The World is a Democracy

CAPITALISM is better than SOCIALISM… until it becomes PLUTOCRACY. At that point, they are the same thing: The many are ruled by a few. What does it matter if the rulers are politicians or merchants? If they control what we need, they control our lives.

Socialists may be elected. Capitalists are empowered by purchases. The one is chosen by votes and the other enriched by what we are willing to pay for. The problem is not a problem until the choices that are our own become theirs. At that point they choose for us… but in their own interests. We become their slaves, for we have lost our say in any matter.

FASCISM is better than COMMUNISM… though both are socialist. Both are murderous. The fascists discriminate in their killing. The communists ultimately do not. Fascism may enrich its people, even if at the expense of other people. Communism impoverishes everyone.

The proponents of every ideology are self-righteous. Though capitalists are greedy, they tout their system as prosperous. Though fascists are oppressive, they fancy their system as law and order. Though communists are murderous, they celebrate their indiscriminate killing as “fairness,” which it is.

The rulers of the world are evil, whether capitalists or socialists. They are the selfish, disloyal and disobedient who demand our selfless loyalty and obedience. They all come to power by the will of the people, mind you. The capitalists are empowered by the lusts of the common folk. The fascists are empowered by the fear of the common folk. The Communists are empowered by the laziness of the common folk. The power is always from THE PEOPLE, the ruled and rulers alike.

Perhaps you are not to blame. You still live in a world full of those who are to blame. Alas, the very world is democratic indeed, for the fate of every generation is decided by its majority.

Violence Galore

Only the depraved fancy murder and war as good things. They do so with the idea that other people suffer the consequences. Murder may be gratifying if you are the murderer. War may be advantageous if it gains you wealth and power. To the victims and their loved ones, however, murder and war are horrors.

Much of our fiction is about murder and war, and not because we are fond of such things. On the contrary: they are interesting because they are horrible. The villains are the murderers and the warmongers, not our heroes. If we loved murder and war, our fiction would have the heroes as the murderers and warmongers. When they are, we call them “antiheroes” to separate them from our ideals.

Why are murder and war common if most people dislike them? Well, most people do not really care unless they or their loved ones are the victims. They are indifferent… until it is too late.

You, as an individual, cannot change the world. It fancies murder and war, whether you do or not. It shall perpetuate murder and war, no matter how hard you try to stop it. You are only to blame if you commit or allow such things within your power.

All things are clean of themselves, and murder and war are not exceptions. To deliberately kill people can be a good thing, no matter how many people you kill or whether they are men or women or children or young or old. To fight and kill may be the right thing to do, even when to the destruction of an entire tribe, nation, race or culture.

Why does God allow murder and war? Why not? Sometimes he commits murder. Sometimes he wages war. You think to judge him? I laugh at you. Even as a mortal man, I can see your hypocrisy.

Murder and war are not forever. They serve a purpose and shall continue till they have served that purpose. What is that purpose? Well, they test you. They also inspire you. What would our games and movies be without them?

Erotic Spectrum

Human sexuality is men breeding with women. It is also men with men or men with children or women with women or women with children or men or women with animals or corpses. It is masturbation. It is consensual… or rape. Underwear or shoes or dolls or anything else may be the object of interest. The pleasure may be from pain, yours or someone else’s. Words that are spoken or written that are eloquent or vulgar may arouse. Singing and dancing are traditionally sexy, in every culture.

Nudity or clothes are alluring. The clothes may be sexy whether tight or skimpy or a uniform or a costume or whatever else you fancy.

Human sexuality is evil more often than not. It is not the particulars that are wicked, but rather the indifference of the interested. People exploit and even destroy others for instant gratification. They harm themselves for a cheap thrill.

Human sexuality is good when the love of a married couple. It is good when sublimated into artistic endeavors and is appreciated. It is good as a motivation for hygiene and fitness.

The spiritual aspects of sexuality precede its physical manifestations. It is intercourse in both respects. The masculine and feminine are materialized as male and female. Homosexuality does not alter this innate dynamic in the slightest, but rather fails to bring it to fruition.

Sexuality and violence are indeed intrinsically linked. They are passionate intercourse whether they produce life or destroy it. It is masculine to kill and feminine to die, and this is why men are sent to their deaths while women are kept out of the danger.

What distinguishes the wholesome from the perverse? Both sexuality and violence can be either. It is restraint as a selfless act of loving patience that tempers sexuality or violence, purifying them when they are ultimately enacted.

As One Worthwhile or of the Many Worthless

The very many are ruled by the very few. It has always been this way. Every effort to change it has failed… because such has always been a ploy by the few to replace others among the few, using the many as its soldiers for doing so. The dupes are surprised when they eventually realize they are still the peons they always were. They are pawns to be sacrificed in someone else’s game. Even if they become “queens” in the game, it as pieces, not players.

We unimportant people are the easy victims of villains and heroes. Whether armed or unarmed, ready or not, the common folk prove helpless. We only ever stand a chance against each other.

If you died, would it make a real difference? Would the world change even in the slightest? Of course your loved ones would mourn you… but if they are unimportant, what does it matter?

God describes the mortal and only human as “lambs gathered for the slaughter.” He enjoyed, as instant gratification, watching Samson slaughter Philistines in droves. Oh, have no doubt about it! He mourned the death of Samson, one man, but not the thousands of men and women this one man murdered.

The slain Philistines had friends and family. They were mourned by those who loved them. So what? Who were these loved ones that it mattered?

Jesus of Nazareth seemed normal… at first. He seemed ordinary… even when he proved otherwise. The few who ruled the many hated this one man… because he was not one they controlled. He inspired the many more than the few ever did, or ever could. The few turned the many against him, to murder this one man who was expected to be lost in the crowd. The death of Jesus changed everything. He conquered death, turning the thing that was to destroy him into his to do with as he pleased.

You cannot conquer death. You may pretend, claiming your works or your children or the memories of others as your immortality. You shall not be around to enjoy of it. Even if you see it from heaven, it is not among the living. The dead are dead, indeed, whether in heaven or hell or elsewhere.

Death is shameful, even when glorious or honorable. A disembodied spirit is naked and a lifeless body is meat and bones.

The death of Jesus was shameful. Not only was it the murder of an innocent man, but the man was divided into being a spook and a piece of meat. It was the resurrection of Jesus that was glorious. By returning to life, he opened the door for us. He became the Savior.

An American About Russia

To me, an American, Russia is the country nothing like my own yet everything like my own. Unlike most countries, we were multiracial from the beginning. We are like continents unto ourselves. Not so long ago, we ruled the world between us. Alas, we always seem to be going in the opposite directions, and always at the same time. For example: when Russia was to the Left and atheist, America was to the Right and Christian. Now Russia is to the Right and Christian and America is to the Left and atheist.

We Americans do see ourselves as superior, even before we won the Cold War. Not only are we inarguably richer and more advanced, but we fancy we are morally superior… though we have our doubts recently.

Americans are fascinated by Russia, even as enemies. Not only did Russia survive a genocidal invasion, suffering countless deaths, but it came out of the war more powerful than ever before. Though Russia lost the Cold War against us, it seems to be making a comeback.

To me, personally, regardless of my nationalist bias, I see Russia as a real place of real people trying to live their real lives. They are human, first and foremost. Russia is my brothers and sisters, in every way before and beyond culture and politics.

I am saddened by the plight of the Russian people. They drink or commit suicide because every day is a struggle. We Americans would do the same in their situation. We do when we are in their situation.

The Americans won the Cold War… but are losing the peace. We forsook Russia in her hour of need. As an American, I told my countrymen at the time that we must rebuild Russia, like we did Germany and Japan. Wonderful things would come out of a prosperous Russia, as they do from Germany and Japan. I warned that to forsake Russia, while she was crying out to us for help, would make Russia a worse enemy than ever before. The USSR was a rival, but the Russians of the USSR did not hate us. The Russians we left to rot would.

I do want Russia to thrive and prosper, and not merely to be friendly with my country. I want the people of Russia, the human beings who live there to be happy. I want them to imagine and create wonderful things. The whole world shall be blessed by a happy Russia. It shall be cursed by an angry Russia, and not because of weapons. They are our people, and if our people are miserable, we are miserable… and that is a bad thing.

God Bless Russia!

It is Finished

What is dear to God? What does he admire? He can be judged on the answers, but not by you.

How can we know what is dear to God? How can we know what he admires? He can be judged by the fruit he bears.

Jesus is the Word of God. What did he live for? What did he die for? To know the answers is to know what is dear to God and what he admires.

Did Jesus ask to be baptized to be filled with knowledge and power? Did he do it to be wise or righteous? He was filled with the Spirit and the Spirit led him into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. Jesus resisted temptation. He then began his ministry. He was sinless, yet he washed the feet of sinners. He was blameless yet he was tried, convicted and executed. His last words were, “It is finished.”

Jesus was quickened by the Spirit. Take heed: It was not the Father who brought the Son back to life. It was the Spirit… that led him into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.

Why? Why did the Spirit lead Jesus into temptation?

Jesus asked to be baptized to be filled with the Spirit, to give the Spirit life that it would live among men as a man. Alas, the life would not be accepted lest it proved itself. The blood is the life of the body. The life of the Spirit was that of Jesus himself. How Jesus lived would decide everything. He lived to the satisfaction of the Spirit. He then laid down his life, for the sake of those whom the Spirit had condemned. The sincerity of Jesus to do such a thing, to forsake himself for those who needed him, moved the Spirit to save him.

It was not the death of Jesus that saved you. It was his resurrection. His death paid for your sins but death is doom, not salvation. Jesus did not merely come back to life. He conquered death! You cannot be doomed lest he say so.

The spirit of God is the spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit. It is what the Word of God lived for to his very last breath. It became the first breath of Man. Your soul was born of it. To know what is dear to God and what he admires is to understand your own humanity.

Most People

Most people are evil. They may smile. They may be sociable. They may do good deeds. They may do all these things while exploiting or slandering the very people they smile at, socialize with and do good deeds for. They can be as cruel to those they love as those they hate.

The world has been down to its last good person before. Even then, most people were seemingly friendly. They were unfriendly, however. They were spiteful merely to spite, and even at their own expense. They were lazy but never slothful when there was an opportunity to do evil. They blamed their victims for the evil, though boasting of its wickedness.

The very idea of “social justice” is offensive to the very spirit of justice. The idea is to supplant what is personal and individual with an impersonal and collective counterfeit. This is done to have a say in what is just and to hold others to it. This false justice is designed from inception to be used against freedom, to replace it with a counterfeit freedom.

The Holy Spirit is the spirit of FREEDOM and JUSTICE. It is the spirit of TRUTH. Any attempt to replace it with the doctrines of men is to exchange truth for lies.

Take heed: Freedom and Justice are personal and individual. You shall be judged accordingly. No tyranny shall damn you and liberty cannot save you. What you are is of no concern on Judgment Day. Who you are shall decide your fate.

Evil is a lack of good. Good is not a lack of evil. You are evil from the beginning because you are expected to make something of yourself. The goodness must be of your own doing. It is not yours otherwise. Someone else is good if your goodness is not from within. You must take personal initiative. You shall be found wanting otherwise… and condemned for it.

Oh, people are both good and evil? No. There are good people who lack and evil people who pretend. The good people who lack are still good, but need saving, for the wages of their sins is still death. Those who pretend, even if they deceive themselves, shall have nothing real to show for themselves. They are doomed… and good riddance.

Why are the wicked damned? It is not the will of God that you be damned. He would rather make you good. He chose the Holy Spirit to be his spirit, however. He chose FREEDOM and JUSTICE. By freedom you must choose. By justice you shall reap what you sow.

Understand that the damned are those who condemn others to needless misery. They turned this world into a hell and keep it that way. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Do not confuse tact with sincerity or fear with kindness or weakness with mercy. There shall be no such confusion on Judgment Day.
