A Tale of Three Deities

If you’re a Christian trying to figure out your relationship with God, you have one written resource that every other Christian will tell you is the only reference you can turn to in order to find the answers you seek: the Holy Bible. The only problem with this resource is it is rife with riddles, inconsistencies — wampeters, foma, granfalloons — and out-right contradictions.

When it comes to the truth, there’s only one thing that everyone seems to agree on that makes the truth what it is.

The Truth never contradicts itself. There cannot be two different versions of the Truth. It’s that simple. Isn’t it?

* * * *

Researching what is written in the Bible is impossible because the Bible doesn’t cite any outside sources to verify its claims. The Bible is the source that everyone else turns to when they have questions about the Christian God.

The Bible makes hundreds of statement about what God is. There are a handful of qualities –sometimes more, sometimes less — but every Christian on this planet would have to agree that all of the following qualities are needed to truly define their God:

God is All-Knowing and All-Powerful. God is eternal; He always was, and He always will be. God never changes. And, most importantly, God is Love.

How did I do? Is there any Christian in the world that doesn’t agree with this list? I’m sure I could always add more stuff, but do any of those five qualities need to be removed? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

* * * *

I’d like to state for the record that I have no deep seated grudge or grudges against the Christian faith. They’re not any deeper than the issues I have with every other organized religion on this planet. So there’s that.

I’d have to label myself as some sort Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and the King of Heaven and Earth. That qualifies, doesn’t it? I even have several Christian friends! I’ll find out just how forgiving they really are if any of them ever read this.

If I had to clarify this further, I’d classify myself as a Christian capable of independent thought. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds. It’s maybe two steps up from being a dog that can see the rainbow.

I’m not writing this out of spite, or some kind of cosmic revenge. It’s not personal, it’s just business. I’m writing this because I have never experienced anything quite like this before, ever. And I’ve seen a lots of weird stuff, kid. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like unto this before. And it’s not like these kinds of thoughts hit me every day. I’m a guy, so there’s that.

And then this occurred to me, If I haven’t heard of this, I wonder if anyone else has? Let’s find out.

That’s why I’m writing. This might be something everyone needs to know.

* * * *

If you’ve ever tried to make sense of the Bible, you know there are far more questions that will arise from that search than answers. And if you have the unmitigated audacity to question any religious authority about the obvious flaws in their holy of holies, you might receive an answer like unto this, The Bible interprets itself. There’s a reason why they say this. They have no fucking idea how to explain all of the inconsistencies in the Bible either.

They might add, kindly, with a knowing chuckle, that God, and almost everything associated with Him, is a mystery. And if you know anything about religious mysteries, you know they will never be solved. However, if you want to be a good little Christian, all you have to do is simply have faith, and believe.

That’s what religion is all about, my man! Hope, faith and belief. Yeah, we know it’s not an adequate answer for anyone with serious questions, but it’s the only answer we have, and we tell it to everybody! Take a look at those nice people over here. That’s what we told them, and they don’t seem to have any problems with it.

And if that isn’t good enough for you, just remember that your immortal soul may burn in Hell for the rest of eternity for your affrontery and disbelief.

Oh, and every Sunday morning we have a pancake breakfast sponsored by our Women’s Group. You’re not going to want to miss that!

Religious officials in the Christian Church have been telling the people that God is simply too advanced, too complicated for us to understand, for centuries. And even if they tried to explain it to us — something they will never do — we still wouldn’t understand the explanation because we are just too fucking stupid to understand the complexities and mysteries of God.

Newsflash! Organized religion isn’t about understanding God. Religion is all about control. If you didn’t catch that the first time, don’t worry. I’ll probably say again. They, the members of the clergy, are some of the greatest minds in all of Religion. If the masters can’t understand God themselves, there’s no way in hell they can say anything to increase our level of comprehension.

* * * *

Believe it or not, the Bible, and God, don’t have to be huge pains in the ass for us to understand anymore. God is actually very easily understood if you can apply two simple tools when you’re digging for the truth: Logic and common sense.

And if you’re thinking logic and religion? Does that work? Is that even a Thing?

If it isn’t, it’s about to become one.

If you don’t understand how these tools work, allow me to demonstrate. If an explanation about something doesn’t make any sense to you, there’s a good chance the explanation is bullshit. See how easy that was?

As it turns out, Star Trek was right.

* * * *

If you’re thinking that I might seem a little concrete in my thinking, thank you, but I am aware. I’d argue that I’m not so much concrete as I am laser focused. There’s a big difference in the way those two minds work.

* * * *

God never changes. God is a constant source of Love. These are the primary standards one must use in order to determine the truth of the stories about God in the Bible. They’re the standards the Christian Church itself is sworn to uphold, and if they’re not then that needs to change.

These two qualities are the most useful when it comes to determining the Truth of God, and that’s also a very apt description for what God is. The ironic part of this is the Bible actually does interpret itself when you examine it with logic and common sense.

Check.

It’s too bad that no preeminent Christian leader ever thought about doing this before I did… If even one of them had done their fucking job and had applied their own standards to determine the truth when they were creating their Bible, none of us would be in the untenable positions we are all about to find ourselves facing.

Yeah, that does piss me off a little.

The Truth never contradicts itself. God never changes. God is Love. They are all significant qualities, and they’ve all weathered the tests of time. Therefore, using those qualifiers, when you compare the God of the Old Testament against the God of the New Testament, all kinds of red lights start flashing, and sirens start blaring.

Check.

Consider this: there are two versions of God the Father in the Bible — does anyone else see this? That’s not even fucking possible for God to do according to the Christians’ own definition of their God.

One of these versions cannot be true.

And, mate.

See? There’s your simple explanation, interpreted from the Bible by the Bible itself. Too bad it puts the Bible in such an unflattering light though… There simply cannot be two different versions of One eternal, constant God of Love who always was, and always will be — there cannot be two true versions of the One True God.

Not in Heaven. Not on Earth. And sure as hell, not in the Bible.

Heyheyheyhey there now. HEY! You stop right there–

No. You stop. Sit back down. And listen. Y’all have had your time at the pulpit. This time, I’m getting mine. If you want to respond to this, write a rebuttal. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say.

* * * *

There’s no other logical conclusion, believe me, I’ve looked around. The Bible, and its version of the God of the Old Testament, is not just incorrect and corrupted, it was intentionally written to falsely portray God, the One True God — the only God that matters.

Atheists are at least smart enough, and honest enough, to openly state that the Bible is pure nonsense to them. I’ll give them massive respect for that. Say what you will about atheists, those motherfuckers know how to think. And in that regard they are smarter than every deeply devout God-fearing Christian currently alive. And every other member of every other religion, too.

I should at least try to be an equal opportunity offender, don’t you think?. Why fight one war against one foe when I can piss of everyone and get this over with quickly.

We’ve been traveling aimlessly down the wrong roads for too goddamn long. This has got to stop. We’ve been lost for too long.

It’s for us to find our way home again.

* * * *

Ask any Christian you happen to see, Who wrote the Bible? You’ll probably hear something like unto this: The Bible was written by men, but those men were inspired by God to write the things they wrote.

The kindest thing I can say in the defense of the inspired men that wrote and amassed the stories in the Bible is they might have made an innocent mistake. It could have happened just like that. Oops! But instead of doing the right thing and correcting their error, they apparently decided it was just easier to elaborate on it. A lot.

White-Out hadn’t been invented yet… so there’s that.

What appears to be much more likely, as far as I’m concerned, is that the writers and creators of the Bible deliberately and intentionally misrepresented, slandered and defamed the character of the God of the New Testament by turning Him into the most psychotic version of a loving God anyone has ever imagined as God in the Old Testament.

Based on what we know about God being a constant entity of Love, this God cannot, and does not, exist.

This god is a complete and total fabrication by the creators of the Bible. Whether these stories previously existed and they borrowed them, or whether the inspired writers created them all by themselves, these stories appear to have been intentionally written and amassed in the Bible to discredit, not glorify God.

The earliest Christians apparently decided to make God into their scapegoat, and blamed God not only for their mistakes — but additionally — many of their, what, personal problems, too?? And this is the God that they claimed to love and serve!?! Those motherfuckers had some balls! And if I say I got this idea from reading The DaVinci Code, I probably can’t be sued.

That’s one possible version of what happened. I’m sure there are hundreds of other possibilities that will sound just as probable. Now the question is, do you have an open mind? Are you capable of listening to possibilities that you’ve never imagined? Do you ever dream you can fly?

Don’t tell anyone I told you this, but that’s what this is all about.

* * * *

I used to believe what I was told to believe by the Christian Church because I once wanted to be a good little Christian. Just like everybody else. Especially that cute blonde in the blue sweater… Way back then, one of the members of my church said the Bible was an anagram that stood for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

Yeah, it is pretty catchy, isn’t it.

Just in cases you haven’t noticed, I’m no longer interested in being a good little Christian. The only thing I’m interested in is discovering the truth and telling as many people as I can about what I’ve discovered. So I invented a new anagram for the Bible. Biggest Intentional Book of Lies Ever.

It’s going to take awhile before that starts trending…

* * * *

Why the fuck would the writers of the Bible deliberately mislead the people they were supposed to be protecting and saving? And how could God allow such a disgusting act like this to happen, right? I mean I just can’t even! We’re talking about the Bible here, not Green Eggs and Ham! How, how could God allow this to happen?!?

He’s All-Powerful! He parted the Red Sea! He kicked fucking King Tut’s ass! He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone! He even magically knocked up that bitch of a slut so she could become the mother of His son!

* * * *

That actually is a good question. If I were interested in anything except discovering the truth, I might ask God to answer it someday. Here’s a better question: How did the greatest lie ever told become transformed into the greatest truth ever heard?

* * * *

Just in cases you were wondering, I don’t have any proof about my assertion that the Bible was purposefully bent and distorted away from the original message of Jesus. I don’t have any ancient relics that I dug up when I was working in the gardens here at the Chula Vista Resort and Spa that say, Hahaha! April Fuckin’ Fool’s, bitches! Man, did we ever pull the wool over all y’all’s eyes with that Bible thing, or what! Ha-HA!! in Aramaic, probably.

If it’s proof you want, go ask the Vatican. They have a couple of million tons of ancient documents in their Library. They collect and save EVERYTHING, and they never throw anything away or try to destroy anything they find.

Waste not…

The Vatican even has an archive called The Secret Archive. They’re so fucking arrogant in their power now they don’t care if people know they keep massive amounts of dark secrets openly hidden. The only thing you need to know is you will never know any of the shit they’ve got locked up, overtly stashed away in their private vaults. And neither will anyone else.

* * * *

If anyone has other views or opinions on this matter, please feel free to comment, somewhere. I’m not sure you can comment on this site though. I haven’t been able to retrieve any comments for months, so, good luck with that.

I’m presenting ideas that have all probably been uttered by someone before me. I’m just putting them in order so they make sense. Well, sense to me.

And if there’s anything that resonates within you as you read this, share it someone, anyone. Everyone.

* * * *

Ask anyone you happen to see that knows anything about the Vatican and they will tell you this: The Vatican doesn’t exist for the sake of religion. The Vatican exists for the sake of control. And when it comes to religious control, it’s evidently much easier to control people through intimidation and fear than it is to control them through patience and understanding.

There’s that control theme reemerging.

As for why God allowed this to happen to the Bible — the holiest book ever written! — the story of His life — I don’t know why He allowed it to happen either. He didn’t tell me what His rationale was. But He was the whistleblower on the Bible though. You need to know that.

* * * *

Religion, as you may have just realized, has nothing to do with the worship of God. Religion is all about controlling the people that worship God. Especially women, those meddlesome cunts. The Church has always been out of step when it comes to the roles of women. There’s a reason for that. It was always their plan.

God does not discriminate against the sexes. Both sexes, male and female, have similar but subtly different roles to play in the fulfillment of God’s Purpose and His Will.

Surprise!

The Christian Church — with all of its’ various divisions and sects — is far more than a business. It’s far more than even a mere corporation. The Church is a goddamn empire. No one knows what the exact value or worth of the properties, works of art, and other miscellaneous holdings of the Vatican, in specific; or the even greater value of all the assets of the non-Catholic churches in Christianity, in general.

If you don’t think the people running the Vatican during the time of the creation of the Bible weren’t ruthless enough to protect their vast riches and realms, you haven’t been paying attention —

Excuse me, time out! I’m trying to understand what you’re saying, but this goes against the grain of pretty much everything I believe! I’m still trying to sort out that whole Old Testament thing! You gotta help me out here, man. You gotta give something I can believe. The New Testament — that’s still good, isn’t it?

Fair enough. Jesus said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”

That, also, my purpose.

The Bible isn’t completely true, but it’s not all lies either. The writers of Bible knew there had to be just enough kernels of truth in their texts to make all of the lies they fabricated sound remotely plausible. And that’s all they needed. All they had to do was sell enough little lies, and eventually no one would complain about the big ones. It works every time!

But why tell lies in the first place? What’s the purpose of a lie? Yes. We tell lies to deceive.

With this lie, the writers and creators of the Bible were able to create the possible reality of a distant, aloof, bad-tempered God that no one in their right mind could ever trust, much less accept. Or truly worship. And that’s all they needed, just that little glitch in the matrix.

By the way, just in cases you haven’t noticed — it worked.

* * * *

But okay, let’s take a look at the New Testament.

In this series of stories we are introduced to a man named Jesus of Nazareth. Ask any Christian you happen to see why Jesus was born and lived, and you’ll hear something like unto this: Jesus was the Son of God who came earth, and died to save us from our sins. And probably some other stuff, too.

Amen.

According to popular Christian belief, Jesus was God, the Word of God, who came to earth in the form of a man. Because Jesus was God, he was born without sin — unlike the rest of us — and as a man he was executed for our sins, somehow saving us from our sins, even though we all are still apparently drenched with, and drowning in, sin. And therefore, we are still in dire need of salvation (???) I think that’s close.

Oh, and his mom was also without sin because she was a single pregnant mother-to-be… who was still a virgin that had never had sex with a man before, not even that one time at band camp… Wink-wink. Nudge-nudge.

* * * *

In any circumstances other than religion, or science fiction/fantasy, is this a story that anyone would describe as believable? If your answer is anything but no, you should probably leave now.

Look, when this story of Jesus and his immaculate conception was first concocted, and preached — it was met with the same amount of incredulity and disbelief that you might be experiencing at this precise moment.

* * * *

You expect me to believe this… crap?

Yes, we do. And we’ve come up with a handy little plan to help you with that. We’ve tested it out, and the preliminary results look promising. This is how it works: That sure is nice eternal soul you have there. It’d be a shame if anything were happen to it, don’t you agree?

* * * *

Ask any Religion you happen to see what they do for a living, and you’ll probably hear something about salvation and saving souls. That’s what they tell us they do, but the only way the Church can save you is if you agree to believe what they tell you to believe.

Or your soul could burn in Hell for all eternity…

You don’t have to agree everything right now. Take all the time you need. Oh, hey, wait a minute… It just occurred to us that you don’t have to wait until you are dead to feel the flames of Hell. We can arrange a little demonstration for you right here. Right… now.

If you’re a Christian and you’re still reading this, Good job! And thank you. But there’s a part of you that no doubt wants to argue, Well, that might have been how the Church did things back in the Dark Ages, but the church doesn’t have to do that anymore because all Christians know what to believe now, and it’s the truth!

You’re right, young Christian defender of the Faith. That’s exactly the point. The Church doesn’t have to use those Inquisition tactics anymore.

They’ve already accomplished everything the Church needed them to.

* * * *

Okay. So the holiest book in all of literature isn’t the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about God, and maybe it’s not even so holy anymore. But now what? Is there any truth, any real Truth out there?

Yes, there is. I could tell you what God has revealed during our conversations while I water the gardens here at the resort.

I am merely a man, and human, just like all of the rest of you. My ideas may or may not have been inspired by God — I’ll leave that for someone else to decide. But consider this: At the very least, It’s possible that I might be more inspired by God than the men that wrote and created the Bible appear to have been.

At the very least, my version of what happened actually makes some sense, maybe, but it definitely makes more sense than the bullshit story that every Christian has been told they have to believe.

If you want to continue this journey, you have to be able to walk through this door with me with an open mind. If you really want to know the truth about God, the Universe, and Everything — it’s the only tool you’ll need,

* * * *

This is what I now know and understand about God: The God I have come to understand is entirely knowable. Science is the Form of God. Mathematics is His Function. The substance of God is the nature of God, and that’s why He cannot change. God is the foundation upon which all of Creation is built.

God is a Being of pure energy: sentient energy. His consciousness fills the Universe and everything in it — from the smallest subatomic particle in the quantum universe to the tallest trees in this physical universe. His Will orients and directs all things. God exists in every thing, and He especially exists inside of each and every one of us — whether we acknowledge His presence or not.

God exists everywhere and inside of every thing — but God can only live and express Himself fully inside of us. Human beings. Whether you believe in God or not, God exists. But if you do believe, then God can live inside your heart. I literally fucking mean that in the most literal fucking way it can be taken.

This is the reason for our existence. This is our purpose in God’s plan. This is the reason why we were created in the image of God. We are the only creatures in the entire universe in which God can live, and through which He can express Himself perfectly. For that reason, and for that reason alone, we humans are the most significant creation of all of God’s Creations.

Who knew, right?

Red, yellow, white, black, or brown — the color of your skin doesn’t matter — not to God. If you are human, you can become a Temple of the Holy Spirit of the Living God, no previous work experience necessary.

* * * *

God is God. He’s not afraid to be scrutinized. He welcomes it. God actually wants us to think about Him; to question anything and everything we don’t understand about Him, and to talk directly to Him about any of our individual, or even collective concerns. God has an answer for everything. And by everything, I mean every fucking thing.

If God tells us not to be afraid because He is with us, where would you get the idea that God would be afraid of anything we might want to ask him? He’s All-Knowing, is He not? You think you’re going to scare God with a pop quiz? He already knows all the answers about everything, duh.

God wants to share His Wisdom with us. Why wouldn’t He? We are His Children and His Favorite Creation, are we not? That’s why we’re here. To complete our individual relationships with God, then act in perfect cooperation with everyone around us.

Why else do you think you have a brain? And I am so proud of myself for not saying fucking brain right there! But that’s what it’s for, isn’t it? You think with your brain, right? Have you ever met a smart person that doesn’t want to share all of their brainiac wisdom with you, and everyone else — the annoying know-it-all bastards that they are.

God isn’t any different when it comes to His knowledge, except God actually knows what He’s talking about all of the time. He’ll only drop in to chat with you when you’re ready for Him, God is actually very polite. And God will never tell you anything just because He thinks it’s what you want to hear. God is what He is.

We don’t get to pick the qualities we want in our God.

I want a God that loves me. And other people like me. But not homosexuals. They’re icky.

God picked the qualities we have because those are the qualities that God wants, and even needs in us — it’s not the other way around. We are the perfect vessels for God to live in, and we were designed to express all of the qualities of God Himself.

Here’s a kernel of truth that was edited out of the Bible texts : God’s consciousness can be controlled and directed by anyone that knows God. Here’s an example all of you should be able to grasp: God is, literally, the Force.

Yes, Luke. That Force!

* * * *

I’ve used this analogy before. You’re not going to believe this, but I’ve written a lots of stuff about God in this blog. If you don’t have anything better to do, you could read some of it. You never know where you might discover a kernel of truth… I’ve talked about three Gods in the Bible in this post, but there’s a fourth God: the Holy Spirit. I’ve written about him in this blog, too, so you can look him up in my archives if you don’t have anything better to do.

Some of the stuff I’ve written is seriously funny. Well, I think it is. So there’s that.

* * * *

Here’s another kernel of truth that the creators of the Bible almost got right. This is one mistake that may not have been an intentional misdirection. God has a name. In the Book of Exodus, Moses is talking to God when God had taken on the form of a burning bush. Moses asks God what His name is, and God replies, “I am that I am.” an answer I always thought was the stupidest thing anyone could say in that situation.

This is what God really said:

” I AM that. I AM.”

It’s true. Punctuation matters.

* * * *

This is what I know and understand about Jesus: Jesus was a man. More importantly, Jesus was a guy! He was a guy like any other guy you’ve ever known, probably, except for this: Jesus was the first guy that figured out how to communicate with God the Father on an interpersonal level. Jesus was the first person to talk to God clearly enough to figure out what God wants from us — what God needs from us.

Jesus was the first person to recover that knowledge since the Fall. Or so it is said, by some.

Jesus was faithful and true in his service to God, and was bestowed the honors that made him not only God, but the King of Heaven and Earth as well.

It’s truly unfortunate that that part of the story of Jesus was mostly edited out of the Bible…

But this is what the message and ministry of Jesus Christ was all about! That’s why Jesus lived his life the way he did — to set an example that the rest of us could follow when we finally figure out what the hell he was talking about.

Jesus is the the first person that God the Father — the Creator God of Heaven and Earth — could truly express at least part of His vast consciousness through. Jesus not only knew God, he also knew that he was one with God. If you’re one with something, that’s pretty much what you’ve become, isn’t it?

Do you have any idea of the significance of that statement? Jesus. A man of flesh and blood, united with God, a spiritual being of limitless knowledge and power. An eternal God of Love that never changes. We’ll never get sick, and we’ll never grow old. I think that’s from Cocoon.

But what does that even mean?

Here’s an example: God not only is what He is, He is what He does. If God does something for someone, even once — He can never stop doing it, not just for that person, but for all of us. Anything God will do for one of us, God will do for all of us.

That’s what that means.

* * * *

If Jesus, a mortal man from Nazareth, could become a child of God, and be one with God, then so can every other human being. You. Me. That cute girl you see on the bus on your way to work. The homeless guy you like because he says funny things that make you laugh when he’s panhandling.

This — THIS — is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God…”

All we have to do to exemplify being one with God is this: Love God. And be good to one another. It’s not like we don’t have any idea how to do that. All we have to do is follow the example of Jesus: To love God. To love one another. To forgive anyone in need of forgiveness. To forgive someone even when they don’t care if they’ve been forgiven.

To live together, in peace.

There’s a reason for this. We were designed to be the Body of God.

* * * *

Okay! That’s it.

That’s how logic and common sense work, as far as analyzing God, the Bible, and stuff goes. I don’t know how to describe the rest of my ramblings,

We’re talking about Religion here, a subject where logic and common sense aren’t commonly used because those tools of the Devil’s Workshop can only lead to trouble, mister. This is why the Church doesn’t want you to question, it doesn’t want you start looking for fucking answers — because if you actually start thinking on your own, you’ll eventually realize that the bucket of holy water they’re using to douse the flames of Hell is full of holes.

I expect there will be plenty of righteous Christian indignation because of this heretical posting. Well, if anyone ever reads it, it could happen… I suppose. I can almost hear the outcry, Someone is attacking our faith! This is exactly what every Christian has been weaponized for. To defend their belief system. To defend it even to the death.

I don’t know any Christians that wouldn’t be proud to die for their God, whichever one it is they’ve chosen to be their God. To be fair, it’s not just Christians. Every religion has conditioned their followers to circle the wagons and stand up against anyone that questions the veracity of their beliefs.

If you’re a Christian, and you still happen to be reading this…trash — have you considered that now might be a good time to reconsider what you believe to be the truth? Or does the prospect of having to admit that you were not only lied to — but that you sincerely believed the lie — does that daunt you too much to even consider the possibility of reconsidering?

I’m not saying these things to make fun of Christians for being gullible enough to believe a set of cleverly orchestrated lies, I’m saying this to warn them that they have been deceived.

See? Nothing personal, it’s just business.

* * * *

One of the scenarios outlined in the Book of Revelation regarding the End of Times is the emergence of false religion. The True Faith will come under attack. There’s going to be a Great Tribulation, an Antichrist, a False Prophet, and woes that will befall the planet times three.

If you’ve been paying attention, false religion doesn’t have to arise out of the abyss anymore. It’s already fucking here, dude.

How far away can the rest of the scenario be now?

If you’re looking at me to answer this, I don’t know. But I know the clock has always been ticking, and eventually that alarm is going to go off. I’ve already stated that I believe the End of this Age is upon us. I don’t expect many people to believe what I’ve said. Why should they? I’m an old retired guy living out his retirement in the Middle of Nowhere, Jalisco, Mexico who golfs poorly, waters gardens passionately, and plays with kit-tens often.

I can’t say for certain that any of the things I’m saying are true: they could be true, or I could be completely off the rails. I have no idea why God likes to talk to me. But He does.

I’m cannot tell you where it is this is going or what is going to happen. What I can tell you is this: I am the guy that’s willing to fuck around enough to find out.

* * * *

That was fun, wasn’t it? Maybe next time we’ll talk about things that are little more down to earth. Like UFO’s or something.

The Last Crusade

Is it just me, or does anyone else look at recent world events and scratch their head, then mutter to themself, “What the fuck?”

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, there’s probably some sort of excrement hitting some type of air circulating device that is affecting your life negatively in some manner. One might be tempted to think that the whole world has gone crazy, except the crazy part isn’t new. It’s always been crazy. It’s just crazier than usual lately. And the pandemic has only increased its pace.

Perhaps the craziest place in the world right now is the United States of America. A cultural conflict has been boiling there for the last several years. Some people might look at it as a political struggle. But closer to the truth, this is a religious battle that’s being played out in a political arena.

I call it the Last Crusade.

* * * *

If you don’t remember history, the Crusades were Holy Wars. They were military campaigns sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church to expand the realm of Christianity; to regain the Holy Land, and free it from Islamic rule. The Crusades refers to the nine major Christian invasions of the Middle East that lasted from 1095 to 1272.

If you’re suddenly interested in knowing more about how religious wars have wreaked havoc upon the world you can look it up on The Google.

The original crusades were Medieval Christian armies fighting Muslim armies sword to sword and hand to hand, you know, the typical blood and gore everywhere kind of affairs that humans are so good at.

This crusade is essentially Christian v. Christian. The battles, so far, have mostly been a war of words and defensive posturing, but these things have a way of boiling over sometimes.

Take, for instance, January 6, 2021.

Only one of these two forces has a well-equipped militia. They’re not well-regulated. They aren’t regulated at all. And for that we can all thank the American Rifle Association.

The two political parties sparring for supremacy in the US are the Democrats and the Republicans. Politically, in my opinion, the Democrats represent the People With Brains. The Republicans represent the Walmart Intelligencia. How these two sides view their country and its future are vastly different — so much so that it’s hard to believe these two groups of people actually live in the same country.

In terms of religion, the Republicans tend to be Christian Evangelical conservatives that believe everything in the Bible is true, even the parts that contradict themselves. As near as I can tell, they are Old Testament Christians — it’s a term so oxymoronic — the oxy part is so incongruous that it just becomes moronic.

There aren’t any Christians in the Old Testament. You could look it up.

These MAGA/OTC’s want to restore and maintain good old fashioned family values and morality by taking the country back to 1950’s standards. Not 1950 CE. 1950 BCE.

Ask any MAGA you happen to see how they feel about gay people. Or immigration. Or abortion. Or the COVID vaccine. Or racial supremacy.

They’re not forgiving people. And when anyone points out to them that Jesus said we’re supposed to forgive others — they’re reaction essentially is, What the fuck did he know. We don’t care what he said in that part of the Bible.

If their words don’t say it, their actions do.

They have a long list of Things We Don’t Want. As odd as this might sound, any right that isn’t constitutionally guaranteed by the Second Amendment is being attacked. You can look them up if you’re not sure what those items might be. You could even do that here. I’m a combat veteran of the First Trump War. I wrote a bunch of political stuff during the First Pandemic.

There’s only one thing they all seem to agree on about when it comes to the subject of what they do want.

Guns.

They want to be able to exercise their God-given right to keep and bear arms because this is America, goddamnit. And they don’t care how many people have to die in the process. Their God is a righteous god of hellfire and damnation. He is the angry God of the Old Testament.

* * * *

The other Christian force is pretty much just that. All of the Other Christians. These people actually try to do what Jesus said, Love God. And be good to each other. They want to be inclusive to everyone, excluding no one. They want to make the world a better place. They want peace, and most of all, they don’t want to be shot to death by people with guns.

Not anymore.

They’re probably not sure just who or what God is, but they’re hoping He’s the God Jesus talked about. The Nice God who created us, and loves us, and forgives anyone that asks Him for forgiveness — no matter what the fuck we did! The God that’s somehow going to save our sorry asses, and then, somehow, life is going to be… awesome.

The Far Out Totally Cool God of the New Testament, that’s the God the Hippie Christians are talking about.

* * * *

All of the other major religions are also present in America, as well as atheists and agnostics. They no doubt think all of this Christian drama is very ugly, stupid, and so unnecessary, but if they have to choose a side they’d probably go along with the Hippie Christians, mostly because they’re tired of living in fear that they’ll be the next victims of the next mass shooting.

An event that will be repeated soon, and repeated again, coming to a town near you any day now.

And that’s America in a nutshell at this precise moment in time. This is the Last Crusade for the hearts and minds of all Christians, not just in America, but all across the world.

I’m sure there have been many people that have speculated on the Who What Where When and Why this is happening. I’m one of them. This is one of the many things I ponder as I water the gardens here at the Chula Vista Resort and Spa.

I question God, the Universe, and Everything. And in return I receive… impressions.

Before I conclude I just want to say that I welcome any feedback about the cause of the current state of world affairs that offer alternatives to the one I’m about to propose. Anyone want Climate Change? Artificial Intelligence, anyone? Mercury in Retrograde?

The end of this Age probably isn’t as far away as you might think. Or hope.

And I know what you’re thinking — Oh shit. He’s one of them! And I would agree. I always thought those fucking guys were crazy too. I mean, none of them was ever right, so they had to be crazy. And they were losers to boot.

However…

If you believe in the Law of Averages, at the very least you’ll have to admit this: Sooner or later, someone is going to have to be right about this. You can’t be wrong about something forfuckingever.

It’s an actual Law. That, is Science.

Someday, someone is going announce, It’s the End of the World! And they’re not going to be wrong about it. Or crazy.

So, here it is. The End of this Age is coming and will soon be upon us. All of the generations that now walk the earth, from the Greatest Generation to Baby Boomers to Millennials to Gen X, Y, & Z — we will bear witness to the implosion of mankind and pretty much everything we’ve accomplished.

All because we couldn’t agree on just Who and What God really is.

If you carefully consider this for a moment, it’s not as crazy as it first sounded.

Thank you very much for your time and please come back again.

And there’s one more thing: if you thought the last two years were off the chain, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
