The Point

The point is that history will repeat itself if we fail to learn the lessons.

As I see it, that is what Jesus Christ tried to teach us and we crucified him rather than deal with it.

People will gladly play ignorant and go to war, as crazy as that sounds, rather than deal with the Truth.

People will suffer only to take advantage of their oppressors.

Don't ever forget that the antichrist runs the show down here, inasmuch as we allow it to.

In order for Christ to reign we must at least be willing and vigilant.

And that seems boring because we are taught that it is boring.

We are not raised in a society that seeks edifying and encouraging or uplifting pastimes. We shun God. We don't even want Him watching us.

You can't ride a roller coaster if you don't stray from the Truth.

But is that everyone's desire? Most people, once they have gotten the chance to ride the roller coaster, get sick and remark on how uncomfortable a ride it was. On the other hand, once most people have tasted the goodness of Christ and Righteousness and been uplifted by the Holy Spirit, know what it is to feel Divine, and nothing can replace or top that.

And now you can see why people love and hate those who have the Divine in them, because they themsleves have given up that right, and all because they wanted to ride a cheap amusement park ride that is now rusting in a forgotten park somewhere or being replaced by condominiums being built by a corporation which will just as speedily abandon the care of said condos when it can no longer make a profit.

People have been stabbing one another in the back since the fall of Adam and have been hating those who refuse to play that way.

It's childish and it all starts in the playground.

"Games may seem childish, but it must not be forgotten that all of our deepest hostilities arise in childhood and that the most effective devices known for unburdening ourselves of aggression are childish, essentially childish."

quoted from the book "Man Against Himself"

As Martin Luther King Jr once said,

"Just as we must learn to love wisely, so we must learn to hate expeditiously, to turn destructive tendencies away from ourselves, toward enemies that actually threaten us [rather] than toward the friendly and [the] defenseless, the more usual victims of destructive energy."

Where does our aggression come from?

The "Kingdom of Evils" (props to Ernest Southerd):

Ignorance, vice, crime, disease, poverty, ugliness, and agressiveness...

As children, we are sometimes and more and more often as time goes on taught to embrace these evils, and when we find ourselves in the "hogpen" we don't always see that it is our own fault for winding up in it. And what's worse is the people we should accuse and separate ourselves from because they raised us to partake in said evils are our own friends and family. Because we have bonded with these all our lives, we are reluctant or even unwilling to blame the guilty party, and we turn on whomever we can. A la Hitler, he was unwilling to blame his own brethren for the state of his own circumstances, but he needed a hate object, as we all do, he chose the Jew. I think it was because his own brethren scared him more than the Jew.

"Frequently love/hate objects are selected because of their narcissitic value, which always implies ambivalence, each party serves as a target of the self destructive energies of the other.

Such love objects are better renounced. So too must the hate objects be removed."

again from "Man Against Himself"

So, my point is, as it always has been, our enemy is sin, not one another.

And that movements like the sleazy love culture birthed a fraudulent hedonistic culture of vice and forgetfulness to the extreme. Also birthed a sea of false christians and slick willy types, flimflam artists, and all manner of digruntled americans with no where to turn...they're trapped and no one has the intestinal fortitude to admit it. It made cowards of an entire nation. Tell this to your die hard hippy and they will come at you with more aggressive hatred than Hitler ever possessed.

Because you're threatening the "stash, man..."

It's ugliness and the other extreme is the militant ignorance of the die-hard "American," who is completely willing to allow everyone the "right" to sin as long as they are first to the dinner table when you fall, and you will. As if there existed a single reason to be proud about this nation beyond a distant past of Saints we called Pilgrims.

And who gets all the hate poured on them? The children, the innocents and those who are strong enough to overcome.

They must turn "Nazi" to defend their right to seek and live for and to God. It's inexcusable.

But the single act of admitting we are WRONG about our way of "life," would save us all. No one is willing, so we crucify Christ anew everyday in every way. But we were taught there is a better Way. But it takes the patience of a Saint and not many have that.

Hbr 6:4-12 For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame.

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

But that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected, and [is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
