Biblical Ponderations

Tis rather odd that I, a lifelong outlaw who always imagined himself a biker (NO, not the spandex variety), find myself as a writer focusing so much attention on matters Biblical. My upbringing was unusual, to say the least. Born to a non-LDS family in an almost completely LDS town, in an almost completely LDS state. The mystery of it all, distilled by the experiences the situation provoked, left me rather doubtful of, yet fascinated by Biblical concepts. I pendulated toward and away from the religious ideals that were the ideological foundation that my friends and I grew up surrounded by. I ended up quite solidly grounded in the fantasy of being an outlaw. I did have a rather close brush with religion during which I actually and honestly qualified for a Temple Recommend, got “sealed” with my wife, and began attending Temple ceremonies, which ended up scaring me away. Tis a long irrelevant story. In any case, like many who fall away from LDS doctrine, I drifted towards atheism to the point of claiming to be one, which I never was.

My religious evolution led through years of intense study of Christian philosophy and Biblical study, yet my level of doubt left me an agnostic, all of which guided me toward my interest in and study of folklore (BS in creative writing, MA in Humanities/Folklore, PhD in Humanities/Mythology and Occultism). 

My interest in politics in the form of classical liberalism is inherent. John Locke, the father of liberalism, who wouldn’t recognize the “liberalism” being promoted on our university campuses and our media (propagandia), hugely inspired our Founders. John Locke’s justification of revolt was based on what he perceived as our natural rights. The tasty concept that our rights are inherent and not granted by a government. Our Declaration of Independence can be said to have condensed Locke’s fundamental argument into a few hundred words. It also reveals the true nature of the Founders, which was based on Christianity and/or deism. From the highly spiritual proposition of our Declaration of Independence, the founders moved on to secularism in setting up the boundaries of our government, the Constitution.

Be that as it may, my political interest led me to a deeper consideration of the motivations behind what I see as one of the most corrupt, self-interested organizations on the planet, the Democrat party. Whatever one thinks of Judeo-Christian concepts, the Democrat party is organized against those concepts. A civil war to maintain slavery, A battle to restrict Black and female Americans from voting, the Trail of Tears, the Palmer Raids, Japanese internment camps, fire hoses and dogs used against children during the demonicrat fight against civil rights for Black America, the list goes on and on. And currently, the battle to support, finance and expand abortion; girls can be boys and boys can be girls, and we’ll cut off penises and administer hormone treatments to children too young to know or care about sexual preference; men allowed to compete against women in athletic events, what the Hell logic or rational justifies any of that?

An important consideration, which is an element of all existence, is that nothing happens without cause. Darwin’s finches adapted for a reason that had nothing to do with the ideological concept of evolution. The finches didn’t become snails, nor did lizards become finches. There are a lot of nonsensical explanations for the Civil War, i.e., States’ rights, but it was fought in the attempt to maintain slavery. From there, the democrats (I’ll refer to them as demonicrats) moved on to attempting to prohibit Black and female Americans from voting, the development of the KKK to bring their racist discrimination to a new, and even lower, level. Wherever my agnosticism had taken me, it became obvious that there had to be an evil involved that is beyond simple ignorance and stupidity. A hatred from outside the realm of human reasoning. As one investigates the mystery, it becomes apparent that, like it or not, Satan fits the bill quite nicely.

In light of that concept, the absurdities begin to make more sense. There is absolutely no logic nor justification for sexually mutilating children too young to know or care about sexual preference. It is certainly a pure evidence of the presence of an evil force driving people to an absurdity no imagination is likely to muster on its own.

All of which illuminates the irrational hatred held by demonicrats and others for Donald Trump. Before his first run, he was respected and held in a positive light by most Americans, but after his trip down the escalator, he found himself in a world of hatred difficult to comprehend. A hatred that has come to be called “Trump derangement syndrome.” As a political commentator, I spend hours interacting with people who hate Donald Trump, and in all these interactions, I push for some logic. “Why do you hate Donald Trump?” “What has he done that justifies you despising him as you do?” In nine years, in hundreds of discussions, I’ve not gotten a single logical explanation. Plenty of name-calling, “he’s a liar,” “he’s a misogynist,” “he’s a fascist,” (most not knowing what a fascist is), “he’s a threat to democracy,” “he’s an egotistical asshole,” but in all that time, not a single attempt at an actual explanation. In any non-political exchange, such is not the case. Most people can explain why they don’t like the Beatles without employing insults.

Which brings us back to the Biblical aspect of all of this. On October 6, Israelis were living in a time of peace. A time that was obliterated by the horrendous, inhumane terrorist attack on October 7. “For I will give the command, and I will shake the people of Israel among all the nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, and not a pebble will reach the ground.” (Amos 9:9) “The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:1-3) And what is going on in the world today? What will become of the leftist anti-Semites on our university campuses? The anti-Semites in our Congress?

And the desperately hated Donald Trump delivers unwavering support for Israel. “The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.” (Proverbs 12:15) The way of demonicrats seems rather obviously inspired from below.

“…I’m Satan Reincarnated” (Whether you ThInk so or Not!)

Thank God and all the angels, Trump delivered in a landslide. In spite of the lies of the propagandia “Trump’s win was close, not a landslide” (Many Propaganda resorces). It is possible that the rigging of the 2020 election, in spite of the horrors enacted by the Pedophile-in-Chief (or whoever’s actually running things), has spurred the opening of the eyes of America. As an aside, it is fun to note the propagandia are claiming the election was rigged! Al Jazeera going as far as claiming that Elon Musk’s Starlink was used to rig the election. I know, I know, what a hoot!

As a lifelong outlaw (not the same as criminal) I’ve not lived a life inspired by Christianity. I grew up surrounded by it, but developed a skepticism early on, which left me looking elsewhere for inspiration. The religion I was close to was very racist and this was during the era of the civil rights battle America went through during the 60s. While the “faithful” around me were members of a faith that refused to allow Black people to hold the Priesthood. Commentary tended towards n—ers being so dumb that they are destroying their own neighborhoods. My father, who wasn’t a member of that faith, would sit me down before the TV and explain to me the foundation of racism. Martin Luther King, Jr. was held up as a hero. In spite of his weaknesses, he WAS! I was being taught in church about the Curse of Cain. We were taught that black skin was a punishment and was the “Mark of Cain” referenced in the Bible. We were taught that one day “n—ers” will become righteous and their skin will lighten and they will then be allowed to hold the Priesthood. The founder of that faith didn’t share that prejudice but his death put in place a leader who did. History and Biblical predictions have swayed me back onto the path of Judeo-Christian principle.

As a highly educated Folklorist, I love the fact that Donald Trump has become one of history’s greatest examples of the most popular folkloric genre, the heroic outlaw. An ideology which appears to have begun with Robin Hood and includes such notables as Arnaud de Cervole. Archpriest of Velines, King David, Leif Erikson, Robert the Bruce, Rob Roy, Butch Cassidy, Wyatt Earp. The more garbage they heap upon Donald Trump, the more heroic he becomes.

Which leads us to the inverse, an assholish criminal, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. Joe Biden has long played the role of a kindly, feeble minded cousin, which he’s anything but. He is an asshole right to the core. He’s an absolute, bald faced liar who seems, and maybe is, unaware of what truth and dishonesty are. A listing of his lies would be encyclopedic. There are so many lies in the span of his career, that the number would be impossible to calculate. The media and the demonic rat establishment mostly ignore it, sometimes even spreading the lies. “Biden is as sharp as a tack!” “The federal debt is no problem.” “Prices continue to fall as wages rise.” Quotes can be difficult to find as the rigged search engines, although admitting he’s a liar don’t print the actual quotes. He claims to have been arrested while working with civil rights protestors, when he actually worked against them. He opposed school integration. He claimed he got arrested in South Africa while trying to meet with Nelson Mandela. He Eulogized Robert Byrd who formed a chapter of the KKK in Sophia West Virginia. About The oBama Biden said, “I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” “And unlike the last president, in my first two years in office, even with all we’ve done – I’m the first one to cut the federal debt by $1 trillion $700 billion.” “And, by the way, my Grandpop Biden, who died very young – he was – died in the hospital I was born in six days before I was there, I mean before I was born.” His Grandfather died more than a year before Biden was born and at a completely different hospital. The list goes on and on and on.

And then there is the matter of performance. The Anita Hill Hearings Joe Biden and Orrin Hatch oversaw a disastrous testimony that they structured. Biden called no independent experts and forced Hill to defend herself alone against an avalanche of immensely powerful white men. His 1994 Crime Bill was as responsible for mass incarceration as any other piece of legislation passed in the last forty years. Biden used his son’s death for his own political gain in 2016.

Biden politicized the enforcement of federal law. His Justice Department failed to treat equal offenders equally. They gave harsh punishments and lengthy pre-trial detentions to peaceful protestors who on January 6 engaged in protest, few of whom engaged in any violence or destruction of property. Compare this to the DOJ’s treatment of Antifa and BLM rioters who tried to burn down a federal courthouse in Portland, a much more serious federal crime. The military also politicized in embarrassing ways.

Biden’s people lied about his son Hunter’s laptop, claiming its contents was Russian disinformation. He employed his suffering addict of a son to peddle influence to our enemies.

He lied about what Donald Trump said regarding the Charlottesville protests. He lied about Kyle Rittenhouse, claiming the teenager was a white supremacist before his trial even began. Throughout his political career, he has plagiarized and told whoppers about things he is supposed to have done (but didn’t do).

And even now, after the game is over, he’s working against America. He’s spending a last minute 2 Trillion dollars, which sill force Trump to trim spending for the rest of the year which will also influence GDP, making Trump look bad when Peddo-Joe is completely at fault (remembering that the propagandia will spread and amplify the lie.) Biden is fueling a new explosion of inflation which will then be blamed on Trump. Thank Zeus X is now the media, the lies won’t work. Still the damage is being done. The demonic rat party is working, as it always has, to destroy America! 

And now the “pardons.” Preemptive pardon? A murderer of millions (Fauci), an absolute military traitor (General Milley), a Republican traitor (Liz Cheney), the entire Jan. 6 “committee” who put dozens of peaceful protestors in jail, where they sat for years! This is America??? Satan’s plan is still in gear and advancing, but the recent rejuvenation of true conservatism, of the type envisioned by William F. Buckley, Jr. is going to make it much more difficult.

Tolerance

Sadly, I’ve been pretty intolerant of what I refer to as “demonicrats.” The fact is that as an academic, I’ve been surrounded by commie-libs a great deal of the time. While I still believe the father of the demonicrat religion is Satan, that doesn’t make his followers evil so much as misguided, and I can think of no exceptions to the fact that my commie-lib friends, and yes, I’ve even got family who are members, are magnificent, caring, and loving people.

I’ve attempted to get various people to explain what it is that attracts them to the faith. So far, not even one has attempted to make an explanation. They say, “Oh Bacon,” roll their eyes and move forward in their arena of ideology. When I get specific, “what’s the deal with abortion?” they get angry. No specifics, just anger. “Reproductive freedom?” What the Hell is that? The right to have sex and murder the result? I suppose it is unfortunate that a woman becomes responsible for a life other than her own when she becomes pregnant, but that is indeed the case. More respect is given to an adopted pup than to an unborn human being.

Forgetting about all the obvious and healthy organizations working specifically for Satan, what’s going on is nothing new. Dante’s poem, “The Divine Comedy,” tracks a descent through nine levels of Hell. Many of the figures in his poem were real life politicians of his day. More than 200 people were executed for witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trial era. Religious persons doing the devil’s work. Daniel Defoe, famous for “Robinson Crusoe,” also wrote, “The Political History of the Devil,” where he claims that Lucifer manipulates world events and politics both in his own form and by possessing the minds and bodies of his allies. He saw the Catholic Church as friends and coworkers of the devil, and held the Crusades as evidence.

At the head of this argument lies the question, does Satan exist? Like most everything in the spiritual world, we don’t, and can’t, know. The evidence, however, seems rather potent. Look at what’s happening in our “liberal” world. It’s very moniker, “liberal” is stolen from a purely capitalistic and free-market oriented ideology which they’ve bastardized into the complete opposite of that defining principle. Looking at Biblical principles, liberalism is steadfastly against them all. The Democrat party’s number one apparent principle, they refer to as “reproductive rights,” which I and the Bible, see not as a right, rather a series of responsibilities.

Assuming, as I do, that there is a Satan, doesn’t leave us in the dark. The debate we undergo today which ridicules spirituality of a deistic nature, hasn’t always been the case, thus history of the concept of Satan is ample. To begin with, a title he has earned, The Father of Lies: John tells us that Satan “has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him” (John 8:44). Satan disguises himself in illusions of righteousness and light. “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:13–15). One of the factors of Marxism which make it so dangerous is it’s denial of the existence of God, which it replaces with the existence of government which it predicts will devolve itself out of existence. I know, I know, absurd. 

Those who don’t believe in any of this find themselves victim to another of Satan’s majesties, he blinds the minds of unbelievers. Thus he not only spreads the lies, he hides the truth. The result of which we so commonly see around us in the world today, a ridicule of the concept of righteousness. The concept of being morally correct and justifiable is seen as jocular by people who, for example place no value on the core aspects of ones given sexuality. “He plays with Barbie dolls so it’s apparent we should remove his penis. She likes to climb trees so we must perform the most absurd form of surgery to give her a penis (a weird non functional version of one) and a full course of hormone treatments.” All of this while knowing that once having gone through puberty this sexual curiosity typically comes to a natural end. In spite of the decades of women’s rights battles, we now have men competing against women in athletic competitions! What could be more absurd and repercussive? If the trend continues, I’m afraid we’ll soon find out.

All of which brings me back to the bottom line, my commie-lib friends are magnificent, caring, and loving people, so how does it come to this? In looking at human behavior regardless of religious backgrounds we all have our own natural desires and weaknesses, and it is these things that Satan uses against us. Innocent desires such as the need for food or companionship can easily be twisted into overindulgence or unhealthy relational dependence. We all have specific weaknesses which vary greatly from one person to another and which tend to appear in the form of hunger for action which the righteous would consider sinful. One of the principle aspects of our weakness, ironically, lives in our ego and pride, which above all else can easily lead us to justify feeding the fire of Hell, as it were. Even the most righteous of us live in a world of such impressions as “my church is true,” “Pope Francis gives us the word of God.” “I’m right and you’re wrong.” Along with the simple truth that agnosticism or even atheism are also religions just as potent as whatever faith one choses.

So, it all boils down to a trait I’m lacking, tolerance. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34). “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18). “And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:39). Our hope boils down to faith in our reward. So, no matter how bizarre it may seem there is purpose in our divide. Political differences bring out the best and the worst in us. Perhaps an exercise in utilizing his advice, “quick to listen,” and “slow to speak.” “But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: ‘Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.’” 

Thus the answer is not hatred nor belittlement, it is conversion. Which brings to mind an experience from fifty years ago. A time at which my political ideology was yet to become a serious consideration. I’d recently heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio (another marvelous story) who had introduced me ideologically to one of his principle inspirations, William F. Buckley, Jr. Shortly after that, I heard Buckley was going to give a presentation at U.S.U. which I attended. His presentation was amazing and miles away from what I expected; such as his opposition to the drug war! After his presentation he did a question and answer session with the students. This was where my eyes were opened. The student would ask a question and Buckley would ponder it with obvious interest and say something like, “I see your point, but,” and here he would give a thoroughly grounded and unemotional response which made the student’s proposal look completely absurd, and this he did without being offensive in any way. I don’t know how this affected others there, but for me this, combined with the absolutely inhumane treatment I’d seen directed at veterans returning from Vietnam, resulted in an absolute conversion to conservatism which has been amplified by everything I’ve witnessed in the political and ideological world ever since.

As a natural born rebel and an outlaw, both ideologically and genetically, tolerance is not an aspect of my nature.

The Mirror’s Verdict (Author Unknown)

I stand before the mirror, a judge most stern,
Scrutinizing every flaw, every turn.
The reflection stares back, a stranger’s face,
Searching for beauty, for a hint of grace.
Society’s standards loom large and tall,
A mountain to climb, an impossible wall.
But in this glass, I seek a kinder view,
A glimpse of the self that I know is true.
Beyond the surface, beneath the skin,
Lies a spirit yearning to be let in.
Acceptance whispers, a gentle breeze,
“Embrace your uniqueness, set yourself free.”
So I reach out, touch the cool reflection,
And begin the journey of self-connection.
For in this struggle, this daily fight,
I’ll learn to see my own inner light.
