On Religion and the Bible

I am oft reminded of a line in a movie titled "A Knight's Tale".  When the Prince knighted Sir William he stated.  And MY word is beyond contestation.

Now to the KING JAMES version of the Bible.  Even in the day the king's word was not something anyone dared to contest.   Meaning that no one dared to opposed, question or contest the word of the king.  KING JAMES.   This was also valid during the reign of the Roman Emperor  Constantine when he declared that Christianity would become the new religion of state (state sponsored religion)...to go against the emperor meant beheading.  It was also during this time that MAGICALLY December 25th became Jesus birthday which is an outright lie.  IT was actually a pagan holiday celebrating the winter solstice and the worship of the sun god.  Now we honor the God above all others by creating a lie and pandering to the vanity factors and ignoring that one of His primary commandments was DON'T LIE?

Further it is absolutely idiotic for fallible (sin filled error filled vanity driven humans) to  once again magically declare that their editing of a hand full of letters becomes the infallible and unerring word of God.  This, especially when not all letters or writings had even been unearthed or found at that time.  This when the KING was embracing it and this when those who hid away to do this magical editing had little or no real understanding of the universe or its workings much less the verbal skills to adequately define that which they read or saw.   To simply declare something as infallible especially when those who do so are themselves fallible is an act of utter insanity and doesn't make it so.  Neither does choosing to ignore the pine trees in the forest  make them go away.

Hence the Bible while perhaps a valid compilation of letters written decades and sometimes centuries after the fact, handed down by word of mouth and deliberately edited to align with the "tradition" of the day and to appease the KING is a work of art and has valuable guidance, it CAN NOT be the end all be all do all of spiritual guidance.  Many scholars if they are to be honest will tell you that there is still debate going on as to who actually wrote some of  those letters and missives.

And finally when one considers the deliberate mis-interpretation and manipulation of languages it becomes readily apparent that it is more a book designed for those who wish to "lean on their own understanding"...Hence we have had centuries where one Religious Leader after another has dared to stand in front of his/her flock and tell the poor ignorant flock exactly what certain generic passages mean.  The emperical intonation is that no one but them and their kind can understand, translate or become enlightened.  After all, they are the experts, just ask them. 

That isn't enough?  Watch them wave their certifications in the air?  Certified by whom?  Oh, other like minded individuals.  Hummmm.   No where did I see, read or hear where in order to be deemed a person of God one must first go through seminary, college or any other such man made nonsense.  That is as insane as picturing Noah telling God, that he must wait until he attends and finishes ship building school.

Religion and it's writings are more political in nature than anything else hence the first declaration of Christianity as the "religion of state" government ordered....under Constantine at around 300 a.d.   Hence the Roman Catholic Church setting itself up as the go-between for humanity and God, and the list can go on and on adinfinitim....The problem is that even in the literature as it is written it specifically indicates that each individual can open themselves up to this power and no one has to be the go-between and no on has to lecture.  

The dead give away about religion is that the studies are always of an external nature studying what others have done as if knowing about all this somehow makes a difference.  And the lecturers will always act as the teacher or the "professor " (sayer) providing the hand out (basket is passed to further their cause)

Religion and other charities give themselves away when they claim tax exempt status, and declare themselves non-profit yet MOST if not all the donations are consumed in "administrative overhead" which not so co-incidentally include mega salaries for a handful of people - those very people who extoll the masses to donate donate donate.  Then further examination reveals that very little if anything is actually given back to the needy, no cures are ever found and the charade continues.  But all are pressured to participate lest they be deemed uncharitable or fry in hell or not very well liked.

Spiritual connectedness to God only requires a few simple things.  That is the realization that one is flawed and often wrong, that we all tend to let our egos' (VAIN happens to be the root of the word vanity which happens to be another word for ego which also means self ) drive our behavior.   So self centeredness then means the same as "the sin nature" of mankind.  Thus we must be willing to die to self, and get our ego's out of the way to make room for that Grace of God to enter us.  It requires asking for help and guidance and the willingness to do that on a day to day basis.  

Modern religion has missed that completely and substituted feel good junkism and emotionalism for spirituality and has been leading the flock completely astray for centuries.  And each religion while perhaps building its dogma and doctrine around a piece of the truth has failed miserably.  It was Jesus who stated that it was the doctrine of man that does more to turn people away from the true nature of God than anything else.  He also stated that there would be many who would come in his name and bear false witness.  Who does that?

Pray, meditate, and ask for strength and guidance.   

Reading, studying, memorizing and showing up to demonstrate to the flock how astute one is,  is more like a modern version of what the pharisees of His day were doing.

The Invasion has already Happened

"Invasion of America a silly idea?

How many of the half-million illegal immigrants that are daily hemoraging into our country do you think are Middle Eastern terrorists?" This isn't just about rolling though someones neighborhood armed and ready to kill.  The invasion has been passive aggressive in nature, basically unarmed while they hide amongst us until such time as the need for the social facade fades. 

 

It isn't just Islamists who are hiding in mosques and biding their time passively (because they won't stand openly against terrorist activities in the name of Allah) supporting and waiting for the day when the literal weight of numbers (converted) outweigh any chance at opposition.  It is also the MILLIONS of Mexicans streaming across the border taking up residence and waiting while the radicals amoung them screaming they want to reoccupy the USA begin to win their cause. All this will occur because of forty years of deliberatly dumbed down generations of Americans who have been conditioned to be primarily spineless and thoughtless in their search of creature comfort while leaving the TOUGH STUFF to others.

 

While the libs manipulate any and all measures for the power they seek, and these invading forces are continually allowed to grow.  Pay any attention to the news coming out of the UK the past couple days?  No 2 name for boys is Mohamad......and the Islamists are boasting that this is how they will take over nations....

 

We are being attacked on two fronts from two enemies and those who are elected to defend from enemies within and without are  NOT doing their job?  Why?  Because many of the facists lied their way into public office, onto the judicial benches and the enforcement agencies of our nation.   When the enforcing agencies themselves have been overrun, where is the check and balance?  WE THE PEOPLE.

Ah Global Warming

Climate change only became that when the "environmentalists’"(read "fascists’" "communists") got caught in their lies and misrepresentations about global warming.

 
Then OVERNIGHT it became climate change. 

 

The truth is easily found by examining the before, during and after and then watching how these people handle any hint at debate or controversy.

 

Their tactics as well as solutions are PURE Marxist and follow in lock step with the Communist Manifesto. 

 

What actually changes is that about every decade or decade and a half these individuals make subtle shifts in their language and the terminologies they use to shield and hide their underlying agendas which always come out ONLY AFTER the "sales pitch" or chicken little ranting which is nothing more than marketing 101.

 

Examine the Fear mongering, (create a sense of urgency) then the solution,  requires shifting from autonomous nations to UN (elitists/socialist) oversight.  Forget, that necessity for oversight is created by DECADES of blockading any attempt to

A.  Building New more efficient refineries. 

B.  Stopping any and all drilling in our country. 

C. Blockading Nuclear Energy 

D.  Stopping clean coal burning energy plants

 

And, only then screaming for resolution.  What are the solutions these people offer up? 

 

  1. A.  Do without. Make travel impractical (control the movement of the masses)
  2. B.  TAX and transfer of wealth (the latest ploy is Carbon offsets)  Monitored and maintained the EVER EFFICIENT and NON-corrupt UN (forget about  the UN oil for food scandal)
  3. C.  Practice ad hominen attacks on anyone who dares to object
  4. D.  Limit and control any and all debate and discourse to the contrary of their position
  5. E.  Label and condemn anyone who dares to object.
  6. F.  Ignore/Hide that with the MEGA-funding that would come from a WORLD body by tapping the resources via taxes...of the wealthy nations
  7. G.  Subsequently ignore that those who advocate and align themselves with this nonsense are also  the very individuals who profit the most by transfer of power, control and money either under the guise  of necessary leadership and/or research.

 

The model offered up to resolve such dilemmas (created by those who stand to profit the most)  mirror the so-called charity models and non-profit models used by most religious/political organizations  and charities.  All it takes is examination of where the monies collected actually go despite the socially acceptable jargon to the contrary.  Under the guise of leading, administering  researching or helping  the needy masses,  MEGA salaries are funded for select individuals.  Massisve expenditures authorized to purshase property and playgrounds (laboratories, churches, offices and the like.  A  Study the “rate of return” for such institutions as these reveals that  hundreds of trillions upon trillions of dollars in wealth has been transferred into such organizations as “the American Cancer Society”  The American Heart Association any given religious or political organization while very little other than rhetoric and fear mongering has actually accomplished. 


The end result of this massive fraud is: 

 

A.     Vast acquisition of wealth in the name of the organization

B.     Expensive and exorbitant salaries paid to the select executive of these organization

C.     Salaries and toys for researchers who never in fifty to sixty  or 100 years find cures for anything whether it be disease, social conditions, border control, poverty, the war on drugs and on and on ad infinitim.

 

If anyone ran their personal life, home or family in such a manner they would be bankrupt in a matter of a few short years.  By Examining the “rate of return on investment” one can see just how ineffective these so-called EXPERTS actually are.

 

This scam of manipulating the masses has been going of for well over sixty years possibly even to the middle ages and feudalism. 

 

If anyone remembers or was required to participate in Communism 101 studies they could see that this is part and parcel the tactics advocated to bring about the transfer of wealth, power and control of nation after nation..coupled to the divide and conquer mentality carefully shrouded in the cultural diversity which keeps the divisions alive world wide. 

 

The personal attacks on those who oppose the ideology whether it be Global Warming (climate change or socialism or the welfare state or liberal politics) continue and only seem to change and go away until an entire set of social jargon is created to mask the underlying forces generation after generation.   

 

Lenin, the father of modern communism is the one who advocated screaming a lie so long that it became the truth.  Calling your enemies what you are.  All this is designed to wait for the collapse of that which one hopes to conquer and waiting patiently to step in and offer the solution to the panicked and confused masses.  This philosophy and those who  peddle it were also taught to wait patiently as often it takes thirty or more years to bring about the necessary CHANGE...

 

What has been  the latest buzz words of the left in this presidential race? CHANGE!

 

Has any body bothered to ask what those are supposed to be and exactly what it is that needs to be changed, and what exactly will replace it?    No! Those individuals carefully avoid being confronted by any of those questions.  The result? More shrouding and the human trait they rely on is envy, greed, fear, and lust (obsession about self).

 

All these institutions who rely on the hand outs of others are corrupt beyond the casual individuals ability to comprehend.  The UN being the leader of the pack.

 

Those who decide who gets Nobel peace prizes need to be locked in a rubber room in the nearest mental ward.. Lets see Yassar Arafat?  The head of the PLO a terrorist organization?  Yeah right  Jimmy Carter...who engineered most of the mess that is now happening in the middle east  Al Gore who proposes a nonsense philosophy that advocates turning over the control of our nation to idiots?

 

Yep the world population would certainly benefit by letting these fools and charlatans continue to lead us.  Straight to Hades in a Hand Basket!

 

Where are these people hiding?

 

1.  They have over the past forty or so years managed to infiltrate the political arena by hiding their agendas behind the so-called social concern generations were peer pressured into accepting.

 

 2.They infiltrated the court system where if one can not legislate their agendas they can always activate it via court order and ruling (unelected officials changing law)

 

3.They hide in the institutes of learning to inculcate successive generations of individuals to accept the socialist agenda pounding home year after unfettered year their (now not so subtle philosophies)

 

Now, the stage is ripe for the so-called CHANGE…as these people know that this plan of action has been in effect for well over fifty years and several generations of adults have been duly EDUCATED so is recent years it has been coming out of the wood work and making itself more brazenly known.

 

Global Warming is only the latest vehicle whereby this nonsense is being perpetrated on a world wide scale.  And lastly consider where and at what level the indoctrination begins. 

 

At the kindergarten and pre-kindergarten level.  And more and more the “fair and balanced” (drip that with sarcasm) court system that has already been infiltrated with liberal activists are MANDATING participation and blocking any and every attempt to depart from the “government owned and controlled school system”….The next phase will be government owned and controlled health care with mandated checkups, participation and vaccination.  So one doesn’t’ dare defy the “sanctioned and blessed” experts who would of necessity be required to follow LEGISLATED policy.

 

When this happens, there is not much left before we the people become  the pawns of government lest we be found guilty lose our families, incomes and right to exist.

 

It is already happening!  Yet most are so distracted by the magician slight of hand these people play that they don’t even see it.

 

The emphasis has for so long been placed upon what a person says with argument about words distracting from the actual actions or inaction of individuals relative to events and situations that no one can even address the dynamics of the totalitarian practices of  these people, lest one be labeled, ostracized and cast out.  All tactics of take over utilized by the likes of Hitler, Stalin,  The philosophies of Marx and on and on it goes.  And when the current smoke screen is no longer effective there will once again be a subtle shift in jargon, buzz words and expressed social concern with the underlying socialist/Marxist agenda carefully crafted to appear to be the solution.  Create chaos, then offer the solution and the scared, hungry and desperate masses will willingly accept the tidbit of sanctity offered by these elitists who just like the Charities will skim most off the top and dole out a tiny portion to the masses under the guise of concern.  Our government does it now.  Charities do it now.  Religions for the most part do it now…..and  the masses are always enjoined to participate for free, donate and NOT to challenge or ask questions.

 

Sound familiar?
