My Faith

I have written previously about my first experience at internalizing the notion that, a Being I might never see in the flesh named Jesus Christ of Nazareth, would save my soul and bring me eternal peace. What I did not know then and there as a boy in that church is that the river I stood beside with my Savior would become a raging torrent strife with terrible danger and intrigue at every turn. There were times in my life when I imagined, then believed, that I was alone in the raging madness swirling all about me. In those days I was wrong to think my Savior had left me, and by the ability to write these words now, I am blessed. Grace has been with me especially in those times when I thought no grace existed at all. Whatever the terror, or whatever the heartache, or whatever the disappointment, it always comes back to me and that Man beside the river bank. When I close my eyes and imagine walking with Him, I do not envision the blood from His wounds flowing into the water. I do not see His face writhing in pain. I imagine Him as a Living Being born of Light. It is very concerning to me that so many Christians rely so heavily on Jesus' blood and suffering to save them. Jesus Christ suffered and died for me, so everything is ok, that is basically the attitude. I tell you this, Jesus Christ suffered and died for those who would believe that He suffered and died, I believe that with all my heart. That being said, I hope beyond hope that when I find myself in His Presence that I will have more than His suffering and death as justifications for being there. Jesus told us that the only Way to be where He is, is through true knowledge. True knowledge will be very hard to obtain for those who depend solely and firmly on Christ's death to save them. True knowledge can only be found in Christ's life, which is the same as His Word. There is where the true knowledge rests and there is where people should being going for salvation. His Word is what He left us with and He had to put on flesh to leave It. In that flesh He lived as He would live in the Heavens, and it is that Life that we should worship and emulate at every turn.

What Would Our Heroes Think?

As a child I idolized individuals like Audey Murphy and Alvin C. York. These ordinary men who became bigger than life when put in positions of great harrowing danger. Their hearts and what they stood for, really meant something to me as a child and helped very much in the establishing of my American self. Over the years my youthful vigor for the American way of life has been crushed by what I have seen my nation become, and finding out really, that it has always been this way. Rich men doing the bidding of rich men while those without continue going without. I love Audey Murphy because he helped fight against a war mongering society bent on having its greedy hands into everyone's business. What exactly does the United States do every single day in this modern era of ours? We war monger, and have our hands in everybody's business, that's what we do. We have become the very monster that my heros of youth fought against, and that makes their incredible deeds utterly heart breaking. Alvin C. York bent his and twisted his soul 180 degrees to put a bullet through the skull of a great many human beings, for what? I guess my heros did what they did because what they were doing was what they believed to be the right thing to do. The reason they did it, I did it, and we have all been played as fools. Rich folks provide the ammo, and poor folks do the bleeding. What I didn't know when men like Audey Murphy and Alvin C. York were shaping me, was that a profession of killing makes the devil out of you any way you slice it. I think our heros would think that we need to do a lot more thinking.

Your Tea Party Sucks

I guarantee that if a poll were taken as to how many tea party members believed Jesus Christ to be their God and Savior, that nearly 100% of them would state their faith in Him. That being said, it is nearly impossible for one with a slightly rational mind to understand how these concepts can mesh together in any way. Jesus Christ left this earth with a simple message; love each other as I have loved you, love your neighbor as you love yourself, mostly the Messenger from God simply said love. What about tea party logic or belief has love in it? Which one of their principles is it that reminds one of something the Savior said? Tea party logic would have us cut or privatize most every program that exists in this country to help the fragile and helpless. It is a logic that is so far away from what Christ said would bring us truth, and these people scream it from the tops of their lungs. What a terrible illusion to be under to think that fighting for tax cuts will in some way pay Heavenly dividends. We should be fighting for each other, not each other's bank accounts, and it really does seem that tea party members hold such accounts very close to the heart. Money is not going to save the United States, it is going to bury her. The love of money is the root of great evil, and so what does that make the greatest capitalist society on earth? The America that tea party people will fight for, is an America lost to God. Our wealth stands as a mark against us, and it is all you will ever hear from a tea party mouth. The America worth fighting for is the America that will take care of herself. The America worth fighting for stands for her weak and her helpless. Tea party goers would have us leave our under privileged at the mercy of corporate interests, and that is their responsible government. The Federal Government of the United States of America is solely, for the people, by the people; not for the people with money, and then kind of the rest. It really is odd, the Tea Party in Boston Harbor was about taxation without representation, and now tea party governors throughtout the land bring that very principle to life through their actions. What is up, is down, and what is right, is wrong, and tea parties suck when there're all about nothing.

Go Away

Donald Trump, shut the fuck up and go away. Assholes like you are the problem and now you are wetting your fat head willy on the notion of running for president. Take you and your stupid hair and your greedy life, and go away. People like you only appear to be powerful, for there is no righteousness in you, there is only wealth all about you, Heaven will not hold you. You do not have the character to lead this country in a direction it needs to go. You suck, your empire sucks, your dead varmit hair-do sucks, so just go away.

Thank you Mr. President

For the first time in a very long time I might be coming back to a position of actually respecting the President of the United States. Yesterday, April, 13, 2011, President Barrack Obama finally said words that had truth in them. This country is in debt because we have been engaged in a decade long two war debacle while giving the assholes with the most money, more fucking money while completely hanging out to dry the less priveledged and less fortunate. It should have never been, it should have been stopped long before now, and finally the President says it loud and clear. What has been happening in America is so far less than Godly and so very unrighteous, something must change, or wrath shall find us beyond our wildest dreams. We're supposed to take care of each other period. The Federal Government exists upon the face of the earth for one sole reason, to take care of its people. Yes, rich Americans are Americans and deserve fair treatment from the government that serves them, but it's about time that they start displaying righteousness and helping their fellow human beings. Thank you Mr. President for sending a shot across the bow of those who are in the business of preserving personal wealth. It is good for them, for I doubt a single one of them can squeeze his or her ass through the eye of a needle
