For the Love of God

 It is most laughable and terrible to discover that people have killed and died by the millions over differences in definitions of the word "God" - a paradoxical word that, more than any other word in the human language, is both the simplest to understand yet the most impossible to define - when even the United States Supreme Court has admitted it is incapable of defining what constitutes pornography, it just "knows it when it sees it." 

Yet unlike pornography, God remains as impossible to see as the word "God" is impossible to define. Sure, you can look at the world or the stars and imagine what you are seeing is "God," but you can just as easily imagine it to just be stuff that people imagine to be "God." And even when we chose to imagine the former, it brings us no closer to understanding how to define such a word than we understand the universe we are peering into. Like pornography,  "God" stimulates countless numbers of people to all lust for ever lasting life with their whole being. And like Pavlov's dog, what causes so many to begin salivating dopamine in their own brains for that idea of "eternal life" is simply hearing the word "God" itself being rung like a church bell.

And those who think their own definition of such a word is always the right one, however much they modify it over the course of their life, always feel the only way to save themselves from being tormented forever by the "being" to whom they affix their definition of the word "God" is to convince everyone on the planet their own definition is correct, and everyone else is wrong. 

As for everyone who disagrees with their definition, and persists in their willful devotion to the wrong definition of such a word, the "believer" of a particular branded definition of the word "God" must likewise believe they all justly deserve eternal tortures. Those torments are never anything that causes the true believer to loose a wink of sleep, of course, as long as they have saved themselves by "believing" they had the right definition all along, even if the eternally damned soul that landed on the wrong definition that led them straight to hell, and perhaps even through no fault of their own, may be their own child.

Truly, there is no greater "love" of "God" than that.

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 ...
