Following the mass shooting in Florida, there was NO surge in gun sales (which is not normally the case—usually gun sales skyrocket after mass shootings in anticipation of more gun control laws being enacted), as conservatives and gun owners were confident that their constitutional right to keep and bear arms was not in jeopardy: Donald Trump would make sure of that.
But as I have tried to warn people, Donald Trump has no core convictions; he has no center; he has no moral compass; and he is a dish rag when it comes to the Constitution. Of the sixteen gun control bills in Congress that I referenced in my October, 2017, column, Trump is now actively supporting at least ten of them.
In Trump’s highly publicized round-table discussion with members of Congress from both parties (including radical gun control zealots such as Dianne Feinstein), Trump announced that he favors implementing several additional gun control laws, including banning bump stocks (and similar “modifiers”), more background checks for gun purchases—including adding a variety of “mental health” screenings—and implementing the “Fix NICS” bill (a longtime goal of gun grabbing Democrats like Schumer and Feinstein).
FK – It was the rifle in the hands of the militiamen that could kill British Officers 300 yards away that made them superior. It was superior in that regard to the smoothbore muskets carried by British infantrymen.
As usual, watch it then read the comments and FOLLOW THE LINKS to understand. I’m adding this to my columns page as so few seem to get this…

FK – Authority is only determined by those willing and capable of projecting the force necessary to establish/maintain it.
The ‘source’ of ‘right and wrong’ matters’ immensely. A ‘source’ that condones eternal torture in fire will differ much from one that says there should be no such thing. Even more difference will stem from any source that establishes some form of caste system whether it is religious or secular based.
That’s why our human flawed Founders established a secular govt. that recognized our natural born right to fight back against and kill those who would replace it by whatever means.
There is no right to work covertly or overtly to enslave those around you via force nor some ancient guilt trip.
All law is opinion just as politics is human nature and vice versa. All the ancient ‘law’ regardless of source was someone’s opinion as to what should or shouldn’t be whether it came from some desert scribe or some ‘god’ imagined by such or some ‘higher power’ of the universe that dabbled in our origins and probably still does.
It’s my opinion that no one has the right to disarm me. It’s a popular opinion that ‘the pen is mightier than the sword.’ But that’s only true if the pen has enough swords to back up its ink with blood.
We outnumber them. If we ever learn that…
I don’t think many elected public servants are smart enough to have a god complex. Most of them are there just to put another feather in their caps or make money or gain power. Their usually watered down pretentious ideologies come second to survival, as with most sheeple.
I think the Libertarians are right when they claim the only ‘morals’ that matter is whether or not I’m truly damaging another person or their property. All else is eternal do-gooders and goody-two-shoes types trying to force their version, sub-version or subversion of such, really ignorance based fear, on all around them.
it’s great to love one’s neighbor but one should always be ready, willing and able to kill them. True anarchy would necessitate doing so to many.
We’ve been making laws of/from myth since the beginning. Someone long ago looked around at the chaos in the cave or the village and said “I can’t take this anymore,” and together with his buddies grabbed the ‘evil doers’ and rolled them around in the fire for a while for the rest of the clan to see thus the ‘new cave order’ was born.
Since then it’s been all about who’s willing/able to expend the force necessary to gain the high ground, build the castle in whatever form it takes and stay on top until someone else decides to muster the courage to play king of the hill.
All this was supposed to be moot but my own experience in watching this crap for 30+ years sadly informs me that the average dumbass has a very incomplete understanding of the form of govt. we’re supposed to have here with its Bill of Rights, mirrored by several states, that tells us we first have the duty and responsibility to kill the bastards when they over step their bounds.
The bounds are now so far in our past few even know they exist. We lost our republic to the original party of big govt. in the 1860s but few ‘conservatives’ can bring themselves to get over their worship of their party’s demigod, which modern commies admire too btw…
An ancient Hebrew bronze age god allegedly told his ‘chosen people’ that “an eye for an eye” is a good thing, or maybe they stole it from someone else, then his son later allegedly told his followers not to resist evil yet nowadays it’s thought a good thing that our ‘troops’ travel overseas and kill in the name of such because our govt. orders it. Oh what a tangled web.
Years back in a classroom set up to indoctrinate young teachers I told a mother that it was her right to allow someone to come into her home at 3 am and rape, torture and murder her children in front of her if she chose but she had no right to force such on me.
Yet their master told them he comes first and they must condone their loved ones being tortured alive in fire forever if he decides that’s what’s best according to his ‘wisdom.’
The tool-using monkeys are still evolving. We must not kid ourselves that we are any different from any generation of the past that we now look back upon and wonder “How did they do/believe such crazy things?”
As our ancestors conquered we must be ready to defend or we will be conquered. Or maybe we already have been.
Why are we pushing democracy when we’ve lost our Liberty?
“Democracy is the road to socialism.” – Karl Marx
So when will the republicrats repeal the 16th amendment and the evil gun laws and pass a constitutional amendment to ban socialism?
Why are we REFORMING COMMUNISM? WHY is NO ONE asking WHY we HAVE an income tax?
Democracy is evil, another form of manipulation, two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch. Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote and killing the wolves. We MUST DEMAND LIBERTY!
Millions will dig the ditch they are told to dig then wet their pants when the machine gun bolts slam home and die stupidly wondering “How did this happen to me?” The tiny minority will have to do what will be required.
It’s time to stop arguing over the culture war. It’s time to stop hunkering down for the apocalypse. It’s time to stop waiting to get beamed up. It’s time to start thinking Normandy.
If you sit home waiting your turn you deserve to have your gun taken from your cold dead hands.
The Founders didn’t wait for the Brits to knock down their doors. They gathered at the green and stood up like men and they killed government employees all the way back to Boston.
What will you do when it’s time to hunt NWO hacks, republicrats and commies(‘Liberals’ and ‘progressives’)?
And still they’re proving me right:

FK – Oh let’s hope so. The mushheads in the middle won’t go for that. The hard core commies and their parasites of course would vote for a 3 headed satan…
After seeing so many of them agree to that shit it proves that it should be legal to immediately put a bullet in their heads as soon as they agree to it.
In their ignorance ‘christians’ of whatever version, sub-version or subversion believe their religion is the same as that practised by ‘christians’ of the past when in fact the interpretation of ‘god’s word’ is cultural, has changed, or evolved, over time and will continue to change, probably until the ancient tribal propaganda is completely re-written at some point when ‘believers’ can’t lie about their obvious contradictions any more such as modern churches being full of re-married divorcées or denominations that allow female preachers or active homosexual members.
Atheists in their educated intelligence arrogantly think they will somehow convince ‘believers’ to give up their beliefs, blind faith, ignorance, fear of a sadistic god who will ‘save’ them from all the things they fear and don’t understand. Bzzzz. Wrong answer. As stated above religion has evolved over time and will continue to do so. Christmas cards that proclaim ‘Peace on Earth’ in celebration of a ‘saviour’ that allegedly said, “I did not come to bring peace but a sword…” will likely still be mailed, emailed or texted or posted on social sites for some time to come because most sheeple would rather die than think.
Blind faith is one of the most repulsive things I know of…
FK – Of course ‘christians’ will claim Jesus changed all this. Did he really?
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. – Matthew 5:17
Of course that’s cherry picking a verse to prove a point. But ‘believers’ do that all the time, all while denying all the contradictions in the ancient tribal propaganda.
FK – Just think, if the ‘interpretation’ of the ancient tribal propaganda so many pretend to follow here were to change, we could have similar laws.
“Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death” (v. 16). –– Leviticus 24:10–16
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew Chapter 5
We are not so very far away from those whom we criticize. If not for the vagaries and chance of history we could be worse.
In many places free speech is ‘an unpardonable offense”:
FK – Corporate workaholic assholes that run companies like fakebook only care about one thing: money and the power that comes with it. It’s an addiction. They are usually blinded to all else.
If the ancient tribal propaganda that so many pretend to follow in this country was now interpreted in a similar way we’d see similar activities here. I see comments on the net all the time, if they’re not trolls, that tell me we’re still a very primitive species and we exist in a very dark and dangerous age and could easily backslide a few hundred years into a new inquisition.
I call them the unmentionables. In a free country there’s no such thing as a group whose motives cannot be questioned. When we have that we have a serious problem. We have a serious problem. In fact we have several.
In 2015, according to our best estimate, there were 3.3 million Muslims of all ages in the U.S., or about 1% of the U.S. population. Pew Research Center’s 2014 Religious Landscape Study (conducted in English and Spanish) found that 0.9% of U.S. adults identify as Muslims. A 2011 survey of Muslim Americans, which was conducted in English as well as Arabic, Farsi and Urdu, estimated that there were 1.8 million Muslim adults (and 2.75 million Muslims of all ages) in the country. That survey also found that a majority of U.S. Muslims (63%) are immigrants.
FK – How many of our real enemies are there here?:
FK – Of course ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ are simply key terms, cute names, the amerikan communist insurgency took on to hide their real evil identity:
FK – It’s one insanity vs. another, vs. another… Our universities are full of Marxists and we stress over brown-skinned fundie ragheads hiding in caves on the other side of the world.
The proof is in the comments on this vid.
Once again my standard answer to such:
Let’s make amerika free again!
Are we ready for the outcome of voting for the lesser of two evils, and eventually getting more evil than we can handle?
Is there a militia force in your county yet? Why not? Are you afraid of the ‘m’ word that’s in the Second Amendment?
Who’s our greatest enemy? Those who build the Trojan Horse or those who open the gate?
Nothing will get better until we stop worrying so much about the fundie ragheads and start rounding up and at the least deporting our real enemies, our domestic enemies.
So who or what is our real enemy? A tiny no. of fundies who manage to kill a few mush heads now and again or our own white home-grown “Liberal”(commie) trash that works relentlessly to disarm and thus fully enslave millions?
What will we do when a commie SCOTUS rules it’s OK for the “Liberal”(commie) trash, our real enemies, to demand we ‘turn them in?’ How many cowards will comply? Those are the questions that matter.
What’s an ‘illegal gun?’ Those two words are nowhere to be found in the Second Amendment. A right applied for is a privilege.
Was the last ‘mass shooting’ site a ‘gun free zone?” Why are commiefornia and others still ‘may issue’ states? Why do we seek ‘permission’ to exercise the most basic right any creature possesses, that of self defense?
If the Marxist mutt and other commie extremists that call themselves ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ tell us to surrender our weapons and thus our most basic right, they’ll find out what blood really is.
The most important ‘private property’ anyone owns is their own life, health, safety, and no one, anywhere, anytime has the ‘right’ to take that from them or deny them their most basic right, that of self defense.
We all get the elected public servants the brain dead sheeple deserve.
I’ll vote for the candidate that will bring the troops home, activate the militias, and re-invade and re-conquer commiefornia and the other commie enclaves on the left and East coasts.
They’re not ‘leftists,’ ‘liberal’ or ‘progressive.’ They’re communists/globalists. They want us disarmed so we can’t kill them when enough finally wake up to the necessity of doing so.
Our Liberty is dying because of our failure to hunt the “Liberal”(commie) and globalist trash to extinction.
FK – All that happens is ‘god’s will’ and god only does ‘good’ thus the holocaust, and the 200 million killed by Marxists in the 20th century were all good things, right.?
The Nazis opposed the Bolshevik Jews who were working to communize the world as are their ideological descendants, the ‘reform Jews’ and the ‘progressives’ and ‘liberals’ and ‘sjws’ and whatever other cute name they come up with.
The Nazis were still authoritarians, like the fundie ragheads and like the amerikan communist insurgency and like most hard corps religious nuts who try in one way or another to force their version, sub-version or subversion on others either at the point of a gun or sword or by threatening them psychologically with eternal torture or eternal death or being ‘cast into outer darkness’ or whatever.
FK – Milo is political toast. He crossed the line on the biggest taboo there is….
This isn’t about pedophilia or Nazis or commie or Catholic pedophiles but about power. Whenever the evil ones destroy some public figure, any public figure, over any issue, they think they gain power. Sadly to the simple-minded they do.
From the mouth of the beast:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osFtCcpFrXI
FK – Welcome to the reality of ‘conservative world.’ Yes it sounded very much like you’re advocating consensual sex with 13-year-olds. This is all the simple-minded needed to hear, regardless of what you really think about it. Most of the ‘conservative’ and nowadays liberal(commie) audience will not get past that number.
Welcome to the new age of sexual insanity when we still deny that teens are capable of sexual desire but teach 5-year-olds about Melody’s two mommies or whatever.
It’s wrong to abuse, coerce, take advantage of, deceive, force, on and on anyone of any age into any situation they don’t want to be in. But we force millions of kids to get on the govt. school bus every day with its bullies and send them to a school with teachers who are just as ignorant of reality as the average mush head regardless of how well they may be able to regurgitate what they were spoon fed in the govt. schools and universities.
There are certain topics the mush heads are scared to death of and you found the center of one, really two, and it will be a while before they get over it, if ever.
And the unmentionables do run the banks and the media and Hollyweird. That’s a whole ‘nuther topic unto itself but one we could much more easily get most to understand.
I call them the unmentionables. In a free country there’s no such thing as a group whose motives cannot be questioned. When we have that we have a serious problem. We have a serious problem.
FK – When I was the age of Milo’s ‘audience’ this stuff wouldn’t have even been discussed in the public sphere, at least not around kids. Are we better or worse off or just as insane as ever but in a different way?
We must first stop lying to ourselves about reality. Sex has been a hot topic since Adam and Eve allegedly figured out what their genitals were for, assuming they weren’t happily using them before they gained the ‘knowledge of good and evil’ and the Hebrew contrived god wasn’t providing them some magical birth control or their offspring were wandering off into the land of Nod or whatever. Sheesh. It’s hard to think about billions still taking that mythology seriously and literally.
As a bumper sticker on a commie’s car I once saw read: “God’s original plan was two naked vegetarians in a garden.”
Now it’s ‘Adam and Steve’ and their adopted son. I feel sorry for the little boy because he may turn out like Milo for possibly similar reasons. No, not his fame and fortune but his obvious perversion, confusion, pain, whatever that will likely here on out interfere with his ability to bridge the gap between an older generation of ‘conservatives'(loosely defined) and a younger generation of ‘libertarian/conservatives'(even more loosely defined) who’ve been indoctrinated in this ‘homosexuality is healthy and normal’ garbage vs. the older generation’s tendency to ignore it or treat it as a ‘sin’ for which it’s adherents fully deserve to be tortured alive in fire forever.
No wait, they deserve the torture simply because they were born as descendants of those who chose knowledge and independent thought over blind obedience.
Off and on for the last few months I’ve been using the phrase “Oh for a nation of men” or some such or alluding to the fact that there are no longer any men in this country.
Someone has finally called me on it. It’s another sad indicator that I’m right. It was a woman, maybe a ‘conservative’ female with some clue but not enough to grasp what I was really trying to get across, someone who still has some commie indoctrination to overcome.
I’m not ‘attacking’ her. She seems to have a partial clue and may be on the way to really waking up but she still has a long way to go. Sigh. So many newbies, so little time.
Years back it used to be a common thing for trolls on the net, YouTube and various places to taunt supporters of the Second Amendment with some trash like this:
“You don’t need a gun. Just use your fists like a real man.”
Of course that’s an attitude fit for an 8th grade school yard but then this is a country full of so-called humans that never learned to think much beyond that level. Our recent quest for the idiot vote has proven that once again.
On the other end of this spectrum, or pretty close to it, was a statement a younger cousin of mine made several years back after watching me shoot a couple of coyotes with my deer rifle:
“I didn’t think you could shoot them that far away.”
They were only 150 – 200 yards away. Anyone with any rudimentary knowledge of firearms should’ve known that’s not a long range for such a tool, a weapon, that’s designed to kill.
That’s another ‘thing’ with me. It was once common for ‘pro-gun’ so-called ‘men’ to start whining when one referred to a gun as a ‘weapon.’ Their common refrain was that it might ‘scare the sheeple’ in so many words.
Pfff…. That’s always been our problem. Real men don’t whine about what their domestic blood enemies might think or say. They just move forward and stay ready to stomp their arrogant faces into the dirt.
But amerika is swamped in both kinds of ignorance, from the bully mentality developed in homes where violence is often considered the first and best resort to homes where violence is mindlessly forbidden to the point that the child never develops any kind of adult mindset, the mindset of a real human, that knows sometimes violence is the only choice.
A couple clarifications for the sake of the weak-minded and weak-willed:
It’s wrong to stupid to teach a child that violence is always the first option in any situation, and few parents intentionally do this. But many intentionally do something far more evil: teach their children and worse the children of others that violence is never an option. It’s evil because they are raising willing slaves and pathetic cowards who will probably never undertake to understand the necessity of what I write here.
Spoiling or over-protecting any child is a form of child abuse, for it is a form of neglect. Any so-called ‘adult’ that doesn’t realize it may have to kill at some point is a pathetic creature not to be pitied, but to be looked down upon as a lesser being, and they have no business voting, which is the most violent act any human can participate in.
A real man does these things:
He isn’t afraid to say what needs to be done and prepares to do it. He doesn’t ignore the effort to create a ‘new world order’ and pretend that he’s gonna get beamed up before things get too bad and then leave his descendants to exist in total slavery.
He doesn’t play word games. He owns weapons not just tools or guns or toys for the range or the deer stand that are or can be used to kill not only game for the table but the garbage that insists he doesn’t ‘need’ to able to fight back and kill them after they’ve voted to kill him by electing some piece of scat to hire some whore to come and disarm him after some group of judges have ruled it’s OK for the government to tell us to ‘turn them in.’
He doesn’t allow his bubble-gum headed wife to insist his children are raised without the basic knowledge they need to defend themselves and if necessary kill those who would enslave them or in our case enslave them further or kill any common criminal that might endanger them or their property.
He doesn’t let his “Liberal”(commie) trash ‘friends‘ get away with claiming he has no such right.
He joins or forms a militia group and helps them train in whatever way he is capable in order to be ready to water the Tree of Liberty by hunting our real enemies, our white-skinned domestic blood enemies that were born here, to extinction before they do such via the police and military to those they claim to hate and who simply wish to live in the free country the Founders attempted to bequeath to us.
I know that unfortunately I must insert a few more disclaimers so the weak-minded and the brain dead and the newly awakened may understand:
I’m not Rambo and have never claimed to be but that’s another jibe the “Liberal”(commie) trash trolls once commonly used. I’ve never claimed to be and that’s the point. In boot camp they taught us to work as a team not as individual super heroes. We must do the same.
As a veteran I never had any real issue with females in the military even though I know on a scientific and biological basis they should not be regularly placed on the ‘front lines.’
I have no doubt there are female athletes who could out run, out fight, out shoot me with little effort. But they are the minority of their sex, just as there are men who can’t make it through Marine boot camp. Eight of 10 or so graduated when I went through. As a non-athletic half spoiled non-physical fighting only child with no experience in the Boy Scouts or other organizations I had a rough time of it.
But none of that is the point of this. The point is that we must begin to train, indoctrinate, our youth in not only Liberty but in the skills needed to maintain it. This could range from learning basic martial arts such as how to shoot a BB gun to playing video games that develop skills that could be used to eliminate our real enemies, foreign or domestic.
Not everyone is willing to be on or belongs on the front line. But all should be required to learn the basic skills it takes to keep what we are supposed to have here.
And yes this is supposed to be a nation of laws, more or less, not a nation of dictators. Really it’s supposed to be a group of sovereign nation states where the most basic right of all is recognized: the right to fight and kill if necessary those who would work covertly or overtly to destroy our Bill of Rights, which acknowledges our right to do so, not grants it.
For the record there is no such thing as a ‘right’ to work covertly or overtly to enslave those around you. Yep, I’m talking to you, dear “Liberal”(commie) trash.
This is really a response to a comment on my last column, posted here.
Firstly I’ll thank you for proving my point for when you allowed your mind to be closed by my ‘insulting’ the atp(ancient tribal propaganda) you showed the dangers of having books or gods or groups that can’t be questioned.
We are still deep in the same swamp our ancestors dug for themselves.
Yes I meant all the slaves, all down through time that have been kept in place by their natural submissiveness and the propaganda that makes it easier to swallow while going along to get along.
There’s nothing ‘flippant’ about calling the ancient tribal propaganda what it is. It’s simple historical fact.
Just actually read it, from the insane priests in Leviticus who were incredibly anal about their tedious procedures for keeping the ancient sheeple in awe of them and their power to the god that commanded ‘thou shalt not kill,’ unless that is he(the government representing him) told them to kill the pagans because they dared to try to stop the ancient desert tribe from stealing their land because the former tribe’s priests said it was ‘promised’ to them.
Or maybe they were just over there fighting for democracy.
Now the pagans may have been nasty people with another insane ideology/paradigm/whatever that required them to burn their babies in this world or that did more with the scapegoat than their competitors but they remind me of another group today who borrowed some of their doctrine from them and from the atp to create their own versions, sub-versions and subversions and whom so many among us here in this Christian nation would have no problem nuking into tomorrowland because they haven’t yet given up all of their pagan ways.
And something that was made obvious to me the other day: The fundie ragheads ‘prophet’ actually allegedly bothered to write down what he wanted his dupes to know while the alleged ‘son of god’ didn’t even bother to hire a secretary. Go figure.
But really it all boils down to this: I didn’t get involved in the patriot movement so I could choose one version of authoritarianism over another.
If it’s really about some version, sub-version or subversion of the atp vs ‘the devil’ then I want no part of it. I didn’t volunteer for that.
Of course the ‘believers’ will immediately respond “You have no choice.”
Wait. No. They also say we can ‘choose’ hell, which is of course absurd on its face.
They say we can ‘choose’ to serve heyzeus or whatever he’s being called this millennia. That’s ‘His way or the highway’ as a t-shirt I saw a while back on a smug looking woman read.
And of course all that is the problem. It seems ‘free will’ itself is still an evolving concept.
After the countless comments I’ve read on YouTube and WND and many other places I sincerely think many of them will be sorely disappointed if they don’t get to see billions of the ‘bad guys,’ to include babies, little kids, teenagers and pagans that never heard of heyzeus being burned alive in fire forever.
Don’t forget, the Catholics are still the largest single ‘christian’ sect and they don’t baptize babies for symbolic reasons. They’re really doing it to keep their sadistic god from burning them alive in fire forever.
This is the root of the problem. No, not the Catholics, the human nature they share with the rest of the crazies.
Oh but there’s a few versions, sub-versions and subversions that don’t believe in an eternal hell. Yes, but the atp clearly doesn’t support this despite their weak lies about it and most ‘christians’ not only don’t think that way but have no problem with the concept.
What’s worse, a suicide bomber killing a few mush heads or condoning billions being tortured forever in fire? Just something to think about. ‘Believing in it’ is condoning it. That’s how that works.
Then we could all take our modern loaded swords on any airplane and fly anywhere and disembark without having to go through customs or worry about the local crazy laws that put the powers that always want to be over simple human Liberty.
I know I won’t be in this realm long enough to see this because the human ‘mind’(very loosely defined) changes(evolves) very slowly which causes our cultures, laws, world views, to also change verrrrryyyyyy slllloowwwlllllyyy….
Often I think of my grandmother who on occasion would use a phrase: ‘out of the country.’ When she said that she didn’t mean Indiana or Tennessee or France or China or some distant star system. She meant five miles down the road.
That’s the world she grew up in, the horse and buggy days when the roads were dirt and a rare trip to the county seat and back took a full day in a rude wagon over mud slathered rocks.
The point to all this for the benefit of the thick-headed who made it this far is this: Sometimes I read commie propaganda if for no other reason than it’s important to watch your enemies more closely than your friends and on occasion they are actually right about problems they point out. It’s their solutions that are evil.
But that’s little different than providing simple parables to the simple minded in an effort to get them to stop killing/raping/assaulting each other or from producing illegitimate children that are always a burden on any society no matter how large or from spreading germs that evolved alongside our amorous ancestors.
A lot of this is of course based in the ‘other’ indoctrination I got via the government indoctrination system, the mainstream news/entertainment media and on and on. I’m not likely to surrender it any more than I’ll surrender the idea that the Earth is an elliptical bumpy deeply cracked volcanic sphere flying thousands of miles an hour through an ancient universe alongside a star of plasma or electricity or whatever it’s really made out of.
FK – I once said to a ‘believer’: “The bible says there was a war in heaven. That means there could be a war in heaven again.”
He agreed with me.
All these ideas of perfection amount to so much beating around the bush. What humans have always searched for is false security, a guarantee of their basic needs in a history of want. Religion was also handy for keeping the slaves working: “Be a good servant, you’ll have paradise in the next life,” or “You’re gonna get beamed up(raptured) soon so you don’t have to actually do anything about all the corruption in our govt. or the world,” and on and on.
