Is it possible? Is it Real?

I know you're just going to think I'm still high on SUPERNATURAL, but something has finally wormed its way into my head. See the previous post about the insanity in the world....OF the world.

This bad craziness is going on all over the place, all the time, lately. Nothing makes sense. Humanity has completely lost its way. Crimes are sanctioned by peoples and governments in the name of "peace" and "fairness" and "equality"and "goodness". Human beings are considered to have no right to exist by "official" organizations of "world" governments.

"Civilized" people are calling for the heads of innocents in the interests of monsters.

What the hell is going on?

I have always seen this in the context of politics. Of human appetite...the human weakness of the love of money, status and power.

But natural humans have a way of being satisfied with millions of dollars, of status high enough to get them an appointment with the President of the United States—or their favorite movie star—and enough power to control their own destiny.

But unnatural humans have evolved somehow for whom no amount of money is enough, no status but "tyrant of the universe" is high enough, and no amount of power short of that of life and death over every earthly creature is enough.

This is not normal. It's not natural. Something is really wrong here.

Remember the end of The Exorcist, when the young priest dies fighting the devil? Remember his smile? It was because in coming face to face with the devil he knew that God—about whom he had been suffering a crisis of faith—did exist. The existence of the former logically required the existence of the latter. And he was satisfied.

I almost feel that way now.

My search for God has never been to seek out the face of the devil to prove, by the necessity of complementarity, the existence of God. In fact, it never occurred to me. But lately the level of decadent evil is clawing at my consciousness every day...demanding my attention. Is this my answer?

Wild lies, raging hypocrisy, massive corruption, the brutal, ruthless destruction of the best hope for freedom for humankind, and the ferocious destruction of the best hope for prosperity for humankind engaged in with relish and spite while pouring disapprobation on every evidence and spark of goodness and truth.

If it was just one country, or one sect, or one religion, or one party, faction or group...one could reasonably assume bad law, bad culture, bad nurturing, bad politics, bad choices... were responsible.

But when the leadership of almost the entire world...and our own country carefully chooses to support and advance that which is clearly and demonstrably bad, and crush all that is clearly and demonstrably good, decent and humane...well, that's a damned different kettle of fish.

Something is fucking UP!

Yes, I get Nazism, and Stalin and Pol Pot.  And Mao and Kim Jong Il.

But leaders of the United States and the West were not befriending these monsters, and allying with them in their mission to destroy the Light that is America and the traditions of the West. And every single earthly government was not full of weakness and hate and corruption and fear and cowardice and narcissism and vanity and voracious greed and a wild-eyed manic compulsion for destruction of time-honored traditions.

And most of the Western World had morals, and ethics, and filled Churches on Sunday, and valued its history and culture and true heroes.

But nowhere on earth do the leaders of the West (or any other country) encourage these values and standards today. Every single nation is failing, not only financially, but morally. The rot is obvious, and it appears to be contagious.

Something is UP!

It is said people have a "bias toward the normal", by which he meant we refuse to see things that fall outside of our habitual understanding and perception of our world.  Are we allowing that bias to blind us to true evil afoot in the world?

Not human evil. But SOURCE evil?

Is it possible? How does one know?

Lot's of people are in the booby hatch for imagining such things. I'd rather not be crazy...but I don't want to be blind to the real face of the enemy either. If we're not dealing with normal human evil, but something...else...how do we fight it?

I know what they do on TV....but this is real life, and frankly, I haven't got a clue.

  1. Gunslinger,

    I've been thinking about this post, and the other you reference, for the past couple of days. I wanted to email you, but, damned if I can find an email address for you here.

    Anway, about this evil running amuck in the world, and is it possible, etc.

    Well, for individuals of faith, there really cannot be much question of the possibility of, as you say, a "source evil" seemingly on steriods, today, running amuck in the world.

    In the case of those with no faith in a Creator, the explanation will be, I think, a lack of morals in individuals, or an abrogation of individuals' morals to the pronouncements of the State.

    Either way, we end up with the same result, the rot we see every day, all around us.

    As an individual, because we live in reality, we won't have access to any of the toys the Winchester brothers have in their adventures. All individuals of faith have is faith, and prayer as shields, flimsy though they may be, against the evil which surrounds them.

    Oh, and I think you are far from being ready for the booby hatch.
