Greetings good citizen, it is not uncommon for a writer to wrestle with the quandary of making themselves understood. Use simple terms and you won't capture the 'essence' of what you are attempting to convey, use the 'right' terms and half of your audience will find it indecipherable.
In the end you settle for 'whoever gets it, gets it and whoever doesn't, oh well.' If you re-read yesterday's post you might better comprehend why I'm writing this one...not that the simple among us will be aided much by that tidbit.
I fear some of you either miss my point entirely or only get the 'flavor' (but none of the substance) of what I am trying to convey.
Again it returns to if you get it, you get it and if you don't, oh well.
Jury says there is no such thing as a bad student, just poor teachers that fail to make their points clear.
[In defense of the teacher, who doesn't know what they don't know. Some people are so focused on what they are doing that they don't want to learn, they merely keep trying to make what they believe true and that's religion's doing, nurturing the idea that faith can perform miracles.]
Problem with faith is it doesn't tolerate questioning and if you can't examine something closely (because it doesn't hold water) then all you have is 'faith' that it works.
Well, as I have explained repeatedly, 'faith' is used to justify the unjustifiable. Those claiming to speak for he who is strangely mute insist it is "God's will" and they know this because they have FAITH! [In your typical 'circular' defense, they claim that you'd know it was true too if you only shared their faith!]
This leads, bizarrely enough, to their pleas of how can I prove it if you refuse to believe? (Only works if you keep the circle tight!)
Yeah, we are regularly led into war on the insistence that God wants us to smite those who refuse to obey his will. [What kind of a 'feeb' is this guy? Is it even worthy of the title 'god'?]
Then our leaders alternate between telling us god is with us or on our side...which is more than just a bit strange considering the original story was this whole thing was God's idea in the first place! [Like moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv, the true Capitol of Israel to Jerusalem the 'spiritual Capitol' of Christianity.]
God's soldiers, the Evangelicals, tell us it's what he who has never been seen wants...mostly because it's what they want.
I'd like to think everybody understand the danger posed by zealotry but if that were true we wouldn't have who we have posing as our leader who is just itching to be prosecuted for crimes against the state. [And he would be if not for Fox & friends defending him 24/7.]
Which is to ask a different question: where would we be if we didn't have advertiser supported media?
News is a necessity but our news is filtered by those who pay for it. In some cases it is created by them for us...(such as the defenders of the nitwit-in-chief.) Will being taken over by Disney change this? Probably not.
Understand?
Some of you will and some of you won't...to which we must simply shrug and say, 'oh well'.
Thanks for stopping by and opening your mind,
