James 5:5


You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. - James 5:5

Oddly enough, and quite frighteningly at that, Christians see this line from James, NOT as an example of the "responsibility" of stewarding the earth, as was charged by God to Adam and Eve, which we have decided can only be done by making ourselves as comfortable as possible.

No, Christians see it, like the Hebrews in the Old Testament saw it, as a call to slaughter anyone who supports gay marriage, or anything else "they" (the rabid Christians) say is "against the will of God!"


For the Christian, and even many Muslims, the only reason the world seems more and more like the days of Noah or Moses (which looks exactly like the Book of Revelations) with an increase in all of the biblical plagues and famines recorded, and with anyone warning of "a great flood" being ignored and slandered (by Christians, ironically enough) like Noah, is never EVER because of humanity's collective "self-indulgence." 

No, never!

Never mind that such "self indulgence" is leaching all of the resources out of the earth, like human vampires drinking the blood of Christ every week, which only convinces them that we can all destroy the planet because they will live forever - like a pack of vampires! - in heaven.

 And we do this,  by using ever greater technology to leach the planet of every resource it has, even though our technology for doing so is always lagging far behind what the bible condemns as the "love of money," but which Christians everywhere worship as "the profit motive."  Joel Olsteen, in other words, is our new Jesus.

And of course, to the Christian, the only person we should distrust is the "atheist" or the "liberal" who claims that maybe - just MAYBE! - we should consider an alternative to destroying our planet, which is only contributing so much war and suffering to humanity, rather than allow it all to simply 'fatten' the wealthiest wallets on the planet.  


Never mind that we have poisoned the oceans with pollution while emptying it of life by over fishing, and that we have been the direct cause of the greatest level of species extinction on the planet since the age of the dinosaurs. 

No! It's none of that. It's not us collectively that the line above is referring to.

It's gay marriage and anyone who supports it. 

Obviously.

Why Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...
