Currently, open carry is legal in Kentucky — without a permit.
But if someone wants to carry concealed (or simply put a coat over the firearm) he or she must get government permission.
That’s ridiculous.
A dozen states have Constitutional Carry — or concealed carry without the permission slip! And they are among the safest in the nation.
FK – I’m not sure if that form will work for just anyone. Plug in your zip code and see what happens. You should already be on GOA’s email alert list anyway. They’re far superior to the ‘No Rights that aren’t Allowed’ group.
If you can’t make it work go to the KY LRC page and search for your legislator and email or call them.
And while you’re at it contact your U.S. Congressmen and tell them to get behind this, for it’s way past due and really only a minuscule fraction of what should be done to the BATF Nazis for their muliti-decade record of tyranny:
What to teach your kids Barry Bright Dec. 23 – 25 , 2016
This is written in the recognition that this country is full of 40-year olds that are incapable of making a logical rational decision, proven once again by the recent quadrennial quest for the idiot vote during which our voters chose between a vile globalist Marxist witch and a demagogue with no record to back up anything it spewed out of its mouth.
Also my local Kentucky legislators, republicrats both, will be holding a public meeting on the future of Kentucky education this week in the county seat. The state Rep., ‘Bam’ Carney is according to the Kentucky Tea Party anything but ‘conservative’ in his fiscal voting record and the State Senator Max Wise has written ‘guest editorials’ in the local rag discussing among other inanities how he’s going to be conducting ‘citizenship talks’ or some such at local schools and telling innocent children how to function in their ‘democracy.’
Sigh. After all these years, they’re telling the same old lies, and it’s the republicrats doing it, not the demonscat. We have a long way to go.
Education is very important, especially since we allow the victims of our government indoctrination centers(schools and universities) to vote. Our modern schools were founded, created and are constantly being ‘reformed’ by socialists/collectivists of one stripe or another. Why?
First a disclaimer for the simple-minded to brain dead among us: Obviously this is the end result of what any child(future adult) should know by the time they are of ‘legal age,’ not necessarily what one would teach to little kids before they’re ready:
The world is not what they teach you in school or in Sunday school.
Self defense is the most basic right any creature possesses, thus one must be ready, willing and able to shoot or use other ‘martial arts’ to kill those who would enslave us or in our case enslave us further. Dealing with common criminals is a fringe benefit of this natural born right, as government criminals are always far more dangerous.
Lying is wrong unless it’s an act of war and even then should be used very judiciously. Politicians who are using it as an act of war against human liberty should be tried and executed for it.
Almost everything we do in this world is an act of war. There are no ‘safe places’ in this dangerous world. We daily ride thousands of miles an hour through space on a water-soaked fire-spitting rock populated by billions who think it’s perfectly OK that their god, that’s ‘their’ god, is going to burn billions alive in fire forever, including babies and little kids. There are less dangerous places, but certainly no safe places. Just ask Elizabeth Smart.
Love thy neighbor and treat them as you’d prefer to be treated but realize your neighbor may be very willing to slit your throat when hungry enough and very willing to vote you into slavery because they don’t mind being a slave themselves to one form of authoritarianism or another.
Again, we are at war and it’s ‘all’ propaganda. Propaganda was once simply lies, then truth and lies mixed, then truth told as a lie to achieve some goal, and now in the internet age it’s like that pink goo they make into mcnuggets or whatever.
Help them gain a real understanding of the Bill of Rights and the Bill of Rights of the state they live in and the fact that those documents are based in the most basic right we possess, the right to fight back against and kill if necessary those who would enslave or in our case enslave us further. Place large readable copies of both documents with historically accurate, not “Liberal”(commie) trash politically corrected versions, explanations next to them on the walls of all government schools so that kids learn the govt. is always their greatest enemy.
There’s no such thing as a ‘right’ to work covertly or overtly to enslave those around you.
Voting is a privilege for those who earn it through long education and consideration not a ‘right’ for morons who only vote so they can get a check, a job or some other benefit or to make a slave state ‘great’ again(whatever that really means).
How to hunt, try for treason and execute politicians or any elected, hired or appointed public servants that break their oaths to uphold our national or state Bills of Rights.
11.(parts A through whatever) – Teach little kids to swim on a planet that is 70 percent water.
– How to keep physically fit and not eat like a pig all the time for the benefit of one’s health and personal dignity.
– How to read books besides whatever ancient tribal propaganda your culture pretends to value and it usually is pretension.
– How to start a fire.
– How to steal when necessary from those who have made themselves your enemies.
– How to deal honestly with those who deserve such.
– How to respect those who have earned it.
– How to deal with those who don’t by hunting “Liberal”(commie) trash to extinction when enough finally see the necessity of doing so.
– How to lobby their legislatures and congress.
– How to think when others are telling you ‘what’ to think.
– How to disagree without violence except when dealing with “Liberal”(commie) trash that has long used its false civility and false pacifism to deceive us all while being very willing to send their black-suited Nazis to shove their evil down our throats at the point of a govt. gun.
– How to dress decently without wasting time or money on mindless convention.
– How to not be such a goody-two shoes that you can’t stand to hear/read an occasional ‘dirty word’ used for emphasis or in comedy or an occasional dirty joke.
– How not to irritate those around you by cursing constantly and constantly telling off color jokes.
– How to deal with/treat those we claim to care about.
– How to prevent unwanted children from being born, as in ‘the choice is made when the chance is taken.’
– How to enjoy sexual activity with our partner of choice without coercion, deception, force, political correctness, unsafe/unhealthy activities, shame, guilt, fear of eternal punishment by a sadistic god that was created to help keep the slaves working or to keep the tribe from descending into chaos or an unmanageable horde of lazy apathetic cowardly victims who are ripe for invasion or enslavement from within, kinda like us….
That’s the short list. But you get the idea. Feel free to add those that truly apply to keeping this a truly free country.
I’ve long held that over-protecting or spoiling a child is a form of neglect, or child abuse. Our schools and many to most parents are raising children to be children instead of adults. The governments and corporations and other control groups love and want this.
A real human adult is not just another herd animal that grazes and breeds and makes car and mortgage payments and saves for ‘retirement,’ a time when they’re too old and decrepit to enjoy the money they earned.
A real human does not tolerate being treated like a jackass by his/her governments or employers and takes on personal responsibility for the world they exist in rather than sitting on their asses waiting for it to end which involves all the above mentioned items and many more.
The human condition is not generally improved by those who waste their time in this world waiting for it to end. It is improved by those who look to a brighter future under human Liberty and work to achieve it.
Some more disclaimers for the benefit of the simple-minded to brain dead:
Our domestic blood enemies have no problem lying to or stealing from us all. Try reading “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu and ‘The Prince’ by Machiavelli. If the real white-skinned enemies of western civilization couldn’t lie they wouldn’t need oxygen. Deception is the first rule of war. If you think we’re supposed to be living in a free country they are waging war on you. They’re not your ‘friends.’
Because there are tool-using monkeys that will never make any real effort to educate their offspring we will probably always need government schools or some kind of ‘public education,’ so we must be sure all young adults have an adult understanding of the above so they don’t vote for demagogues that they think will wave a magic wand and solve all their problems for them.
We should be free to educate children in Liberty, not indoctrinate them in one form of authoritarianism or another but we should not neglect those imprisoned in ‘public’ institutions for they are future voters.
Teenagers should be given the option of going to high school or taking vocational training or working a ‘job'(just over broke) for a while until they are(maybe) mature enough(capable of abstract thought) to understand the importance of real education, not the socialist/corporate indoctrination that now passes for ‘education’ that is always undergoing one reform or another.
High schools should be open to those who want to return, up to 21 years of age. Adult classes should also be available. Upon receipt of a diploma, that actually means something, they should be able/required to take a voter test to prove they have a proper understanding of the kind of government we’re supposed to have here and an understanding of our real history, warts and all, not anyone’s PC version.
Of course there would be fraud in such a system, just as our collection of sovereign nation states have a 200-year history of voter fraud. The strictest penalties possible should be applied to those engaging in such, up to and including death for voting is the most violent act anyone can participate in.
For you know not what they might have to do:
FK – Only truly pathetic creatures think times like this won’t or can’t come again.
It all seems so ‘unreal’:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfvBM0C4Bqc
FK – Well that’s funny. The ‘unreal’ governments around me are consistently stealing money out of my paycheck every week. If I made a lot of money and didn’t ‘voluntarily’ share it with the demonscat and republicrats they’d send their black suited Nazis to steal my property and murder me if I fought back. Funny thing. Real funny, unreal thing.
‘Private judgement’ is what brought that about. They have no problem forcing their ‘private judgement’ on their neighbors at the point of a gun.
Mainstream religion(christianity in this country) works hand in hand with them by telling their brain dead cowardly flocks ‘obey the magistrates appointed over you’ because what they do is ‘god’s will’ because those in power are there because it’s ‘god’s will.’ Those disobedient to this face eternal torture, mentioned multiple times in the ancient tribal propaganda. I’d say that’s ‘force’ that far surpasses a gun the face, at least to most of the sheeple. Nice neat little package huh?
Meanwhile every generation of ‘believers’ is told “You’re gonna get beamed up soon so you don’t have to worry about any of this worldly stuff,” which meshes perfectly with the average sheeple’s apathy. Meanwhile their children are born and die as one version of slaves or another, just as it’s always been. Funny thing that.
Until all children are taught they are the masters, as adults, of their governments, and control their own minds, tyranny of one kind or another will march on. Here in this country we are supposed to be Caesar.
Reminds me of a bumper sticker I used to see at the machine gun shoot: “The only reason some people aren’t dead is it’s illegal to kill them.”
What do the elites teach their kids?:
And what do the elites think of us?:
FK – The most important thing to understand is that ‘they’ consider us to be livestock. We must judge all their actions by that fact.
Will we be saved by a miraculous troglodyte?
Barry Bright
Nov. 9, 2016
Well for once I actually called one right, sort of. A few months back I told someone and have repeated myself on this site and other places that Trump would likely trounce Hitlery in the general election. But the caveat I kept to myself was it depended on how much vote fraud, stealing, buying, whatever went on. But we’re all sick of prognosticators.
Now we have to listen to the demonscat party whine about getting rid of the electoral college system.
And I’ll admit it, this morning I was just shy of elated because the CFR witch was deprived of its lifelong desire to play elected dictator over all our existences in this world and not because of who or what will be entering the now red house.
Even though hitlery would’ve caused gun and ammo sales to skyrocket and the militias to continue to grow I still would’ve been afraid. Yep, the coward in me wanted to vote for Trump instead of standing up on my own two feet and fighting a war that is coming no matter how much so many of us lie to ourselves about it.
That’s the problem. Too many of us are afraid. This is our country and we have a Bill of Rights, the document that makes us exceptional, and it’s way past damn time we acted like it.
Noting wrong with taking a little time to celebrate but we still have Yankees just over the hill:
FK – The Marxist mutt didn’t ‘start’ ISIS. It’s a tool doing what it’s told.
The only thing that really brought hitlery down was Trump’s mouth, his charisma and salesmanship. The mush heads simply chose another savior. If the demonscat party had cast aside its chief witch and brought another Marxist mutt out of some urban sewer with the same level of charisma and salesmanship and a cleaner record and better looks it would’ve been a much ‘closer’ race.
We are in a cave and have found a match that might or might not burn long enough to get us a few feet closer to the entrance.
When we’re hanging them as we should have been doing decades ago I’ll gloat and smile broadly, while I’m happily flipping that lever.
Now if we could only get all the Trumpsters to stay away from the golf course and the fishin’ hole or the bar or the couch or the church pew or the biker rally or whatever their thing is and force the republicrats to do their jobs and start the arrests and the treason/war crimes trials.
Regardless, if the amerikan communist insurgency feels itself greatly endangered we may be forced to bring the troops home, activate the National Guard and the militias and send the Marines to invade the Commiefornia coast.
Their leadership and that includes the rich elite globalists that fund them, will now slide off to some dark corner to sulk and redraw their plans and adjust their lies but they will not simply throw up their hands and say “Oh sorry we bothered you, we’re going home now to live in peace and Liberty with our neighbors.”
Won’t happen. Their arrogance and lust for power will never allow it. Eradication will be the only option.
FK – As I’ve written many times before commiefornia will have to be re-invaded and re-conquered, along with the rest of the left coast and the eastern commie enclaves.
Now we have to keep all the trumpsters awake and off the couch and actually paying attention to what their savior does next and hope they don’t go along with too much of it because ultimately at best Trump is a Liberty neophyte if not an outright faker.
He still has to carry all the water his mouth spit into the political atmosphere.
Too bad we don’t have a real statesmen to do what needs to be done:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar2N2Xm5UlQ
FK – As much as I respect Dr. Paul I have to ask: “Why hasn’t the CFR witch’s mind or the mind of its husband of convenience or millions of others been ‘changed?’
We’ve had the net for 20 years. What excuses do they have anymore? It’s too easy now to go online and with a few simple searches, despite google’s best efforts, to find out how evil socialism and its handmaiden gun control is.
Yet they persist.
Trump is a demagogue and may yet prove to be a faker. In some cases we’d better hope he is. We’d also better hope the tiny minority of the republicrats in the congress and our state legislatures can keep a tight grip on the authoritarians on the other side. But I wouldn’t count on it.
And Paul puts a little too much blind faith in the ‘free market.’ The free market allowed slavery for 85(really about 200) years in this country and the corporate workaholic assholes would have us all back on 16 hour days 7 days a week if they could get away with it. American corporations moved jobs overseas after NAFTA so they could find desperate workers that would put up with such and corrupt governments that would allow it.
If our governments don’t have the right to treat us like jackasses neither do our employers nor anyone or anything else.
And we still have this:
FK – Gee, I don’t see the little trash, some of whom are probably being paid, throwing up their hands and saying “We give. We’re gonna leave our neighbors alone to live in a free country now.”
“Liberal”(commie) trash season will still prove to be a necessity.
FK – Jenner and its ilk are obviously suffering from birth defects or mental illness or some combination thereof. The amerikan communist insurgency calling themselves ‘liberals’ and ‘progressives’ and sometimes ‘conservatives’ and ‘republicans’ as usual are using any minority they can sink their hooks into as tools to control every aspect of our existences in this world and to destroy our Bill of Rights, the document that makes us exceptional.
Oh for a nation of men. In a couple generations they’ll all be wearing a hijab and serving as pleasure boys for the fundie ragheads the “Liberal”(commie) trash are bringing in by the planeload.
Or we’ll all be camel jockeys as the Europeans almost are now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR1q9Ee5j34
FK – So who and where are our real enemies? Who or what is really behind the destruction of the liberties of western civilization?
Who among us is going along with, funding, voting for this evil? Who are our real enemies?
Oh for a nation of men.
If the fundie ragheads ever conquer western civilization it’ll be because of our white-skinned blood domestic enemies that are empowering them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4jEAlGDmNs
FK – The Brits’ real enemies like ours have white skin and are native born. They are paving the way for Islamic invasion. We should be hunting them before we have to hunt ragheads on our own soil.
Islamophobia, homophobia, just more key terms and phrases used for mind control.
How much longer? Where is the militia we should have established decades ago during the klinton administration to deal with our native born white-skinned “liberal”(commie) trash that is bringing all this down on our heads via their elitist masters and who knows what or who else.
What kind of mind games are they playing with us? Are they trying to create a population with so much congnitive dissonance they cannot see the difference between supporting or at least ‘tolerating’ the ‘gay’ lifestyle while at the same time ‘tolerating’ a ‘religion’ that the will never tolerate the birth defect/mental illness that homosexuality is?
That sad fact is that for many freedom of religion is OK unless its freedom from ‘my’ religion.
We are still a very primitive species and still exist in a very dark age and if we don’t come up with some men in this country real soon we are headed for much darker times. And no one is gonna get beamed up before things get too bad. Your preachers are lying to you. They are part of the problem.
FK – The Brits fully deserve what is happening to them because when they were told to surrender their guns they failed to walk out their front doors and hunt their “Liberal”(commie) trash to extinction.
The same will happen here. Are we ready? Oh for a nation of men.
Our own military leadership will not be on our side:
FK – We want freedom of religion but not freedom from ‘our’ religion.
If anyone does get beamed up, or already has been as many claim, it won’t be what they want or expect:
FK – Lots of things in today’s culture defy ‘rational explanation,’ including why the human animal usually prefers willful ignorance and easily swallowed mythologies over taking personal responsibility for the world it exists in.
Western civilization is dissolving before our eyes. Who or what is really behind it and why does this suit their purposes?
FK – “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Who said/wrote that?
150 years ago an airplane would’ve been pixie dust to the average person and indeed seemed useless to some military leaders when flight was first conquered, even after millennia of the militaries and governments seeking the high ground.
Similarly maybe someday someone will come up with a system that ‘works.’ Ours would ‘work’ if the sheeple didn’t have a slave mentality that was either designed into their DNA or has been bred into them over millennia of the submissive surviving to breed, or both. The elites have used this knowledge to their advantage, to the point of paying the stupid and lazy to breed so their offspring could be encouraged to vote.
All the excuses for govt. not working, chiefly the tendency of humans to seek to increase power over others, could be stifled if the average sheeple could be indoctrinated in the mindset that it has not only a right but a duty and responsibility to fight back. Most of them are nowhere near possessing such mostly or at least partly because the schools and churches are not set up to teach such. When my ‘liberal’ teachers told me we’re supposed to be ‘free’ here they meant their version, as socialist slaves and my sunday school teacher meant under a sadistic god patterned after ancient tyrannical kings who looked down their noses at their subjects(slaves) and said “Obey me or I’ll torture and/or kill you.”
I’ve seen one or two good arguments for ‘anarchy,’ real anarchy not communism posing as such, but I cannot forget, while living out here in podunk, or even in some large city, that the average dumbass is never going to watch a video much less read a book about how much better it would be. Those dumbasses can be dangerous and sometimes need more than a smile and a nod.
When ‘we the people’ can’t even organize a militia force to stand against an obviously evil empire how are we to deal with the local miscreants?
What the sheeple and indeed many waking ‘patriots’ need to learn is they are the authority and the elected, hired and appointed public servants and even the black-robed shysters serve at their leave, not the other way around as was the standard through most of history. Maybe that old standard is still buried too deeply in our DNA.
In the meantime let’s concentrate on the battles we can win:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iE2-czVKH4
FK – Mccommie should’ve been tried and executed for treason decades ago but sadly we are no longer a nation of men.
FK – We’re in an incredibly dangerous time. Who knows for sure what Trump really wants to do or is really about. He has no record of working for Liberty or the restoration of the Bill of Rights and no record of giving to organizations that do so.
Who knows for sure what the religious zealots behind Cruz really want. Yes, it would beat total communism, but it’s still not freedom. When someone is threatening to torture you they don’t love, like or even respect you. They consider us to be slaves or really, livestock.
If we make it through 2016 maybe the best we could hope for would be a hitlery presidency whereby gun and ammo sales would remain high, the militias would continue to grow and the republicrats and tea partiers stay off the couch and golf course because they’re not pretending the NWO RINO they were just allowed to vote for is going to wave its magic wand and save them.
I call them the unmentionables. In a free country there’s no such thing as a group whose motives cannot be questioned. When we have that we have a serious problem. We have a serious problem.
FK – Maybe this is part of the reason we don’t have a ‘democracy.’ Trump can’t be trusted since he has no record of working for human Liberty or for donating to groups that do so. Did he really recently experience an awakening or change of heart? Who has ESP and can tell us what Trump really intends or what Cruz really intends. At least Cruz has an actual voting record we can look at. But he also has very questionable connections through his wife and his father.
The republicrat party prez candidates are sounding better than they used to but what does that mean? Will they restore the Bill of Rights or at least work toward that goal or are they just telling desperate conservatives and tea partiers what they want to hear?
I’ll stick with some of the ‘divide and conquer’ if you please. We don’t need a commie spring and we don’t need any of its participants writing future history books. If millions believe a falsehood to the point they’re willing to kill you or see you burned alive in fire forever that makes it very real.
This is what the “Liberal”(commie) trash and their globalist masters will bring here:
FK – The ‘welfare’ systems were designed to produce the results they are producing. What happens when you pay the stupid and lazy to breed? Any farmer knows you keep the best for breeding and sell the rest. The elites consider us to be livestock but they are only interested in compliant herd animals.
FK – Nothing will get better until amerika has men again that will make our domestic blood enemies answer for their evil in this world. Waiting for justice in the hereafter is a child’s quest.
The patriot movement won’t grow up until it learns to do three things:
Stop worrying about what our domestic blood enemies, our greatest enemies that have white skin and aren’t hiding in a cave on the other side of the world, including the mainstream newswhores, say about us. The last one of them to stretch a rope after the war crimes trials will still be lying as its last filthy breath spews out of its upper sewer.
Stop kowtowing to their “Liberal”(commie) trash ‘friends’ who vote to kill them every time they vote.
Stop being cowards and start openly declaring what will be required to fix this mess if it can be fixed: an extensive and thorough “Liberal”(commie) trash season whereby we eradicate enough of our natural born statist/authoritarian vermin to restore Liberty and the Bill of Rights
FK – You want to ‘heal’ the country? Really? Start by actually reading the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It says each state is guaranteed a ‘republican form of government,’ not ‘democracy.’ The word ‘democracy’ is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND in any of the Founding documents.
Democracy is another form of manipulation, like religion, designed to help keep the slaves working by convincing them they have a voice when they don’t, especially in the presidential race. Karl Marx wrote in his manifesto that “Democracy is the road to socialism.”
Surely these people are capable of realizing that the communist/globalist insurgency has long used minorities of all kinds to achieve their evil goals by deceiving them into thinking they are working toward ‘freedom’ when the opposite is their goal?
So what exactly would a ‘more perfect union’ entail? For some odd reason they don’t mention that. We can guess can’t we? Commie propaganda is typically feel good horse manure that doesn’t really say/mean anything but it’s still lapped up by the gullible who prefer a pretend easy solution to their problems or a ‘savior’ instead of waking up and growing up and taking personal responsibility for the world they exist in.
It’s time to demand Liberty.
What are you really pledging allegiance to?:
FK – I’m really disappointed that he didn’t mention the definition of the world ‘allegiance‘ and it’s root word ‘liege‘ and what it means:
The Wikipedia entry on the our ‘pledge of fealty‘ is interesting as well.
We should be teaching kids about patriotism, to human Liberty, not a piece of ground and certainly not to any government or a piece of cloth that long ago lost its meaning.
The American soldier or fighting man hasn’t fought a war for Liberty since 1865 and the bad guys won that one.
What does all this lead to?:
FK – Trump may be what so many seem to hope he is but I wouldn’t bet a moldy sandwich on it. Millions will vote for Trump for the same reason millions voted for the Marxist mutt. They want someone or some thing that strokes their emotions and makes them ‘feel’ better or ‘safe’ and that most of all alleviates them of real responsibility for what happens in the world around them.
FK – How many are arrogant “Liberal”(commie) trash that want to vote for Trump because they know it’s a ringer or a faker or a fellow traveler?
We want to think it’s because hitlery has actually admitted it wants to attempt to disarm the civilian population and thus start a civil war, that should be a restoration of the Bill of Rights and of human Liberty. I fear we and they will be disappointed.
But with so many among us that have this kind of mentality?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaUCm4cZi5g
FK – Where can I get a video game that lets me shoot video game creators?
In a country that calls this, the killing of real if misguided patriots, ‘entertainment,’ and votes for demagogues and those who use religion to gain the favor of the ignorant:
https://youtu.be/aCAkw3fgZeo
FK – “A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.” – Aristotle
No, I’m not calling Cruz a tyrant. He has a good to great voting record on some issues. I can’t trust his wife, a former wall streeter. GOA did endorse him and I might very well vote for him against a commiecrat. But when people vote based on their religion we have a real problem.
When ever some one or some creature demands you ‘fear’ them then you know it considers you to be a slave.
I could only stand to watch about half that last vid as I generally find political speeches to be a waste of time:
What they say during a campaign means nothing. Their records and affiliations, past and present, are all that matter.
FK – What if they’re doing it so they can use it on ‘terrorists?’ If every ‘immigrant,’ coming into the country were ran through a machine that wiped their little brain housing groups of the desire to die for allah or whatever sadistic asshole they worship would that be a good thing?
‘Human beings’ or ‘homo sapiens,’ loosely defined, are biological robots. I’ve seen too much reality to not understand this. I’ve seen truck drivers who’ve spent decades addicted to ‘gettin’ the load,’ at the price of their health and families, and factory workers that show up day after day, year after year, decade after decade, putting screw A in hole B but you couldn’t engage them in a conversation about anything that actually matters if their lives depended on it.
Similarly ‘christians,’ of various versions, sub-versions and subversions waste their time in this world waiting for the world to end with no real conception that they hold personal responsibility for what happens around them. And it’s perfectly OK with them if billions, including those they claim to love, get burned alive in fire forever by their sadistic god. And they have the audacity, or rather ignorance, to call eternal slavery vs. eternal torture a ‘choice.’
FK – I once said to a ‘believer’: “The bible says there was a war in heaven. That means there could be a war in heaven again.”
He agreed with me.
All these ideas of perfection amount to so much beating around the bush. What humans have always searched for is false security, a guarantee of their basic needs in a history of want. Religion was also handy for keeping the slaves working: “Be a good servant, you’ll have paradise in the next life,” or “You’re gonna get beamed up(raptured) soon so you don’t have to actually do anything about all the corruption in our govt. or the world,” and on and on.
