The Reincarnation of the Spirit |
Karl Marx wrote about the war between the classes. The have and have not. There's nothing new about riots. The Romans dealt with zealots with the sword and crucifixion. Jesus was crucified between two thieves. He was condemned for sedition. So the news is full of violent people acting on impulse. But, some of the protest after the crime is much more violent. I have been angered, but a lifetime of illnesses and beatings has cooled my impulse to act out. I observe. I was the kid who watched the other kids play in gym. I had a doctor's note. I observed fist fights and the following suspension. And I watch riots and the following curfews and increase in police searches. Sometimes the National Guard is activated to stop looting. The lawless leads to more restrictions on personal liberty. What good can from this? My main objection to Jesus and his Gospel is the passiveness. What would Jesus do about the NAZI conquest of Europe in WWII? What would Jesus do to stop ISIS? He would pray for peace and his persecutors. I cannot tolerate forgiving cruelty and brutality. The Romans would kill me. I don't know what to do about ISIS other than kill it. Fanatics can't be reasoned with. Sometimes I think Rap music is encouraging hate crimes. But, is it reflecting the frustration and injustice of the streets? I think all the Satanic symbols are cute in Miley Cirus and Madonna and Lady Ga Ga music. There is a Devil in all of us. But this silliness is about selling albums or CDs. I dare them to do a nude concert to a Black Mass. The Devil will come out every orifice ... Picture Myle Sirus naked in concert, with projectile poop. That can happen during a demonic possession .. That's entertainment.. Maybe. Jesus would not approve of any of this Rock&Roll. He asked his disciples to be eunuchs.. (9)(9) (9) |
