I’m terse.

dystopianism

For some reason, I immensely enjoy reading dystopian novels. Considering the gloomy and pessimistic theme of dystopias, there is a fair possibility that my mind is somehow twisted.

Not good.

Well, at least I haven’t noticed any vastly negative side effects from obsessively filling my mind with dystopian ideals. Perhaps it is a healthy exercise to accustom oneself to evil, so that one can resist it more effectively…but then again, perhaps not.

Maybe it is just a form of brainwashing that turns one into a dystopian follower, a blind follower, slowly acclimated to evil, eventually accepting it as okay.

Perhaps an addiction to dystopia sheds some (hair?) on my mental disposition…perhaps I am just a twisted child who enjoys reading about imaginary people’s suffering…

[Oh, by the way, the purpose of dystopian writing is to act as a political text for future generations, to show them how to create effective dystopias, to pass on this most perfect society down in history for the good of all mankind.]

missing links

“I’ve found the missing link!” said one evolutionist to another.

“Really?! Is it the real thing?” his friend gaped.

“Yes, I have all the bones and everything!”

“Is it still missing?”

Insert awkward pause.

“Well, no…I guess not.”

“Too bad – I guess it can’t be the missing link then, since it isn’t missing.”

“I suppose you’re right. Bummer.”

[And that is why evolutionists will never find a missing link...not really though...there are much more logical reasons why it is impossible: mainly the absolute lack of in between fossils, of which there should be thousands to millions, and of which NONE have been found. Many fakes have been made...which just goes to show ya...]

 

Tonight I ate a culinary missing link – aside from the contradiction that I raised in the above paragraph. It was chicken covered in the lemony batter that is generally put on fish. Every bite convinced me it was fish for a few seconds…until I realized that it was chicken. Chicken-fish is so nice…

 

Another type of missing link is a cuff link, and of course I have none. Actually, I might – I had old ones in a box full of precious stones that aren’t worth much, and other trinkets. Of course, at the time when I knew I had them, I didn’t know what they were. And now, when I know what they are,  I seem to have lost them. Missing…. But no worry, for I inevitably own no jacket or blazer that can even have cuff links equipped to it.

 

And of course the only non-metaphorical missing link is a chain link! A segment of a chain that, when missing, renders the chainy properties of the chain futile. I seem to have lost all of the chain links…and consequently cannot find my chain. Oh well….

 

If you happen to be a link of some kind, and you also happen to get yourself lost, don’t worry…for a large group of scientists will come looking for you.

(When defining the majority of feminists, it is pretty clear that in their case feminism is equal to sexism. Very few stop at equality with men, just as previously persecuted minority races have not stopped with equality with their persecutors, but have demanded and received many special rights. My ranting only applies to feminists who inevitably end up lifting the female gender over the male, and become the very sexists that they abhor.)

Is it not sexist that there is an official term for “feminism” but not “masculinism”?

I mean really.

How are feminists calling males “sexist” when they are fighting a war against no opponent? An organization fighting half of a species, how pathetic, misguided, obnoxious, repugnant…forget save the whales, save the males…save them from twisted idealism and whining tirades of arrogant, spoiled, stuck up women.

How, among sections like “Climate”, “Security”, and “Development” is there a section labelled “Women”? How absurd! Is it not sexist that there isn’t one labelled “Men”?

Are not these protesters against sexism turning into the very monsters they sought to cage?

Just like minority “races” (actually cultures, for there is only the human race…though it could be correct depending on how it is defined), just like when minority races were persecuted, and eventually given equality, and shortly afterwards given MORE rights than “normal” people. As if going to the other extreme will solve the world’s problems…

Great, the sun is melting the earth as we speak…when’s the next ice age?

Obviously you don’t need an ice age to stop the planet from melting…

Obviously you don’t need to throw gifts and special rights to people to make up for prior mistakes…

Obviously you don’t need to give feminists any more thought or mention or favor or pity or anything else than other human beings (like males)…

Humans are capable of much greater good than animals…but also much greater evil, stupidity, hypocrisy…

Requiring businesses to employ a percentage of women, or a minority race, is totally absurd. In each case it is sexism, and racism. If you, as a woman or a part of a minority race, wish to be equal, wouldn’t you want to have an “even playing field” with everyone else. It is basically like asking to be put into a wheelchair and then being required to play quarterback for a football team – asking that no one will tackle you, though, for that would be unfair. It is an admission that you aren’t as good as the other players, and a request for special rights to make up for the imagined difference.

Feminism gives females an EXCUSE to be weaker, slower, worse at academics and sports. Feminism encourages females to be sexist. It creates legal weapons so that females may overcome and defeat males, rather than simply evening everything and leaving it up to them to survive for themselves.

Whenever a person sees a mistake in another and specifically obsesses with that particular mistake, usually they have the exact same problem. Someone very successful will instantly notice other’s pride, and call them out on it. Those prone to bursts of anger will get very upset when others lash out at them.

Those who are sexist will naturally accuse others of being sexist.

Feminism breaks down the walls between females and males, and then when females realize the environment that they are not innately created for, feminism gives them costly biosuits to survive the harsh conditions. The male and female sexes are DIFFERENT, and have different purposes in creating children, raising children, and have totally different emotional, mental, physical, and social capabilities. How on earth is it a bad thing that females don’t have the same power, percentage distribution, authority, ability in some areas, for males do not in other areas where females do?

Males and females are DIFFERENT.

Feminism IS sexism.

(If this post seems a little too violent in criticism for you – it is only because propaganda, brainwashing, and moral degeneration of society have slowly altered your ability to discern. It is up to you to reason through this post and judge what you think, and whether you become an advocate of true equality, or whether you sink deeper into hypocrisy is up to you.)

If you are not an electronically controlled or generated bot, bane-of-the-earth-hacker, or illiterate person -

Welcome Back!

…well, I’m actually the one that has just gotten back.

You see, I am as of -

(sock mittens)

- two days ago consumed with the task of writing an epic poem, which is taking rather long.

I assume that is the point, but one can never be too sure….

Supposedly epic poems, traditionally, have long speeches and lists, and now after subconsciously using the selfsame things say “Duh, how else can you make an obscenely long poem without resorting to superfluous listings of trees and plates and goblins and incorporating those into even longer speeches that ramble incessantly without end (by definition – of incessantly, not speech, but that also is not too certain).

Anyway, I would post some of the other random poems that I have been writing, but I really wouldn’t, so I won’t.

Just read this post for the next seventy two million adjacent days, or until I post again – whichever comes first, or in the event that days cease being predictably adjacent, then just scream.

Oh the Glory of it all is:
he came here
for the rescue of us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all

♫ (David Crowder Band – Oh The Glory Of It All)

 

The ultimate reason that God has for everything He has ever done and will do is – to give Himself glory.

This is selfish and egotistical – for a human. As an infinite and perfect being, God cannot have an inflated view of Himself – he literally IS THAT GOOD! It isn’t boasting when He wants us to glorify Him, since it is “coincidentally” the best thing for us as well – the opportunity to share in bringing such a powerful and awesome being glory.

Now, some examples of how everything can and should and is done to give God (through Jesus Christ’s death) glory – for the cross is at the epicenter of Christianity.

 

Psalm 25:7 – “Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!”

“…for the sake of your goodness…”

This is a request for forgiveness, basically, but not ultimately because the writer wants to be forgiven – though that is a large part of it – but the writer knows that the only reason that God would ever do something…the only possible motivation for God to do anything…is…for the sake of His own goodness – for His glory.

 

God created the universe – the brilliant stars and the intricate molecules – all for His glory. Not only did He create them – but he created humans – who specifically are made to want to discover and enjoy them – who are able to see them – and every step of the way He is basically saying “Now give me glory for this amazing thing I have made!”

- It isn’t egotistical. It is in both His and our best interests. It is 100% true. If God wanted anyone or anything else to get the glory…He would cease to be God. He MUST demand all the glory, for EVERYTHING, for Him to continue being who He is.

And since He cannot cease to be God, it is the most natural thing EVER for Him to demand the glory, to create a universe for the sole purpose of His glory, to allow Satan to sin, and man to sin, solely for the chance to sacrifice His Son Jesus – to bring Himself even more glory by our desperate need for Him.

 

Why do bad things happen?

- So God can get the glory. Either by using the bad to spark a good thing, or by giving someone the chance to trust in Him through a bad experience or event. Not only that – but if bad didn’t exist, neither would relative good. And we wouldn’t be able to give God any glory for how great and good and perfect He is if there wasn’t any bad to compare it to. Bad and Evil and Sin and Murder all exist to give God glory. It might seem scary and contradicting at first, but really it is one of the most freeing truths there is: EVERYTHING gives God glory, in the end. But we are only rewarded in Heaven for the things we purposefully do to give Him glory. He can get enough glory for Himself – but he gives us a chance to partake in His magnificent plan.

 

Next: Why won’t everyone go to Heaven? OR: Why does God allow people to go to Hell?

- For His glory. But how does someone’s eternal pain and separation from Him give Him glory?

Well…this is a toughie, but it can be understood. If there was no possible separation from God – no Hell – then there would be nothing “special” about Heaven – union with God – since there would be no comparison. But by allowing Man to sin in the Garden of Eden…allowing us to set our default route to Hell…He gives us the horrifying contrast between the state of being “with” God, and “without” Him. Only now can we being to fathom – with our tiny mortal perspectives – how horrible life without God is, and how amazing it is with Him…and how much this increases in eternity!

Without such a devastating option as Hell for our eternal destinies, we could not possible understand the true glory and brilliance and divinity of God – and still this 1% understanding is so so small – but how great is this insight! Without Hell and Evil we wouldn’t realize any of this – That is why the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” was so major…why it brought sin into the world…because without it “God” is the default setting. But now we get to choose, we HAVE to choose, and in doing so God is glorified. It doesn’t matter how many people go to Hell – although God wishes them to be in Heaven instead more than any of their family could possibly – even though people will go to Hell, it is still worth it to God. He gave them the choice, He is just and He cannot ignore sin without Jesus’ intervention.

I might not have said that well. I will try again: God knows how drastic and terrible Hell is and seems to us. That is why Jesus went to the cross. And on it, He took on the pain and the punishment and the suffering and the separation from God that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that has and will go to Hell will feel. Jesus (who is God) knows the pain and horribleness of Hell more than anyone that will ever go there. It seems ironic, but God (Jesus) knows separation from God (The Father) more than anyone. And because Jesus has suffered this immense and undeserved separation, God is even more than right in allowing those who reject Him on earth to go to Hell. Even if Jesus hadn’t suffered the cross, it would still have been right to let us ALL go to Hell, without any way out.

After all – He made us and therefore has the right to torture us and rip our limbs off like dolls and burn us with celestial stars. Isn’t that scary!!!!!! Thank God that He isn’t malicious towards His creation!!! Thank God that He is loving enough to redeem our mortality and give us a second chance!!!!

Thank God and give Him the GLORY!!!!

miraculous

Why is miraculous a word?

Why do we need an adjective of ‘miracle’?

Only miracles are miraculous, anyway.

 

How many other words are superfluous?

If we weren’t superfluous, then we wouldn’t need a word for it.

That would eliminate quite a few words.

Words are the communicative medium of thought.

Thought is requisite for intelligence…and intelligence is requisite for thought.

(Hmm…if we didn’t have circles, there wouldn’t be any circular reasoning….)

 

As humans we are naturally equipped with both intelligence and thought – as opposed to animals, which aren’t.

Just as intelligence and thought are inseparable, so are thought and language.

It is impossible to think something without thinking it in a language.

Or is it?

Are babies actually thinking before they learn language? Do they think, without knowing how to communicate it? Then they wouldn’t know what they are thinking…because they wouldn’t be able to communicate it to themselves….

So is thought without need of language just an impulse…an instinct?

 

Babies eat and cry and want attention – but so do animals. Thought and intelligence aren’t necessary for these basic functions.

So humans don’t actually “think” until they learn language, for language is the space in which the matter of thought must travel through.

So do babies have human intelligence before language?

Language certainly isn’t synonymous with intelligence…but they cannot exist without each other.

I suppose intelligence and thought lie dormant until language is learnt. Then they have an inhabitable realm to function in and they become active.

 

Thought and language are inseparable. They are also both innate in human beings. They must be learnt, yes, but the capacity for both is present.

The human abilities to think and reason and create language are all miraculous qualities which animals lack.

(And in the case that ‘miraculous’ does become obsolete, apply ex post facto mercies accordingly.)

rip

I love books. I absolutely LOVE books. I’m not sure about normal people, but there is some innate moral code that tells me ripping pages out of books is evil.

There is something sacrilegious about defacing a book.

Books are the holy medium through which knowledge is passed on.

Books are ancient.

Books are deeply etched into the recesses of time, just as history is etched into their pages.

Now, I am about to rip a book to shreds.

This may not be a big deal to some of you – but it is.

It is a very big deal.

Why on a random wandering star would I do something this unthinkable?

I do not wish to own it any more, for reasons that may or may not incur intergalactic wrath.

Anyway…

Rip, Tear, Gnash.

It is done.

800 pages, tens of thousands of words, years of work, painfully sharpened ideas and phrases…destroyed in moments.

This is my resolution.

I have molested the honor of the written word.

But in reality it is only a book.

I have defaced the physical in an attempt to insult the transcendent.

For nobler books, though, I respect the physical pages to honor the transcendent meaning.

R.I.P.

religion

What can possibly impact one’s life totally than religion?

Religion defines one’s worldview – the very lens through which everything else is seen and reacted to.

Religion shapes one’s ideas about reality, the universe, the innate worth of humans to various actions to fundamental beliefs.

Religion determines whether one expects to live in paradise, judgement, or not – for eternity.

Religion, I daresay, is rather important.

 

Millions have been killed because of their personal religion.

Many have done horrendous evil in the name of religion.

Many have done infinitely great things in the name of religion.

 

Some think religion is meaningless.

Some will do anything to convert others to their religion.

Some will die for their religion.

 

Religion is important.

 

Theists insist that ‘God’ exists. Atheists call them mystical and insane.

Atheists deny the existence of any form of ‘God’. Theists call them foolish and ignorant.

 

Someone must be wrong.

A good percentage of people must be wrong.

The majority of people must be wrong.

Statistically, there is a very high chance that you are wrong.

 

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay then.

But you know that you are right.

Because, if you knew you were wrong, you would change your belief ASAP.

 

So, if EVERYONE thinks that they are right, but in fact most of them are WRONG…what’s the deal?

 

And since religion is so important – you might go to hell, be reincarnated as something horribly insignificant, get absolutely no rewards in paradise, and such if you are wrong – what can be done about it?

What is the solution to this dilemma?

 

Firstly, debating and arguing and converting and insulting and convincing Does Not Work.

Each party is 100% sure they are right, and 100% sure the other is wrong.

Their only goal in the argument is to convince the other person that he or she is wrong.

Arguing about religion only gives you enemies…but doing nothing is even worse.

 

Because by doing nothing you show that you don’t care about someone enough to show them a vital truth about the universe. And that is inhumane, barbaric, rude, selfish, childish…evil.

 

So, do we start by assuming that we could very likely be wrong?

But what if I’m one million percent sure that I’m right?

What if everyone is sure…and I’m sure they are.

 

There isn’t an easy solution.

By encouraging everyone to spread religion, I am, in fact, spreading more lies than truth.

Because naturally there are more people that are believing false religions.

But they are sooooooooo dedicated to their beliefs – you could be one of them…so could I…but how do we find out?

 

Who do we ask to judge which religions are correct?

A majority vote will not work…for obvious reasons.

Divine revelation is the only way – unless you don’t believe in ‘God’ – in that case you would look for the lack of it…but in the case you did look for it – which ‘God’ would you look to? Certainly there are dozens of religions that claim divine revelation? Surely some of them must be committing sacrilegious and horrendous crimes by concocting such lies?

But how do we determine the truth?

 

Do we look for the easiest religion? The most practical? The one with the most benefits?

It doesn’t matter how good it is if it’s all a lie.

 

We need to devote ourselves to searching for the truth, accepting that we could be horribly wrong, willing to give up all of our convictions in a moment, even if the truth is hard and contradicting to what we first believed.

This is the perfect place to insert my personal beliefs, but that would detract from this logical analysis of humanity and religion – so I won’t.

 

Never let pride or humiliation prevent you from exposing the lies that you have been believing. Truth is ALWAYS worth the cost. Because lies are always exposed, they come and go, anyone can make up a lie. But Truth…Truth is infinite. Truth cannot be created or destroyed. Truth just is.

Find Truth!
