by Dr. Gerry Lower For all his meritless pomp and power, George is nothing but a puppet "anti-Christ" in the strings of right wing religious fundamentalists.... and biblical prophecy IS being fulfilled, but not in any way like the fundamentalists think.
This Christmas ...
"We are, I believe, among countries, the least Christian, the
least decent, the least compassionate, the least kind government on the
globe. Nowhere else can I think of does greed, power, corruption,
vengeance, bigotry, and hatred more rule the day under the guise of
Christianity and democracy than in the United States. Other nations with
"Christian" traditions, like Germany, France, Italy, and
England, at least have basic health care for their people and abhor the
death penalty."
Elaine Cassels, "This Christmas," December 24, 2003 (www.counterpunch.com)
The above statement is a remarkable example of human honesty in the face
of Roman religion's millennial lie - self-righteous conquest in the name
of the enlightened one - whom the Greeks referred to as the "Christos."
In keeping with Judeo-Roman tradition, America under George Bush is
dishonesty, ignorance, self-righteousness and belligerence personified. We
are like the guy who has conquered dozens of women ... proud of himself in
the midst of sin, thinking he is on top of manhood while residing on the
very bottom. What is this, if not uneducated adolescence?
For all his meritless pomp and power, George is nothing but a puppet
"anti-Christ" in the strings of right wing religious
fundamentalists, who in turn maintain Constantine's JudeoRoman lie, his
perverted fusion of Old Testament and Roman legalism with nascent
Christianity to produce New Testament self-righteous conquest in the name
of compassion. It is this millennial religious duping of the people that
has brought us to where we are, from tribal to national to global human
organization, good people doing bad things in the name of a larger good.
That lie was an evolutionary inevitability with the emergence of nascent
Christian philosophy in a ancient despotic world. That lie, and the
conquest-bent attitudes it has nourished, have blindly promoted the
exponential economic unification of the world's people and set the stage
for the emergence of a global political philosophy.
George Bush and his puppeteers and followers are religiously incorrigible,
transcendent of human knowledge and logic, above rethinking anything which
they already know with religious certainty. There will be no stopping the
cultural imperative which they have currently put in place. It will be
George the Burning Bush who will blindly fulfill religious prophecy, to
end by discrediting absolute legalism (which has traditionally linked
JudeoRoman theology and state economics and braced up imperialism,
colonialism and capitalism).
Thanks to George, religious legalism and crony capitalism will be
discredited from the global political arena ... forever, and the doors
will be fully open to a global democracy, a global human village and world
peace. We have an awakening American citizenry and a more highly-practiced
European citizenry to make it happen as the dust of apocalypse settles
back to earth.
Ours is not to stop Judgement Day. Ours is to survive it. We must, so as
to be around for the judging and able, for the first time, to actually
learn some things about morality and justice that transcend the despotic
rules of Abraham's primitive religion. There can be no other justification
for America's complete and total fall from Jefferson and Franklin's
Democracy and its roots in nascent Christian human rights.
To Elaine Cassels' trenchant analysis, we can add that capitalism's
America is, among the western democracies, the least well-educated, most
shallow, least intellectual, most ignorant, least thoughtful, most
self-righteous, least honest, most deceitful, least spiritual and most
destructive. We are the least family-oriented, least community-oriented,
least democracy-oriented nation in the western world. We have become,
under Bush's watch, just another wretched religious nation, justifying
whatever we please by employing the authority of capitalism's Abrahamic
god in the name of nascent Christian values. We look to be truly bad, too
bad for religious capitalism to ever recover from what it is certain to do
in the name of preserving itself.
Because the people have not yet found their global voice, and because we
still abide a script written millennia ago, we (and our hopes for freedom
and fairness and decency in the world) are trapped in an American
JudeoRoman world that understands nothing and fears everything. We are
caught up in a cultural evolutionary program that embraces all people on
earth, a program to which most of us must remain blind most of the time,
in order for the ancient western cultural program to complete itself, EOD,
end of data. The only possible outcomes are the fulfillment of religious
prophecy and, at the same time, the redirection of cultural evolution
toward global human self-comprehension and the emergence of humankind.
Think about it. There will be global singing and dancing. It will be
calmly rapturous. It will be honestly glorious. It will be heavenly in
scope to participate in the creation of an entirely new entity on the face
of the earth, an entity with infinite capacity for honesty and compassion
and doing good on this planet, an entity soon outstripping our current
abilities to foresee its capabilities and purposes.
Life is inherently complementary. The next millennia of cultural evolution
will be the flip-side of past millennia. It will involve turning the
traditional world upside down, so it is finally pointing up. With that
accomplished, cultural evolution will be in our own hands and dedicated to
the emergence of a global human village, a global earth garden and a
global embrace of deity on earth. We have come so far and we have yet so
far to go.
Life is, in fact, just beginning. Life is always just beginning.
Life is all that Life knows. Life comes of itself - from the inside out.
That is why Jesus and Jefferson taught us to think for ourselves.
The world is still running according to plan, with no where to go but up.
Think about it, and have a meaningful next Christmas, a nascent Christian
Christmas, as all Christmas's were meant to be.
