Freedom

Freedom is all that matters. Freedom is all that matters to God and therefore to we humans. Everything else is window dressing. This is the only possible explanation for this our violent, dangerous and deadly “as is” world. If ours is a God created order, all of our experienced craziness has to have a God function. Why did God so design our world?

Why are children born without arms? Why are political protesters gunned down in the streets by a tyrant? Why cancer or heart disease? Why war? Why an airliner crash over the Potomac? Why are Chinese pathogen labs in our residential neighborhoods? Maybe evil is somehow our fault, we dump enough garbage into our lives resulting in suffering but that can’t be the whole story, that can’t be the whole mind of God. Why is it normal for the innocent to be victims of evil?  

Answer: because only in this our world can we get a taste of God freedom and learn to value that freedom. Progress is a slow walk.

Suffrage

The ladies should not have been given the right to vote. Call BoBo a chauvinist, a deplorable or whatever but it may have been a mistake. The Hillary’s of America are nothing short of criminals. These liberal leaning ladies look to big government to replace the man disappointments in their lives. And in so doing they fail to vote for the America beyond their own noses.

Universalism

There are two flavors of universalism. Christian universalism says that that God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ wills the eventual saving of all peoples, believers and nonbelievers alike. Because God wills this future for all of us, it will happen, in this earthly life or the timelessness of eternity.

God universalism says that God is not a dictator pulling strings in our world but is hidden among us working for the eventual union of all peoples with God. God would not be God if what God wills is only a future for the few. Our beginning was created by God and we all shall one day be a part of the God willed eternal future.

God only for the few is the Christian theological tradition. St. Augustine started this heaven and hell tradition some four hundred years after Jesus walked among us. From time to time other theologians have done some fine tuning but the gist of this God thinking has stood in place as the predominate understanding about God.

The minority universalist understanding that has always been with us made news in the last hundred years. Believers are coming to term with the truth that our all powerful God, who has given human life dignity, could not in any way be a failed God. What God wills, will happen.

Farm

The Radical Democrat leftists and their sugar daddies are a thin minority of unhappy, unaccomplished people who blame the rest of us for their misery. This 20% minority create all the noise, the chaos on our streets, the directed violence and the defrauding of the public trust. Anything goes because their lives are without significance so they go about creating their own meaning apart from God.

World history has shown that if this thin minority makes enough noise, silences enough opposing voices and cheats on enough elections, they will win and gain "almighty power" over the quiet, honest, peace loving folk. Will this minority destroy America as it has done so many times and in so many places, maybe, maybe not?  It depends upon the happy people and those of us who take personal responsibility for our own shortcomings. 

We who believe will not go into hiding and surrender the farm.

Pardons

BoBo is confused. Was it not just four years ago that a black Capital Hill Security guard shot and killed a white woman trespasser for attempting to enter the Capital Building on January 6? The murderer fired the shot from a distance and was not facing an immediate threat to his life or safety. Where is the justice in that?

George Floyd was inadvertently killed by a Minneapolis Police officer after violently resisting arrest four years ago. The officer, Derek Chauvin, was convicted by Minneapolis justice to 22.5 years in prison. He then was stabbed twenty two times while in prison by another inmate. Four other officers were convicted of lesser charges and were also sent to prison. Where is the justice in all that?

The Minneapolis crazies who were killed or wounded this month because they posed an immediate threat to federal officers up close and personal, placed themselves in harm’s way. In a real sense, they asked for it. Thankfully, federal officers while doing their duty are not subject to Minneapolis justice. All of us know, it is crazy to fight with armed police anywhere and at any time. The rest of America is not like the useful idiots in the sinkhole up north.

Some of us believe that Presidential pardons are owed to all the officers convicted by Minneapolis justice.

Fight

Some of we old folk dream of simpler times. Just let us go out quietly, no fuss. However, among the old or the young, it is hard to remain uninvolved as the present day clash of cultures has disturbed our desired national tranquility.  Why is our world so bedeviled?

Let us return to the days of yesteryear, to the days of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, a cloud of dust and a hardy, Hi Ho Silver! Those were days, the good times in our childhood but those simple times are no more. Now we must choose sides, between family, friends and neighbors. Now we must find a way to stand out from the dispassionate, uninvolved Americans, we are the sidelined quarterbacks speaking for a bygone era.

Now we must fight for the America of our youth.

Proof

Flat out, the existence of a God of any sort cannot be proven. There is no book, no bible, no history, no testimony, no martyr and no level of faith that proves God. Anyone who is aware of our human landscape, intellectually and experientially, must agree that the existence of a God or Gods cannot be beyond argument. To think otherwise is to live in a dream world. There are those of us who think and believe that God can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (whatever that is) but pure God existence has always and remains an argument.

Each of us will one day go back to the earth with the existence of God being an open question. The proof may or may not come at this time when we may or may not be asked the question, “what was your time all about?”

Ouch!
