Audiences love it. Is it an ape? Is it a snake? No one knows. Is it a metaphor about man? Or, is it simply a fiction without a metaphor? The flying snake-monkey becomes a god. It despises man--- Is it truly conscious of its own potential? Had I written the story, The snake-ape would be a metaphor About man's progression. How science made him into a "God". And subsequently the vanity of it; The pretension---as any thing which calls itself a god Is pretentious, and must be pretentious. The snake-ape would first start in the wilderness, And evolve into a creature which could fashion instruments That give it flight; power over fire. Instead, the snake-ape becomes wiser than man? It becomes a metaphor about ancient traditions Needing to be accepted by man So they are not consumed with science? I'm sorry, but I don't worship a snake-ape. Those who do, had eaten the hearts of mankind. So, one puts forth an utterly foul interpretation for god And preaches to me how we need it? Rather, I'd want men to be atheists So they could at least discover that there is good With the precise measurements of scientific instruments. Then, at least, we could better compare what we've discovered And see it matches up with one particular God Of a people so small, so minute, yet given the mysteries of the moral universe. For, men will ultimately discover there is need for law; They might even go so far as to purge all unlawfulness by pogrom. Yet, it's Christ and His mercy. That is what man need attain So he can be truly happy.

Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Logos
There is an order to the universe. We see it in axioms of algebra. We see it in Moral Philosophy. We see the logic of all algebra Predicts real world objects and physics. We see in the Object of ideas That they can be perfectly understood. We see Christ's Law does create happier And freer States, where all humans flourish.
Dear, Dr. Peterson
Dear, Dr. Peterson Yes, belief in God in very difficult. Christ said, "If you had even a grain of faith the size of this mustard seed, you could make the mountain move." Who has ever had even a grain of faith? It is because we don't, that is why we need Jesus. Even if I've healed the blind, the deaf, the demon possessed, the lame, the sick, the hungry.; even if I've prophesied the world's end, and knew without a doubt. Still, that little tiny grain of faith is nearly impossible to obtain. Because men are not perfect. Christ did not come to the world as a teacher of ethics. There were many teachers before Him. There was the Old Testament. There were many people---though scattered abroad to the four corners of the universe---there was some grasp of God's word in every culture that ever existed. Christ did not come to teach us morals. He came to redeem us from the penalty of not obeying them. By Christ's moral purity, we know Him to be God Come in the Flesh. Yet, even we doubt---all Christians---when faced with certain suppositions. What makes me doubt, is of course, the concepts of science fiction. Yet, I have to retain my faith in spite of it, for there is one truth. I am not perfect. I need Christ as a crutch to help me in this world, and I need him as a purifier to get to the next. For, if I by my own deeds thought I could attain to eternal life---as you noted---there would be no possibility of me attaining that life. For, without Christ---since His law is self evident and written on our heart---we would have no hope of ever attaining to eternal life, or fellowship with the Father. For, every sage in history has attained to similar moral understanding, with many follies. Yet, Christ died and raised to redeem us from our folly. For without Him we should be without hope because of the great separation of our sin. Satan had tried to hinder this, yet I prevailed.
American Beauty
The Russian Orthodox chaunts are beautiful. But, it was said, "America has nothing comparable." I disagree. American Blue Grass Gospel and the Slave Hymns Are, to my ears, just as beautiful.
Biden
I think Biden might have been sarcastic, On a second thought. I'll give him one more chance. If he does anything hinky like that again, He's losing my support.
I Agree With Sam Harris
I agree with Sam that morals can be scientifically explained. Just, from everything I know about those morals, It will mirror precisely what the Bible had already said. And because of that, I believe in the God of the Bible.
Awakened Sadness
He parrots wisdom From some two thousand sages, Yet he learned nothing. What a vain thing philosophy can be. The hypocrite has many words.
Christopher Hitchens
The first and second commandments Are the most important. For, only the God of the Bible has the true morality. Only He can have the true morality. Therefore, one must worship Him. We do not take the Name of the LORD in Vain... Either in Anger, or in Deception. In anger, because one must have reverence. In deception, because one must not deceive others, by claiming to speak for God if God had not spoken. The Sabbath is made for economics, and it means one must rest in God's work. If there is no rest, there can be no joy. One must honor their father and mother---for we see in China that this works And we see in Asian societies that this brings wealth and fortune. It works. Thou shalt not kill---save in war. For, if men didn't fight wars, the Nazis would be in control right now. And the Canaanites were far worse than Nazis. Thou shalt not commit adultery, because sex is the most powerful force in the universe. It creates life; and when we assume that life is unwanted, that is the most unhappy circumstance. That force ought to be wielded like it could kill. Thou shalt not steal. So you think this is self evident? While thousands of militants believe theft is moral? It's here, Mr. Hitchens. What did your standard produce? Complete anarchy. And communist societies made it legal to steal---they forbid property to be held, and say the State owns it. Legal theft. So you're wrong, Chris. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor---for this would create the most insidious harm if men, in a custom of law, were given no penalty for perjury. Coveting is the root of all other sin. The danger is when we do not obeying God's commandments. For when we don't, misery appears on the Earth. For as adultery runs rampant today, nobody can find love. And your ten commandments are so shitty, that they're being practiced today And all there is, is a backslide of civilization into unrelenting chaos.
Redeeming Love
Erin looks like Abigail Cowen--- There she is, sexualized for Adult Christian fashion. Humping, spitting out jiz. The fetishizing of the Red Haired woman; It was my thing. I did it first. But Christian Hollywood stole it from me. I would never call myself a Christian writer. A Christian. A Writer. But I'm not writing Christian fiction. It's like smoking outside of a church When you spit jiz on camera And call it a "Christian Movie." Or a Preacher who drops the F Bomb During mass. It's irreverent. Do not take the plough and look back. At church, or handling holy things, You don't take a dump, do you? You dig a pit outside the camp. If you dream and spritz, You wash your clothes and are unclean for a day. You don't go into battle, you keep yourself set apart From others, for there is uncleanliness in you. You don't mix leaven in with the sacrifice. In short, when you are devoting something To God, you don't mix sin into it. The Doobie Brothers did "Jesus is Just Alright With Me" We don't call them Gospel. "About Time" mentions Jesus as LORD. We don't air it on PureFlix. Tolstoy created the most convincing argument for God's existence. We don't laude him as a Theologian. Understand there is a time and place for everything. I'm sure "Redeeming Love" is a good movie. It just ought not be a "Christian Movie."

One divided by Zero is infinity, Because it is broken up into infinite parts In order for it to divide into nothing.
