Comment of the day.

Posted on by

We are marching joylessly with smiles plastered on our faces less the nomenkultura see that we think.

We are all Proles now … or so they tell us. Time to read, or re-read, Brave New World. As Mustapha Mond explains succinctly to John Savage, the secret is to keep the proles in a continual state of adolescence, when nothing is interesting or important except taking off your clothes and spewing obscenity (much as you did, in fact, when you were two). When this is extended to the whole society, it is easy to keep everyones attention away from all that they have lost or abandoned, or that is not offered anymore. Just try suggesting to anyone, for example, that good manners used to require a curbing of ones saltier language in the presence of ladies, and you will get barraged with potty-talk requests to go back to your nursing home. As Brave New World demonstrated in the 1940s, focus the immature on sex and drugs and entertainment featuring both, and you can do what you like with the world. That is what we have now.

Divorce costs

Posted on by

People divorce for many reasons. But expecting perfection — which seems to be in the feminist zeitgest — is just stupid. For no one is perfect. This comment discusses the cost.

It’s nothing to be happy about: It’s just sad.

My ex is my age (mid-late 30?s), and unlike me, is single. She had a string of bad relationships and was heartbroken by one guy who treated her like garbage.

I heard from one common friend that she made a huge mistake getting a divorce- well, actually she said she “might have made a mistake”, but our friend said what she said and what she meant were two different things.

She’s unhappy, no longer the hot babe she was when we married, few men she wants give her attention, and in the meantime, my career has developed, I’ve become much more interesting as a person, and I’ve had to work hard at it – it took six months to even leave my apartment after we divorced.

Not that I’d go back, but had we stayed married, our lives would be very different. I feel badly now that her mistake cost her so much; she’s a genuinely good person, and not some vicious, bitter harpy. But her expectations were great. She was a very active feminist. She still is, from what I know.

I think feminism really played on her weaknesses.

It’s just sad.

The denigration of marriage by the liberal elite, by the way, is a lie that they do not follow — they raise their children quite conservatively and have all their assets tied up in family trusts.

Divorce, modern style is for the narod. The nomenklutura leave it to the low rent who believe the message they are preaching to keep the narod dependent on them.

Errors and the mob

Posted on by

There are two errors that are described here.

The first is worshiping the miracle workers. This temptation may not be just sacrifices, but putting the teaching of that person before Christ.

The second is saying that God is wrong and we will stone him

Acts 14

8In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been crippled from birth. 9He listened to Paul as he was speaking. And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And the man sprang up and began to walk. 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” 12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates; he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifice. 14When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting, 15″Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. 16In past generations he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways; 17yet he has not left himself without a witness in doing good – giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filling you with food and your hearts with joy.” 18Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.

John 10

31The Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?” 33The Jews answered, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, though only a human being, are making yourself God.” 34Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35If those to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’ – and the scripture cannot be annulled – 36can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me. 38But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39Then they tried to arrest him again, but he escaped from their hands.

We have to be careful about worshiping the preacher to the model of God we call theology.
