Kicking Ass and Taking Names

President Trump has banned our transgendered brethren from military service. An excerpt from this morning’s tweet storm states the reason why:

“Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming. Victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”

War is an existential event.

That means the loser gets conquered and their culture gets enslaved and snuffed off the face of the earth.

Consequently, a military must be composed of as many bad asses (forgive the military lingo, por favor) as possible and have a lean, mean organization out on the battlefield.

In conclusion, President Trump’s order banning our transgender brethren from the military, is about keeping the US military free of the social decay now plaguing Western Culture.

Another Scientific Victory for God

Researchers at Harvard University encoded a movie into bacterial DNA and then decoded it for playback.

The feat was accomplished with CRISPR/Cas 9 gene editing technology which was developed from the immune system of the E. coli bacteria.

What does this stupendous feat have to do with God?

The existence of God can be inferred from the information that is contained and processed within living organisms.

CRISPR/Cas 9 technology allows human beings to edit the information found naturally within the cells of living creatures.

This means that the information found within each cell of every living creature is expressed as a coherent language.

From science we know that language is a hallmark sign of intelligence.

Consequently, it is crystal clear that the language of life indicates the intelligence of the One who wrote the language in the first place.

Of course, the atheist will predictably respond that ET did it.

But where did ET come from?

Why American Healthcare Needs a Return to Free Market Capitalism

If healthcare is a human right and to be given free of charge, why isn’t man’s need to eat thought about and treated in the same manner?

By and large, access to food is so abundant that obesity, not starvation is the larger problem.

Why is this so?

This is so because the food industry is driven by free market capitalism.

Free market capitalism has brought nearly endless variety and abundance to the poor and rich alike and for affordable prices!

In fact, the American supermarket is a fantastic, visible and understandable example of the wonder of free market capitalism.

Now imagine a healthcare system that provided almost endless abundance and variety of healthcare at affordable prices.

Just as with the food industry, free market capitalism would provide so much healthcare that people would hardly ever worry about it again.

This is way ObamaCare must be repealed and NOT replaced.

Repeal ObamaCare and scrap all the regulations put into place since World War II and let the healthcare market run free.

Good people, capitalism, that is the actual creation of wealth and prosperity is a natural law of economics.

Way back in the 18th century American philosopher Adam Smith wrote a book called the Wealth of Nations.

That book is not about dogma.

It is a grand collection of observations about the newly forming, modern industry marketplace where goods and services were created and manufactured.

One of Smith’s observations was the astonishing, almost unimaginable increase in productivity of goods and services coming into being due to industrialization and organization of labor.

The healthcare industry, if left to the laws which govern free market economics, would also undergo unimaginable increases in productivity of goods and services at affordable prices.

Such an environment of innovation and plenty would allow the insurance industry to offer very affordable policies that covered catastrophic illnesses.

Good people, for this to happen we have to get rid of leftist, tyrant politicians.

The Chuck Schumers, the Mitch McConnells, the John McCains and the Paul Ryans have to be voted out of office and replaced with people who actually wish to, and will represent the interests of their voters.

What say you?

Do you have faith in the laws of economics which govern free markets (capitalism).

The Political Science Behind President Trump’s Tweets.

President Trump has shaken the world of politics by taking to social media and tweeting up a storm.  His latest and greatest tweet to date (which takes CNN to task) has gone from simple text to a multimedia.

Admittedly, after viewing this the Silence of Mind was rocked by uproarious laughter. But to those who oppose THE Donald, this latest communique via tweet was an absolute outrage.

Here is a link to an article posted at the Daily Caller showing some of the outrage.

But is there a method to this genius?

Yes, there is.

And it can be found in Niccolò Machiavelli’s, “The Prince,” written over 500 years ago. The political philosophy described in the “The Prince” is the blue print for success in modern day politics.

“Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good, and use that knowledge, or refrain from using it, as necessity requires.”  ― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

Put simply, nice guys not only finish last, but they are utterly destroyed by those who will do whatever it takes to achieve and maintain political power.

President Donald Trump is using brazen language and humor as a communication device to destroy the leftist Mainstream Media’s strangle hold on their opposition.

In quintessential American fashion, THE Donald is using his great intellect and his freedom of speech to destroy his opponents, simply by not being nice.

Unbelievable!

 

The Book of Tobit-Ancient Storytelling from the Bible

Storytelling was how the ancients transmitted hard won wisdom and cultural values among themselves and down through the ages.

For example, the Iliad and the Odyssey attributed to the ancient bard Homer, tell about manhood, family values, honor, friendship, loyalty, the way of the warrior, weakness, strength, pride, rage and much more.

The Old Testament is a collection of ancient stories from Hebrew authors that tell about the nature of God, man and universe. These stories proved so powerfully true that down through the millennia, they became mankind’s gold standard for ethics, morals and how to live the best possible life.

The Book of Tobit provides great wisdom for Christian disciples in that it teaches the proper disposition for prayer in times of trouble. It teaches that marriage begins and functions through prayer. It teaches about courage and heartbreak and breakdown in the face of the grave troubles that beset people as they go through life.

Yours truly, Silence of Mind has read these stories as the Word of God, before the congregation at Catholic Mass.

Silence of Mind, being an excellent storyteller (no brag, just fact), moved both himself and the congregation to tears of sadness and joy during the recounting of these ancient stories.

The story presents two prayers, one from a man, the other from a woman. Both man and woman are beset by woe so profound that they both wished their lives to end.

Tobit’s prayer has much the same form as the Lord’s Prayer, given to mankind by Jesus.  Tobit begins by glorifying God, than asks for forgiveness of his sins then presents his cause.

Sarah, who was thinking of hanging herself out of shame, reconsidered and presented her prayer to God.  It had the same form as Tobit’s prayer and the Lord’s Prayer beginning by blessing God:

“Blessed are you, O Lord, merciful God,
and blessed is your holy and honorable name.
Blessed are you in all your works for ever!”

In the Book of Tobit we can see the echo of the future Messiah Jesus. A marriage figures prominently in the Book of Tobit and Jesus’ first miracle occurred at the Wedding Feast of Cana.

 

 

58 New Peer Reviewed Studies = No Global Warming

Supporters of global warming have always demanded peer reviewed studies showing evidence that Earth climate is not in crisis. Courtesy of German scientists come 58 new pier reviewed climate studies.  The studies include 80 graphs showing climate data from around the world.

Of particular interest are the graphs of Arctic and Antarctic climate over the last several centuries.  They show a long term cooling trend and ancient temperatures that precede by centuries any of man’s industrial activities.

Ten years ago global warming guru Al Gore predicted that we would all be suffering from massive, continuous heat waves.

Of course as anyone can see, that prediction turned out to be totally bogus.

The inconvenient truth is that global warming is a hoax and it is long past time for people the world over to clean up the swamp and vote any and all global warmers out of public service.

Thank God (and the American voter) for President Donald Trump!

Truth and the God is Dead Christian

Ironically, the philosophy of atheist philosopher Fredrick Nietzsche is particularly helpful to Christians who struggle to reason out an understanding of their faith. Unfortunately, not many Christians bother to reason out an understanding of their faith.

And that is unfortunate because without a basis in reason what we believe in is really a fairy tale constructed around our own personal bias.

This state of affairs, according to Nietzsche, means that the “truth” is nothing more than an interpretation of what we perceive and that a person, instead of dedicating himself to endless, gyrating interpretations, would be much better served dedicating himself to himself.

That is, through understanding himself and the way he interprets things, the person discovers his talents, weaknesses and so forth, and how he may best fit into his surrounding and most of all, discover how best to enjoy his life.

The God is dead Christian is someone who contorts his mind and heart into his personal interpretation of what he perceives Christianity to be (who doesn’t do that?). Since this is essentially life by fairy tale, Nietzsche claims that God too must be a fairy tale, and so, isn’t really alive for us.

Nietzsche was brilliant, original and sincere.  And he followed his philosophy straight into the abyss of madness.

The God is dead Christian is abundantly evident in every nook and cranny of Western Civilization and seems completely oblivious to his part in Christian Civilization crashing down around everyone’s ears.

What to do?

Explaining the Bible to Atheists

All was going so well at John Zande’s place until I started to explain the meaning of a few of the Bible verses to a fellow who I affectionately call, Professor T’Bo’ which is French for Professor Taboo.

Good John Zande began deleting my explanations of holy scripture and replaced them with gay nude pictures of our Lord.  He even threw in a few THE Donald memes.

And one of the other atheists scared the daylights out of me when he told me I wasn’t going to be saved.

It was when I was going to respond by asking how a big atheist dummy like him could possibly know such a thing when I discovered that John Zande…

…had banned me from making further comments on his site.

It kills me when I can’t call someone a dummy when they so richly deserve it.

That was right after another atheist accused me of blasphemy for conveying a teaching of Saint John Paul II, Pope which states that in coming to know God, we come to know ourselves. The atheist read that and thought I was claiming to be God. Four other atheists “liked” her comment.

Consequently, I feel it is my duty to continue explaining the meaning of certain Bible scripture that atheists parade as examples of just how contemptible they opine the Bible to be.

Evidently, someone paraded those same Bible verses in front of them sometime in their impressionable past and it turned them against the most valuable source of wisdom in the world.

Below is Professor T’Bo’s list of Bible verse that he finds offensive.

I am going to explain the meaning of two of the verses and I invite other Christians to explain the other verses, or expand upon the two verses that I have chosen to explain.

Courtesy of Professor T’Bo’:

“Since we’ve been discussing “the Book” here — which Book exactly is still completely unanswered — if I may, I would like to share some quotes from the 325 CE Nicaean Protestant Book/Bible (the CJB version) for consideration:

“If men are fighting with each other, and the wife of one comes up to help her husband get away from the man attacking him by grabbing the attacker’s private parts with her hand, you are to cut off her hand; show no pity.” — Deut. 25:11-12

“Yes, she lusted after their male prostitutes, whose members are like those of donkeys and who ejaculate like stallions.” — Ezekiel 23:20

“The daughter of a cohen who profanes herself by prostitution profanes her father; she is to be put to death by fire.” — Leviticus 21:9

“I will reject your seed; I will throw dung in your faces, the dung from your festival offerings; and you will be carted off with it.” — Malachi 2:3

“But if the charge is substantiated that evidence for the girl’s virginity could not be found; then they are to lead the girl to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her town will stone her to death, because she has committed in Isra’el the disgraceful act of being a prostitute while still in her father’s house. In this way you will put an end to such wickedness among you.” — Deut. 22:20-21

“I will cause them to eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters; everyone will be eating the flesh of his friends during the siege, because of the shortage imposed on them by their enemies and those set on killing them.” — Jeremiah 19:9

“Whoever attacks his father or mother must be put to death.” — Exodus 21:15

“…and if there is something they want to know, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak out in a congregational meeting.” — I Cor. 14:35

“If a person beats his male or female slave with a stick so severely that he dies, he is to be punished; except that if the slave lives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his property.” — Exodus 21:20-21

“A blessing on anyone who seizes your babies and smashes them against a rock!” — Psalm 137:9

“A leak that keeps dripping on a rainy day and the nagging of a wife are the same – whoever can restrain her can restrain the wind or keep perfume on his hand from making itself known.” — Proverbs 27:15-16

“Don’t suppose that I have come to bring peace to the Land. It is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword!” — Matthew 10:34″

God Has a Hard On for the Poor

Silence of Mind recounts a true-life story where the disciple (yours truly) is presented with his very own MISSION FROM GOD.

Silence of Mind being neither of sound mind or body but none the less, a hardy survivor of the great American Bible Belt, does bear witness to the workings of  God most merciful.And whereas, most devout Christian men hallucinate themselves to be great Pauline preachers of the Gospel of Wisdom, God has laid his heavy hand on the back of Silence of Mind so that he might crawl on his belly like a reptile, his speech being merely the soundless flicking of forked tongue.

“Woe to you who come under the spell of the wily priest.” – anonymous

Many moons ago, I went to Confession to be absolved of my sins.  The priest as is usual gave me penance (an activity, action or prayer of atonement).  I was to do a favor, a kindness for someone.  The catch was that I couldn’t cook up the act of kindness myself.  I had to wait for any random someone to ask me for it.

“Oh brother!” I thought, “What if my sister asks to cut her lawn, rake all the leaves and clean her house?”

I’ll have to say yes, and then my goose will be cooked for the rest of my life.  God couldn’t be so cruel and heartless could he?

DON’T ANSWER THAT QUESTION!

The next day I was driving through the wilderness to the nearest town whose size was large enough for a super Walmart.

When lo and behold someone was standing out in the middle of road flagging me down. Traffic was nearly nonexistent on that early Sunday morning so I felt bound to stop and find out what was what.

It turns out that the young man in the middle of road had attended a nearby secret wilderness rave the night before, and he had become so stinking, blackout drunk that everyone just up and left him after the rave had run its course.  He was hungry and deserted and in bad need of a ride back to town.

Immediately I remembered my Penance promise to help the next person who asked me for a favor.

Apparently, God wanted me to provide better than Uber taxi service for a stinking drunk whose friends didn’t think enough of him to load him up in one of their own vehicles and take him home after the night’s drug fueled revelry.

When I say “stinking drunk” I am not being mean.  That kid STUNK.  In fact, he stunk so bad that his rank odor was glued to the interior walls of my sweet little pick up truck for over three weeks!

During the ride back to town, the stinking kid must have sensed my utter disgust. Yes, I was a slave of the Lord but that stinking kid was utterly disgusting anyway. His odor really got to me and I suppose I was having just a little trouble concealing my visceral disdain for his putrefaction.

He asked me if everything was okay.

I replied quite seriously, “For me, today, you are the will the God.”

Gay Rights In Action

A student at the University of Texas Arlington was bullied into suicide by his gay accuser and a university administrator who appointed herself as judge and jury.  The poor student carried out his own execution yesterday, Monday, April 11, 2017.

The full story is here.

“Thomas Klocke, a straight male, was accused by a gay male student of writing anti-gay slurs on his computer during a class.”

The university went after Klocke without due process, thus violating its own sexual harassment policies and the modern Western tradition of a hearing or trial.

There was no evidence presented by the accuser.

The accused was not allowed to mount a legal defense.

This case demonstrates what the gay rights agenda is all about:

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE RULE OF LAW

The university administrator responsible for this travesty acted legally.

That is because universities are set up just like the United States government.

All power exists in the hands of administrators (that’s a fancy word for bureaucrat). The right to accuse, judge and punish is in the hands of one person.

Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College provides an in-depth comparison of America as it was founded and America as it is now, an administrative state:
