Education.


God does not destroy anyone.

God does not marginalize anyone.

God does not force anyone.

So instead of trying to beat people it is up to us to educate them.

Generation X were bad, violent, intimidating, and murderous.

They even described themselves as pure evil.

They said they were the generation from hell.

But God did not stop them.

They won the day.

Even though everything they said was wrong God would not destroy them.

For they are His children also.

What is needed is education.

They need to begin to learn some of the basic lessons of life.

First of all they said they were bad.

And this was endorsed by the corporate plutocrats.

This is the first lesson you would teach a child.

God is good.

So we should aspire to being good.

Secondly we should not resort to violence - physical, verbal, emotional, or psychic - to win.

Thirdly God does not smack us.

There is no evidence that God acts violently towards us and therefore we are not justified in using violence towards others.

Fourthly the purpose of life is not to accumulate money, possession, and status.

Materialism is a bankrupt philosophy.

It will not make you happy.

Fifthly love is the universal panacea.

Without love we shrivel and die.

With love we blossom and grow.

These are the basic lessons of life.
    
But until they realize we are stuck with their violence and evil.

Your Prayers.


When Israel Folau launched his legal action against Rugby Australia he thanked the tens of thousands of people who supported his homophobic comments with their prayers.

What kind of prayers are these?

Prayers of condemnation and hate!

No God worth His salt would give an ear to such prayers.

They are misinformed and misguided.

They do not know the God they claim to worship.

God is Love.

He does not discriminate.

And He cannot be manipulated by fear and hate.

So your prayers are in vain.

They will not be answered.

Ordeal.


"After this I looked and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palms in their hands."  Revelation 7:9 (NRSV)

"These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."  Revelation 7:14 (NRSV)

Gay people have been through a great ordeal.

AIDS and the accompanying violence and hate have subjected all gay people to intense suffering.

And they have washed their robes white.

Therefore they will be blessed and honored in Heaven for Eternity.

"'and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'"  Revelation 7:17 (NRSV)

Spiritual.


The Baby-Boomers are spiritual people.

That is why the powers of this world hate them.

Jesus said: "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its works are evil."  John 7:7 (NRSV)

The ideals and socialist politics of the Baby-Boomers are despised by the corporate plutocrats and their political puppets.

And the Baby-Boomers are the victims of a prolonged hate campaign in their media which uses violence and evil to win. 

So, far from the hell to which the Religious Right has condemned us, we will be blessed and honored by God in Heaven for Eternity.

The Whore of Babylon.


In the same way as the Book of Revelation turns to violence to overcome evil it assumes that God will punish the Whore.

Conservative religious people's obsession with sex is graphically demonstrated in the final book of the Bible.

It is assumed that God will impose moral purity.

But the Book of Revelation contains drastic errors.

And this is one of them.

God does not slaughter immoral people.

In fact God does not punish healthy sexual practices at all.

And this includes homosexual practices.

The condemnation of sex and homosexuality is an error which is triggered by fear.

Sex is a natural part of life.

And homosexuality is part of that life.

So don't base your beliefs on fantasies like the Book of Revelation.

God's methods are non-violent.

And the inmost nature of God is Love.

Mr. Music.


I have often heard people say when the subject of drug abuse is discussed: "Why would people want to do that to themselves?"

The answer is in the music they listen to.

Drug use was (and still is) propagated by rock musicians.

It began in the 1960s, flourished in the 1970s, and has continued to this day.

Rock musicians tell us it is cool, it is harmless, it is desirable to take drugs.

Little known to us was the fact that drugs were used in Satanic rituals like those taught by Aleister Crowley.

And the rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s made no secret of their admiration for Aleister Crowley.

So, if you want to know why people take drugs, you need look no further than the rock music they listen to.

Non-Violence.


If the Mark of the Beast is violence.

And the Seal of God is non-violence.

Then how can the Book of Revelation be true?

In the Book of Revelation, which is the last book of the Bible, a white rider arises who defeats the Beast and his followers with the sword.

And all are judged according to their works.

This is a reversion to the theology of Natural Justice.

But if God's methods are non-violent how can this be true?

The answer is, of course, that it is not true.

Conservative forces within our collective unconscious can influence dreams and visions.

And they have modified the prophesy in the Book of Revelation to bring it into line with their theology.

God does not use violence to overcome evil.

And God does not judge us.

This is the testimony of Jesus of Nazareth.

So the Book of Revelation is not entirely true.  

The vision may have begun as a revelation from God but it was taken over by forces in the unconscious which turned it to violence and judgement.

God's methods are non-violent.

And God does not judge us.

So the Day of Judgement will never come.

Because when God comes He blesses us.

It will be a Day of Benediction.

And violence will be no more.

Fear 2.


You may wonder how people who pray five times a day, give alms, and observe a month of fasting each year can be violent, cold, and threatening.

The answer is that their faith has been enforced with violence and fear.

If you teach people to obey God with violence and fear, insisting that this is the nature of God, you will create violent, threatening people.

Violence begets violence.

And fear begets fear.

So those passages in scripture which inspire fear should be ignored.

In fact we should be actively preaching against them.

God's nature is Love.

And "perfect love casts out fear."  1 John 4:18 (NRSV)

Fear 1.


The Church has traditionally taught children to fear God.

Fear of punishment and fear of hell then motivates their actions as adults.

So those who seek to do God's work in the world are mostly motivated by fear.

The alternative is to do what you like and chase after pleasures which, they have been taught, results in hell.

So fear of damnation and eternal torment in hell lies beneath their good works.

But fear is no motivation.

Fear begets fear.

And terror begets terrorists.

So much of their good work is spoiled by fear.

Our task is to allay their fears.

And change their motivation from fear to love.

The Truth.


You may wonder why things always seem to fail.

You may wonder how the world can be as dark and cold as it is  when no one wants it.

You may wonder why we have no power to change things.

Well there is a reason for all these things.

Few people realize what has happened.

But Satanism has secretly infiltrated our popular culture and our multi-media networks.

Rock stars, celebrities, and sports stars have sold their souls to the devil and sold us down the river.

They tempt and corrupt everyone in the hope that we will all be damned to hell.

This is the dark dream which overshadows everything.

But it is disguised as good.
    
We think that our rock legends and sports heroes are good like us.

But they are not

They poison and curse us.

They push negatives and create negations.

They push drugs.

They kill, steal, and destroy.

But no one wants to know.

We are all in denial.

But where does the hatred and evil in our world come from?

Apart from the fears and terrors of humanity there is a dark secret lurking in the shadows.

And this is Satanism  in rock music, entertainment, and sports.

It infects reality T.V..

It poisons literature.
 
And it addicts you to sports.

So give up rock music.

Listen to classical sacred music.

And limit the time you spend in front of the T.V..

You are being poisoned and corrupted,

Pray to God for guidance and protection.

He will Hear.

Why?


Why do people vote against their own interests?

The phenomenon of low income earners voting to support policies which help the rich has spread around the world.

Partially this is because they don't understand the policies sufficiently and they are told it is in the interests of a good economy.

But the main reason is because people no longer vote with their heads they just react to hate and fear which is fed to them relentlessly in the mass media.

We are told that any Socialist policies will increase taxes and ruin the economy.

And we are poisoned with hatred against individual left-wing candidates, especially women.

So while we are voting in a climate of fear and hate we will be voting against our own interests.

AFL.


The AFL is hard, violent, and brutal.

It worships the Beast.

And it favors Fascism.

"Work harder!" is its constant refrain.

And fear is its ruler.

But God is non-violent.

The home of the Lamb.

Quiet, tender, and vulnerable.

"for I am gentle and humble in heart."  Matthew 11:29 (NRSV)

"Fear not" He says.

And have Mercy.
