Common Sense in the 21st Century - Art, Science, Theory, or Illusion?

It is good to keep in mind that my worldview is a constantly evolving project. That's probably the same for you - and most other people. Critical thinking is to blame - we think, therefore, we evolve. Many of my older sites are views that felt important to me to share at the time. But, years down the road many of these views have grown faint in the rear view mirror. Nevertheless, they were part of the journey and seemed - at that time - really important! In general, it is now my view that all politics and religion are simply conspiratorial tools set in place to somewhat control and guide humanity along a course that will hopefully prevent it from completely destroying itself (it, being humanity).
At about the same time - 2009 - I tuned out of politics and religion. Seemingly (sadly) both seem cut from the same rank truth troubled cloth. Reality checks can be frustrating to sort through. What is and what it appears to be true often seems manipulated by those who are charged with reporting the news and the good news - corporate mass media and corporate church. Is it simply too risky to get real with the truth? It is my belief (like a conspiracy that is not completely bad) President Trump has saved the political machinery of America. Truly, he is an American patriot who put himself in the line of fire to preserve the great experiment - the United States of America, a land where it is theorized that a moral people can actually govern themselves. Is that idea a charade? Maybe, but it is the best game ever presented to the unwashed masses who can actually achieve a decent level of living. It has changed the world. There is not another country in the world where people risk life and limb to cross the border. It is frustrating to see so many misguided citizens attempting to destroy what the founders of America framed in the Constitution. As of yet, nobody seems to be stepping up to save religion - Christianity or otherwise. Bits of pieces of the Gospel do shine through even with humanity's best efforts to obscure it. The Gospel is actually hidden in plain sight for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Jesus came to put the sacrificial ways of the Judaic Temple to an end. And, He did. It's finished. Nevertheless, the Temple recreated itself in a new package called the church, substituting a couple of new ingredients for those removed. In the New Testament, the Gospel of John reads like a whole different theology from that of the writings attributed to Paul, as do most of the other letters gathered together to reinvent the religion that Christ came to put to rest. Strife on earth is the work of the great adversary. Whatever it is that promotes such soulful unrest is the work of the great adversary, and not of God. The Gospel message is clear, as is the message contained in the writings attributed to John - "God is Love" 1 John 4:8 AV (All Versions) Perhaps most frustrating is to wonder if it (humanity) is incapable of truly guiding (or saving) itself in the light of love. Love, that which we were ultimately created by, for, and to experience on this temporal segment of our eternal journey. Although, there seems to be hope in the Supreme Court of overturning a decades old ruling that allows the murder of our most innocent and helpless - babies in the womb. Time tells the truth for all - or, at least, that is my theocentric eternal view. The nice thing about that view is that it gives me an eternity to forgive all those who have fought for the opposing view...and were horrendously wrong. Yes - I am prolife, just like our Creator - my Lord and Savior - Jesus. |
