Honest Thinking

I went with my family to see the film How to Train Your Dragon the other night. It was fun, and worth a couple of remarks to introduce my latest home page piece.

Much of it was about the idea that people can make mistakes about things based on their preconceptions. Vicious flying dragons frequently "raided" the vikings' village, but the vikings didn't understand the reality of their predicament. They honestly considered the dragons evil combatants, until a young man discovered what was really going on and learned how to benevolently interact with them.

This theme is often repeated in cinema, and it parallels my latest webzine feature. People honestly trust the Roman Catholic Church to save them, really honestly rationally because all they see is the World System in all its glory. There are too few Kingdom people out there to share Christ with them because so many who say they're Christ's are tied to one World god club or another.

I also thought about how World inhabitants would interpret this theme--taking the presumption from what I hear so many of them say so often.

"Look! What a terrific moral: we think we're seperate when we're all just the same! If only we'd all just be friends! Walk in one another's shoes! Chuck all those minor inconsequential differences! It's easy to get along if we just try!"

This denies the fact that the film still had a horrific adversary, the largest meanest dragon who had to be defeated in the end. And for those who think religion doesn't really matter after, the vikings still worshipped Odin, or at least he was mentioned. Why would the viking god (the real life viking god, not just the film-story one) be mentioned if he didn't have some significant role in their lives?

What I found most interesting is that the dragons were essentially victims of "dragon" sacrifice on the "altar" of the giant "god" dragon. All the other dragons very honestly, very reasonably, very rationally complied.

It was all they could do because all they did was fear.

Just like dutiful World inhabitants.

Want to get off the altar of habitual human sacrifice at the hands of sworn World operatives? Want to truly live and sow bounty into the lives of others? Want to pull yourself away from the codependent clutches of Cain's domain and instead experience the widest deepest love and envelope yourself in rapturous joy?

Thing is you'd need help.

The One Who Is Joy is right there at the entrance to the Kingdom to let you in. His nail scarred hands beckon you. Thing is...

He won't allow all that World baggage in with you.

The Official Roman Catholic Position is the True One

Recently the pope made more official some official declarations that the Roman Catholic Church has been officially making for centuries. When they do this it gets some media attention, mostly because so many chafe at the fact that the Roman Catholic Church is claiming to be the one true church. A mainstream news take on it all is here at the Los Angeles Times . What irritates people is that the church gets all puffy about how you can't earn God's favor or go to heaven or be a good person without the Roman Catholic Church. To keep from being too intolerant the church will say things like other institutions are means to grace or they are respected communities of belief and all the rest of it. But it still holds: The Roman Catholic Church is the true church . Want to know something? They're right . Yes. It's true. They are correct: The Roman Catholic Church is the one single true ecclesiastical body. They can make such a firmly veritable proclamation about this s...

The Propaganda Machine for the Entrenched Child Sacrifice Program is Humming Along Quite Nicely

Image
In his 1917 book Gullible's Travels , Ring Lardner wrote, "You know they's lots o' words that's called fightin' words. Some o' them starts a brawl, no matter who they're spoken to." It is the origin of the phrase, " Them's fightin' words." Perfect context for a Truth Rule that is so widely dismissed, particularly by those who screech like banshees "Freedom of speech is the very very very most important thing ever!!!" The Truth Rule: Nobody says anything truly worthy unless they are permanently indentured to the Spirit of the Lord and can share actual freedom things. Yes, it is painfully ironic, but still categorically true nonetheless. Otherwise everything said that gets out there, especially those things going wide and deep into the cybersphere, are merely the most lethally dangerous mines in the planet-sized trolling field. Some pretty good things are actually shared in Project 2025, this policy initiative published by...

It Has Been About 6,000 Years You Know, At Least

Image
I have given up seeing if people can really truly be wise, at least without some substantive help from God. That effort itself is a fool's errand.  The more I hear and listen and read and hear from people who sound really smart and think they are saying really smart things -- but then are actually really stupid, the more amazed I am that we've had some 6,000 years at least to be at least a little bit not-stupid. So much time to get it right, how in 6,000 years can so many still be so stupid. ::Sigh:: But then, it is biblical.  Scripture very clearly says everyone is as stupid as a rock. I know I have been, and when I go into that sickening denial mode, it is worse. In fact, it is sin, flat-out. About 10, 15 years ago I was driving in the morning to my work, which was then about 30 minutes away. I did what I sometimes did, and what I still do every once in a while but not too often these days because what is spewed there is almost always so agonizingly stupid -- I tuned into NP...
