Well.. the hypocrisy thing is pretty universal
and hardly the sole province of Christians, although certain of the now countless sects appear to possess the concentration-gene for this heady hallucinant of self-forgetfullness. Why at extremes: some are even known to completely forget, vengeance is mine, saith __ .. let alone that cute one about beams/motes (or throwing stones)
But whether or not a 'Christian' is really BEING a Christ-ian comes out in certain visible behavioural artifacts IMO: the Greed-is-Good thing (or not?) .. Gosh, was Ronnie a Christian?
More importantly re smaller matters.. like, say - survival of the species, all the billions - is the *cough* Elitism-thing. Promulgating a pre-packaged theology of Exclusion:
Whereby all those who do not buy the 'home' or Commercial Version, after removing the shrink-wrap [ie akshully Reading all the barbaric stuff intermixed amidst countless contradictions, and with the Love stuff - so evidently honored vastly more in its breach than its performance] -- all those Other billions get consigned to a Xian Hell thing.
Those scribes and their Editors accomplished quite imaginitive feats, presumably without the aid of authentic Bad Acid, No?
Ah well, Fellow Elitist - I admit I'm one too; indeed I acknowledge a preference for folks who actually Use their fucking Gawd-given minds - both intellectual AND emotional - in dealing with the Grand Mysteries (and I even like to see in such a one.. a clear appreciation of how it is that committees of Men-type homo saps are utterly incapable of Not-garbling the really Heavy stuff on ANY topic.)
Because {pious chords in C# Minor}
I. have. looked. on. these. Men. {/chords}
and I see at near-#2 CIEIO spot:
a wretched textbook-misogynist; you know: the really Popular guy who spawned what came to be a whole new tiny country/city in what is now called 'Italy'? Probably impotent and decidedly infected with diseased attitudes towards all Not-him, (and especially if they had a vagina) - can ya really found a Massive Corporation around an emotional cripple?
Why.. YES!
You can.. for a lengthy period, but -
at what cost in near-universally diseased mental health and the wars generated by Being the Only Right Ones\ufffd?
OK - Over to Elitist #2
er :-\ufffd
