These paragons of piety don’t really see everyone as equal and love-worthy
Here’s a new article, from which I’ve highlighted an example of the naked, putrid hypocrisy that the religious right-wing proudly stands for:
“Conservative groups argue that ruling against her will force artists to do work that is against their faith.”
While I thought their “faith” was in the imaginary “Jesus Christ”, and the “Love thy neighbor as thyself” he supposedly espoused and stood for, the fact is that these paragons of piety don’t really see everyone as equal and love-worthy. Their faith, in regards to those would don’t fit their cookie-cutter norm, would seem to be not unlike that of radical Islam (another “one true religion”, of course).
While it may be contemptible to try to use the law to make deep-seated prejudices appear to be matters of conscience and religious conviction, people who truly recognize and respect the essential equality of all human beings shouldn’t force the hypocrites to abide by the same conduct that true human beings revere, whether from beliefs they’ve taken on, or arising from their own consciousness within them.
While it’s a big taboo to criticize people’s religious and political beliefs, I’ve never understood…why? A lot of prejudice and violence is perpetrated in the name of both; certainly Christian and other religious violence long predates that of “godless Communism”. etc.
But it’s now increasingly popular among some self-professed Christians to not only harbor discriminatory thoughts, including anti-Semitism, but to become loud, public proponents of this ugliness, based as it is on ignorance of the facts, as Billy Meier recently explained:
Billy: … which in fact has not ceased to exist and, despite everything that has happened, still has mad and confused and crazy followers all over the world, especially NAZI groups and extreme anti-Jewish groups who don’t even know why and when Jew-hatred really arose. Hostility towards Jews originated in antiquity and was also rampant in the Middle Ages, with the roots for this coming from the Christian faith planted by early Christians. The original reason was that a hatred arose that became more and more widespread, which was based on the fact that Jmmanuel – Jesus, as he is wrongly called, although he never bore this name – was crucified, or rather that the Jews caused the crucifixion of Christ. This led to the Jews being called ‘God-killers’, persecuted and murdered, which led to the mass murder of them in the 3rd World War and cost the lives of millions of believers in the Jews. The hatred has maddeningly persisted to this day, even though not a single Jewish-believing human being was involved in the crucifixion of Jmmanuel. Jmmanuel was not crucified by any Jewish believers, but solely by Romans who truthfully executed him because he railed against their religion, the faith of ‘polytheistic universalism’. Jmmanuel taught the ‘Doctrine of Truth, Doctrine of Creation-energy, Doctrine of Life’ which was destructive to the Romans and therefore Jmmanuel was considered an enemy of the state. This is the real truth that must now be told after all, for truthfully, polytheistic universalism was the reason that the Romans were able to spread their empire over the whole of the then known world. Jmmanuel was a danger to the continued existence of the Roman religion and the expansion of the Roman Empire, which is why he was sought out, hunted down and ultimately crucified, consequently the Jews had nothing at all to do with anything. Everything from the very beginning was nothing but an evil invention of the early Christians, who freely invented everything and attributed it to the Jews, whose foremost, the high priests etc., were of course also against the teaching of Jmmanuel and hated him, complained to the supreme Roman and found a hearing, because he could blame the Jews for everything. The real reason for the persecution and crucifixion, however, was the Roman religion, which attacked Jmmanuel and rebelled against it with the teaching of truth.
But the addled-brained, popularity-and-profit-seeking celebrities who now compete for neo-Nazi stardom neither know nor care about the truth.
And isn’t it interesting how so many among the “Jews killed my lord and savior” crowd claim to have “a personal relationship” with Jesus”? Soooo, how does that work anyway? How do you have (present tense) a “personal relationship” with someone who:
- Never lived in the first place?
- Supposedly lived over 2,000 years ago?
- Has “eternal life” and can’t be killed anyway?
This is the kind of mind-numbing mumbo-jumbo that’s considered “impolite” to question, let alone laugh about.
Just as Nuts
Of course, the feigned moral superiority isn’t the exclusive domain of the religious right, the largely secular left is overflowing with self-righteousness and other peculiarities. Instead of trying to force those who don’t want to bake you a cake, or design your website, find someone else who will. As a last resort…learn how to do it yourself, snowflake.
But that’s the easy stuff. It’s the left, after all, who mutilate children for profit with their insane, mutilating, “sex reassignment surgeries”. One super-wealthy degenerate behind all this not only wants to start psychologically molesting children in kindergarten but in fact foisting the entire aberration on the whole society.
Values, anyone?
Some years ago I attended an exhibition of paintings by an artist from Iran. He was a member of the Baháʼí religion, an offshoot of Shiʿi Islam, whose members are persecuted by fundamentalist Muslims. This middle-aged artist was a very cultured, punctilious man, who was indeed visibly surprised when, after his interesting introduction about his life and work, I said to him that I didn’t respect his beliefs…and I hope he felt the same way about mine. When he regained his composure, I told him that I care much more about his expressed values and, based on his introductory words, they accorded nicely with mine.
How to love people and be at home with them
I found these words, attributed to Chief Dan George, and posted on Facebook by Darryl Niefer, to be…refreshing:

Although I’m in no way to be considered an Alex Jones ‘patriot’ . . I have recently allowed some minimal time to apprise myself on the topics he’s covered this past week. It seems clear to me, Michael, that he’d further become very vocally animated if he was to read this particular blog’s content, in particular, the Pritzker links: “But that’s the easy stuff. It’s the left, after all, who mutilate children for profit with their insane, mutilating, “sex reassignment surgeries”. One super-wealthy degenerate behind all this not only wants to start psychologically molesting children in kindergarten but in fact foisting the entire aberration on the whole society.”
If AJ hasn’t yet covered the Pritzker family, he likely will at some future point. It’s strange . . I recall that you have explained that AJ puts forth much accurate information on a range of topical coverage . . but, all along . . NEEDS to pump out the ‘by the grace of god’ / ‘god bless you’ / ‘I am god’s sentinel’ hooey!

What a primitive mess these religions are.
Salome
That’s just reminded me. I’d like to share a few extracts from a book if thats OK?;
… In the public arena, I’ve heard the Skywoman story told as a bauble of colorful “folklore.” But, even when it is misunderstood, there is power in the telling. Most of my students have never heard the origin story of this land where they were born, but when I tell them, something begins to kindle behind their eyes. Can they, can we all, understand the Skywoman story not as an artifact from the past but as instructions for the future? Can a nation of immigrants once again follow her example to become native, to make a home? Look at the legacy of poor Eve’s exile from Eden: the land shows the bruises of an abusive relationship. It’s not just land that is broken, but more importantly, our relationship to land. As Gary Nabhan has written, we can’t meaningfully proceed with healing, with restoration, without “re-story- ation.” In other words, our relationship with land cannot heal until we hear its stories. But who will tell them? In the Western tradition there is a recognized hierarchy of beings, with, of course, the human being on top—the pinnacle of evolution, the darling of Creation—and the plants at the bottom. But in Native ways of knowing, human people are often referred to as “the younger brothers of Creation.” We say that humans have the least experience with how to live and thus the most to learn—we must look to our teachers among the other species for guidance. Their wisdom is apparent in the way that they live. They teach us by example. They’ve been on the earth far longer than we have been, and have had time to figure things out. They live both above and below ground, joining Skyworld to the earth. Plants know how to make food and medicine from light and water, and then they give it away. I like to imagine that when Skywoman scattered her handful of seeds across Turtle Island, she was sowing sustenance for the body and also for the mind, emotion, and spirit: she was leaving us teachers. The plants can tell us her story; we need to learn to listen. …

… Sweetgrass belongs to Mother Earth. Sweetgrass pickers collect properly and respectfully, for their own use and the needs of their community. They return a gift to the earth and tend to the well-being of the wiingashk. The braids are given as gifts, to honor, to say thank you, to heal and to strengthen. The sweetgrass is kept in motion. When Wally gives sweetgrass to the fire, it is a gift that has passed from hand to hand, growing richer as it is honored in every exchange. That is the fundamental nature of gifts: they move, and their value increases with their passage. The fields made a gift of berries to us and we made a gift of them to our father. The more something is shared, the greater its value becomes. This is hard to grasp for societies steeped in notions of private property, where others are, by definition, excluded from sharing. Practices such as posting land against trespass, for example, are expected and accepted in a property economy but are unacceptable in an economy where land is seen as a gift to all. Lewis Hyde wonderfully illustrates this dissonance in his exploration of the “Indian giver.” This expression, used negatively today as a pejorative for someone who gives something and then wants to have it back, actually derives from a fascinating cross-cultural misinterpretation between an indigenous culture operating in a gift economy and a colonial culture predicated on the concept of private property. When gifts were given to the settlers by the Native inhabitants, the recipients understood that they were valuable and were intended to be retained. Giving them away would have been an affront. But the indigenous people understood the value of the gift to be based in reciprocity and would be affronted if the gifts did not circulate back to them. Many of our ancient teachings counsel that whatever we have been given is supposed to be given away again. From the viewpoint of a private property economy, the “gift” is deemed to be “free” because we obtain it free of charge, at no cost. But in the gift economy, gifts are not free. The essence of the gift is that it creates a set of relationships. The currency of a gift economy is, at its root, reciprocity. In Western thinking, private land is understood to be a “bundle of rights,” whereas in a gift economy property has a “bundle of responsibilities” attached. …
Braiding Sweetgrass – By Robin Wall Kimmerer. A valuable and beautiful book that would make a great gift.
Christianity suffers under a great handicap because it has become identified in the minds of all the world as a part of the social system, the industrial life, and the moral standards of Western civilization; and thus has Christianity unwittingly seemed to sponsor a society which staggers under the guilt of tolerating science without idealism, politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without restraint, knowledge without character, power without conscience, and industry without morality. The Urantia Book
This is false, like the Urantia Book itself. The ONLY thing Christianity “suffers from” is…Christianity itself, the corrupt, fabricator of delusional, mind-enslaving, lies, distortions, outright evil, etc. It didn’t do anything “unwittingly” as it was deceitful from the beginning.
Religion is a poison of the mind … Coming from a communist country, I was never into a religion, but there is something higher which we cannot grasp with our limited intellect … As we reincarnate, we have a blueprint for our life … we choose our parents, our country and our possible path to become better and higher in each life … We meet people and circumstances which leads us to our goals … Like the Urantia book lead me to the teachings of Billy Meier, or like Alex Collier let MH to the teachings of Billy … Both Phony … but somehow the universe used them with an invisible hand for one and only reason … To bring us closer to the relative truth …
This doesn’t accord with the Creational teaching:
“As we reincarnate, we have a blueprint for our life … we choose our parents, our country and our possible path to become better and higher in each life … We meet people and circumstances which leads us to our goals.”
As Billy Meier says, “Each person is the smith of their own destiny.”
While we have the benefit of information that is impulsed to/drawn from the storage banks, consciousness blocks, etc., we’re not “choosing our parents, etc.” It isn’t the people and circumstances we meet that guarantee us reaching our goals but the way in which we and they CHOOSE to proceed. Each person makes the choices that determine events and outcomes in their lives.
Also, the “universe” doesn’t “use” anyone or anything, everything proceeds according to neutral, immutable universal laws, like cause and effect, etc.
