Sins of the father...continued.
I've been working on a very expansive theory, that started as a joke, and still is to some extent.
Christian faith is based off the belief that God sent Jesus to come to Earth and die for our sins, thus saving us.
However reading the bible, if we were to believe in Jesus and the stories...It didn't seem, even by our own accounts, like Jesus was in on it. We talk about this Holy Trinity...that are all the same being. Just throwing out that recurring Triangle theme again for all you conspiracists. (that's my word mothertrucker) Anyway....
It doesn't sound like Jesus knew what was going down, which given his membership in the one being club, you'd think he'd know. See Jesus is down here preaching his father's word. Performing miracles, championing the poor...born in a stable...you can't buy cliche' like this...SOOOO anyway
My theory...god didn't send Jesus here to die. Maybe God thought we were all right...and he wanted to hook us up with his son. He'd send Jesus as a gift, to spread wisdom and perform miracles and make us better beings. Instead...we killed him.
Not only did we kill him, then we had the nerve and gall to say he died for our behalf.
So here's Jesus on the cross, saying "WTF why have you forsaken me? Clearly the plan didn't go down as intended, about to get poked by spears, beam me the fuck up!!" So maybe, at the moment Jesus died on the cross...maybe we weren't all saved. Maybe at that instant God wrote us off as the assholes we clearly are. What if at that moment we were all doomed...and now roughly 2000 years later give or take 30 years or so...the world is on the brink of economic, and resource collapse. Social disparity is rampant, and wars are breaking out all over the place.
Which brings me back to my whole sins of the father context. There's a recurring trend in life of present father, absent father, attention vs discipline...which I think on some levels plays back to the bible again.
So maybe the answer to it all is wrapped up in this left his son to die at the hands of these degenerate humans. See the humans struggle to grasp what God the parent was feeling...maybe we aren't supposed to thank God by apologizing on the way through the turn buckle and knowing we're good because his kid died for us...
Maybe we need to apologize for killing his kid, and hoping maybe we get the mercy we probably don't deserve...
Deep thoughts...brought to you by the whateverlution
Nothing Special
Hello all!
This part of the Whateverlution...is all about me. Call it an ongoing ever changing 'about the author' Dane Cook once said...A suicide note written by someone who is not suicidal is called an autobiography.
So what gives me the ability to speak out about the world? Why should anyone listen when I tell them about fitness, gaming, intellectual pursuits, the sociological ramifications of current world politics, and gummy worms?
Well that's something you're going to have to learn as you go. However if you want credentials, allow me to fill in a bit of my resume.
At 34 I have collected paychecks from over 30 different employers. I have built million dollar homes, I have driven a front end loader through mountains of trash, I've been to basic training and enjoyed some peace time national guard time, I've worked for restaurants, retail chains, and convenient stores and been a substitute teacher. However I have also spent over five years as a guard at a county jail AND 30 days as an inmate at a different county jail. (For CIVIL CONTEMPT-I couldn't afford to pay ALIMONY, and was subsequently put in jail, which caused me to lose my job with the Sheriff's Department)
My education involves an Associates degree, and 90 credits towards a BS in Mental Health and Human services, as well as a healthy interest in reference literature. School and I have never gotten along, I find it too rigid and constraining, I can learn more on my own.
The only things I know for sure...I've been pretty good at just about every job I've ever had. The closest to a job I actually liked was as a guard. I'm a people watcher and psychological dynamics fascinate me, plus I'm an adrenaline junkie and at the time thrived amidst the crazy fights, hangings, cut-ups etc etc. That being said I now have to pursue a different career, and this blog circle is part of it. It's a social and personal experiment. I know that everywhere I've gone, people tend to remember me. However despite being a quick learner, and intelligent and well-spoken, something seems to be holding me back. So I am now hoping to work from that into something here, maybe a job, maybe a career, maybe pocket money, time will tell.
