"All ideologies are bullshit strategies for power. Everything a person pretends to believe in is simply a strategy for gaining power, prestige, status, import, reverence, deferment. Christianity is no different than any other ideology. If it has power, then it is a good thing. Power is the only thing you CAN worship. It doesn't make any sense to NOT worship power, because to worship powerlessness is insane and illogical.
At least Christianity recognizes that nobody likes OTHER people who worship power and so teaches us to use reverse psychology and behave as if we are NOT powerful. Jesus did not come as a powerful figure, but as a meek, humble one, with massive, unbelievable fucking power of spirit."
I read some of your comments over at SSM's blog, and I was concerned for you. Please consider contacting http://www.samaritans.org/about-us. Sometimes it helps just to talk to someone. Sometimes it helps writing out all your frustrations and just knowing that you were heard without judgment or getting unwanted/unneeded advice. You're not alone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern. I checked that website out.

ReplyDeleteOn your post: Power is only as important as what you do with it, if you have it and don't do anything its useless worshipping power is like worshipping any form of currency. Worshipping God is giving honor praise and glory to someone greater then yourself. Power is always smaller then the person who weilds it God is infinatly larger then the person who praises him,or even the person who doesn't. God is power must be created.
I am very health conscious but it's done little to improve my stability.
DeleteWorshipping God is worshipping power. Would you worship a weak God?
We praise women for their looks, sexual power. We praise men for their strength, physical power. We praise Jesus for his spiritual power. We praise the rich for financial power. We praise politicians for their political/military power.
DJ: a weak God is an impossibility. God defined reality how can someone who defines reality for matter in general ever be weak. Is that all you perceive as valuable in men and women? We praise politicions for thier cleverness and a few for their honesty. Ii praise the rich for their perseverence and self discipline. It seems strange that you would praise people in a way that reduces them to a commodity. Would you please explain it more in depth?
DeleteIf a weak God is an impossibility then you worship power as default whenever you worship God. It is God's power that you worship.
Delete"It seems strange that you would praise people in a way that reduces them to a commodity."
I reduce things to their most finite principles to be able to better understand them.
DJ: ok I think Im starting to understand . Are you a libertarian by any chance? Do you believe in Social Darwinism?
DeleteYes, to libertarian. Anarchist actually. No state is best state.
