Today, Christmas Day, God gave us his Son whose life would be sacrificed for our salvation. Hopefully we do not lose sight of such a significant commitment to our survival and salvation. Yet, there seems to be an unsettling hypocrisy when you consider that we, like Jesus, are also the sons and daughter of God.
If God is our Creator, provider, progenitor and protector, and we are God’s creations, then why do we foolishly keep doing things to abrogate, denigrate, deprecate, expostulate, abominate, emasculate, and violate the Divine Law of God?
I mean our Declaration of Independence, founding document, says we are “under God.” Then it is reinforced by stamping “In God We Trust” on our currency. As if that is not clear, we stated, “One nation, under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all” in our Pledge of Allegiance.
Could there be any doubt as to the intent of our Founding Fathers? We were guaranteed “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” as long as it is consistent with our human laws, and as long as they are consistent with God’s Divine Law.
No group of people, creations of the Creator, whether identified by religious, cultural, race, gender, or wealth, can claim to speak for God, but the Creator is inclusive of all of them.
One reckons if we were really living by God’s law, we would intuitively know it, no matter how much people tried to manipulate it. Of course, there will always be those who try to manipulate it for their own selfish reasons.
Ironically, God’s Law also says we are not the judge and jury for the violators of God’s Law. That is God’s role. We should accommodate people, tolerate people, communicate with people, honor their right to think like they do, and if any of that gets too difficult for you to tolerate, stay away from those people.
So, if you are one of the many of political fanatics of the radical right or more radical left, and you are scouring the internet and social media every day to find anyone who dares to oppose you and your opinions, or those opinions you were told to say because you lost the art of forming your own words and opinions, then you are a stalker in search of your next victim.
There is nothing greater in the life of a political stalker than to crush someone who disagrees. So consumed are they with their armchair philosophy and beloved knack for intellectual constipation that nothing on earth matters more. What a shame.
People blinded by rage and hate are morally suicidal, egotistically consumed, spiritually bankrupt and pretty miserable to hang around. Thank goodness most radical political assaults occur in cyberspace so only your pride, ego and mind are beaten up leaving your body largely intact.
However, the very fact you are a victim means you were one of the radical lost souls looking for someone to tongue-lash in the first place. You probably never expected to encounter the bionic tongue of blasphemy on line using vicious words and illogical arguments to crush you.
Here’s a news flash – you both are on the wrong side of Divine Law, there will be no winners at this game. Your addiction to the virtual world where you can escape from all reality and even recreate yourself with false names and information is enough to cause you serious problems, long after you depart this life.
When you use your virtual platform to attack others, that is double-jeopardy. You are addicted to the virtual world, and addicted to hate. Now the only way you could possibly be willing to give up God for social media and risk your happiness for all of eternity by attacking people (or simply hating them), is to embrace the dark side .
Risking eternity for the self-serving task of humiliating someone who does not agree with you seems like a rather reckless undertaking.
Mind you, when you pursue such a path, not only do you drag yourself into the abyss but you are also touching everyone around you with the kiss of spiritual death by dumping your negativity on them.
No matter how you cut it, you are far removed from the very enlightenment you claim to pursue. A hypocrite is too kind a label, because they spend most of their time just hurting themselves. You, on the other hand, as a self-declared pious preacher of good, use your forum to do the work of the dark side.
No one should be opposed to people having different opinions. However, no differing opinions should be accentuated with an underlying message of hate. Disagreeing is not a license to destroy, and destroying is quite a deviation from Divine Law.
There is plenty of room in Dante’s nine circles of Hell to accommodate all those seeking asylum in the asylum of Hell if that is your intent. In fact, the sooner you get there the better for the rest of us. But are you really in control of yourself and speaking for yourself when you spout hate and attack differing views?
Or are you simply another weak victim of the dark side hiding your fears behind the bravado of your mouth as you sink deeper and deeper into the void from which there can be no salvation and no return, but total obliteration as if you never even existed in the first place.
It is never to late to ask Jesus or God for help, but you cannot continue to drift down without passing the point of no return and condemning yourself to nothingness.
In summary, when you feel the need to shoot off your mouth, pen or post, be careful what message you transmit and the intent you attach to it. Your words and actions will seal your fate for all time.
