Greetings good citizen, I watched film clips from WWII on Nat. Geo last night and it only cemented my conviction that 'war is unnatural'.
While World War has become a thing of the past even a limited nuclear conflict will consume all of humanity.
Although the show that preceded it, 'One Strange Rock' revealed that had the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs been ten minutes later it would have struck deep ocean and no extinction [by asteriod] would have taken place.
One of the 'problems' with Monday Morning quarterbacking history is that Fate almost always has an 'alternative' in its hip pocket and a back-up to that up its sleeve.
While we can wonder what caused ancient man to turn his spear on either his rival or his mate, killing comes easily to man...and it's no mystery as to why. Society 'glorifies' its warriors. ['Support our Troops' anyone?]
We still, er, indulge in the death penalty as a legal means of revenge but it is a privilege the State has reserved to itself.
Like the kings before there were States.
[Gotta walk it back and you NEVER do!]
Another hidden (it still exists but it's behind closed doors, waiting to pounce.) carry-over from ancient times is WHY the kings were so 'privileged'.
It was their 'divine right'.
Yup, this is why entire nations had 'official religions' because the Kings were god's representatives on Earth. For being that representative he was granted some of god's privileges.
Walk it back children...can YOU see where this is going? Um, there can only be ONE god...put it together now.
WHY do we go to WAR? To KILL the 'INFIDEL'!
Again, glossed over for your confusion is the primary reason the WORLD rose up against Nazism...it was steeped deeply in Eugenics and based on the idea that the Tuetonics were the 'Master Race'.
It wasn't too great of a mental leap to conclude that if the Aryans won those of us not so blessed would be herded into camps for extermination.
Sound familiar? You can't see it but its still there, the message woven beneath evangelical conservatism.
We are the 'One True Faith' and we shall be rewarded above all others! [cue manical laughter...although there is absolutely NOTHING funny about this. Religous fanatacism is a curse upon our species regardless of WHO perpetuates/promotes it.
[Full Stop good citizen]
What's the question behind this phenomenon? What kind of 'wind up toy' are we/you?
If you've EVER asked the question 'how far is too far' when it comes to 'Go along to get along' let me suggest you START here...
'God's will' got this shit show started and it's looking like those behind 'God's will' are going to end us...'in the name of the (imaginary) Lord.
Um, another 'irksome' thing about divine liturgy is how it's dripping, absolutely soaked in Royal terminology.
Who is Jesus? King of kings and Lord of lords.
WTF?
Where did humanity learn war? Why at God's knee of course! [Your 'reason for being' is to serve the Almighty (King) and what better way to do that than to slay those who reject his beneficence?]
Hello? Is anybody home? Bueller? Anybody? Bueller?
Just something to contemplate today on Orthodox Easter...
Why are our problems intractable? Might have something to do with our twisted belief systems...
The nightmare won't end until you face reality, YOU are being PLAYED.
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
