”

“And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter.”

I see nothing in Jefferson’s proclamations, here, to back up any other conclusion than this: Jefferson denied the deity of Jesus the Christ, and, therefore, he could not have been a Christian. The whole basis for Christian belief is Jesus (the Son of God) and His death on the cross and resurrection. Just believing in Jesus as an historical figure is not enough:

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19For it is written,
“I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE,
AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE.”

20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; 23but WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, 24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1)

Jefferson’s most revealing statement, on the subject at hand, was this,

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.”

English common law was the basis for the American constitution!

Jefferson was not, in any way, shape or form, a Christian. Jefferson, like Washington, Paine and most of the other “founding fathers”, was merely an atheist masquerading as a “man of God” (a deist): his god was “reason” and “freedom”; Jesus was nothing more to Jefferson than a first century Gandhi! Jefferson was just like many of the other “founding fathers” in that he claimed belief in a supernatural being, but the supernatural being would turn out to be the false god of this age (2 Corinthians 4: 4). He was a man who spoke of the need for “enlightened reasoning” and yet could not discern anything beyond that which can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, felt or tripped over. Jefferson, like almost all of the other “enlightened and reasoning founding fathers”, was a spiritually deluded individual, an atheistic narcissist who, in reality, hated all things pertaining to a sovereign, loving, personal, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God.

These so-called “founding fathers” hadn’t, like our tainted history books claimed, left England to escape “religious persecution”, they had left England to escape the rule of an earthly monarch and their heavenly Father. They had left England to pursue their “enlightened” and atheistic/agnostic goals in life: “free moral agency”, which amounts to this, “If it feels good, do it!” Deism was merely the “founding father’s” cover, or disguise, which had helped to hide their atheist/agnostic beliefs and tendencies. Since many of the “New World” folks were devout Christians (Puritans etc), the “founding fathers” had to walk a narrow line between their atheistic and “enlightened” ways of doing business and the ways of the believers and followers of Christ they were about to rule over. The “founding fathers” didn’t want to be ruled by anyone, but they didn’t seem to have any problems with ruling others.

I share some of Washington’s and Jefferson’s dislike for organized Christianity, especially when it comes to Catholicism, but my dislike for organized Christianity, and religion in general, will never keep me from loving and seeking my Lord, Creator and Savior.

The point of this post, and all others I’ve written on this subject, is to exhort my brothers and sisters in Christ to stop mixing their belief and faith in the Lord with “The American Dream:” “love of country”, or patriotism, is idolatry! We cannot serve two masters:

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. [Matthew 6: 24]

America is not one nation under God nor has it ever been: the following motto should read, “In God we DO NOT trust!” The U.S. of A., when it comes to the Lord, is no different than any other nation on earth: it’s a Godless political/economic system whose constituents, for the most part, are in desperate need of the Lord’s Truth, Salvation, Peace and Life!

P.S.

Here is just one more example of this government’s constitution-driven and politically-correct disdain for anything pertaining to the Lord, and this is a recent news item:

House rejects amendment on chaplains’ prayers

by Ankita Rao
Religion News Service

WASHINGTON (RNS) The House on Thursday (May 27) rejected a proposed amendment that would have allowed military chaplains to close public events with faith-specific prayers.

The amendment, offered by Tea Party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., to the Military Construction Authorization Act, was deemed not relevant to the bill, Bachmann’s office said.

The amendment would have specified that “a chaplain shall have the prerogative to close the prayer according to the dictates of the chaplain’s own conscience.”

Bachmann’s proposed amendment comes after church-state separationists have tussled with military chaplains over the appropriateness of praying “in Jesus’ name.” Secularists say it’s insulting to nonbelievers; Christian clergy say they know no other way to pray. (emphasis added)

Americans Love Character Assassination (For Certain People, That Is!)

Joe Paterno: The latest victim of the Godless and greed-driven media!

If there is any one thing modern Americans love even more than their rights, greed, war, and sex, it’s the tearing down of traditional icons by the media of both political sides. America has become a nation, because of its Godlessness and well deserved GUILT, that loves to see anyone torn to pieces for making a mistake. But, in particular, America loves to see a traditional icon (or anything traditional, for that matter) torn to pieces. In my opinion, this societal illness is tantamount to the Roman citizenry of two thousand years ago salivating over gladiators killing each other in the coliseum.

{Note: by traditional icons, I mean men and women who have and will stand for the good, those who will stand for something other than their own self interests and gratification. By traditional icons, I mean those who still hold to the notion that the wellbeing of others is more important than their own, whether they be of Christ or not. Sadly, the few people left in the world like this are becoming more and more the targets of the low-life and self-absorbed (“self-actualized”) multitudes who slither about on this earth, and who make life a living hell for everyone but themselves! You know who you are!}

Does anyone out there ever notice how worthless idiots like Lindsay Lohan can break the law time after time and no one in the x and y generations is appalled at all? Lohan even thumbs her nose at the California judges and all she gets for her blatant disregard for “the law” is another legal pat on the wrist, while Hollywood, mindless and moral deviates make apologies for poor little, drunk and stoned Lindsay.

And have you ever noticed how molestation of children by gays is almost totally ignored: The Man-Boy Association, for instance, while heterosexual men, in particular, are tried, found guilty, and executed by the press and public opinion? And all of this travesty of justice happens before the first court date has even been set. Then the judges, who are elected (not appointed, as they should be), and, therefore, must kowtow to the voters like any other politician, are forced to make judgments based on their reelection strategies, as opposed to the evidence, their judgment and true justice!

Yes, sir, just let anyone who doesn’t partake of this Hollywood/Darwinian/atheist/feminist/sodomite culture make a mistake, and the media crap will immediately hit the politically-correct fan. Such is the case with Coach Joe Paterno of Penn State University. Coach Paterno has been teaching and coaching at Penn State since I have been sucking wind, and I am almost 62 years old.

Yesterday, my reason for writing this post became even more evident. Bur first, let me give the background of what is really troubling me. As you’ve probably heard, since it is on every sports and news broadcast, a former coach at Penn State, Jerry Sandusky, has been arrested and charged with sexual assault on a number of young boys. It seems that a graduate assistant even witnessed one of these attacks, some years back (2002, I believe?), and reported it to Coach Paterno the next day. Coach Paterno then turned the matter over to his immediate supervisor, the athletic director, which was Paterno’s only real responsibility in the matter.

I worked in a school system and at a major corporation, and, in both cases, there was a “chain of command,” a “chain of responsibility.” If I witnessed a wrong doing, I was to report it to my superior, and then it was their responsibility to get it to the right people in the chain of command, not mine. And, in particular, I was never to go to anyone else, in particular, the police or any other form of authority. That was the responsibility of those higher up in the chain of command. My only duty was to report what I had seen or heard, if there was any wrongdoing of any kind. This is exactly what Coach Paterno did in this situation! When the graduate assistant reported to him, Coach Paterno reported to his athletic director immediately. It was then the responsibility of the athletic director and those above him to handle the situation, not Coach Paterno. Coach Paterno’s responsibility, after reporting the incident, was to do what he was being paid to do, coach the football team!

This is what administrators are paid for, they are there to handle these kinds of situations. That is why there is a “chain of command” to begin with. But in Penn State’s case, the chain of command failed miserably, and Coach Paterno has taken the fall for Sandusky and the administration at Penn State!

Yesterday, November 9th, 2011, the board of trustees at Penn State University fired Coach Joe Paterno. They openly admitted, during a press conference last night, that they didn’t have all the information on the “sex-abuse scandal.” But their lack of information wasn’t enough to stop them from offering up Coach Paterno as a sacrifice, a scapegoat!

Coach Paterno has dedicated his life to this university, and what did Coach Paterno get for his sixty years of dedicated service to the students of Penn State University? A telephone call telling him he was fired! And the coach had even tendered his resignation. All Coach Paterno wanted was to finish the season (3 games, and post-season), and retire, but that wouldn’t have taken the heat off of the board of directors and administration, who, by the way, are the ones totally accountable for this mess, beyond Jerry Sandusky.

If I hadn’t known what had happened at Penn State over the past thirteen years, I would have believed, from what I heard on the news and sports shows yesterday, that Coach Paterno had been arrested on sexual assault charges. Jerry Sandusky, the ALLEGED (not convicted) perpetrator of these crimes against children, was only mentioned in passing, as was the administration, athletic director and student assistant. It was evident the media machine was out to do away with Coach Paterno, and the media machine, as usual, had its way!

Coach Jim Tressel: One More Scapegoat!

A similar thing happened to Ohio State’s coach, Jim Tressel, although the situation was not as dire, and no one was physically harmed. Coach Tressel found himself caught up in a mess with five of his student athletes. They had broken an NCAA rule by selling their sports memorabilia and awards to get tattoos. Coach Tressel did fail, but his failure was a lack of judgment, which was due to his desire to protect his players from an outdated and asinine NCAA rule. But, just like Coach Paterno, Coach Tressel was sacrificed so the board and administrators would not be bothered by the press, and Ohio State would not be badmouthed by ESPN, and the like, any further.

It’s the lowlife scum at ESPN, Fox Sports Ohio (The Dan Patrick Show), and the major cable news-channels, who set out to destroy both of these fine coaches, and they had their way! They knew if they went after Jerry Sandusky that no viewer, after a few days, would pay any attention, since few people even know who Jerry Sandusky is. But Joe Paterno (and Jim Tressel) is a well known name in college sports, so, needless to say, Paterno was their target, even though he was not the perpetrator of the crimes against children, and fulfilled his responsibly by reporting what he had heard to his superior.

These modern-day sportscasters are mindless, thick-necked idiots who would sell their own children for a juicy story that might just bring them some more notoriety and a few more bucks. These men, for the most part, were failures in college and pro sports, so they now take out their warped revenge on those who have been successful, like Coach Paterno and Coach tressel! These sportscasters are the type of “men” (vermin) who now make this sick world go around every day. We can see them in the state, local and federal government, and on Wall Street, and in corporate headquarters, and on the pulpits on Sunday mornings. But, thank the Lord, there will be a day, sometime, when this type of man will be held accountable for his actions! I long for that day!

Whatever happened to loyalty? Where are the true men in this world? If there are any true men of God in this world, then where are they? I watched the Penn State board members last night and I was sickened: a bunch of nerdy, self-actualized, girly-men afraid of bad press. Gutless wonders, every last one!!

What happened to Coach Paterno and Coach Tressel is just a symptom of a much larger disease. And that disease is the Lack of the Lord in this world, which is leading to there being no men of character, integrity and guts to run this country or the world! There ain’t much hope, except in the Lord and the next life!

P.S.

11/12/2011

Finally, after the feeding frenzy of the mass-media, which has been going on now for the last three days, I heard an official from the State of Pennsylvania state what I had stated above.

According to this official, Joe Paterno, by reporting what he had heard to his superior (the athletic director), was not only following the right procedure according to Penn State University, but was also adhering to a Pennsylvania law!

But was there any apology coming from CNN, the channel where I heard this report? Absolutely NONE! Nor will there be! We live in a world where those in the wrong never have to backtrack and apologize for being wrong, especially in the warped world of broadcast and print journalists. Joe Paterno was suppose to grovel, and for no less than doing the right thing and even obeying the law of his state, but “reporters”, sports and news, are evidently above reproach, above an apology and admitting to rushing to judgment?

Does anyone but me, and Franco Harris, a former football player at Penn State (Pittsburgh Steeler), see that the Penn State board of trustees used the press to prosecute, judge, sentence and execute Joe Paterno’s character as a coach, teacher and human being? And many of us, the largest majority, allowed them to do this.

Why are most Americans so anxious to see a person who does good in this evil world brought down? Why has this kind of character assassination become such a perverted form of entertainment in the “good old US of A?

Here is what the Word has to say about man’s (not the Lord’s) judgment on others:

1“Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2“For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4“Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5“YOU HYPOCRITE, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. (Matthew 7)

American’s Nonexistent Conscience: “Woe to You, Hypocrites!”

The Truth Hurt?

I am always somewhat amused and irritated when I see Americans frothing at the mouth over “sex-crimes.” I am certain that the stench from American’s hypocritical protestations about “sex-crimes” nauseates our Lord in heaven! After all, Americans, of all the peoples on earth, should be very quiet when it comes to anything about sexual perversion, and “sex-crimes” in particular: child molestation. etc.

The Lord said to the self-righteous, and blood guilt ravaged, hypocrites who led Israel,

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES…”

Perhaps the Lord is now saying to Americans, “Woe to you, hypocrites!”
Why would the Lord be saying this to the new chosen people on earth (what a joke)?

Well let’s see, Americans are appalled at anyone having sex with a child, as they should be. And yet, Americans (American women, in particular) not only turn a blind eye to other atrocities American’s commit against children, but they even openly support these atrocities; just like the feminists are doing in the jpeg above.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, BUT ALSO GIVE HEARTY APPROVAL TO THOSE WHO PRACTICE THEM. (Romans 1)

These people speak of the stolen innocence of children who have been molested, and that this loss of innocence will last a lifetime. But at least a molested child has a life to live, even with lost innocence, whereas an aborted baby has neither life nor innocence. Thank the Lord that these murdered-in-their-mother’s-womb babies are with the Lord in heaven. But they were still robbed of this life, and by their own mothers. And life, unless I’m totally confused, is more precious than innocence; which will be lost, over time, by a child living in this world anyway. This hypocritical notion that innocence is more precious than life can be attributed to one thing, and one thing only, evolution/natural-selection, which devalues human life.

Hitler is alive and well! He has returned as the American Feminist Movement!

When it comes to American’s personal rights, in particular sodomites and feminists, then their overwhelming concern for children seems to be completely nonexistent! “Woe to you, hypocrites!”

Do you find this jpeg horrible and nauseating? So do I! You know why it is horrible and nauseating to us? Because these babies (children) were alive and well in their mother’s wombs, until they were brutally murdered! But the constitution and the “law of the land” come before the Law of our Lord and the right to LIFE of an unborn child!!
American men and women have sex like animals, and when the woman gets pregnant (another life in her womb), then, by law, she can commit murder (genocide), and on her own unborn child. I find this to be much more appalling than molestation of a child. In other words, when a woman becomes inconvenienced (because of her, and her partner’s, harlotry), by an “unwanted pregnancy,” then she simply has a “hit” put out on her own child! She, and her partner, if he is even made aware, become murderers in the eyes of our Lord. “Woe to you, Hypocrites!”

A mother murdering her own child is more perverse and demented than any act of sodomy or pedophilia, in my opinion. You talk about “unnatural” and “betrayal”, there is nothing so unnatural as a mother who not only doesn’t protect her child, but murders him or her in her own womb. There is no betrayal a human being can perpetrate on another that is worse than abortion! NONE!!!

Lastly, America is a warring nation. A nation that cares little for the civilian populations it destroys in the name of freedom (democracy), not God! So I guess Americans have no problem with blowing up children, just as long as their genitalia wasn’t touched. “Woe to you, Hypocrites!”

I despise injustice and hypocrisy, and this country is filled with hypocrites, and most Americans wouldn’t know justice if they were smacked in the head with it. And when American feminists go on and on about pedophilia, I literally have daggers in my mind and heart. Most, not all, pedophiles are mentally and emotionally ill. These sick people, men and women, have little control over themselves, they aren’t committing these horrendous acts because it’s their right. They, unlike American feminists, are not in control of their faculties. The American feminist and their Nazi-like doctors know exactly what they are perpetrating on alive children in the womb, so they are without any excuse! “Woe to you, Hypocrites!”

I heard a song the other day, and it was referring to this country as “God’s country.” If I were this songwriter, I would sit down, take a good look around, and reconsider the words I had written! This country is a hypocritical mess that is on its way out! It is anything but God’s country!!

What if “Hell” is…

An Actual Place, or a Spiritual Metaphor for Something Even Worse?

I am not a proponent of the eternal-damnation in fire and brimstone that the apostate, nominal “church” panders. But I do believe, when this age of grace ends, there will be eternal penalties for those who have rejected Christ and chosen, instead, to worship at the alter of Satan’s world-system.

I have contemplated, for a quarter of a century now, what hell (Gehenna) would be like, if this place, this “lake of fire,” is truly to exist after the Lord has opened the books and judged the multitudes. The literal fire and brimstone hell, which the “church” has preached for centuries now, has never made much sense to me. I believe that “fire,” “brimstone,” “the worm that never dies,” and “the gnashing of teeth,” are all just Spiritual metaphors for the eternal-life that will be experienced by those who have rejected their Lord and Savior, a life spent in eternity without any semblance of the Lord’s protection and blessings being in effect: no love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, compassion/kindness, goodness, gentleness, or self-control whatsoever, nothing but anger, hatred, bigotry, bitterness, greed, war, factions, regret, remorse, loneliness, pain, anguish, and with no escape, not even by death, since death will have been abolished.

CS Lewis, in his allegory, The Great Divorce, portrays those, at the end of this age, who have rejected the Lord as becoming, over time, so infinitesimally small that those in heaven can no longer perceive them. And he portrays those who loved the Lord and His Truth, who are now in heaven, as having become much larger than they ever were in this life, and thus the reason they can no longer truly perceive those who have been lost in hell.

Lewis also makes clear that not every person considered bad in this life is, therefore, condemned to shrink to a size that will allow them to fit into hell, no more than every person considered a good Samaritan in this life is predestined to become large enough to fit into heaven. THE LORD WILL NOT BE FOOLED BY MERE RELIGIOSITY, AND HE IS THE ULTIMATE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. This, I believe, was the end purpose of Lewis’ message.

21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me ON THAT DAY, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ (Matthew 7)

I imagine hell a little differently than Lewis. I see what people refer to as hell, today, which is actually “Gehenna,” a literal valley outside the city of Jerusalem, as something resembling the earth in its fallen current state.

The Word of God tells us that this current heaven and earth will pass away, and then the Lord will make all things new:

10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. (2 Peter 3)

1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”

5And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21)

But, what if “the lake of fire,” also referred to in the Word of God, is nothing but a metaphor for a place, much like earth now, where those who rejected the Lord will be cast-off for all eternity?

12“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. 13“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. 15OUTSIDE are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying. (Revelation 22)

Who are those on the OUTSIDE whom the Lord is referring to here? If the unregenerate are thrown into the same “lake of fire” as Satan and his angels, then who are these “immoral persons” outside the gates of the new Jerusalem?

11Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20)

So, then, “the lake of fire” must be a Spiritual metaphor for an actual place. With this background, then, I can now give my perception of what this place called hell will be like, if it truly will ever exist.

I imagine hell as being not greatly different from the planet we live on now: always in some kind of man-induced turmoil or natural disaster. As I stated above, I also see hell as a place devoid of all our Lord’s attributes: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.

Imagine, if you will, this current planet/world with one man-made and natural disaster after another, and without any of the love, compassion, grace, or protective power, of our Lord and Savior to be found anywhere. Imagine a planet/world where every single person is TOTALLY looking out for their own interests (even beyond how people are now) and have no concern, whatsoever, for anyone other person than themselves. It is all about surviving to these lost folks, and yet they have no need to survive, since death has been abolished. Imagine, these lost souls are fully aware of what has happened to them, and why they are where they are, so they are filled with a bitter hatred towards God and everyone else around them; as they were in this life, but to the ultimate extreme:

47“If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell, 48where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. (Mark 9)

Their worm never dies and the fire is not quenched: “their WORM that does not die;” a life of death (unable to die, unable to not exist), and “The FIRE that is not quenched;” their bitter-hatred for the Lord God and all others, the self-loathing, and the knowledge that their miserable existence will have no end.

In Romans 1 and 2 Timothy 3, the Lord, through the Apostle Paul, reveals the way these people will be in this current life. But I believe they will be this way in the next life also, only, this time, without the Spirit of God to control them or their treacheries:

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. (Romans 1)

The 1992 Los Angeles Riots

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 6For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

This last description of mankind paints a clear picture of the eternal hell I perceive being at the end of this age, if there truly will be one.

It isn’t the actual place where these rejectors of our Lord and Savior will live forever that will be the cause of their eternal bitterness, hatred, violence, perversion, pain, regret and sorrow upon sorrow, it’s the rejectors themselves who will make that place a living hell; just as they had for many other people in this age. It is these lost folk’s Godlessness that will create the hell they will dwell in; the worm that will never die, the gnashing of teeth and the fire that is never quenched.

This is the picture of hell, if there be such a place at that time, that I perceive. Others may see hell in another way, but this would be hell to me, and much more so than little red devils, with pitchforks, in a cavern filled with fire and brimstone!

“No Child Left Behind:” One of Many Meaningless, Politically-Motivated Slogans (Follow-Up #2)

One example of the children "RAISED BY THE ENTIRE VILLAGE!"

This is a follow-up post to “No Child Left Behind:” One of Many Meaningless, Politically-Motivated Slogans, and “No Child Left Behind:” One of Many Meaningless, Politically-Motivated Slogans (Follow-Up)

Please read, at the least, “No Child Left Behind:” One of Many Meaningless, Politically-Motivated Slogans (Follow-Up) before you read this final post. That way, this post will make more sense to you! I hope?

6) “IT TAKES A MATURE, RESPONSIBLE AND LOVING [CHRIST-LIKE] FATHER AND MOTHER TO RAISE A CHILD, NOT THE ENTIRE SCREWED-UP VILLAGE!”

“IT TAKES THE ENTIRE VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD” This is what the postmodern/politically-correct/atheists, today, pander as the way to properly raise a child. They, however, have an ulterior motive, in my opinion, and that motive is, if “the entire village raises the child,” then the “entire village” can tell each and every American parent how to raise their child: “the village” can invade not only the school-systems, which it already owns and operates, but the parent’s homes as well, and indoctrinate them and their children in a postmodern-atheistic way of life. A postmodern/feminist/sodomite/atheist way of life, a despotic political agenda, that is set on drawing all parents, and their children, away from the truth and life of our Creator, Lord and Savior.

{One of my reasons for writing these posts has been to make parents more skeptical of what school and government officials put out there as cutesy, little slogans, which have the sole purpose of making parents believe, in a perennial sophomoric way, that these school and government officials have nothing other than their children’s best interests at heart. They do NOT have your children’s best interests at heart! These vermin are looking out only for their own ungodly and doomed-to-make-things-worse, political-ideological desires and agendas. Parents, you and your children are nothing more than pawns that these manipulative and despotic vermin seek to move around a world-sized chess-board. Wake up, sleepers, and smell the coffee!}

If you have ever watched the evening news and witnessed what happens in African villages, then you should know “the entire village” can’t protect itself, or “the child,” from starvation, rape, mass murder and genocide. So, then, how can any “American village,” modeling itself after this African version, “raise the child” properly? In particular, how can the American, inner-city ghetto, which suffers almost the same ills as its African counterpart, truly raise its children properly?

{For those of you who play manipulative games with words, if you don’t know what I mean by PROPERLY, then look up the definition in Webster’s. I’m sick to death of wasting time on semantics!}

The Lord gave a child to its mother and father only! He did not give the child to be a cog in the political/social machinery of this or any other man-conceived society and government.

If we want to get back to a sane time, some fifty years ago, when children were raised by their parents, and they didn’t take automatic weapons to school to murder their peers and teachers, then we must get “the village” (the local, state and federal governments and morally-bankrupt school-systems) out of our homes and away from our children. It is “the entire village” that is truly, and without hesitation, molesting our children, educationally, philosophically, physically/morally (as in endorsed sexual misconduct: “sex-ed”). In this case, and many more, the Parts (children) are, by far, greater (of more importance) than the Whole (society and government).

If parents want to put an end to the negative effects being perpetrated on their children by this despotic, Godless society/government, then they will need to do everything they can to keep their children from being indoctrinated by its eduction-system, entertainment-industry (MTV, music, movies, sitcoms, etc), and nightly-news propaganda-machine.

Parents must Know what is going on in their children’s lives. And the best way for them to know is by taking control of their children’s education. In other words, parents, take responsibility for your children and home-school them.

As I stated in the slogan: “IT TAKES A MATURE, RESPONSIBLE AND LOVING [CHRIST-LIKE] FATHER AND MOTHER TO RAISE A CHILD…” A life centered in Christ, and His way and truth, is the sole responsibility of the parent and child, not “the entire village”.

I have written on this subject before:

“It Takes An Entire Village to Raise A Child?” In the Good Old Hedonistic & “I-Did-It-My-Way” U. S. of A.? « An Outsider’s Sojourn.

****************************************************************************************

The following is yet another example of why we shouldn’t allow “the entire village” to be involved in the raising of our children!

VACAVILLE, CA – When Taylor McGinley sneezed in her health class at Will C. Wood High School a few weeks ago a student replied with “God, bless you,” but it’s what teacher Steven Cuckovich said after the sneeze that now has students questioning the teacher’s agenda.

“(Cuckovich) said, ‘Do you think that girl is evil, do you think the evil spirits are coming out of her?’ And the guy that said “bless you” was like ‘No, I was just doing what I was supposed to do when somebody sneezes, not trying to be rude,’” Taylor said, referring to the incident.

McGinley said Cuckovich never mentioned or referred to the expression again, but in Erica Fagan’s class Cuckovich is deducting points from students’ grades if someone said “bless you.”

“The first time (the student) did it (Cuckovich) took 25 points off of everybody in the class’s grade for one person saying it and then somebody did it the next day and he did it again,” Fagan said.

According to Fagan, Cuckovich told the students sneezing and saying “bless you” is a distraction and takes time out of learning.

via Vacaville student docked 25 points on test for saying ‘God bless you’ | news10.net.

****************************************************************************************

7) “‘JOHNNY HAS TWO MOMMIES,’ THEN JOHNNY WILL HAVE MENTAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL (SEXUAL) PROBLEMS!”

Like it or not, perversion is perversion, and mental and emotional/spiritual illness is mental and emotional/spiritual illness. Homosexuality is a disease of the mind, body and heart (the soul), and, as with any other disease, homosexuality must be treated so those infected with it may be healed. Homosexuals, like anyone else who is sick, must make the decision, for themselves (it is their responsibility), to seek a treatment and cure. And the physician the homosexual should seek out is the only Physician Who can truly help them be healed: their Creator, Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

People were not made by the Lord to become what He detests! The Lord is not a mentally and emotionally ill pervert, and all of us, every last one, were made in His and His Father’s image. We were not created to be perverse!

Perversion will beget perversion (in any form, not just homosexuality), just as violence will beget violence. If Johnny has sodomites for “parents”, then he will pay the price for that sometime, and in some way, sooner or later in life.

Enough said.

8) “DO NOT VALUE ANYTHING SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS DIVERSE (DIFFERENT), INSTEAD, LEARN TO DISCERN WHAT IS WORTHY OF BEING VALUED, WHETHER IT BE DIVERSE OR NOT!”

“RESPECT IS NOT A RIGHT!”

The postmodern-atheist calls on everyone to have an “open-mind,” “be tolerant,” and “value diversity”. The postmodern-atheist, however, doesn’t always practice what he or she preaches. For instance, when it comes to Christians, apostate or sons of God, the postmodern-atheist is anything but open-minded, tolerant, and a valuer of diversity, and, therefore, the postmodern-atheist is a hypocrite. But I digress.

I will not value anything merely on the basis of its diversity: the difference between something and everything else around it. This is one of the major problems I see with this country: the almost total blindness needed to be “tolerant” and “politically-correct” (a willful lacking-in-discernment) is what has led to the majority of young Americans, in almost every aspect of life, being such obnoxious panderers of mediocrity.

Respect is not a right, it is earned. And if a foreign culture is not deemed worthy of my respect, then that culture, no matter how politically-correct (politically-IN) it may be, will never get it! And if a human being is not deemed worthy of my respect (beyond respect for a human life), then that human being, no matter how politically-correct (politically-IN) he or she may be, will never get it! I decide who and what receives my respect, not this lame society’s middle-school-peer-pressure tactics: “tolerance,” political-correctness,” and “valuing diversity.”

For more on my stand on these two issues, I refer you to slogan numbers 4 and 5 in the last post.

A True Hero!

9) “HERO IS AN OVERUSED WORD TODAY!”

The word hero has lost its meaning and impact. Today, everyone is a hero: paid soldiers are heroes, cops on the beat are heroes, people who give blood are heroes.

Not in my opinion! I saw heroes on September 11, 2001. I saw New York City firemen climbing the stairs of the World Trade Center towers for the sole purpose of saving lives, and you could see in the expression on their faces, they knew they were going to die. These men were true HEROES! An overweight cop eating a donut and drinking coffee, or a soldier killing people in the name of democracy and freedom, these are not heroes. True heroes put their lives at risk to save lives, not brutally take them.

10) “I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO MY LORD AND SAVIOR!”

“‘TO LIVE IS CHRIST,’ NOT DEMOCRACY/CAPITALISM!”

“CHRIST IS NOT AN AMERICAN!”

I make no oath or pledge to anyone or anything other than my Lord and Savior, and, by His command, I don’t even make an oath to Him.

33“Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, ‘YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD.’ 34“But I say to you, MAKE NO OATH (NO PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE) AT ALL, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35OR BY EARTH, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. 36“Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37“But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of EVIL. (Matthew 5)

My reason for going on living in this rotten world is due solely to Christ being my life. I have no other reason to live, but Christ:

21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. (Philippians 1)

Listen up! Christ is not an American, nor has He ordained this country to be the Christian savior of the world.

11) “…GOVERNMENT OF THE WEALTHY AND POWERFUL FEW, BY THE WEALTHY AND POWERFUL FEW, FOR THE WEALTHY AND POWERFUL FEW…”

This slogan speaks for itself!

Happy 10th Anniversary of 9/11?

The One and Only "WMD"!

Happy tenth anniversary of “9/11″!

This is the day when we should remember the thousands of innocent lives that perished at “ground zero:” the unfortunate and, for the most part, unknowing folks who died for the horrific crimes (sins) committed in Afghanistan by the American wealthy-elite and their politicians (Regan and crew), in the mid to late 1980s. The horrific crimes committed against the Afghan people, which had afforded them the opportunity of living in what was left of a war-battered country, for over a decade, after the US of A used them to bring down the USSR.

Yes, let us remember the innocent workers and 343 firemen (the true heroes), and their families, who died on “9/11″ for the sins of the Godless, greedy war-mongers in Washington and on Wall Street (Cheney and Bush, and the like). But let us also remember the Afghan men, women and children who suffered for years because our country didn’t keep its promises to them. Regan and crew had left the Afghan people to fend for themselves in abject poverty and destruction beyond belief, which the US of A was more than partially responsible for, and all in the name of democracy and capitalism.

And then let us also remember the hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children this country has murdered, in its “war on terror,” since 2003, in Iraq and Afghanistan. America lost 3000-plus people on 9/11, while Iraq and Afghanistan have lost hundreds of thousands of husbands, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, children, grandchildren, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins!

“Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I shall repay!” Not in this country! Americans are all evidently little-gods who can seek their own revenge anytime they feel like it!

So, while you’re waving your flag, today, and shouting, “USA, USA, USA,” just, for a second, remember those, in far-away places, who have been used, tortured and murdered by the gun-ho soldiers (paid mercenaries) of the good old US of A. And remember, for those of you who are believers, weak-in-faith as you may be, that, to most Islamic countries, America is considered to be a Christian nation. So what this nation does, even though it is as Godless as all the rest, reflects on the Creator, Lord and Savior!

The Lord will ultimately always take the abuse for this country’s hypocritical-patriotic and despotic-driven acts of vengeance and greed!

The Lord’s Wrath and the Conservative, Bible-Thumping Hypocrite

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a few weeks back, said Hurricane Irene was a judgment from God on the east coast, because of the fiasco over the debt crisis. Later, after receiving much grief, and making a public-spectacle of our Lord and Savior, Bachmann backpedaled on her statement by claiming she was “joking.”

It would seem to me, however, if the Lord is pouring out His wrath on the good old US of A, through His natural laws, that He’s not going after the liberal/atheist-leaning east coast, but, instead, the areas of the country where conservative-bible-thumping religionists reside: the deep south, the southwest and the Mississippi River valley.

Satan, according to the word of God, has been given temporary dominion over the political/economic systems of this world. But the earth still belongs to the Lord:

14“Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it. (Deuteronomy 10)

Over the past year, Americans have witnessed “record-breaking” floods in the Missouri and Mississippi River valleys, “record-breaking” outbreaks of tornadoes all throughout the south, an earthquake in Virginia (conservative/religious south), a drought that consumes the whole State of Texas and Oklahoma, as well as most of the Gulf states (south), and now wild-fires in Texas that threaten to consume a large portion of the state.

If we believe the Lord is still in charge of what the postmodern-atheist, and many lukewarm Christians, refers to as “mother nature,” then it would appear He is very unhappy with the areas of this country that claim to know Him, but use Him strictly as a magic-genie or political tool.

The Apostle Peter had this problem early on, and here is how the Lord responded to him:

21From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You.” 23But He turned and said to Peter, “GET BEHIND ME, SATAN! You are a stumbling block to Me; for YOU ARE NOT setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.” (Matthew 16)

Bachmann, and her hypocritical buddies on the conservative-right, may want to stay away from making predictions about what the Lord is and is not doing. Bachmann, and the like, should leave my Lord and Savior out of their disgusting and evil political dealings. Otherwise she, and many other pew-sitting bible-thumpers in this ungodly country, may experience the following from the Lord on that day of judgment in the future:

15“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So then, you will know them by their fruits.

21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ (Matthew 7)

“No Child Left Behind:” One of Many Meaningless, Politically-Motivated Slogans (Follow-Up)

This is a follow up post to “No Child Left Behind:” One of Many Meaningless, Politically-Motivated Slogans.

In the original post, I made up some slogans that convey my thoughts and opinions on politics and life in America today. And, since some are pretty controversial, I thought I would go through them and explain where I’m coming from.

1) “AMERICANS WHO PROFIT THE MOST SHOULD PAY THE MOST TAXES!”

“ASK NOT WHAT WE CAN DO FOR CORPORATE AMERICA, ASK WHAT CORPORATE AMERICA CAN DO FOR US!”

This is pretty cut and dry. America is like a huge country-club, and everyone in this country-club [supposedly] pays dues (taxes) to belong. There are different levels of membership in the American country-club: some pay more dues in the club (or should anyway), because they get the extreme perks, the top benefits, the club offers, and some can only afford to pay a small amount of dues, so they get less.

Those who benefit most from this corporate-capitalist country-club should be FORCED to pay the most dues (taxes), since they enjoy the greatest benefits this country-club has to offer. And, on the other side, those who benefit less from this country-club should pay the least in dues (taxes). This, however, is not the case! The wealthy-elite pay hardly anything, when they are basically getting all the perks the club has to offer. Meanwhile, the folks who truly can’t afford the smallest amount of dues are picking up the tab for the wealthy-elite. This would be fine if this were a monarchy, since, then, it would be known up front that the wealthy and powerful would maintain and grow, while the peasants struggled in the dirt and “ate cake.” But this is the land of the so-called “American Dream,” and thus this kind of membership program is nothing but a manipulative, hypocritical lie, a complete fraud!

There was a time, some fifty years ago, when the wealthy-elite paid taxes at a rate of 90%. I am not for that, by the way. But I do believe a 60% tax-rate, WITHOUT ANY LOOPHOLES OF ANY KIND, for the wealthy-elite would be more than fair. The American middle-class made these people rich and powerful. And how do the wealthy-elite repay the middle class for all of their hard work and sacrifices over the years? They repay them with work outsourced to other countries, bald-faced lies, and corporate/bank corruption that has basically destroyed the world economy.

Here is an example of the out-of-balance tax-system I’m referring to:

CEOs who make more than their companies pay in taxes

Twenty-five of the 100 highest paid U.S. CEOs (including some with Chicago ties) earned more last year than their companies paid in federal income tax, a pay study by a Washington think tank said on Wednesday. See who some of them are, in order of their compensation. To see the entire survey, click here.

2)”AMERICA: ONE NATION [NOT] UNDER GOD!”

“IN CORRUPT POWER AND GREED WE TRUST!”

This nation is as ungodly as the most perverse and corrupt nation that ever existed on the face of the earth, including communist countries. In fact, communist countries are honest about their atheistic political and economic ideologies: unlike the hypocrites in this country, the communists don’t use our Lord and Savior as a political device or magic genie. The communists are upfront about their atheism, and, therefore, although I despise atheism, I can respect them more than the disgusting hypocritical nature of most Americans.

I have written on this subject more than once:

Deism, “Reason” + the “Founding Fathers” = “The Separation of Church and State” « An Outsider’s Sojourn.

America: “A Christian Nation?” Think Again! (Reprise) « An Outsider’s Sojourn.

3) “‘FREEDOM AIN’T FREE,’ THEN THE COST IS TOO HIGH!”

“Freedom ain’t free” is just another low-life, idiotic/patriotic excuse for going to war and murdering tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children: it’s nothing more than a capitalist-propaganda slogan to get ignorant/patriotic Americans in a flag-waving, shouting, “U S A-U S A,” frenzy, so the wealthy-elite can wage war and get wealthier and more powerful. The US of A, today, makes the Japan of one-hundred years ago look like Gandhi, when it comes to waging war-for-profit on the poor and weak, the disenfranchised in this world!

If the sacrificing of human life at the alter of freedom (democracy) and capitalism is the cost to be paid, then the cost is not only too high, it’s despotic and inhumane, it is evil!

4) “DON’T TOLERATE THE ‘PLAYER,’ AND INTENSELY HATE THE ‘GAME!’”

“ALL RAP IS (C)RAP, BAD ROCK IS A (C)ROCK!”

“AMERICA: THE LAND OF ARTISTIC MEDIOCRITY, AND THE HOME OF THE CULTURALLY DEAD!”

Except for a few true artists (Aaron Copeland, Robert Rauschenberg, George Gershwin, Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp), over the last two-hundred and thirty-five years, the US of A has always been mediocre at best, when it comes to art/culture. This artistic/cultural mediocrity, however, is now due to America’s incessant need to kowtow to the low-life, criminal nature of “the player,” the three-chord-wonder rocker, and the Hollywood starlet. These so-called “artists” (vermin) are controlled and promoted by the greed-driven corporate-sows (the Hollywood and record-industry executives) who live for one purpose only, to make more and more money.

The downfall of American art/culture began with Blues and Jazz, in the early part of the twentieth century, and has come to fruition, today, in the (artistically speaking) bastard offspring of these two forms of folk-music: “rock and roll,” “rap” and “hip-hop.”

{Jazz and Blues, in their original form, have an artistic quality, but as folk music only. Art is, and should always remain, elitist, and by elitist I mean, not everyone who can write a simple song or poem, or dance a jig, should be considered an artist. Elitism is at the heart of the arts, whether it be politically-correct or not. True art, in my opinion (and I’m speaking from a secular point of view here), should raise man up above the animal kingdom, and above the base, mundane and mediocre aspects of his daily life. Man is mediocre in so many ways, but art, up until recently, has always been the one area man held up to a higher standard. Art was something, wrong or right, that man wouldn’t sell out, until now, that is. Thanks to the postmodern mental-illness, which causes its victims to be rendered incapable of distinguishing between beautiful and ugly, worthy and unworthy, and GOOD and EVIL, everything, in an artistic/craft/cultural sense, is now considered to be on the same mediocre, low-life level: an African wood-carving is now equal with the Mona Lisa, and a native folk-song is now equal with The Planets Suite, by Gustav Holst. The postmodern/Darwinian/atheist has simply taken a world filled with color and made it black and white: one size fits all, and the only flavor is vanilla!}

Instead of progressing in the arts, the US of A has gone all the way back to the “multicultural” jungle. What took hundreds of years, in Western European culture, to raise man up from his baser instincts has now been almost completely destroyed in less than one century!

The Playa yells, “Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.” What a joke! The playa helped invent the game, but he doesn’t want us to know that. The playa knows who he is! The term playa does not refer to all African Americans (although many African Americans defend the playa, instead of standing up to him), no more than the drugged out rocker and Hollywood star represent all Caucasians, Latinos, and Asians.

I will never TOLERATE the playa, or anything like him, and I DO INTENSELY HATE THE GAME the playa helped to create. The game the playa, despite his protestations otherwise, loves and benefits from greatly!

5) “NEVER TOLERATE THE INTOLERABLE!”

Many Caucasian Americans, out of some kind of white-guilt syndrome, have learned to not only TOLERATE but embrace what should be considered, by most civilized peoples (black, white, blue, indigo or violet), completely INTOLERABLE music, theater (movies) and dance. A white-guilt manifested in “multiculturalism (‘valuing diversity’),” “political-correctness,” and “tolerance,” which most Americans, over the past twenty years, have been indoctrinated in while attending public schools. And this white-guilt has set American art/culture, as weak as it may have always been, back hundreds of years.

Music, dance, and movies (theater), that would have been considered obnoxious and perverse trash forty years ago, now get heralded as art; and to the extent that the “Grammy Awards” and “Oscars,” instead of being earmarked solely for the true artist, are now handed out to drug-addicted/drunken, racist/sexist, and perverse, panderers of mediocrity in all things. These developmentally-arrested and stoned-out-of-their-mind hoodlums (black and white), masquerading as musicians, dancers and actors, have done nothing (beyond accruing a “rap-sheet” a mile long) to receive anything but another jail sentence. And yet, instead of another night in handcuffs, they are given awards that once, many years ago, were reserved only for those who had truly earned them: the gifted individual (black, white, Hispanic, or Asian) who was willing to work at, and sacrifice for, his or her art.

Thirty-plus-years ago, I had been on enough album sides to be an active member (voting member) of N.A.R.A.S. (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences). And for two years, 1978-79, I voted on the Grammy Awards. In each of those years, I voted for Earth, Wind and Fire in their category, because I loved their music. EWF were guys, like me, who had gone to college in music and had come together to write and perform the music they loved: GOOD MUSIC, GOOD COMMERCIAL ART! And, in both of those years, EWF never won. Then, almost a decade later, I saw “rapper” after “rapper” going up to get their Grammy Awards. I was literally nauseated by the spectacle of these low-life x-cons, who “rap” to sexist and racist bad-poetry, set to ripped-off music, getting Grammy Awards. And yet EWF hadn’t even gotten the second look a decade earlier.

It’s time to call out the mediocre, American “artist” (slob) for what he or she is! It’s time for someone to tell the truth: the “player” (“Playa”) king ain’t got no clothes on! He’s naked as a jaybird, perverse, mediocre, and corrupt as hell; as are his (or her) low-life, Caucasian counterparts (subjects of the “playa kingdom,”) on the “rock and roll” and Hollywood side of the plug-nickel (as in, “It ain’t worth a plug-nickel”).

But these folks are merely the pawns of the Caucasian corporate-criminals who own and operate them. You see, the real “playa” king is some white “dude,” in a $5000.00 suit, riding around in a Rolls, who hates anyone below his “station in life.”

The postmodern/Darwinian/feminist/sodomite/atheist tail that wags the American dog has, through the indoctrination of “multiculturalism” in our public education-system, and the intimidation of “political-correctness,” “tolerance,” and even despotic legislation like “hate-speech” laws, coerced the largest portion of Americans into remaining silent, when it comes to what were once considered (and still are by most) to be intolerable actions and lifestyles. The few, through political treachery, have forced their perverse, postmodern/feminist/sodomite/atheistic views on the rest of this society. And this society has responded by sitting idly by while all of this has taken place, over the last half-century.

I will not TOLERATE the INTOLERABLE! I could care less what the politically-correct/tolerant, feces-encrusted tail thinks of me! And now it knows what I think of it!

I will finish slogans 6 through 11 in Follow-Up #2.
