I have often said that a complaint against Christianity I have is people like Neil of KFI who are constantly telling their listeners "Your God is too BIG". It's the "Who do you think God is anyhow - - Superman? approach to religion. They want a God they can control. One they can put on a leash and walk around and show off every Sunday. Fred Price himself has even used the term "Control" in reference to a name for God, which is vaguely blasphamus in my book. I may not believe in Him but at least I have reverence for Him. Preachers are loathe to do what they claim to want their perisheners to do and that is that the Idea of there being a Force that's bigger than themselves. And the idea that they don't have full and complete knowledge of God equivelent to a colonosopy, they find positively heritical. So the idea that we should love broader concepts such as Society, Country, Mankind or that dreaded term on the Rush Limbaugh show, Planet Earth, horrified them. And they would never use a word like Cosmos, which to my way of thinking is "the larger community of the entire Universe". Such terms put the clerical community very much ill at ease. There was a Black caller on the Randy Rhodes program this morning, who said so many right on things it was downright amazing. The topic of dominionism came up. This is the idea that the perfect Government will be instituted by Man, with no need of divine intervention. While not outright endorsing dominiomism, Neil Savedra said in reference to such cosmic events as Jesus coming back that, "Since it's the talk of Last Things, it should be studied Last (or preferably not at all). This is in keeping with Neil's other teaching that Jesus' words about "blessed are the peacemakers' and "turn the other cheek" are not for our time because this is the age of War, and we will always have War. So he hath said. To paraphraise the dope addicts' version of a Jesus story, "I will follow you wherever you go but first let me go back home and pick up my supply of Heroin". The rich person like Sheldon Addelson would say "I am willing to become a Christian- - - but don't make me give up the idea of Perpetual War. That's how I make my money. From these examples it's clear that many Born Again Christians are freaking hypocrites. I thought that Mike Meloy was in error the other night when he proclaimed that this whole right wing push was Fundamentalist Christian generated and they want to institute their own version of Talliban rule and Sheria law. My response would be to him, "That's not their thing. They are far less concerned about the RED blood of the cross but rather the Green of filthy lucre". You know that. But the black lady went on to discuss the whole idea of a larger Vision for this country like early generations used to have. Even in the late middle ages - - Archetects were preparing to build grand new buildings and grand new boulivards - - many of which survive in Europe today. Builders of the great Cathedrals of Europe clearly were not thinking of the next quarter's profit and loss statement as corporations are now obsessed with today. They can't see beyond the end of their nose or beyond the next accounting period. All they care is being able to present a good report at the next corporation board meeting so they will be retained as CEO another year. They claim to want "Religion" in everything. These people are "very religious" as the people in Athens were, whom St. Paul visited. But they knew nothing about "The truth of the gospel". For instance these politicians would never go for "Souls to polls Sunday" like they have in numerous Black churches. Now they are making it illegal for Blacks or anybody to vote in such a manner, at least in Ohio. They will put their foot in their mouth and flip flop all over the map, telling lies that "those in the know" (those who get the secret "Dog whistle code) know to be a lie, and they just grin- - but Romney and Ryan will try to get away with telling these falsehoods about what they really believe to the American people on topics such as Medicare and women who are raped. Woman are raped twice you know. First by the perpetrater himself, and then, the much longer Rape process, by the government itself. People like Paul Ryan would like to prolong this second Rape process in his limitations on Planned Parenthood funding by the Obama administration. Black people are a lot smarter than White people give them credit for. We may never know the truth about the OJ murder case. I think the best theory is that OJ was trying to protect his son. But Blacks sensed intuitively that the crime psychologically "didn't hang together". The Claims that Christ Darden perported to prove- - - were never established. No psychologist - expert or otherwise - - was ever called to testify in the OJ case. They believe, not without evidence, that OJ simply didn't "act like a man who was guilty" in the hours either before or after the murders. This is why Mitt Romney has a zero percentage approval rating among Blacks. Seeing how it's a three percent margin of error, his rating among Blacks could actually be a negative three. You'd have to invent some new kind of number to cover that case.
Mal Evans has a saying that "70 AD was judgement day for the Jewish People". None of us, or no sociatal entities among us- - ever knows when our own 'Judgement Day" will come for us. But we know that not only to the victors go the spoils but "To the Victors goes the power to write the History. Just as the Jews didn't like their right up by people who had vanquished them, so the Tea Party won't like the write up by the people who succeed them in history, after they themselves go down in flames, which they most certainly will, and hopefully, soon. The Obama administration need not have any apprehensions about a Civil War, because people will be climbing over each other to get out of the Tea Party stadiums where they had congragated in hopes of a victory rally. Their own sense of self disgust and shame will drive them away quickly. They like St. Peter in the Bible will say "I never knew you". Of course as you know I talk about things like other dimensions that may well Exist but we have no way given the perameters of Science- - to prove it in our current state. But be not lulled- - this is not a statement of Faith. That's THEIR department. It isn't Faith- - but keeping an Open Mind - - and also a sense of objectivity in dealing with the Unexpected when and if it should come along. Everyone has their own Judgement Day, when merely saying "I'm sorry" will no longer cut it. Gabriel has hers this week on "Days of our Lives". People who jerry-rig accounting figures to generate a rosey picture will only have to face the music in following quarters. They aren't fooling anybody including themselves. The Tea Party is like the "Bonnie Lockhart" of Days of our Lives. She wants to tie the knot with her man before he gets wise to what she's all about, only to find that by then it is Too Late. But if we elect Mitt Romney we just may have pissed away our last chance at reestablishing Freedom and Civil Liberties once more in America. That Marine who was locked up wasn't all that far from the Truth you know. America is in peril. And President Obama is more Bush like than even his clossest friends will admit. Because there are certain things his friends can't explain about Him, such as why he has furtelizer spikes stuck into him every week or so from meiacle grow. Just consider this posting a wake up call. I'm not sure how many more of they we'll be able to give you before The Powers that Bee ring the buzzer and announce "Your Time is up".
