(I know how weak my own willpower is, you see.)<BR/><BR/>It is such a waste of breath talking with religious people, who seem to have started hovering around your blog in some numbers, like unhappy ghouls. (I could use less flattering similes but am prompted to be kind to the poor souls.) <BR/><BR/>It is such a pity. They have been indoctrinated from childhood to "listen to their elders" and not to think or feel for themselves. Their precious Bible is so much more marvelous than they can even realize, because their hearts are closed up and imprisoned by their closed minds.<BR/><BR/>I was fortunate to grow up in a British educational system, and to have wonderful parents who treated me with respect, and not as a foolish child to be made to shut up and not ask questions. I taught myself to read at the age of 3, since, being the youngest by 3 years and both parents being out working, there was nobody to read stories to me. By 10 I was reading Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. Again fortunately, the public libraries did not have "kids only" and "adults only" sections - I could take out anything I wanted to read.<BR/><BR/>Later, I met people who revealed to me the secrets of what life is all about. Not that I deserved it - I just got lucky. I can only suppose that I must have a very fine and caring guardian angel watching over me. I have led a very obscure and unimportant life, but when I tell others about it, they sit entranced and tell me I should put it all down in a book. It has been wonderful beyond words.<BR/><BR/>I do not have the time or energy to try to reach the minds of people who have unfortunately been told to accept whatever a "person in authority" tells them. Myself, I have no position of authority, would not want one, and despise authority - how one human being can think they know better than another how the other should lead their own life, and can feel justified in compelling them to do so, is puzzling to say the least.<BR/><BR/>Even George Bush. If people knew the horrors of his childhood as the son of that monstrous mother of his, they might be more charitable. Had he not tried and succeeded to become the President, he would have been an object of pity, instead of hatred. Without question, he is an evil, greedy, warped, and coldly sadistic creature, who has been the cheerleader for a whole crew of similarly evil Republicans, and has done immense damage to millions or hundreds of millions of people.<BR/><BR/>But life is funny. There are probably millions of people just as warped and vicious as him, but they never get to affect more than the immediate circle of their own family and acquaintances. (Unless, like Barbara Bush, they give birth to someone whose destiny is to affect millions.)<BR/><BR/>And there are probably millions of people just as kind and holy and good as the Pope or Mother Teresa, but they toil in obscurity as gardeners, busboys, or plain simple fathers such as yourself.<BR/><BR/>How many Einsteins have lived and died in poverty in villages in Africa or Asia, without ever having the educational opportunity to discover the laws of the universe and lift the human race from its present ignorance?<BR/><BR/>The huge waste of human talent in this world is beyond imagining.<BR/><BR/>Life is a wonderful and precious gift. We fail miserably to understand the sanctity of life. Life is God, is Love. God is Love, is Life. There is a marvelous line from the Lebanese writer Mikhail Naimy, who is far better than his well known compatriot Khalil Gibran. In his book "The Book Of Mirdad," he writes:<BR/><BR/>"We Live, that we may learn to Love. We Love, that we may learn to Live."<BR/><BR/>How can one possibly get such a simple and profound message through to people who are so proud of how many Biblical passages they can quote in any given situation? Who gives a damn about their book learning? What does quoting the Bible have to do with really living? What does it have to do with loving? What does it have to do with God?<BR/><BR/>If God should reveal even one percent of Himself to us, we would be struck dumb, unable to describe that experience. Nor would we want to. It is what Jesus meant when he cautioned us, "Throw not your pearls before swine." No one of us can save the soul of another. Nor should we try. That is God's work, and we should leave it to God to bring light into the darkness of other people's souls.<BR/><BR/>(Are you listening, Self?)<BR/><BR/>So, dear Will, thank you for all your efforts and your crusades on behalf of justice and Godliness. I commend you and pray that God strengthens your writing arm and keeps your pen sharpened for you. Only one piece of advice, if I may humbly offer it: Never neglect your lovely wife and beautiful children in the effort to enlighten the rest of the world. They are the most precious gifts you have been given. They are the little sheep and the talents entrusted to your care by the Good Shepherd, which you must multiply and make to yield love and more love, tenfold and a hundredfold, with His help.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, and happy adventures.<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Lemuel Gulliver.Jonthan Swiftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-64753814563791494832008-11-12T07:13:00.000-07:002008-11-12T07:13:00.000-07:00When faced with a daunting issue - the key questio...When faced with a daunting issue - the key question is of course: "What would Obama do?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-44227876680118701042008-11-12T00:55:00.000-07:002008-11-12T00:55:00.000-07:00Mr. Grigg,Again, I must point you in the direction...Mr. Grigg,<BR/><BR/><BR/>Again, I must point you in the direction of <A HREF="http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2008/11/president-obama-with-little-perspective.html" REL="nofollow">Unqualified Reservations</A>, where the... eccentric author has, among other things, given a fairly convincing explanation of why Democrats sound so much like post-millenialist protestants (in short, they are, but they've given up belief in God so they can pass off their religion as objective knowledge). You will surely not agree with much of what the man has to say, but this is part of what makes the world interesting.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious if you have any insight into why the Democrats aren't pursuing Republican abuses in information gathering more vigorously. <A HREF="http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/10/nsas_warrantles.html" REL="nofollow">The abuses are egregious</A>; surely they aren't so completely bereft of character that they would allow such blatantly unconstitutional behavior to continue so that they might gain from it later.<BR/><BR/>I jest, of course.<BR/><BR/>But really, it's a little eerie that there isn't more noise about this.Neutrino Cannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11975378867727506317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-46164873428598404222008-11-11T11:01:00.000-07:002008-11-11T11:01:00.000-07:00Ooops!

Will knows me and I know him - he is a gentleman and a scholar and a true American patriot of the highest order, and I have nothing but respect for him, and for his graciousness and poise in carrying on with so much courage in the face of life circumstances that would drive most of us to despair.<BR/><BR/>Do you really think that me dropping a quip like "tarring Obama with the same brush" was done unintentionally out of some Freudian racial prejudice? Will is familiar with my mouth, and I think he knows I don't make slips of the keyboard. It was meant lightheartedly.<BR/><BR/>We only tease those for whom we have respect and affection. <BR/><BR/>I was born and grew up in a country where my white skin was only 5% of the population. 45% were from Africa, and 50% were from the Indian subcontinent. I have visited at least 40 countries, spending up to 6 months in each. This is just to illustrate for you that I long, long ago abandoned any sort of racial or religious or any other prejudice. I am sorry that you think that "out of the evil of my heart I bring forth evil things."<BR/><BR/>I do not, however, understand how you can call Obama a thief, and at the same time ignore the fact that from 1776 till 1913, there was virtually no inflation in America, but that since 1913 the dollar has lost 98% of its value. A loaf of bread which cost 5 cents in 1913 now costs $2.50. Do you not realize that in 30 years, due to inflation, your wages and those of every working American have not gone up one cent? Meanwhile, the riches of the people who print and inflate the money supply have risen enormously? And that they have stolen from you, your children, and your grandchildren, who will be paying for the next 100 years to get this country out of debt? And that now, as a grand finale to the eight years of grand theft nation that have gone on under BushCo, they are stealing by the trillions - the trillions!! - and calling it "bailouts" for the same thieves who have robbed this once-great nation into the poorhouse. <BR/><BR/>Jesus said: "You strain at a gnat, but swallow a camel."<BR/><BR/>You have been robbed blind. Literally. You cannot even see it. The knife inserted between your ribs was so sharp and deadly you did not even feel it, even as your lifeblood drained into the fleshpots of those oligarchs.<BR/><BR/>And because Obama wants to restore some of your stolen wealth to YOU, you call him a thief. Friend, you are a very unfortunate dupe, who apparently believes everything the media tell you, not realizing that the media are the propaganda organs of the elite and the oligarchs. You think the news you see is real? The anchorpersons are chosen for their acting ability - their ability to read from a teleprompter and make it sound as if they mean and believe what they are saying. They are whores working for a pimp like any other whore.<BR/><BR/>Do not fall for it.<BR/><BR/>There is so much that goes on that you do not know, and nobody in America knows. The control of the media and shaping of public opinion by the government and the corporations is so complete and so pervasive, you would be staggered. It takes work and diligence to find out the truth, and most people are too busy, or have been indoctrinated not to care, even when it means their own lives and those of their children.<BR/><BR/>You may swear at me, call me a fool and a liar, and quote the Bible at me till the cows come home, it is all meaningless to me. <BR/><BR/>Did Jesus condemn the crowd which shouted, "Crucify him!"? No, His response was, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." With an example like that to follow, none of us should condemn what our fellows do out of ignorance.<BR/><BR/>I hope you will try to cultivate a little more healthy skepticism and will not accept everything you read and are told, even by me. Learn to think and evaluate for yourself. That's why God gave us humans such marvelous brains - so we could use them.<BR/><BR/>Kindly yours,<BR/>Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-26791978318577761042008-11-10T20:20:00.000-07:002008-11-10T20:20:00.000-07:00Dear Mr. Spock @ 4:54 pm,1 Corinthians 3 - 5.Yours...Dear Mr. Spock @ 4:54 pm,<BR/><BR/>1 Corinthians 3 - 5.<BR/><BR/>Yours sincerely,<BR/>Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-56586767861833107502008-11-10T13:55:00.000-07:002008-11-10T13:55:00.000-07:00America's greatest hope is thetotal abject collaps...America's greatest hope is the<BR/>total abject collapse of the<BR/>fiat dollar.<BR/><BR/>Even the Chinese are beginning to worry.<BR/><BR/>In this regard, Obama is just the ticket.willbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-75226005031480633662008-11-10T08:45:00.000-07:002008-11-10T08:45:00.000-07:00The incomparable Paul Craig Roberts has also resta...The incomparable Paul Craig Roberts has also restated the obvious in his latest missive (here: http://www.vdare.com/roberts/081109_conned.htm, among other places).

My wife and I received a very unpleasant reminder of that fact this morning in church, where a guest pastor delivered a purported sermon on Proverbs 31. It was a rambling mess from a disorganized mind, replete with irrelevant personal anecdotes and feeble attempts at humor. The constant meanderings and confessions of ignorance ("Now I really don't know the first thing about...") reminded us of a babbling teenage girl. The women in the congregation loved it, giggling in affirmation. The men sat there and took it with bovine resignation. A friend sitting next to me (a cultured, educated brother) finally closed his Bible and spend the last ten minutes examining his fingernails. The Word was being mostly ignored anyway. <BR/><BR/>We're impatient for our regular pastor to get back from a mission trip to Sudan. Whenever he leaves, his temporary replacements are almost always anti-intellectual hacks who talk to the congregation as though we are stupid children. Next time he leaves, we're going to find out how long he'll be away, so we can find a place to be spiritually fed in the meantime.Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09588152043282020438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-85795895095632206362008-11-09T16:37:00.000-07:002008-11-09T16:37:00.000-07:00I truly cannot believe there are people that belie...I truly cannot believe there are people that believe Obambi is "one of us" This man has been groomed from early adulthood for this new position.

But, obviously, we as humanoids know not for certain whether FDR nor, for that matter, whether, say, our own neighbor who passed on last week went to Heaven or Hell, because we can't completely read the heart of other people.<BR/><BR/>However, lifestyles and the way people operate (conduct themselves, behave, speak, etc.) on a regular basis, logically, says a lot about where their heart really is. No surprise there.<BR/><BR/>rick: <I>FDR probably went to hell, hitler probably went to hell, j edgar hoover.......probably went to hell.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, unfortunately, the stereotypical image of those destined for Hell is seemingly always constrained to those who have done heinous wrongs beyond what the average Joe/Jane Sixpack manages in his/her uneventful life.<BR/><BR/>Yet, the reality is that simple acceptance/rejection of Christ's death on the cross and later resurrection as payment for ones sins is what determines ones eternal destiny. Those who reject the gift are hell-bound, while those who earnestly accept it are heaven-bound.<BR/><BR/>IOW, many of those who never steal a dime, murder a soul, or rape a soul, or other <I>heinously</I> evil act will, like the merry ol' rich man, nevertheless go to Hell. While some, like Paul, a former self-confessed murderer, become great servant saints and go to Heaven when death arrives. "Ouch! that hurt my feeling of self-righteousness."<BR/><BR/>Glad to help knock one down a notch or three...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Ron Paul, speaking on the Alex Jones show, <A HREF="http://www.infowars.net/articles/november2008/051108Paul.htm" REL="nofollow">thinks</A> the election of Obama will be a helpful catalyst towards the elitists' ultimate goal of world [socialist] government. As if I had to place that modifier in there, but commoners by and large are wont to think (hmm, no, that's an oxymoron), or rather, assume, anything.<BR/><BR/>After all, we certainly didn't think we're on our way to a world <I>republican</I> government now did we? No, of course not! At least I assume most of US who come here anyway. Commoners are really (yes, REALLY!) ignorant and/or stupid, given the decades-running socialist education the vast mass receive from toddlerhood through college.<BR/><BR/>Ergo, naturally, Paul's warning is not really a bona fide revelation to those who possess a modicum of insight. Given the fact the people at large are essentially amoral, I guess I shouldn't be all that shocked at how the vulgar class, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36x8rTb3jI" REL="nofollow">some of whom even see their mortgages and gas being paid by the Redeemer himself</A> (oh Lawd Obama, how generous he be!), views the Magic Negro as a form of <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x-wpc2TpoM" REL="nofollow">idol to worship</A>. So many seem enamored with the words "hope," "change," and the personage of Barack Obama.<BR/><BR/>It's also evident from one particular comment above that you eventually will force one to bring his/her true colors to bear when you begin to deconstruct the personage who manifestly represents their philosophy and see the same reaction come forth that they so heartily lambasted the "other side" about. It's all so predictable...yawn. Newsflash! Bushsky, Marx of Cain, and Baracko Obamalini are only superficially different vines that sprout from the same weed root (totalitarianism). It's a controlled dialectic, Mr. Gulliver.<BR/><BR/>As I mentioned in a previous comment thread, Will, most people only opposed the bailout because it was destined for greedy Wall Street richies. Had it been for greedy commoner boys and girls, there'd have been a shout of joy and screams of delight. Even so, I think Lawd Obama is even considering his own version of a stimulus check to shower the hapless commoner herds with. Let's see how much of an outcry we hear. Bleh...don't hold your breath. The commoners don't oppose subsidies outright, only subsidies to certain parties.<BR/><BR/>Will, I can't wait until you start verbally defacing the Obamist Regime just as heartily as you do/did the Bushevik Regime. Of course, we have to await his coronation, but it ought to be fun! I detest all totalitarian -isms, whatever their makeshift labels: Islamo-Leninism, Islamo-fascism, Ecclesio-Leninism, Lavender-Leninism, eco-nazism, femi-fascism, watermelon Leninism, Red statism, Blue statism, Magenta statism, etc., etc.<BR/><BR/>rick: <I>if you really want change, i mean REALLY want change? try praying. unlike a vote, a fervent prayer always gets counted. "the heart of the king is in the hands of...?"</I><BR/><BR/>Lastly, I agree with rick. We need to be prayin', not only for friends and family, but for enemies and for ALL those in positions of authority over us, including Lawd Obama, come his coronation upon the cherry-blossom throne Jan. 20. It's hard to contemplate that at this stage, at least for me, but we need to do it anyway. You know, like we do with Bush in office, and Clinton before him, and so on? Hmm, uh, yeah. Anyway, as for me, I've been seriously slackin' in this regard, particularly concerning praying for my enemies and those in positions of authority at all levels for a long time.dixiedoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09845646940134894119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-84630771684168217302008-11-08T22:47:00.000-07:002008-11-08T22:47:00.000-07:00Yes, it's time to trash the idea of negative liber...Yes, it's time to trash the idea of negative liberties and have government provide officially recognized victim classes all the plunder they desire.
