Greetings good citizen, as today's lede implies I finished watching the netflix special report on The Family, which, disturbingly enough, is the english translation of the Italian word Mafia.
Ironically the, er, 'torchbearer' for evangelical outreach program is deceased but like the mafia, the organization itself lives on.
Lenin had it right, religion is the opiate of the masses.
What the devout routinely miss is those who profess to be 'committed to God' do so for one reason, to usurp its authority.
God isn't the problem, those who claim to be doing God's work are.
We have a name for people who hear voices in their heads and that name is crazy. People who believe they can talk to God are insane.
Um, the megalomaniacs who wrap themselves humility, claiming they only seek to 'serve god' are raving lunatics.
Let's have a look at where that kind of thinking leads...shall we?
Yesterday the 'replacement' Attorney General called for ZERO TOLERANCE for resisting police...which will somehow make them 'safer'.
NOTHING is going to keep the ever more intrusive stance of those dispatched to harass the public on a daily basis for whatever strikes them as 'suspicious'. Here's a solution that will work. Want to keep police 'safe', Mr. Barr? Abolish the damn job and let people solve their own problems!
[Can't do that because YOU are part of the problem!]
We already have cops tasing people to death because they were 'frightened'.
If you are a coward you have no business wearing a badge...and the job isn't 'as advertised'.
The people who have claimed the law for themselves NEED the protection of the armed thugs so they can dispense injustice however THEY see fit.
Just as those who claim to 'speak for God' are only interested in 'the power and the glory', god can keep his alleged compassion and humility. The 'speakers for god want YOUR BLIND OBEDIENCE, just like Mr. Barr demands.
The problem with these zero tolerance, my way or the highway types is they don't THINK...and Mr. Barr got his job using his considerable skills at fellatio and not because he is either 'smart' or 'wise'.
How many times do I need to explain the obvious? A man bends the knee to no one, regardless of who they think they are. The LAW stands ALONE and means no more or no less than what those living under it agree that it means.
There can be NO justice until all humans receive equal treatment under the laws, not the laws of GOD but those of humanity.
God is a lie and those who claim to speak for God are liars.
Those who achieve public office then claim they are there to do 'god's work' are unfit to serve but I again belabor the obvious.
Jesus + nothing leaves YOU on your own.
Jesus/God made them leaders and they don't have to do anything for YOU. God chose THEM and NOT you...
This is not the end of their 'selfishness' nor did Doug Coe's death spell the end of the Family. The media's long silence doesn't erase the existence of that other 'more honest' family. The Mafia doesn't pretend to be one thing and act like another but the Evangelicals have the rubes chumped with Trump.
Little difficult to cast The Donald in the role of the Wolf King...if that were the case, wolves would be extinct already.
YOUR first duty is to your HUMANITY, NOTHING comes before it.
Until next time, Head.
