Hate 1.


Right-wing political think-tanks like CPAC are behind the campaign of misinformation and hate which plagues our society.  

Their allies in the corporations use their media outlets to spread this misinformation and hate throughout our world.

Their hatred of the political left is so great that they will even embrace Fascist techniques and brainwashing to achieve right-wing rule.

The plutocrats in the corporations support them because they will cut taxes and slash welfare.

Their motivation is money.

The truth is that it is a coordinated campaign to destroy the political left and their allies in the unions.

It relies on hate.

And it is evil.

Fox News.


Watchers of Fox News are not members of an alternate reality they are entirely divorced from reality.

The fantasy and wishful thinking put out by Fox is verging on insanity.

And the intimidation and bullying of opposing viewpoints is verging on criminality.

So don't watch Fox News merely to reinforce your prejudices.

To do so is to risk insanity.

And to be divorced from all reality.

Lunatic Fringe.


Rednecked Republicans and followers of QAnon are no more than a lunatic fringe.

Now that Donald Trump is out of the White House they have no authority and no power.

Christians who support this kind of nonsense are not worthy of the name.

It encourages hatred and violence in the name of Jesus.

And it claims that God is on their side.

This is blatant blasphemy.

And it should be denounced by Christian authorities.

The time has come to discard this madness.

And return to sanity and peace.

Aleister Crowley.


Further to my thesis that Satanism is a reaction to a Fundamentalist view of God is the fact that Aleister Crowley's parents were Fundamentalist Plymouth Brethren.

Aleister Crowley was also bisexual so the Fundamentalist teaching that homosexuality is of the devil may have played a part in his apostasy.

He wrote many books on Satanism and magic which influenced 1960s rock bands and their descendants.

But the fact remains that their view of God is false.

Homosexuality and sexuality in general are not condemned by God. 

So Satanism collapses like a house of cards.

Human.


How can we make a more humane world?

Only by being more humane ourselves.

By discarding indifference.

By rejecting hatred.

By caring about the poor and needy.

By having sympathy for the suffering.

By having compassion for the sick.

By having the courage of our convictions.

By letting go of fear.

By faith in a benevolent God.

By seeing the Divine in everyone.

We are human.

We are not robots.

We are not work units.

We are not statistics.

We are human beings.

And we have human needs.

It is only when these human needs are met at work that we are truly productive.

So don't sell out to the corporate system.

There is a higher power than that.

And His modus operendi is Love.

Prosperity Theology.


The Religious Right is captive to the Prosperity Theology condemned in the Bible.

The "God blesses the rich and successful" theology of the majority of Churches in America and elsewhere has been corrupted by money and power.

The Book of Job in the Bible was written specifically to explode this selfish and expedient theology.

And Jesus said: You cannot serve two masters - God and money. (Matthew 6:24)

This also explains their reluctance to help the sick and the poor - because they believe that God is punishing them.

And their blatantly political stance on social issues betrays their ignorance and fear.

They invoke violence, hate, and judgement.

They demonize their enemies.

And they threaten and tempt everyone.

All for the love of money and power.

Of Human Origin.


Punishment, judgement, the devil, and hell are all concepts of human origin.

They derive from human guilt, fear, terror, and foreboding.

They are not characteristics of the Divine.

God is harmless.

God loves us.

His mercy is infinite.

And His forgiveness is everlasting.

Natural Justice - the concept of punishment for evil and reward for good - is also of human origin.

We think that this is how it should be.

But there is littler evidence that God acts in this way.

The wicked prosper and the good suffer.

"Where then is God?"  I hear you say.

God is Love.

He loves everyone.

He loves the wicked as well as the good.

And he waits for them.

When they turn to Him He will write off their debts and put them on the right track.

He will not condemn them.

He will not punish them.

He will not make them pay.

His Love will show mercy.

He will forgive them.

And encourage them to love.
