USA's Deadly Infection

Oh God in heaven help me, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!!!  I’ve been contemplating writing a tongue-in-cheek article about my desire to start a movement in America for the legalization of marriage between man/woman and beast.  I planned to satirize the level of perversion and absurdity our society has sunk to due to the adoption of liberal moral relativism.  Unfortunately, the freaks among us have beaten me to the punch.

There is an actual organized movement, whom I refuse to identify, that advocates human/animal mating or pairing as an alternative lifestyle.  Their motto, “Because speech is not a prerequisite for love.”  Excuse me for a moment while I puke!  This is not a joke, folks.

Here is a statement from their website:  “We may be a small minority, scorned by the majority who may consider our movement to be immoral or perhaps even twisted.” (Gee, ya think??)  “But who is truly twisted and immoral, those who yearn to live with animals as partners and love them as equal creatures, or those who violently abuse nature, raise themselves above the rest of creation and, for their perverse comfort, destroy everything and everyone around them.”

So I guess those of us who aren’t particularly turned on by the thought of bestiality, violently abuse nature, raise ourselves above the rest of creation and destroy everything/everybody around us for our perverse comfort. Yesserie Bob, I’m out there every day, kicking puppies and hanging stray kittens. Nothing I like better than a good doggie shish-ka-bob! And I skin ‘em alive too because I love to violently abuse nature.

Well, I hate to tell these wonderfully sensitive people but I AM above the rest of creation, and so is every other person on the planet!  Mankind was created in the image of God which means we are mental, relational and moral beings. We have a conscience and can reason and choose from right or wrong. We are made to love and be loved and we experience a wide range of emotions. And, unlike animals, we have a spirit which lives forever.

These deviants have yet to become a tax-deductible organization but, “We hope to become one in the very near future.”  They are not, however, without an ironic sense of humor. Their forum, “Reserves the right to remove any indecent or offensive language.”  What could they possibly consider indecent or offensive?? I am momentarily rendered speechless…

There you have it America.  The intellectual, progressive left-wing communist jerks teaching in our universities must be proud that their polluted experiment of teaching moral relativism has taken such root in our society.  I’ll buy them all a Great Dane.

What is moral relativism, you ask?  It is the philosophical theory that different moral truths hold for different people. It states that it makes no sense to ask the abstract question whether a given act is good or bad. An act may be good for one person but bad for another, or good in one cultural setting but bad in another, but can never be considered completely good or bad.

Where does mankind get his innate understanding that some things are ok and others are perverted and wicked?  Romans 2: 14-15 says, “For when Gentiles (all of us), who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them.”

In other words, God instills within every person an instinctive understanding of basic right and wrong.  For instance, even tribes in the deepest jungles of the Amazon know it is wrong to kill a person without just cause.  Their children may steal a piece of fruit or a trinket but will naturally hide it to keep from getting in trouble.

Our conscience is one of the major characteristics that separate us from the animals.  We can choose to override our baser desires to do the ‘right’ thing.

 In D.L. Adams’ article, Moral Relativism and Fall: Solzhenitsyn’s Forgotten Warning to America, he states, “Our legitimization of multiculturalism and moral relativism and acceptance of politically correct self-censorship that allows these fraudulent theories to flourish, have had disastrous results in the ongoing decline of the greatest country ever seen on this planet, the United States of America.  We do not now see our own value in comparison to other cultures and ideologies because to make such a comparison that states that we are better is considered wrong, intolerant and bigoted.”

In 1978, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a former Soviet prisoner of conscience, gave a speech at Harvard called, “A World Split Apart” in which he warned us (the West) about the coming failure of our society.  He stated that the rejection of definitive truths will lead to our decline and eventual fall because of our abandonment of the concept of evil and the rise of ‘humanism’, also known as moral relativism and post-modernism.

He stated, “Such a tilt of freedom in the direction of evil has come about gradually but it was evidently born primarily out of a humanistic and benevolent concept according to which there is no evil inherent to human nature; the world belongs to mankind and all the defects of life are caused by wrong social systems which must be corrected.”  And this was said over 30 years ago. How far we’ve fallen since then!

The attitude infecting this country of ‘I am my own god and can decide for myself what is right for me’, is as old as time, even though it sounds like it came straight from Oprah’s couch.  It is called rebellion and it is aimed against  Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth. Because He made us with free will and the sinful nature we inherited from Adam and Eve, there is something in us that doesn’t want to be told what to do. It seems all of mankind is little more than a petulant, self centered, two year old.

So, what does all this mean?  Oh boy, I’m gonna step in it big time, so get ready to be offended!

  Romans 1:18-32 states, ”For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;  who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

Hey, don’t yell at me, I’m just the messenger. God is the one who decided right from wrong and we as his little dust creatures with our little pea brain understanding (compared to His), don’t have a leg to stand on if we plan on challenging Him. After all, He is eternal. We are not.  I suppose when we design and create our own universe, then we can make the rules to suit ourselves. Until then, we would be wise to abide by the Top Ten, basic, good ‘ol Commandments. Besides, they were given to prevent all kinds of trouble we normally find ourselves in when we ignore them.

Well, now that the bestiality idea is taken, maybe I’ll write something demanding the right to sacrifice newborns in fire.  After all, in our rapidly degenerating society, who’s to say that’s wrong? Hmmm?

Veterans Day/ 11.11.11

I want to pause and sincerely honor those men and women in uniform.  Not to give empty lip service because that’s what you’re supposed to do, but to truly thank them for their service and sacrifice for this country.

They choose to leave their families for extended periods, travel to foreign lands and sometimes, put themselves in great danger.  Throughout time, they have faced loneliness, extreme conditions, horrible food, rigourous physical training and hostile enemies.

They have missed the births of their babies; missed the birthdays and school plays of their growing children and the life celebrations of friends and family. Some have even been gone during the loss of a loved one, leaving them far away from home and grieving alone.

Some have given their lives in the cause of preserving America’s freedom and way of life. Others come home broken in spirit or permanently scarred, missing limbs and suffering from memories too awful for most of us to comprehend.  The rehab continues for months and the nightmares, sometimes, for years.

We also need to consider the incredible sacrifices the families who are left behind endure.  Battling constant fear of losing their loved one. Extreme loneliness with little support from ‘civilians’ who haven’t walked in their shoes and don’t understand the pain they live with. The bittersweet sadness of the little milestones their kids achieve when Mommy or Daddy can’t be there to celebrate also. The constant uprooting and moving from place to place and holding down the fort, so to speak

Sometimes our veterans come home to families who hardly know them anymore.  They have to get acquainted with their spouse and kids again while learn to assimilate back into normal, everyday life.  At times, the pressure from trying to readjust is too much and marriages are lost as a result, breaking up the family permanently.

It bothers me greatly when people blow off holidays like Memorial Day or Veterans Day.  We need to take a few minutes to stop our never ending activity and soberly remember those around us who have faithfully served as well as those who are still away, doing their duty.

They need and deserve our prayers in so many ways.  Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your sacrifice, bravery and willingness to do what must be done to preserve freedom for the rest of us. Seriously. Thank you!

A Rape of the Heart

Do you really know who you're talking to? The Internet is an exciting and vibrant source of information, entertainment and communication but, as we’ve all heard, it also has its dark side. It’s of vital importance to exercise the utmost caution when you ‘meet’ a new friend online. The web is the perfect vehicle to prey upon the innocence of others. The number and variations of online predators staggers the imagination. Now get this...I’m NOT talking about your children. I’m warning you about online adults who target other adults. Cyberpaths. Their goals can vary from swindling you out of your money, trying to talk you into all sorts of schemes, but the vast majority is after sex and/or power, plain and simple. Oh, you wouldn’t be fooled by someone online, would you? You couldn’t possibly be stupid enough to fall for their manipulations, right? You are dead wrong! Statistics tell us that approximately 1 out of 20 people we interact with have, on some level that is destructive, sociopathic tendencies. I’m sure you’ve heard that serial killers are sociopaths, and that is true to the extreme. Naturally, there are different levels of dysfunction, just as there are different levels of say, depression. The predators I speak of are "Sociopath-Lite," for lack of a better term. These people have little to no conscience and they view other people as objects to manipulate to get what they want. Most of them are narcissists, and will use you to fulfill what is called, “narcissistic supply.” Narcissistic Supply is the term for what these people are addicted to. It is not alcohol or drugs, or even sex per se. They need your adoration, admiration, attention and time and the appetite for this supply is insatiable as they are basically emotional black holes. They suck your love and energy into themselves to try to satisfy the emptiness inside their souls. They truly are the walking dead. This emptiness is so profound and permanent they are rarely helped by any kind of therapy because they are so used to acting rather than being who they really are. They refuse to lower their guard and let others know their real personalities. Scientists are not sure exactly how this personality deformity develops. One theory is the small child suffers severe emotional neglect from the primary caretaker. Another thought is the parents worship and over indulge the child until he/she learns that he/she is superior to other people. They learned early on to mimic the kind of person the caretakers seemed to want in order to survive. In the process, they discard and despise their true selves and manufacture a false self that they present to the world. Sad? Yes, absolutely because you can never truly get to know the real person, therefore, intimate relationships are impossible. These folks are usually so full of rage that they quickly learn how to channel and use the anger in a meaningful way; the ability to expertly manipulate and ultimately emotionally injure others makes them feel superior and powerful. This way, they feel they're in control and cannot be hurt again. They turn into an abuser. A narcissist with sociopathic tendencies is a very dangerous person indeed; the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing. They are constantly on the prowl for new sources of “supply” and can sense a potential victim almost immediately, even the first time they meet the person. Let’s pause for a moment to examine the perfect victim of these monsters. Most people grow up in relatively normal homes where love, affection and truth were modeled most of the time. These future victims were taught to be courteous, trusting and compassionate and in the normal course of their lives, have personally encountered nothing untoward that would change their view of the world and the strangers they meet. They’ve heard of evil people on the news and have seen them depicted in movies but have never actually crossed paths with one. In other words, they’re sitting ducks. These victims are far from stupid or thickheaded. They should be able to basically trust in the goodness of others. They practice the golden rule and simply assume others do the same. Although they are naïve, once they encounter and comprehend the evil that truly exists “out there,” their lives are forever altered and their innocence shattered. When the narcissist/sociopath targets a victim, they immediately begin to hypnotize their prey by idealizing, overvaluing and grooming this new source of “supply.” They are gifted actors, having presented their false self for so many years, and are able to expertly simulate emotions as they “bond” with the victim. They are curious and deeply interested in this new source and begin a process of courting the victim. They are incredibly charming and present themselves to be a deep, passionate person capable of loving or of being hurt. They appear to be empathetic and caring but all of these traits are the sheep’s clothing of the narcissist. Naturally, the victim cannot help but fall head over heels in love with the mirage or false self the narcissist projects and they completely buy into the lies they are told. The narcissist’s seemingly genuine immersion and exaggerated high regard for the source is extremely alluring to the victim. It makes them feel safe, loved and admired. The 'high' a victim feels in meeting this 'soul mate' has been compared to the initial euphoria a heroin user experiences and it is just as addicting! The narcissist showers them with attention and is so convincing they’re all but impossible to resist when they are on the prowl for a source of supply. However, and this is what you must understand, once the victim is completely hooked and emotionally enmeshed, the narcissist begins to deplete them of their “supply” like a vampire drinks the blood of his victim. This begins to manifest itself by the narcissist toying and playing head games with the source. They'll deny saying certain things the victim knows for certain they said; they woo seductively and then turn cold and angry causing the source to come running to apologize for some supposed transgression. They are covertly condescending to the source while continuing to seek their opinions. They play with the source like a deep-sea fisherman reels in a sailfish and then lets the line go slack, back and forth until the fish exhausts itself. When the narcissist senses the source’s supply is threatened or nearly depleted, he abruptly loses all interest in the victim. To them, the victim no longer exists and is thrown away like a piece of trash. Of course, to be idealized one minute and totally devalued the next is utterly incomprehensible to the victim. Normal people do not treat others this way. It is a mind bending experience that leaves the victim questioning their self worth, judgment and sanity not to mention having to grapple with the extreme grief of suddenly losing what seemed to be the perfect relationship. There is a term for what a narcissist/sociopath does to his victims. It is called emotional rape. It's the systematic, deliberate abuse of a person’s highest emotions without their informed consent. The victim fully trusts the alluring false self that is presented to them and is made to feel emotions and bonding for the express purpose of being used and discarded. When they give the narcissist the privilege of looking into their soul they never dreamed that intimacy would be abused. The narcissist feels no true emotions. They are incapable. The “love” they profess for the source disappears immediately when the victim’s usefulness runs its course or when a seemingly better qualified source of supply is noticed. They are able to go their merry way without the encumbrance of guilt or remorse. Being a tender human being, the victim usually grieves and misses the relationship for quite some time. The loss is devastating and they can get very depressed, blame themselves, obsess about contacting the narcissist, feel like they’re going crazy and experience many other emotional manifestations that physical rape victims endure. The emotional roller coaster is so horrific that some victims even display symptoms of post traumatic stress syndrome. It’s shocking and disgusting how many narcissists seem to gravitate towards positions of power, i.e., the military, pastors, counselors, Bible teachers, CEO’s, school teachers, physicians, etc. Once they spot a potential source, they misuse their authority to attract and control the victim. Again, the Internet is the perfect place for these creatures to troll for sources of supply. They expertly navigate chat rooms, looking for vulnerable, lonely women. They set up websites that offer advice or counseling and present themselves as warm, caring and compassionate and seem to be extremely attractive. The narcissist/sociopath exploits and then completely rejects his victims. The most bizarre aspect of this “person” is there little to no malice involved. He views people as things to be used. The same way you and I feel neither hate nor love for a garden hose, he feels the same about the people he uses and destroys. Absolutely nothing. Beware!

Occupy Common Sense

A lot of the people demonstrating in all of the ‘Occupy’ movements have no clue what they are demonstrating against. The first group, Occupy Wall Street, have put forth their complaint against our economic system of capitalism and corporate greed.

These grandchildren of the 1960’s hippies are desperately trying to emulate the glory days of Grandma and Grandpa when they were free from responsibility and still mooching off their parents.

The current protesters grew up hearing romantic stories of how the older generation spent their days burning draft notices, wearing groovy clothes and headbands, driving their VW vans to that massive concert in the middle of a cow field, dancing topless under the influence of hallucinogenics and indulging in loads of sex with total strangers under the guise of free love. Thank God for antibiotics!

Yeah.  Good times.

Little do they know those same grandparents grew up to understand that the socialist utopia they dreamed of was completely unrealistic.  Socialism and its ugly cousin, communism has never in the history of civilization been a successful model of society. Oh, it sounds good in theory; everyone has all they need.  Or as Karl Marx put it, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”  Doesn’t that sound dreamy?

Problem is it has and will never work. Reason?  The innate laziness and greed of the human being.  Hate to tell the love children, but deep inside, people are selfish pigs that are only out for themselves.  A perfect example is Black Friday.

Have you ever gotten up at 4am the day after Thanksgiving to be one of the first in line at a store that has advertised fantastic bargains to kick off the Christmas buying season?  Those people will knife you in the back to save fifty bucks on an X-Box for their kid. There is elbowing, shoving and cursing and that is before they even open the doors! It’s just human nature. I don’t need anything bad enough to put up with that!

I have the upmost compassion for people who have lost their job, through no fault of their own or who have suffered illness or injury in which their savings are wiped out with hospital bills.  There are various scenarios where people fall on hard times and I have absolutely no problem assisting them with food or rent money or watching their kids while they go to a job interview. That is my responsibility and joy as a Christian.

However, there are thousands upon thousands of people who refuse to try to make an honest living; who have made manipulating government assistance into an art form.  I won’t get into how this is accomplished, but suffice to say some of these folks live better than the average American and I’ve seen it with my own eyes.  If they put as much brain power into succeeding at a respectable job, they might just end up owning their own company one day!

This leads me back to the Occupy movement. They are, understandably upset with the current economic downturn in this country which is making it difficult to find a good job and make a decent living.  They are also understandably incensed that taxpayers were forced to bail out the banks. 

The investments of millions of hard working Americans have shrunk to next to nothing while some of the Wall Street executives still enjoy multimillion dollar bonuses and severance packages as they walk away from these crippled financial institutions with little to no accountability to the taxpayers.

How did the economy get into this mess?  Of course, it is quite complicated, but the source seems to the bursting bubble of the real estate market.  A lot of this problem started, surprisingly, in the Carter Administration when his well meaning, left-wing socialist plan to make it possible for everyone to own a home was implemented. This is a great example of how socialism sounds good in theory but ends up being a disaster.

Back then, government officials began accusing mortgage lenders of ‘racism’ because suburban whites were being approved for loans at a higher rate than urban blacks.  The pressure on banks to make more loans to people with weak credit histories ratcheted up and they were forced to loosen their underwriting standards to comply with government demand.

In the late 1970’s, Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act that gave regulators power to punish banks that failed to meet the credit needs of low-income, minority and distressed neighborhoods. As a result, banks began issuing more high risk loans.

The two government chartered mortgage finance firms, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, along with Affirmative Action policies, forced lenders to accept welfare payments and unemployment benefits as ‘valid income sources’ to qualify for a mortgage.  You can’t make this stuff up, folks!

The housing market boomed and real estate prices and home equity began to climb to historic levels.  Halleluiah, everyone who wanted a house went out and got one, whether they could afford it or not. The left-wing was in la-la land because, at last, the good life in this country was on a more equitable plane.

 However, in 2003, economic advisors in the Bush administration saw storm clouds in the distance and began warning that the good times could not possibly last.  There were rumblings that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were cooking the books and taking too many risks with questionable lending practices which private lenders were pressured to copy.

Treasury Secretary, John Snow proposed placing Freddie and Fannie under Treasury oversight and regulating them with strict controls. The New York Times stated this would be, “The most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.”  Bush knew the last thing the taxpayers needed was to have to bail out another government entity. However, there were those who pooh-pooh’d the idea.

Ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank, one of the most outspoken liberals to ever stroll the halls of Congress, stated, “These two entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

It took until 2005 for a watered down version of Treasury Secretary Snow’s proposal to reform the mortgage giants to pass.  By then, the damage was done.  The Carter and Clinton administration’s banking regulations forced Fannie and Freddie, as well as the private sector banks to approve subprime mortgages with insane consumer lures such as zero money down, no interest for a year and/or not checking the income or employment histories of the applicants.  Brilliant idea, people, but hey…everybody had the same opportunity to own a house and that’s the important thing, right?

BOOM!  The bubble burst!

As we all know, millions of homeowners, who did not have the means to buy and had no business doing so, began to default on their loans, causing a tsunami of foreclosures.  It was bound to happen. As a result, housing prices and home equity fell sharply, new construction was stopped in its tracks, the domino effect rippled throughout the economy and stock prices tanked, bringing us to where we are today.

The Occupy protestors don’t realize their anti-capitalist, socialist dreams are the very thing that got us into this mess!!  You have to somewhat appreciate Jimmy Carter’s big heart for wanting everyone to own a home but the facts are simple. If your income is not such that you can afford a house, you have to rent housing. If that is not to your liking, get more education or training. In this wonderful country, you can work your way up to where you want to be.

BUT, no one needs to or should be force to simply give it to you.  Sarah Palin stated that the Occupiers, “say ‘Wall Street Fat Cats got a bailout so now I want one too!’” “And the correct answer is no one is entitled to a bailout. The American dream, our foundation, is about work ethic and empowerment, not entitlement.”

I wish I had an answer for our economic woes. I truly feel for those who have lost their jobs; who have struggled through college only to end up with huge student loans and no opportunity to work.  It pains me to see the 401Ks and other investments families have so carefully sacrificed for, plummet in value, leaving folks to wonder how they will ever survive retirement. It affects my family too! But I have to shake my head and smile when I listen to the nightly news, detailing how the entire world’s economies are in various stages of collapse, because I’ve got hope…

According to the Bible, these things are supposed to happen in the last days.  The growing disparity between the wealthy and the middle class and poor, plus the world’s economic problems are shaping history for a charismatic leader to appear on the world’s stage with all the answers to the planet’s woes. The antichrist will have the solutions to world-wide economic problems, the unrest in the Middle East as well as clashes between major religions.

He will initially be thought of as the Messiah but will end up being mankind’s greatest nightmare, making Hitler look like a purring kitten. It will be the worst time in human history and I wouldn’t want to be here for all the money or fame in the universe.

But I don’t have to be concerned because I, along with all those who belong to Christ, will be snatched off this earth to be safe with Him in heaven before this tyrant is revealed. The way circumstances stand, this could happen at any moment.

Christ has made a way of escape for you too. The ticket He purchased for you, signed with His blood, is yours for the asking.  I strongly advise you to look into getting one. They are free and if you want more information, leave me a comment with a way to get back to you, because if you think things in the world are bad now…honey, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

Those Kitschy Kardashians

You gotta hand it to that Kardashian clan. They have successfully parlayed disgraceful family shenanigans into obscene amounts of money and fame. What most people would consider shameful, narcissistic behavior is a lifestyle to these people and due to the general public's insatiable appetite for voyeurism, there does not seem to be an end in sight.

The name Kardashian became known in the press back in 1995 when the family patriarch, Robert, joined the 'dream team' of attorneys who defended and ultimately helped to exonerate the sociopathic killer, O.J. Simpson. That in and of itself, would have had me legally changing my name had I been a member of the family.  Robert died of esophageal cancer in 2003.

After divorcing Robert in 1990,  Mrs. Kardashian subsequently married former Olympian decathlon winner, Bruce Jenner in 1991. The children born to Robert and Kris were Kourtney, Kimberly and Khloe.  Of the three, Kim is the one whom the entire clan can thank for fame and fortune.

In February 2007, a 27 year old Kim recorded a sex tape with her boyfriend, R&B singer, Ray J. One of the famous scenes in this cinematic masterpiece, featured Ray J. urinating on her. Somehow, the tape was 'leaked' and quickly hit the internet. Vivid Entertainment paid $ 1million for the rights and released it as Kim Kardashian: Superstar.  She sued for ownership and in April 2007, she withdrew her suit and settled with Vivid for $ 5 million. Who knew selling yourself on film being used and humiliated would be so lucrative?

In October 2007, she and her family starred in the E! television series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.  An instant hit, it provided hours of fun for the little people of America who found  peeking into the lives of the rich and self-absorbed fascinating. More money, more money, more money!

In December 2007, Kim posed nude for Playboy and has since gone on to make her mark as a 'businesswoman, socialite, TV personality, model and actress.'  She co-owns a clothing boutique with her sisters and has come up with her own fragrance, a workout DVD, jewelry line, clothing line and has had guest appearances on numerous television shows. In 2010, she reached the pinnacle of human achievement by having her wax figure unveiled at Madame Tussauds.

However, something was missing in little Kimmy's life. Her sister Khloe was the first to walk down the aisle and naturally, Kim wanted to get married and have the most lavish, beautiful wedding Hollywood had ever seen. She was on the hunt for a groom and pretty much anyone with a pulse would do.

She spotted her future chump, uh...fiance, Kris Humphreys, of the New Jersey Nets, at a party and had a mutual friend arrange an introduction. It was all downhill for Humphreys from there. Immediately thrust into the garish spotlight that constantly illuminates Kim, he appeared to be a lost little puppy on her leash as their 'courtship' ended up in an obviously scripted and televised marriage proposal in May 2010, complete with a 20.5 carat diamond ring worth $ 2 million. The feigned surprise on her face when he opened the ring box served to highlight the sad fact that she still desperately needs acting lessons.

In August 2011, they married in a televised, ostentatious ceremony in L.A, accompanied by 500 guests, three custom $20K Vera Wang wedding gowns, $15 million worth of jewels (mostly borrowed), $400K worth of champagne, $750K worth of catering, all costing a total of $20 million, of which they paid nothing. In fact, it is widely rumored they made $17.9 million for allowing the cameras and advertisement of vendors. Yes, it was over the top and she looked gorgeous. No one ever said the woman wasn't stunning.

Now, 72 whole days into the honeymoon, Kim is filing for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. How would she KNOW they can't be reconciled??  Does she even know what the word means?  They spent most of their engagement on television, fighting with each other and extended family. The two have hardly been seen together since the wedding!

I'm not sure which activity is more whorish. Her nude escapades, or her foray into Holy Matrimony.  Both were produced for a large audience out of her obsessive, insatiable appetite for money, fame and admiration. Where can she possibly go from here? 

She only recently turned 31 and has pretty much done it all.  She has traveled extensively around the world, made more money than she could spend in fifty lifetimes, slept with more men than I want to visualize and is instantly recognizable anywhere she goes. I doubt her ride is over. I predict she will, very soon, either produce a tell-all book or get pregnant out of wedlock. Oh geesh, please don't reproduce!

It truly boggles the mind...ALL this simply because she put herself on exhibition in a pathetically, vulgar sex tape. She and her family have made millions and don't have enough sense to be ashamed of themselves!

I'll ask the age old question again; why do the wicked prosper?  In this day and age, the lunatics really ARE running the asylum!

Christophobia

You cannot turn on the news or read a paper these days without hearing that some person or group is outraged about something. Someone is always yammering that someone else offended them or hurt their precious little feelings by expressing an opinion they don’t agree with.

Quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of normal, average, polite society being expected to kiss the behinds of every freakish, offbeat, extremist, perverted, political nutcase.  When did it become a nearly punishable crime to offend someone??  Why is the average American expected to completely accept every opinion the main stream media and Hollywood projectile vomits our way?

Oh, I’ll have plenty to say about political correctness and its cancerous, insidious erosion of our freedom of speech in this country, but for starters, I’m gonna coin a new politically correct word.  Christophobia: The irrational fear and often violent reaction of a person against those who have given their hearts to Jesus Christ, trusting entirely on Him for the cleansing of sin and reconciliation to the Father in heaven.  Yep, Christophobia. Good one, huh?

Christophobes can be identified by their undisguised hatred and distain of true, Bible believing Christians.  They are repulsed at a knee jerk, visceral level at the gentleness, purity and unnaturally loving nature of the real Christian and feel the need to deride and mock their lifestyle and values.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m talking about the genuine Christians around the world who, more and more, are few and far between. Not the ‘purpose driven life’ or the ‘God wants you to be prosperous and rich’ or the ‘all faiths lead to God’ mega church group.  You know the players I’m talking about; the well dressed, hanging around the coffee bar between Sunday services, gossiping about who is sleeping with whom and where on earth Sister So-and-so got that awful outfit, pseudo-Christians.  The ones who act pious on Sunday and make sure everyone knows how much they gave to the building fund this week, but then act like hell  Monday through Saturday.

No, those folks actually get along just fine in their everyday lives because they are living just like everyone else.  Real Christians are the oddballs who refuse to gossip, steal office supplies, use clean, intelligent language and go home to their families every evening instead of hitting the bars with their co-workers.  They’re the strange ones who actually seem to care and offer their unselfish assistance when you are having a crisis or who listen empathetically to your broken heart.

Recently, I’ve noticed a very weird dynamic developing in the media.  Christianity is being looked down on more and more.  I’ve even heard them being labeled as ‘terrorists’, especially if they support Israel.  Black is white and up is now down! Puleeze!

Now, heaven help you if you dare correctly identify as muslim those who carry out suicide bombings against innocent civilians or who kidnap and behead on YouTube some poor schlub who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, all for their ‘god’ allah. 

Yesseree Bob, those violent, mass murdering Christians are out of control and want to take over every aspect of your lives!  Run while you can!  You never know when one of those crazy people will jump on you and hold a gun to your head if you don’t convert to their religion.  Geesh, maybe you and 3000 other people will be blown to smithereens one beautiful morning just because you don’t believe like they do. And later that day on the news, maybe you’ll see them dancing and celebrating your death and suffering in the parking lots of their churches.

I will have much more to say on the state of society in subsequent articles but for now, I am outraged that there are Christophobes roaming our streets. Maybe I’ll hold a protest and block traffic and throw garbage all over the place and hold up signs with meaningless blather and make inane statements to reporters and refuse to shower for three weeks and…and…well, you get the idea.  Or maybe I’ll simply pray for Almighty God to open their eyes to their lost and hopeless existence and their great need for Him.  Wow. How threatening.

I have every idea some fool will write a lame comment citing the Crusades, abortion bombings, hypocritical evangelists or even the Westboro ‘Baptist’ Church inbred freaks.  Don’t even go there.  I write this with a heart that is weary of being mocked, misunderstood and lumped in with those who use the precious name of Jesus to justify their selfish goals and agendas and who wouldn’t recognize the Son of God if he were standing in front of them.  If what I’ve said offends you, welcome to the club.

I can only pray the life I live and the way I treat others inspires Christophobia in the people I meet who have no use for God.  What a great honor that would be!

The Perfect Example of an Apostate Church

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy;  having their conscience seared with a hot iron.  1 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)

I am directing this article to the American church in general and having found a perfect example of the apostasy that abounds these days, I will use The New Church (General Church of the New Jerusalem) as a glaring example.

 Their website states, “The teachings are immediately practical and deeply spiritual: It is a religion to be lived not just believed.”  “The New Church is based on the teachings of the Bible as illuminated by Emmanuel Swedenborg, an 18^th century theologian and scientist.  He teaches that all people who live good lives, regardless of their religion, are welcomed into heaven.”   Well now, ain’t that just precious!

Let me first define apostasy.  It means ‘to fall away from the truth.’  An apostate is someone who once believed and then rejected the truth of God.  It is a rebellion against God because it is a rebellion against truth as found in the Word of God.   The Bible warned us that in the last days, many false teachers and prophets would rise up and pervert the truth of the gospel and these folks are a spectacular example.  This trend is very real and very dangerous!

2 Peter 2:1-3  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.  And as many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.  And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (KJV)

Let me share, from their website, the foundational beliefs of this so called ‘church’: 

God’s gift of salvation is a process of coming to love and want what the Lord wants.   We shouldn’t worry about whether we are ‘saved’.  There is no real ‘finish line’ to cross because we can never truly say we are done in this life, but God does ask that we keep trying.  Even angels in heaven strive and work to be better ‘people’ just as we do on earth.  Salvation is about God making us into angels, slowly, quietly.  God cares more about our freedom and happiness than our salvation.  The recipe for salvation is truth, love and work.  We need to know what He wants (word of God); we need to decide to do it (love), and then we need to do it (work).  The teaching of the New Church brings us the “good news” that we can choose to do what God wants, even when a part of us resists.  As we progress, He helps us want what He wants.  (These beliefs are straight off their website and most of it is word for word.)

Devotion of the week:  “The Lord never judges anyone except for good; for He desires to raise all into heaven…for the Lord is mercy itself and good itself, this can never condemn anyone; but it is the man who condemns himself, because he rejects good.”   Arcana Coelestia 2335:3          WHAT?! 

 Yes, let’s cherry pick out of God’s Holy Word what sounds pretty to our sinful nature and bypass all that yucky crucifixion and blood stuff that tells us the only way to salvation and God, is His Son’s death on the cross in our place.  Ah, so many scriptures…so little time!

First of all, I don’t know what Bible these paragons of the faith are using, but it isn’t the same one I read!  Because they have obviously missed several key points, I’ll start at the beginning.

Because of Adam and Eve’s rebellion, mankind is cursed with a sin nature that infects every person born thus we have ALL fallen short of the glory or perfect standards of God.  We are helpless to restore the perfect relationship we enjoyed with God in the Garden of Eden.  Because God is absolutely holy, he will not tolerate any sin, however small, to be in His presence.  Sin equals an automatic death sentence, so blood must be shed.  When blood is shed and death occurs, God’s holy justice is satisfied.  Nothing less will do.  

Romans 6:23 states, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  (KJV)

Leviticus 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:  for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” (KJV)

Now, a lot of people don’t like this side of God.  The ‘god’ they have fashioned in their mind would never judge or condemn anyone because he is a god of love and acceptance.  He is a namby-pamby wuss who is politically correct and doesn’t want anyone’s self-esteem to suffer, the poor little darlings. If that is how you view Almighty God, you only have half the story. He is also a God of perfect justice and wrath and NO one is allowed into His presence unless they are clean and sinless in His sight. How do you accomplish that?

Romans 5: 8-10 says, “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” (KJV)

Ephesians 2: 8-9 says, “For by grace are ye saved by faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (KJV)

So, we are cleansed from sin, justified, made perfect and acceptable to God by His gift of grace in the form of Jesus’ bloody death on the cross in our place. Get that? God’s gift.  By His grace, which is undeserved favor.  Nothing we can do, no good works or charitable giving can come close to making us perfect and acceptable to God.  In fact, in Isaiah 64:6, the Bible states, “But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are like filthy rags.”  (KJV)

If we were able to erase our sin by being kind, or giving enough money to the poor, or serving in food lines, etc., then the horrific death of the Son of God on that cross was for nothing. Think about it. Jesus agreed to leave His throne and the glory of heaven to come down here, put on skin, live among us teaching and healing then allowing Himself to be falsely accused, tried, tortured and killed in the most barbaric way possible by the very creatures He created. And, of course, to prove His triumph over death and hell, He arose from the grave. So, what a slap in the face of a Holy God for us to offer our pathetically inadequate ‘ good ‘works in place of the ultimate sacrifice, the blood of His Son! How dare any of us ever do that!

Jesus paid our death sentence for us because we could never do it ourselves. We would have just gone to hell where, even the best of us deserves to be. Now, all we have to do is admit our sin, agree that we cannot save ourselves and accept the pardon Jesus paid for by simply believing (this is called faith) He is the Son of God who died in our place.

Because of our gratitude and love for God, when we accept Christ, our hearts and attitudes are changed and we want to give the rest of our lives to serve Him and tell others how they can escape hell. This is the only purpose for the good works we do.

Let’s get back to the heretical teaching of the New Church. You will remember that they say God is changing us into angels and that even the angels already in heaven are trying to be better people.

Wrong! God is Holy, remember? Nothing imperfect can be in His presence.  Luke 9:26—“For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father’s and of the holy angels.” (KJV)  They’re already holy or they wouldn’t be in God’s presence.  And NO where in the Bible does it state that we humans will become angels when we get to heaven.

I will now directly address the ‘teachers’ of this ‘church.’

 You have taken it upon yourselves to be in spiritual authority over the people in your congregation. The people who attend your services are obviously not familiar with their Bibles and they look to you for guidance and truth.

You. Are. Teaching. Them. Lies.   And you will be accountable to an Almighty God for leading them away from the eternal life provided by the cross and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. You are hiding behind your big buildings, wonderful community outreaches, huge offerings and your appearance of Godliness but you are being used by Satan to deceive those in your care. Listen Up! You are leading them straight to HELL! Their blood is on your hands.

Jesus Himself said in Matthew 7: 15-16, 19  “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruit.” “Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” (KJV)

Of false teachers, Jesus warned in Mark 9:42, “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for  him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” (KJV)  In other words, your false teaching is causing those in your congregation to miss the “good news” of the gospel, and being drowned in the sea would be far better than the punishment that awaits you.

Oh, you’re only doing the Lord’s work?  

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7: 21-23 (KJV)   

The ONLY source for truth you can trust is the Bible, God's inspired word.

Lest anyone should be offended by my righteous indignation and call me a ‘hater’ or accuse me of judging, know that the Bible instructs Christians to call out and correct their own to prevent this kind of false teaching. If they refuse to return to the teachings of the Bible, we are to have nothing to do with them!

Welcome everyone

This blog is a constructive way for me to comment on some of the stupid, politically correct bs I see in the news everyday. And it IS bs. Complete crap most of the time.

For instance, I am dismayed at the deliberate, insidious encroachment of Islam into the USA.  Dearborn Michigan is all but lost and its population is overrun by Muslims. Now these wonderful, peace loving people wouldn't normally be a problem. However, they are running for city offices and have been trying to establish Sharia law to govern themselves. In our country.

The wonderful TV channel TLC plans to air a new series...An American Muslim.  No kidding!  The preview showed American born people in Dearborn who have converted to Islam as well as Muslims who have immigrated to this country, and their perfectly normal way of life. After all, they're, "just like any other American."  (NOT)

I hate to point this out to them, but other Americans are not commanded in the Bible to kill or enslave those around them who don't wish to become Christians. Their "Holy Book" the Koran DOES indeed command them to do this to others. If they deny this in any way, they are flat out liars. I know this because I read about half of the Koran, but due to a stong bout of nausea, had to quit.

I don't know if you heard this in the news last week, but in Seattle, at the Sea-Tac Airport, Hertz Rent-A-Car fired 26 Muslim employees who freely refused to sign an agreement that they would abide by company policy.  The policy, which applies to ALL the employees, states that they are allowed 2 ten minute breaks per 8 hours of work and can do whatever they want during that time, but they are expected to clock out and back in when the break is over.

These Muslims, who are SO very special, had the bad habit of exceeding their break time and only sporadically clocked out. They were suspended and given the option to sign the agreement to be reinstated to their positions. They refused because they said they didn't have enough time to perform their prayers as demanded by Islam. Whahhhh...sniff, sniff.

As we all know, as nauseum, they are commanded to face Mecca and pray 5 times a day. Hertz had previously gone out of their way to accomodate this 'need' by setting aside a private room for this purpose. A private room where they could pray!  But, apparently, this was not good enough for them so they took advantage of their employer's kindness and failed to observe company rules, pushy as they are.

Hmmm. I don't remember any employer of mine setting aside a private room where I could pray to God. I don't recall having the gall to demand my boss allow me to dress in whatever religious garb I felt was necessary to honor my God.

I wonder if TLC will produce a series called, An American Christian. Or An American Hindu. Or An American Buddist. Or An American satan Worshipper.     I won't hold my breath.

Islam is slowly pushing its way into American society and we are stupid and cowed enough by the loud mouthed, politically correct morons to stand by and allow this sociological cancer to spread unchecked. I refuse to keep quiet anymore.

This is MY blog and I'm gonna speak the truth that the average, hardworking American is thinking but is too intimidated to admit, and if anyone is offended then don't read any further because there is plenty more of this to come.

Oh boy, this is gonna be fun!
