Rational Human Sacrifice

I try to keep my radar tuned in to things said out there about human sacrifice. I do so because a prominent thrust of my web work is the firm proposition that human sacrifice is habitually practiced all the time right now by everyone who isn't in Christ. In fact, those who are fully committed followers of Christ are also human sacrificers, it is just they are sacrificing themselves in the love they have for others.

The fact is you can't avoid it. By the virtue of spiritual reality...

You are doing human sacrificing.

Oh it may not be the kind in which the beautiful virgin is tied up and witch doctors dance around her in hallucinatory hysterics just before heaving her into the raging volcano.

Today it takes so many different forms that are quite imperceptible to most people simply because they are so accustomed to doing it themselves. This is not even to mention how much the powers-that-be of the World System are involved in enabling it, convincing them it's all juuust fine in order to further legitimize their authority to crack heads of those who may just get a little too much into some brand of human sacrifice that appears juuust a bit too distasteful.

Anyway, I did come across this piece, written at a site I'm completely unfamiliar with, but a piece that appears to get at some of the reality of contemporary human sacrifice. Sure the guy goes off on human sacrifice as something those ancient folk did sooo long ago, but that, hey, let's be honest...

There was some reason they did it, don't you think?

I'm not so much into his explanations of the why's or wheretofore's about what happened eons ago. I think a lot of that is the partial hangout feature of the spurious but wholly embraced claim "We just don't do that kind of thing anymore."

But what I do connect with here is the idea that we need to cut the typical behavioral economist bull crap that there is anything that is irrational, and instead get right to it: Let's just see what's rational about things and accept it already, but then get at what's really meaningful.

Is it righteous or not?

And the only way to have things be righteous is if you clothe yourself with The One Who Is Righteousness. Then you'll be doing things from the authentic love you have for another because He loved you with His life. Righteousness only comes from self-sacrifice.

Otherwise, you're just an other-sacrificer -- or you're frantically flailing about in life trying to not be flopped on the altar of some other more powerful other-sacrificer.

It'll be one or the other.

Both are perfectly rational. They are. No issues there.

But which one is life?

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...
