The diffusion of a few drops of Christianity into a leftist mind transforms the idiot into a perfect idiot. -- Dávila
So, what went wrong? Not just with Helen, but with everyone? Is it true that language was given to man in order to conceal his thoughts? Or in order to straight-up lie? Look at Slow Joe: says he's a Catholic. But he's really a Democrat. Effin'-stephen? Or a hatin' Satan?
In the Christianity of the leftist Christian, one of the two elements sooner or later eliminates the other.
The Catholicism of the left is the pretense of baptizing theses that have not been converted.
The progressive Christian’s error lies in believing that Christianity’s perennial polemic against the rich is an implicit defense of socialist programs.
Atop the bell tower of the modern church the progressive clergy place a weathervane in place of the cross.
Religion under the influence of the progressive clergy, instead of being the opiate of the people, is their poison.
So brief is the biblical gap between man and liar that we might well call these snakes Homo slipperyones. Man is created on page 2, but by page 3 he's already lying to God and trying to weasel out of responsibility.
You could say this (o)urtext is about the creation of man. Or you could say it is about man's creation of lying. After all, there wasn't any, nor could there be any, falsehood prior to the appearance of man.
Language is a vehicle or carrier of light. How then can it possibly become the carrier of such haudible darkness? How does it become what it isn't? Before language starts running innerference for the prince of darkness, everything is what it is, not what it's not.
Let's wind our crocks back to before zero. No, not 13.7 billion years ago, but up above to the timeless source of time itself. How does nothink become somethink anyway, unless somethink was langlishing there all along?
What happens when language vacates the head and begins running around the world unsupervoiced? Well, that's what language does. The world is made of language; or, rather, what we call "the world" is saturated with the stuff. The adversary knows this. Why don't we?:
The left is a lexicographical tactic more than an ideological strategy.

We passed a church in Redlands yesterday that has a big banner hanging over the door proclaiming "RESET"
Now I suppose it could be a clever, modern way of expressing the need for revival in the more traditional sense, but considering Archbishop Vigano's recent letters talking about the great reset, I have my doubts. Hilary Clinton's infamous red button comes to mind, as well. While the leaders of that particular church may have a sort of Christian metanoia in mind, I would not be at all surprised if they are also staunch advocates of whatever leftist cause is making the news on any given day.
Sign out here in the mountain chapel down the road.
IF GOD IS YOUR COPILOT YOU SHOULD SWITCH SEATS.
Bob,
I have nothing profound to say -- I haven't commented for a while, and I just wanted to say "Thank you" for a rare Saturday post, and for "keeping on keepin' on".

In defense of President-elect Biden, your accusation he was an idiot was baseless.
The medical definition of an idiot is "a person with a mental age of less than two years" and you furnished no evidence that symptom was present in Sleepy Joe.
In defense of Catholics, there was no evidence right wing political practices were more holy than others, or that supporting left wing political practices is un-Christian. More baseless accusations.
You best bring something substantive to these debates if you don't want to be written off as a right wing nut-job.
In addition your fancy Joycean literary constructions offer no compelling indication of wit or intelligence.
All criticism non-withstanding (I have to say it, I'm a troll fergodsakes) the post was a fun read. But your not going to get any free passes on the internet. The critics are out there.
You're right, I've known two-year-olds who were more articulate and focused, and had better impulse control.
In early November I was ordered to interview a captured COVID virus.
The science boys had blown it up X2 billion until it was about two meters tall including tail and about a meter across, and weighed maybe 60 Kg. Close up, the thing was ugly and disgusting. The main body was gray and smeared with dried blood and body fluids from its last victim. The attachment spikes, each tipped with razor sharp polypeptides, were kind of squirming around as if looking for another cell wall to breach. The raunchy smell of decay and the sharp stink of the caustic lipid coating wafted off the beast and filled the room.
Bizarrely, the virus was wearing a jeweled crucifix on a gold chain draped around its spiky body.
Like most COVID, this one spoke English. It had a heavy Bronx accent but nothing nice to say.
Me: So, who is your leader? what mutations are you working on next? What can we expect?
COVID: Wouldn't you like to know. Chump.
Me: What so now you have religion? What's with the crucifix?
COVID: I'm down with Jesus. You got a problem wit it? God is my co-pilot.
Me: Yeah, well you hurt people. I don't think you're going to heaven.
COVID: Sure mac. Eat steak much? Talk to the steers about your chances.
I pulled out my K-bar and slashed off some of the COVID's attachment spikes exposing an expanse of unprotected casing. Using the blade I then carved a half-kilo divot out of the COVID virus. It flinched for a moment but then seemed to shrug off the attack. Thick strands of RNA protruded from the wound.
COVID: Yeah tough guy. If I wasn't tied down I'd make you pay for that rude gesture.
Me: Well, now let's put some of you in this frying pan with a little oil.
The chunk of COVID browned up nicely in a matter of two minutes. I put some on a plate and carved off a chunk and popped it in my mouth. It tasted like veal and was quite tender.
Me: You're not so tough after all. That's good eating.
COVID: #@$%^*! I will $%*&@ your punk #$%.
Me: Next we have a nice bath of Lysol for you. We are going to clean you up! Nice and clean. Unless you want to talk....
COVID: Awright, awright. I'll talk.
The COVID talked at length. Still got the bath.
Humanity today is divided between individuals who are simple and hard like steel bullets and individuals who are soft and unformed like a bunch of dirty rags.
I don't know anything about this book but I like the title: The Human Place in the Cosmos. Scheler was apparently a big influence on JP2.
I have a sincere question for any leftists in the audience. I'm as greedy and selfish as the next guy, and yet, I have nothing to show for it. It hasn't made me wealthy, nor do I have anyone to oppress or exploit. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Cousin Dupree:
There's an element of luck or perhaps fate involved in getting wealthy. You need to be in the right places at the right times, get the right breaks at the right times, and that is just not in the cards for everyone.
It helps to know the right people. You cannot overstate the importance of having connections.
All you can do is stay vigilant and work your hustles as best you can. See what other people are doing and then copy them.
Hope the advice helps.
If at some point it becomes clear you will never get wealthy, the next thing to do is to find someone or something to blame so you don't feel like a complete loser. That way you can at least live with yourself.
Cuz you need to join the Democratic Party. That is step one.
Then you just sell out, Deepak the Chopra. Your only principle should be, "will this make me rich/ famous/ attractive to chicks."
Tell 'em what they want to hear, sprinkle it with just enough truth to sound plausible. Walla! You, too can be the next Tony Robbins or that NXIVM guy.
Luck, fate, right place, right time, right breaks, connections with the right people, vigilance, hustle, yada yada. You're basically telling me that getting rich requires more than just greed. Which disappoints me. Moreover, why does the left only shriek about greedy people and not lucky or vigilant or hustling ones?
Mr. Critical Race Theory guy apparently has a children's book out now. Sounds hysterically sad.
Supply and demand: there is always going to be a demand for liberal myths to explain black failure. As if white people force black men to abandon their children, or compel them to obtain fake PhDs in imaginary subjects such as Critical Race Theory instead of STEM subjects...
Ted, Bob. Gentlemen, listen up.
I work in the aviation safety field. When there is a crash or near miss incident we find out the cause.
Pilot error (making bad/wrong choices) is relatively easy to identify. It would be tempting to stop there with blaming the pilot, but that won't solve the problem.
When looked at, pilot error is almost always linked to background causes. Fatigue, lack of training, lack of proper screening of the pilots, lax drug testing, poor aircraft design, poor aircraft maintenance, safety policies either not in place or not followed, etc.
Now when it comes to figuring out why a black man abandons his children, we can point to their poor decision making and stop there, calling them responsible. Or we can look behind the scenes to see what's up. And there you will find a host of causative factors springing from the many-headed hydra of former slavery, the beast that cannot be slain.
In the end, both the pilot and the management of the aviation company are cited for lapses. It has to be approached in both a bottom up, and a top down fashion. And that is why aviation is so safe; we get to the root of problems.
The root cause of not being wealthy is lack of money. Now that sounds obvious but I want you chew on that for a while Dupree. Approach getting wealthy like an aircrew approaches a flight, and you might be headed uptown.
Thank me Later, Captain Steve Sage
You've got it precisely backward: poverty requires no explanation. The question is, under what circumstances is wealth created?
There's also always the Democrat method of getting rich: know somebody powerful, solicit bribes, get caught on video engaging in assorted illicit activities (just to make sure you hold up your end of the bargain), and see your family patriarch/ matriarch's 6-figure job magically result in a 7, 8 or 9 -figure lifestyle which fuels a multi-generational business of more of the same.
Just not by the content of character, but by the color of skin that the system is oppressing - Kendi's free spirited semi-thinkers
