I started checking on what it means to band together and found it almost always started with one person who looked as though he or she had a particularly firm grasp on what was perceived as being “right”, “logical” and “proper” in their assessment of threats and the portents of the deity they followed. They always seemed to have a base knowledge derived from faith in a higher power. The first Congregationalists (a term to denote religion; not any particular group using Congregation in its title) were ministers of a faith and as such were chosen as leaders. They seemed ordained or fated to a life of leadership.
The tripartite form of government formed by the Constitution is the scripture of a free nation and its equally free people. It’s designed however with flaws. The President has become the High Priest of Government extolling his congregations, the Senate and the House of Representatives, to accept his INTERPRETATION of the scripture. He no longer reads the scripture because he’s convinced himself he’s all knowing and any other interpretation must be wrong. To disagree is heresy. It’s blasphemy. It’s a denial of the new god he sees himself as being.
And his blinded, bedazzled and superlatively stupefied congregation marches along like rats following the Pied Piper off of a cliff. They drink the poisoned Kool-Aid ® they’ve been told will lead them to paradise as told by Jim Jones in Jonestown, Guiana. They commit a form of societal suicide because they want to belong to something they’ve been told is greater than they are.
God imbued us with the will and intelligence to see and know the difference between right and wrong. He commanded we follow “HIS” word, not the craven images and impostors placed before us to test our faith and understanding of that rightness he demands. This works in faith and in politics as well.
Do your representatives represent policies and laws and adherence to those laws; or do they allow divergence and a departure from that which was written by the best and wisest minds of our country during its infancy? Does the preaching of the blasphemer take hold and lead us to our self-destruction? Or do we go with a strict adherence to what we know is good and right? What was right then is right now. It needs NO alteration; merely that it, like God’s law is inviolate and not opened to negotiation because you want what you want and to hell with those who disagree.
I say to Hell with those who stray and set themselves up for their spiritual and political suicide by following false prophets seeking great profits.
The poverty of your soul is the cost of your refusal to do what’s right.
Thanks for listening
