The difference between being a child
and having "Child like faith"
is that children GROW
and Saints don't

With Born Again Christianity
People are Expendable
Doctrine is Not

People who fake love to their God
or anybody else are one thing
People who do this
Are Called WHOR ES

If God removes your sin
"as far as the east is from the west"
will spend their lives going in circles

I would rather worship a God who rather
than prefer a Story with good movie reviews
preferred one that was True

A God who has the power to give you
anything you need or desire
Has the power to take from you
Everything you have

"Father forgive them for they
know not what they do"
is not in some Bible text manuscripts
or in the memory of a lot of
anti semetic Saints

He who ponders taking an irrational
Leep of Faith
Is more rational than one who
takes a leap without thinking

Artificial flowers cannot die
And neither can a tombstone
kill a feather


Well now we’ve heard everything. The US Government is so broke we’re thinking about selling off our national forests to pay the debt. There is one school in North Carolina surrounded by forests that the federal govt. wants to sell off to help build a computer lab on the other side of the country.

China has put the finishing touches on their gigantic dam of the Yanksee river. This river will deliver the power of twenty Hoover dams and contains enough concrete to pave a highway from Seattle all the way around the world and almost to Miami again. The water from the resevour is so polluted nobody can drink it. The flooding will displace over a million residents and yet they say it will provide only two percent of the nation’s energy needs. They say there are already cracks in the concrete in the dam.

Iraq finally has their “permanent government” installed in place. But because of this and the instability the US will be sending more troops to Iraq to insure their safety, rather than recalling any troops home. Hillary may endanger her campaign by continuing to be so pro war in Iraq. They say Bush needs one good issue to hang his hat on such as immigration, but on the Chris Matthews they say Bush will not be successful. So many of those people against the current senate bill are not even affected by immigration. Of course World Net Daily has a lot of hysterical stuff in it.

Barry Bonds has now hit his 714th. home run in Oakland. This ties Babe Ruth’s record. My position is that all Barry Bonds’ successes should count and that the question of steroids should not enter into this debate. I think steroids among kids or at the Olympics is an entirely different matter from steroids in a professional sport, where you are paid for being the best athlete you can. That’s my opinion.

There is a lot of demand for Al Gore to run for president. The internet people like him and they say that in his two thousand campaign we didn’t see the real “Al Gore” be-cause he was badly managed. Now the “climate of the nation” has changed both literally and figuratively and Gore will be seen as a man ahead of the times. Going for Howard Dean in 2004 didn’t exactly help his image I’d sure vote for Gore before I’d ever vote for Hillary. I think the anti Hillary vote is so entrenched she should give it up.

They say Pat Robertson is concerned about the upcoming Hurricane season on the east coast. June first will be here in just a couple of weeks and everyone is worried including Pat. He’s been talking to God. I hope God is reminding Pat about global warming because that will be the major culprit is there are a lot of storms. After the last two ground-breaking years, I don’t know if the nation could take another.

The Da Vinci Codes seems to be spawning really negative reviews. Some don’t think the movie was true to the book while others just think the whole premise of the movie is stupid. KNBC four, however, liked the movie.

There’s a case where a popular sperm donor at a sperm bank has some genetic defect that causes leukemia and all sorts of offspring will get it. Now the bank says the rest of his sperm has been discarded. It’s just like women to all want the same super-stud. They don’t think. Of course there are all those half brothers and sisters out there that might hook up. This of course never bother’s Dennis Prager. He lives and dies by his belief that paternity are immaterial in family relations or relations between men and women. Of course insemination with that “designer sperm” costs lots of money.


A Reformed Libertarian Party

Greetings to one and all. The latest item in the news that I find disturbing is that it will now be illegal for private citizens to encrypt their calls. In England they passed a law that hasn't been enforced yet but will be that states that if you don't turn over your encryption key to the cops upon being asked for whatever reason they choose, then you can go to jail. They are also going to do this with financial corporations such as banks and such. It's a blatent invasion of our privacy and our civil rights. We're getting just a little too Orwwellian in our government view. The government does not have the right to monitor private computer correspondance, incrypted or not. In terms of phone conversations I am told the government is already monitering all our calls via micro-wave sattalite. They scan for certain words with as Jihad and them fixate in on those calls. Demanding the turning over of encryptian keys is just such a blatent invasion of our rights to privacy that it isn't funny.

I am not happy about the "proctology exam" that tobacco companies are forced to submit to. Even the most minute office memo is up for scruteny. Everybody knows cigarettes are harmful and to sue a corporation because you're a smoker in this day and age is absurd. People should have to face the consequences of their own actions and decisions. I'd hate to think that Larry Elder is right. I don't want our society to be turned into a bunch of "Victocrats". People need to be left to their own comon sense. If I had my way tobacco would be advertized on television. After all, nobody ever smoked a cigarette and then went out and crashed their car like might happen with alcohol. Yet alcohol flows freely on soap operas and other TV programs. We are fast getting to the point where nobody who smokes will feel confortable anywhere. People say this whole "second hand smoke" thing is a myth. It's just a lie to say that it takes years off everyone's life who is exposed to it.

I've thought about it and I think it's about time that we experiment with legalizing drugs now illegal and let the chips fall where they may. I'm still uneasy about doing this but I think lots of good could come from it and cut down on gang and mafia violence. I think the way to solve the problem is to get the addict to a drug rehabilitation center. Perhaps we should give it a trial period of five years and if it doesn't work out then we could go back to the system we have now. The thing is a hundred years ago all the hard drugs that are illegal now were legal then, and yet somehow society managed to function just fine a hundred years ago. It just seems we could free up government agencies for things like terrorists if we decided we were going to give the drugs thing a "pass" for a while. Apparently in England they handle the problems of hard drugs there differently. Drugs are obviously destructive and they ruin lives. Public servace messages are good. But look how overcrowded our prisons have become. How many more prisons do we need to build?

It appears that Los Angeles has taken tenative steps for getting a National Football League team in LA by making a new team pay for renovatring the Coloseum.

Leo Le Port was talking about the print screen command with DOS screens. I have found you can't paste from a DOS command because I was going to use sayings from "Behind the eight ball" in this blog, but it didn't work. I've found you can use print screen on "screen zero" in BASIC. Perhaps you can't use it in graphics screen 1. There was an 84 year old man still using Turbo-Pascal. That was around in 1989 when I was going to the computer lab at Cypress.

Now they are proposing a two tiered system of internet quality. If you don't pay extra you'll get inferior service. The corporations will slip in charges any way they can. I think these letters may come out too dark to look good on black. We'll see.

Pearl of Dubious Worth

We've already done one false start today. I was going to talk about the Da Vinci Code because the movie is out today but then I realized nobody gives a crap about that. As Ed Schultz says "It isn't going to alter my faith any". It's kind of like a kid going to kindergarten for the first time and he wants the blanket he carried with him all the time when he was two. Let me explain my position on church origens like this. Today on Days of our Lives there was a guy named Patrick holding a gun on John Black, who had just "kidnapped" his wife. If you didn't know the background you might buy into anything her husband, Alex North might say, not realizing he was a very dangerous, manipulative, homicidal man and Patrick was his hired gun. If you ask me what I believe in my heart of hearts I believe the origen of the Catholic Church is bogus. They're all lying and one day it will be proved for all. Jesus himself said, "What you whisper in the darkness will be shouted from the roof tops". He also said that there isn't any secret hidden that will not be revealed.

Let me prove using simple examples why I don't think the Church was founded on the idea that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead and floated off to heaven to "prepair a kingdom for us". Some might say "Do you doubt the people that say they saw him alive?" Seeing him alive does not prove he was ever dead. Seeing him alive does not prove he had a supernatural body and ascended to heaven at the right hand of the father, from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I'm just guessing but I'd guess more people have reported seeing Elvis alive than seeing Jesus alive. How come we don't have a church of Elvis? The answer comes, "Because people who say they saw other people alive whom we know are dead- - must be nuts". How is it that "nutty" statements were OK in Jesus' day but not in ours? How about his "clenzing of the temple?" What would happen is someone tried that today saying he was doing it because of his father. He'd be arrested and/or locked up. People would also add that if there are statements of Jesus which are combative, like saying the Jews were children of the devil- - we have to realize that Jesus was God so that he could make any statement he wanted to and it would be true. I think you see that we have a problem with circular reasoning here. We ourselves are expected to be civil, controled and "not a mental case" in our daily lives. We can't go around saying we've talked to Elvis, but we don't mind if people in the first century went around saying they've seen Jesus. My point is that there must be some "other cause" that brought the church into existance, and my guess it has something to do with Egypt because it's in Egypt where the cross with the question mark ("Did Jesus really die on the cross?") and also the gospell of Judas appeared. Some may say it's blasphamus to say Judas was "following Jesus' orders" when he betrayed him. In the Bible itself it says Jesus gave Judas the bread soaked in shrimp sauce or whatever to Judas and then he told Judas, "What thou hast to do, do quickly". I didn't make that up, it's in the text. As I have said before it's also in the Bible "strike the shepherd that the sheep be scattered". There you go; the apostles deserted Jesus. I don't think most of them ever came back, but if they did they saw that Jesus wasn't immortal.

We are supposed to think of our faith as the "Pearl of Great Price". You see Jesus had enough heavenly currency to buy "the whole field" but he only wanted the treasure out of the field- not the whole field. That treasure is the "pearl of great price". So it's silly to say that when the wicked die they go to Satan who owns their soul. Because Satan does not own their souls; Jesus does. He just doesn't want them. They are not among the elect even though they have been "blood washed" and all that. Of course the pearl is what appears in an oyster when a pebble of sand gets lodged within the oyster and gets secretions from the oyster and grows. If you worship the oyster you worship something living. If you worship the pearl you worship something that is not supposed to even be part of the oyster but is an alien substance- - sand.

It was thirty four years ago that this writer attempted suicide using pills and red wine. It was later that night perhaps nine hours after the fact that my family wondered when I'd regain consciousness. They said, "I don't know. He still had a hundred and fifty percent of a lethal dose still in his blood stream". In other words, I should have been dead. Being dead I cal tell you I saw no angels or demons or visions of any kind. I've always wondered why I didn't. If Jesus saw any angels or demons he never told his desciples about it. I guess from my own experiance and hearing about experiances of others I know it's possible to have a brush with death. And if you're curious and this may hurt- - but alledgedly the doctors told my family in essence I had O D'd on religion. I was too much into weird religion that I had been around the previous year plus. What a stinging indictment of Christianity!

Well, I know I've double tracked over a few issues you've heard before but I thought it necessary to freshen your memory. I think Jesus had a double-identity and that he was Philo of Alexandria, in Egypt. I think Egypt is where Jesus was born and Egypt is where he died. Egypt received "the gospell" more readily than any one else, and two of our four gospells were written in Egypt. Maybe the line is true, "I once loved a woman- - a child I'm told". Did Jesus leave a wife and child? Some may say that would be irresponsable if he did. But to plan out your own death is something almost anyone would say is irreponsible. But then "If Jesus is God" it's OK to be "irresponsible", I guess, whether he had a wife and kid or not. It would be irresponsible for anyone to plan their own deaths. We have no rational way of knowing whether Jesus lived a perfect life or not because we know virtually nothing about him before the age of thirty. For some reason this doesn't bother anybody.

In other news they have just declaired English as the official language of the US. Personally I think this is rather racist. They've been meeting a lot in secret a lot in Congress. Some people believe the most important things are done in secret.

When Being of One Mind is Mindless

A lot of Christian pastors hate the idea that God speaks to anybody but then. But it occurred to me that pastors don't much like the idea of Angels, guardian or otherwise, entering into the dialog. It struck me that if you were destined to go to Hell because in God's judicial oppinion the preponderance of evidence as he found it, was that you were not saved in your earthly life. I got to thinking, "Perhaps you could seek another oppinion, like from an angel. Jesus in the Bible said that the guardian angels of Children were "always in the presence of the Father". I'm not sure but does that mean that adults have "guardian angels" that go wayward, or only children are protected by angels at all? It struck me that if God ruled against you perhaps an angel or two might stand up and say "I know Joe Brown and he's a good man even if he never went to church or accepted your son". The angel might point to his job or work serving on the school board, or how his children were high achievers and well spoken of. But I got to thinking that part of the idea of "Holiness" is that there is no dessenting opinion about anything. In Moses' day if your oppinion varied from Moses and the leaders, the ground opened up and swallowed you up. I wonder if things are any different now. If God is as afraid of learning anything new that he doesn't already know as I think he is, his oppinion on anything might be like the Catholic Church five hundred years ago. You have "heretical knowledge" and that's the end of the discussion; you're going to Hell. I think God greatly fears that angels could be corrupted by the slightest bit of "sin", and by "sin" I mean erring in the slightest from God's oppinion on anything. Most Christian pastors don't like it when you speak in tongues in church. But at the same time that same Pastor may brag how often he himself speaks in tongues to establish his spiritual superiority. Being of "one mind" is nuts when that one mind itself is nuts. Since pastors regard themselves as perfect (and I've never admitted a pastor who apologised for anything) no wonder they say things like "look to me and not the gifts of God for the solution to all your problems. And by the way if you have any problems, it means you're lacking Faith. But at this point they won't say faith in "what" but only some Brand X generic Faith all christians are supposed to have, kind of like spiritual ritilan to keep them from getting out of line. They say God created variety but I don't see it in heaven. If there's any variety to be found it's mostly found in Hell because that's where all the people who express an original thought end up. Some may say "But there is variety in nature" but to quote from Jane Eyre, "We're not here to conform to Nature". Creation is largely seen as some gigantic mistake. A human being doesn't have the "out" that animals have saying "I do what I do because I have to exercise my survival skills or else I won't make it". Pastors want to be seen as the source of all good for their Congragation. If someone else has an origional idea to bring some new outreach program into that church, Pastors I know will be too paranoid to try it. This same pastoral trait makes Calvary Chapel pastors want to meet in the drabest of industrial warehouses- - the uglier the better because these people are even jealous of inaminate objects such as stained glass windows. They no doubt stay up at night with the frightening possability and some boy and some girl might have "hooked up" from attending his church.

In an effort to degrade angels there is one line in the Bible, in Hebrews, I believe, that states that blood washed saints such as Ted Bundy will judge Angels in the age to come. If Christians believe this one isolated verse over the rest of the Bible it means that angels are not perfect. If they are perfect as 99.9% of theologians say they are, then how on earth do we judge them. Some might say "Did angels keep bad things from happening to you in this life?" If I am to blame anyone for the lack of good things in this life I'm going to opt for Harry Trumans saying: "The buck stops here". Presumably God has that on his desk. He's the one in charge. He's the one responsible. If the world is predestined and the angels don't know it- they're just as much a victim of it as we human beings are. If anything I'll give my guardian angel a medal because I get the feeling if God had his way, worse things would happen to me. I get that feeling I tune in the Jesus Christ show Sunday mornings on KFI.

It is written in Genisis "It is not good for man to be alone". Many people consider their wives their angels or their "better half". Laura Sleshenger and various Christians who ponthicate a lot say "It is good for man to be alone". After all if Adam hadn't met Eve he'd have more time for religious devotionals and missionary work. That's what they always tell you when you're single.

Some wonder what "dimension" Angels exist in- if they do exist. As we have said countless times before in these blogs, angels and demons have immortality but "as for man himself he is dust and to dust he shall return". Some may ask, "Are angels like ghosts who drift invisably through our space?" There is one isolated verse in the Bible where a man is told to "open his eyes" and see that God's angels outnumber the enemy. But this is one isolated verse. I do not believe angels, if they exist, occupy our space. If they did I believe scientists would have proved it before now. They would have found a way to measure it. The Orion Federation uses the term "terrestrial" to denote a being who has gone from the sixth dimension to our normal space. (We have discussed this previously) If someone "appears inside a room" like Jesus is said to have done with his desciples, he did not enter by walking through walls. Rather he entered through a sixth dimensional "portal" and appeared. The Orion Federation refers to the sixth dimension as the "telestial" dimension. I don't know how any mortal could judge any angel because about any angel has been around a lot longer and has acquired a lot more knowledge and wisdom than any man. (selah)

As I have said previously- there have to be many paths to "finding God" because we all come from a different place. To say there is only one "path" to God is to say that all men are identical in their lives, their needs, beliefs, and sins It seems a point to pause on that in the Bible few men "find God" by going to temple or church. Indeed the "majority" seems most always to be without God if not downright wrong. God does not seem to require "credentials" in order to meet or be led by Him. These are my experiances with the Calvary Chappels and other churches. They may not be yours. I really didn't have anything else to blog of interest today. The news is rather flat. Those of you who watch Days of our Lives and think John Black's fortune may have taken a turn for the better- - don't hold your breath. Good things virtually never happen on N B C's two soap operas so I wouldn't expect them now. Too many peoples' lives are in ruts. If the ruts were easier to get out of, more people would. Those who do escape seem to develop amnesia as well as to what being in a rut was like. Medidate on this. A teacher with amnesia is of no use to any student.

Giving the Political Right Everything They Want

There are things we pretty much know to a metaphysical certitude. People say that forty percent of the right wing believe in the "Last Times" theology with Armageddon and all that. We can pretty much say any scenario they come up with they'll be wrong on ninety percent of the facts, if not all of them. We know for example that they will not talk about their beliefs with people like me, who have read the Bible. Basically Born Again Christians don't enjoy sharing what they're about because they know they look stupid when they talk. They just use their beliefs as sort of a code identifier to identify fellow believers. We hear that George Bush passed up the advice of his earthly father and instead heeded the advice of his heavenly father on the Iraq war. We can pretty much state to a metaphysical certitude that Christianity will never be proved, will never be "vindicated" or validated nor, or for any eternity in the future here on planet earth. In the same way that soap operas are predictable, so the Born Again right is predictable. Whether you are listening to them live over the radio or listening to a 35 year old tape, you're hearing the same thing, because these people never grow. Why should they? They think they're perfect. They work for the same "bad script writer" that for instance works on Days of Our Lives. We can pretty much say to a metaphysical certitude that Hope and Bo's marriage is over, that their twenty two year relationship will end in divorce. We can also say confidently that John Black will be in jail serving a term before he ever gets Marlena away from Alex. If you know "the ways of" the writers you can predict where they will go. Just as I can pretty much predict to a metaphysical certitude that I have no future in Christianity no matter what I choose to believe or not believe.

I didn't know that it's the same author who wrote both "The Emerging Republican Majority" in 1969, and "The New Theocracy" this past year. In the first book the author was siding with the right wing celebrating their victory. Many people have misconceptions about the year 1968. The reactionism we are experiancing now began in this year where Nixon and Humphrey were tied virtually in the popular vote, but that another twelve percent were to the right voting for George Wallace. In actuality Nixon had a majority of 57% running against a conservative pro Viet Nam war democrat! When Spiro Agnew gave a speech attacking the press and Nixon gave his "Great Silent Majority" speech, who would have guessed he was signaling one of the great Megatrends in modern society? A "C Change" of vast perportion was taking place. The author of "Theocracy" is obviously upset with all the religion in American society and seems to regard its presence throughout American history is some abnormal phenominon. The author's other concern is our addiction to mideast oil. We obviously didn't go to war in Iraq for oil or else the price wouldn't be so high.

The economy is running on mountains of debt. Someone said the debt industry is now outweighing regular industry as a percentage of the gross national product. The trade deficets we are running with China and other nations is astronomical and unprecidented. Personal debt is rising to new alarming perportions. It really doesn't take a tea leaf reader to say that pretty soon we are going to have one whipping business recession in this country. As we mentioned on an earlier posting 1929 may be just around the corner. Things economically are the most precarious in this country they have ever been since 1929. The last time I checked margin rates now were at fifty percent as opposed to eighty percent forty years ago. That means whatever crash in stocks we experiance the impact will be doubled. Some people say that will never happen. The way I see it an economic crash of some sort is almost inevitable. And we will all have george bush to blame. One pastor learned a poem as a little boy that went something like this:

Oh be careful little eyes what you see (ect. ect.)
Oh be careful little ears what you hear (ect. ect.)
Oh be careful little mouth what you say (ect. ect.)

We have this see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil mentality now among the Born Again right. And should the country go to hell in a hand basket they're not worried because they have a golden parachute in the form of instantanious transportation to the Pearly Gates. We have given the right wing everything they want. They have the courts, they have the Presidency and the executive branch, and they have the House and Senate. They can't win anything else. What we have now is akin to the Middle Ages when the Church ran everything and controled all the manuscripts and all knowledge. Whatever history we know now is only what that Church of the middle ages has allowed us to know. I get a little annoyed when people say, "There is almost no historic document saying Jesus was married". According to Tammy Bruce the Church came up with the doctrine of celebacy for Priests because other priests were leaving their vast fortunes to their children, their offspring. The church had to find a way to gain wealth and eliminating children as inheritors was just what they needed. Let me ask you this question. Were things perfect in the middle ages? Some may say "Well the church made a mistake". A mistake is something you make on a pop math quiz. This was a thousand year "mistake". Lots of murder and other oppression went on in that thousand years. People say the Catholic Church's opposition to astronomic science was just a "mistake" but their policy of repression went on well over a hundred years. You have the Dixie Chicks. Certain segments of our society are so bigoted that they will turn their back on this group after one little oppinion about George Bush in 2003. It's a testimony to red necked people in "Jesus Land" that they could virtually put a whole music group. Well, the Dixie Chicks are back and we'll see if they do better this time around.

The Christian Right today has very little to do with traditional conservative values in this country. Their view of the Constitution is very selective. They most certainly do not believe in either "limited government" or "ballanced budgets". Their views on China are whatever the President tells them to believe. They often are downright apathetic on the subject of human rights violations world wide. They hate Jimmy Carter though any president during this period would have suffered the same fate. Many of the energy conservation measures Jimmy Carter instituted actually ended up benefiting the Reagan adminestration. OK, I've said enough.

The Prince of Tyre

Greetings to all you blog-ees out there. Today I would like to talk about a topic that would seem the domain of the religious Christian zealot, and that is the identity of an individual called the anti-Christ. Just to define that term rightly, it's a person claiming to be the Messiah but who is in fact not the Messiah. One candidate is often called The Prince of Tyre. In the book of Daniel and in history, when Alexander the Great divided up his empire he devided it among his four generals. One of these was named Antiochus, from whence we get Antioch, which is the birth of the Christian religion. According to those who run this blog site, the Orion Federation states that classical Greeks are actually "Dardanians" racially. But there are other Green wanna-bees. It is believed by us that the antichrist comes from one of these Greek wanna-be peoples. We are going to quote from Ezekiel 28 extensively and see if you don't recognize anybody. Some say that Psalm 22 talks about Christ. Some say it's a crusifiction that is described. They draw from the line "I can count all my bones" the inference that Jesus did not have his legs broken as the other two thieves did. Also they say the line "all my bones are out of joint" referrs to crusifiction. Some may point to the thirty pieces of silver referred to in Zachariah as indication of Christ. Isaiah 52 and 53 is the center piece for many believers because this passage speaks of a man who dies for the sins of others. However nowhere in the Isaiah 53 passage is there talk of blood atonement or being "washed in his blood". It speaks of Jesus being a "root out of dry ground" and yet Jesus was visited by Kings upon his birth and given gifts and predicted to be the deliveror of Isrial. The passage speaks of Jesus being "smitten by God" and other desparaging things and says that Jesus was unpopular among people. You can see here that scripture is off the mark. Isaiah 53 also says "by his stripes (or scourging) we were healed. Isaiah 54 speaks metaphorically of the nation of Isrial as a widdowed woman and says "For a brief moment I forsook you" - - but he'll never do it again. Let's look at another scripture I first found in May of 1971 and have wondered ever since what it means. We are going to quote from it now.
: The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 : Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
3 : Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
We have stated that Jesus was the philosopher Philo of Alexandria, who was very wise
4 : With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 : By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6 : Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7 : Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
I believe this refers to Jesus being arrested by the Romans, who were foreigners.
8 : They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
When someone is crusified they literally sufficate to death, much as someone drowning. Also Jesus saw himself is a latter day Jonah, who as you know sailed on a ship and then was thrown overboard by the crew.
9 : Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Jesus was indeed put to death for claiming to be God in the flesh
10 : Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
I think we can call crusifiction as the "death of the uncircumcised"
11 : Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12 : Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Most people agree that Jesus was blessed with both wisdom and beauty.
13 : Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 : Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 : Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
He had a perfect life but at a point in time "iniquity" was found in him.
16 : By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Of course Christ was killed in Jerusalem, or "the mountain of God", Zion.
17 : Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 : Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
I'll leave it to you whether clenzing the temple was "defiling the sanctuary".
19 : All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Satan Uber Alles

I’m going to call this piece “Satan Uber Alles”. I have to ask myself if I were Satan what would be my fondest fantasy. First of all I’d want to negate virtue and uphold evil. If genocide is a bad thing I’d want to rub God’s face in the fact that it’s the “Evil” Democrats who fought the was in Bosnia and Kosevo while the “Good” Republicans opposed that war. I’d love it every time Larry Elder said “Our job as a country is not to fight wars for human rights”. I’d look at the Genocide going on in Sudan and get a big smile on my face and I’d get an even bigger smile at the prospect that the Christian US is doing absolutely nothing about it, because it’s too tied up in Iraq. When Dennis Prager talks about “fighting evil” it’s clear he’s not referring to the Moslems committing genocide against the Black Christians in western Sudan and Chad. In this vein of turning virtues into vices and vices into virtues- - I’d love it when the harder George Bush tries to solve the immigration problem from Mexico, the worse he does in the polls. Every time he opens his mouth he alienates another segment of the population. So that now his worst enemies are those within his own party. In the same vein of virtues into vices I’d love the Jesus Christ show. He’d be about my favorite person on the radio and I’d move heaven and earth to insure that he stays on the air. Jesus has said that it doesn’t matter if some of the firemen who risked their lives on 9 – 11 rescuing people from tall buildings- weren’t saved and ended up sacrificing their lives. The Enemy (God) says that sacrifice of your life is useless unless you’ve said those magic words accepting Jesus into your heart. After all some of those brave but unsaved firemen might deserve it because you never know but one of them might be a child molester. People who bring up the issue of firemen who died in an unsaved contition are only “trying to manipulate you” anyhow.

I’d be very glad for people like Rich Cathers. One time at a prayer session he said “Don’t get into anything too heavy- - and be sure you don’t gossip about someone else during the session. In short keep the whole thing completely surface and meaningless. The point is to put on a good show and entertain Me and feed My ego as some sort of a prayer MC, and not to get any work of God accomplished. As Satan I would find the CS Lewis book “The screwtape letters” highly amusing. I just love it when someone thinks that Me and My demons all speak with perfectly correct Christian theology. And of course our side never lies. We always tell the Truth exactly as C S Lewis says it. Someone could read that book and then face Me and My demons personally and be utterly shocked to realize sadly that We are nothing like the CS Lewis portrayal in the book. But I do like the plug for War that CS Lewis has in the book, even if he has to tell a lie to make his point. He says when you die in war it’s quick and instantaneous and painless and the minute you are dead you walk around in an all new body feeling refreshed like a Zest commercial after a shower. I love the fact that Christians are apathetic to other people’s pain. They make our job so much easier for us than it would otherwise be. Of course Jesus on the radio is down on healings. Meracles are the thing Our Side dreads the most and that we pray never happen, unless We cause them. One thing we want to insure is that people never look to God for anything Good. Indeed we don’t even want people associating the words God and Good. (selah)

We know that the battle for men’s souls is kind of like Israel fighting her enemies. All they need is won loss and the war is over. Isrial has to win every war they fight and if they lose one, they’re wiped out as a nation. So it is with salvation. It doesn’t matter how morally good people are. I love the fact that God doesn’t care at all about volitional acts of goodness because everything is “drowned in the blood of Christ”. The only thing that matters to God is if you’ve said those magic words letting Jesus into your heart- and if at any time you ever have doubt- - all of your protestations of Faith in the past will count for nothing and God will hold that one moment of doubt against you. And if you should protest this God will say to you in the afterlife “You wonder why I negate all of your faith? Because the ONE time you denied Me was the time I KNEW you were telling the truth. It’s a confession I was Waiting for you to make. In other words God is doing our work for us by working on our team sending people to Hell, to our side, because he apparently has no use for them. Indeed I thank Hell every day that the book “Destined for Salvation” isn’t true. Because if it were- our Kingdom of Darkness would be wiped out in a heart beat. As it is with God’s “mercy” and “delay of judgement” is that it just gives more people time to earn their way to Hell. And their own Messiah admitted that a lot more people come to Hell than ever make it to Heaven. (Selah)

We know patience and perseverance are traits of the Enemy and we need to wipe them out. We also need to provoke family arguments and strife, and if possible we need to prevent certain issues from every being talked about at all so that they can grow and fester under the surface till they reach a crisis point and then it’s too late. We know that Marcus Arelius has had concerns about the spiritual state of his parents and one of his two brothers. But he knows the more he even hints about it the bigger of a wall appears. We know that Marcus Arelius can’t talk to his family about anything really important. We know life for him is like one of these badly written improbable soap operas where there are a lot of secrets of all sorts that are kept well hidden. The Enemy (God) states that “confession is good for the soul” but we seek to make Honesty and Sincerety virtues that are punished every time they are practiced. Our side wants Christians to feel absolutely worthless and impotent no matter what they do. At the same time we want to destroy Christian values in America by increasing pornography and promoting abortion and gay marriage, and also promoting two-faced people such as Dennis Prager. Dennis isn’t “Holier than thou”. I tell you what. Dennis is “phonier than thou”.

In the spirit of soap operas being badly written and relying on the "improbably evil" aspects of things we like to present the following tributes to Satan:

Well we all heard George Bush’s immigration speech tonight. He’s made his position on the matter clear. I think we should all get behind the president on this one in a spirit of compromise. Many will say “We don’t need any new laws on illegals; we can enforce the laws we have”. Nothing in the new bill will stop people from enforcing the laws on the books we have now. I think the people who “want to send them all back” are just pie in the sky dreamers. I really think we have to be realistic. I am also aware that it’s the House that’s posing the road block, not wanting to get on board. Once we have a democratic house next year we should find it a lot easier to pass needed legislation.

Let’s talk about the soap operas on NBC. As you know, Hope Brady has been screwed over at least three times. She was screwed over by Bo when he gave daughter Chelsea the right to drive on that permit, she was screwed over when Bo lied to her about both that and the fact that Chelsea was being shielded from culpability for killing Zach by Billy. She was screwed over again when she saw Bo and Billy in bed in that motel room. And she was screwed over when Bo, at least as she saw it, agreed so readily to her initial feeler about a divorce. How her loving husband Bo, who would “do anything to keep their marriage together” is about to give her the most royal screwing of all by moving up the date of Chelsea’s trial and not telling Hope about it. Frankie, her attorney, may be doing the legal thing by not telling her himself but he sure isn’t doing the moral thing. In an endeavor to keep from legal suits himself- - I’d sue Frankie anyway just to demonstrate that conflict of interests isn’t Kosher. I don’t know if you can be disbarred for that but it’s certainly unethical behavior. Of course being with Alex North is just like the Born Again experience. You are with someone looking forward to the day of your death and you don’t get to know what he (God or Alex) is really like until the day of your death and by then it’s too late. He drugs some to keep them “happy” and “unaware” and Marlena says she is happy but has no basis of comparison to even know what happiness for her is. Alex is so bold in his lying he lies right in front of John, Hope, and Marlena saying John is “stalking” him when he himself caused John to show up on that Island getaway honeymoon. On Passions Luis just missed seeing Beth and Martin, of course, when Fancy was talking to them. If it were me I’d be looking over my shoulder all the time and pursuing every lead and telling everybody I knew I was looking for a Brunette with an American accent and a small baby boy. These people on soap operas take “stupid pills”, as judge Judy might say. Whitney was not killed by “God” after all, which is good. Ethan is joining Teresa on the plane after all after Gwen agrees to it.
