We All Though Really Just Really Really Want To Be In The Great Big Club
Tim brought up something about it that relates to the seriously entrenched echo chambers the whole chatbot obsession is creating -- perfectly what the Jesuits want to happen! -- everyone just living comfortably in their own "cognitive universes," as another pundit called them.
One of the examples Tim shared was how some detractors will incessantly post the notion that Christianity was the most oppressive, imperialist, just-plain-rotten thing that ever happened, you know the trope. Tim added in his own web efforts Red Pen Logic he has had to set the record straight with all the great things Christianity has contributed, you know, hospitals and schools and charities and libraries and medical advances all those really really good things for civilization.
Thuh end. I guess...
What is so exasperating about this answer is it really doesn't get at why precisely so many do feel such antipathy. Is it just because "Christianity" did the Crusades and advocated slavery and all the rest of it? Is that just it? Or is there so much more that, really, Greg and Tim just can't understand because they too are so given over to the idea that the Roman Catholic Church is just another form of Christianity but with a few kinks, and more significantly because their ministries rely so much on that monolithic ($$$) force Roman Catholic "Christianity"?
What is the answer? It is simple if you're willing to see what the Roman Catholic Church actually is, identify it, examine it, come out of it if you are in it and go to Christ and Kingdom, yet see it as a legitimate instrument of judgment in the ministry of condemnation God established with Cain and his minions some six-plus millennia ago. Those minions still do the prosecutorial work of Cain today, in the government, in the banking system, in the schools, in the media, in the interest groups and philanthropies, and very much in the churches. All of those officially signed up with whatever registration Caesar asks is a card-carrying dues-paying organization doing the good work of the World System.
Can Greg or Tim give that answer? Can they elucidate the reality of this World System with its own version of "Christianity" that is supposed to be oppressive and imperialist and all of that, and that people who do not have Christ feel the weight of it and revile it with all their guts? Of course they hate it so! It is ruthless! It employs a massive amount of evil to do their work, seven times as much!
Along with that, however, is the System does most of its work to make itself look really good and nice and kind, and -- here's the key -- something everyone wants to be a part of. It markets itself exceptionally well to let everyone know they are it, and so many people are in it you'd be a fool to reject it. All that stuff about people raging and rebelling and racing to the roaring revolution is just their demonstration of their full commitment to Rome and its ruses.
I snatched this screenshot from a blog post I put up in September of 2009. From major journalistic influencer the Los Angeles Times, this whole circus is so well represented here, in the image and in the stories next to it.
That picture. Just what the System has been fomenting for eons. Start with Cain's city, then draw the most enraged resistance warriors, then employ people who like cracking heads because it is just too much fun -- and you'll get seven-fold strength to help, that's cool --
And it's on.
Yeah, this newspaper clipping was 16 years ago, but it could have been any time in history. It has been. It is now. It always will be (until the Last Day). Over and over and over and over and over... Cain's strength displayed in all its colors, and people like the guy in the Guy Fawkes mask being played yet again. Can't have the game without him.
Have you been watching what has been happening in Washington DC right now? Just this morning President Trump announced he's essentially kicking in martial law throughout the city because it is so overrun by crime. Thing is, if you're paying attention you'll see that DC is just American Rome. People like the Guy Fawkes-masked guy, millions of them, just hate that. So they act out. They do the things Rome must prosecute: commit crimes, vandalize things, loot shops, flip-off cops, kick old people in the shins, enjoy rioting... ::yawwn::
Please, don't forget, all the much nicer ways upstanding respectable people try to get Rome to not be so totalitarian are just as much a love letter to the entrenched powers-that-be, you know, the registering and voting and lobbying and petitioning and sign-waving and blapping very loudly across the airwaves about how some Romanist thing needs to be this way or that way -- it may not be physical violence now but it is the very best spiritual and emotional violence the best World devotee can spew.
It doesn't stop.
Rome doesn't want it to stop.
Once again, people like it no matter how much they whine and have their tantrums.
Everyone wants a bully that's bigger and badder than the other guy's, no matter how nasty things can get. They want their political bully to be as totalitarian as the totalitarianism they say they revile. Yeah, it is wickedly twisted.
I happened to catch this just this morning in my news browsing -- I do spend some time looking at what all the more renowned online carnival booths are trying to tell me -- these stories are from NBC News.
The irony was just too much.
First in the middle of the home page there was the story about the massive wad of cash some television service is paying to have people watch guys (and sometimes even women) beat the shit out of each other. Oh my, that it has become this popular, still blows my mind. Then there was the story a few clicks down (I just put the actual clicked ledes side-by-side in the posted image), about the boxers who died from their fun times in the ring.
It is perfectly fine for me to shell out 80 clams to watch that one guy pummel that other guy on the mat, but if I go punch my next-door neighbor for failing to return my hedge trimmers I get prison time. I guess if I get all tatted, put on some ridiculous-looking trousers, and charge people to come watch it'll be okay.
So what was that thing you were saying about "Christianity" being mean and ugly and bad and really bad?
Depends on what Christianity you are talking about.
In my last post I'd mentioned a news piece that looked at how many young people are flocking to Rome, and I'd mentioned it was because of some of the things I'd heard people say about Roman Catholicism, that its delightful performance art and its splendid architecture and its just so spiffy super nice looking things are all just more like what you'd think heaven would be.
As I thought about it, there are a couple other extraordinarily appealing factors -- again I had not read the article but I do know a little about Roman Catholicism and I do know some decent amount of what God tells us in Scripture. I can surmise pretty respectably what it is about Rome that is so compelling. There may be some good things to know in the Free Press article, I'm fine with that, I would like to check it out sometime. But for now...
One of those bits is one that is posted everywhere on social media, all the time. It is all about the Great Big Club, made up of all the rich and powerful people, and the remark that only George Carlin could make funny was "You're not in it." We laugh through the tears because it is comical and tragic.
Well, the truth behind that truth is Rome is that Great Big Club.
Again, people want to be where all the rich and powerful people are -- one of the reasons the Guy Fawkes people are so livid! They want to be in the Club but they won't let them! They will scratch and claw with as much of their intelligence and industry and compliance and cleverness they can muster, even though in the deepest parts of its rabbit hole existence it is all occult-driven by the required directives of Hell.
It does seem twisted: they hate The Club but they love The Club? Again, they hate it because they are told they can't be in it, yet so many of them are provoked to do something to sabotage it in some way because they live such desperate lives and compulsively feel their only solution is That Big Club. They may appear to be antagonistic, but it is really just the rebellious sentiment Rome wants to see and merely a bold expression of their devotion! Since every relationship in this whirlwind is codependent in nature, it is much like the ditched girlfriend continuing to call the ditching boyfriend even if it is to share a protracted fury with him!
On the surface of the Romanist extravaganza, mind you, everyone really goes crazy to appear so very nice and polite, they smile at you and pat you on the back and when you're in church you'll get to hear special sounding music and they know so well when it is right to stand and then kneel and then stand again and then sit down but not kneel and they'll even let you eat Jesus (how intimate!) And when you do your confession thing it is so good to have a Jesuit do it because those guys are so very understanding and your penance will be something you actually like so you can feel good before you sin again and return for more good-feels. You can be open about all that and then be told you're not so bad after all, and that has to be good because those guys are really smart about those things -- just do these good wholesome religious things and pay them a decent portion of your income to feel more like a member of the club.
It is all so entrancing to an individual disgusted by the Christianity that is so ruthless and oppressive, you know, that mean old version that is so judgmental telling you how much of a bad person you are and that you need their kind of Jesus. Pshaw. You can so well see the impact of Rome's militant operations on those once stalwart traditional Protestant churches -- Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational -- today so kind and caring and welcoming and not-mean in any way but now just full extensions of the richest grandest Roman Catholic Ecclesiocracy.
The Jesuits have done their work exceptionally well. Really, they have. While Greg and Tim can so deftly tell us about the results of Rome's work -- again, so insidious: the "AI" now able to amplify hundreds of tribal echo chambers for us all to be richly henotheistic again ultimately keeping everyone entranced by the Romanist designs against them -- they cannot see the forest through the trees to really get at what is happening with it all.
Not dismissing their good evangelical work at all. Anyone who shares Christ and Kingdom as they are in reality should be encouraged, and I admit I can be quite cynical. I do firmly believe in order to be authentic worship communities every church and ministry should be ungrafted, that is, not contractually obligated to the Romanist System that is Cain's Legacy -- but I will emphasize I'm not the judge of what any organization is or does for the Kingdom or what any individual's commitment to Christ is like. Yes, it is not my call.
It'd be nice if any of those who like sharing Christ in fully gospel-advancing ways would carefully read the fourth chapter of Genesis to discover the start of the World System, and get deep into so much more of those parts of Scripture that clearly illuminate the distinction between the Kingdom and Rome -- to make that contrast much more meaningful, much more profound...
So people, especially young people would be repenting and believing on Christ, which is the real eternal, not just lighting candles in an imposing church edifice, which is quite temporal.
That's it, again, this entire web effort is about is getting people to understand and know Christ and Kingdom. It is much less about anything Rome except to know what to do to first leave one's own sinfulness but also leave Caesar to do his job of cracking heads of those who refuse to come to that major reckoning by Christ and Him alone -- and that he works like a madman to make himself very attractive with many different personas to get people into the Great Big Club. That is authoritative, legitimate, and stunningly imaginative.
It's not the Kingdom, however.

Praise be to the Lord,
for he showed me the wonders of his love
when I was in a city under siege.
In my alarm I said,
“I am cut off from your sight!”
Yet you heard my cry for mercy
when I called to you for help.
Love the Lord, all his faithful people!
The Lord preserves those who are true to him,
but the proud he pays back in full.
Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord.
(From the 31st Psalm)
