What would be the best thing in the world to do with The One?

What would be the best thing in the world to do with The One?  

For those not familiar with various science fiction pulp books and interesting trilogy I recently came across.  In a ST book series The One, who also refers to himself as Himself and Him etc., is actually a vengeful and spiteful entity that demands only submission.  Even when those mortals unfortunate enough to meet Him submit; He still destroys them.

So I wonder what would have been the best thing to do with Him?  In the books ... well I will not spoil the ending; but, I wonder if what someone I have met recently said is true.  Did Satan cut off God's limbs so that He could do nothing about our suffering, or is He the cause of our suffering?

I cite 9/11 and the Middle-East in, general, as reference points to ponder.  Did He fly planes into our buildings that day or did other humans using His name do that?

Time for some Truth.

To All,

Recently a long-standing obligation was satisfied and I am finally at liberty to say the Truth about several things.  Now the Truth is usually stranger than fiction so be prepared to not believe several of the things I will say, but also remember that the meat of what I want to say will be in literature form for all to read in awhile.  In the meantime I will simply tell y'all some of the more relevant things that are openly supported by facts and if any of those mentioned wish to deny it they can drag me into court and their dirty laundry out into the public for all to see; because I have nothing to hide because I have done nothing wrong.

The entire story will not be listed here, I am still writing it for personal publication and clarification, and not all of what needs to be put behind me has been put behind me; but the people in power over Liberty are behind me and I will write.

I do not know where to begin, but now that I have almost unlimited freedom I will leave y'all with a teaser trailer; and that is this story involves adultery, thievery, drugs and alcohol, home-wrecking and home-breaking, felonies  and misdemeanors, over a dozen dead animals some murdered, God and gods, men, women and children, money and credit, right and wrong.  In the end there will be aborted fetuses and aborted dreams, hopes buried and resurrected; and ultimately a minor treatise on the State of Texas' University system and Justice system and the tax-money sucking morons that populate both like a systemic infection.

I will say the Truth without hate, regardless of how hateful One would be, and say only that if I can put the past behind me, forgive and forget, let go without letting go of memories; then anyone can and I ask y'all to attempt the same thing.  Do not have your feelings hurt and if they are understand that I am an Instructor and that Learning is not child's play, it involves suffering and yes you will get hurt; also that The Truth Hurts ... and always will.

The idea of rape.

The Idea of Rape.  

 Now this is an interesting topic, not really related to religion though; rape.  Or is it?

One can start by mentioning that one of the earliest stories in the Bible involves several kinds of rape.  The story of Sodom and Gomorrah opens with God and the two Arch-Angels, Michael and Gabriel, going off to warn Abraham that they intend to destroy the two cities because the cry against God is so great.  The reason for this warning is because Abraham's nephew Lot and his family live in the cities; and God is totally cool with Abraham, thus the warning.

Fast-forward a bit and we get to the part of the story that involves gang-rape.  Lot, trying to be a good host to the two Arch-Angels offers the prurient crowd his two virgin daughters in place of the two angels for the gang to rape; and he does and so they do.

After this God destroys the cities and Lot and his family flee.  After his wife is turned into a pillar of salt, for having lack of faith and fortitude, Lot is left with just his two daughters.  The daughters wake, traumatized as they would be, they reason that they are the only ones left on the planet and need to be fruitful and multiply.  Thus they set about getting their own father drunk and rape him.

So gang-rape and incestuous-rape are in the Bible and right at the beginning.  So the question of, is rape related to religion seems to be supported; and one can look at legal systems in Muslim countries to see that it is still used and supported by those that profess belief in The One True God.  It is a non-sequitor to me really.

I write about the idea of Rape being about Power and not Sex.  If rape is about power and not sex this makes anyone that abuses their power to their own ends without considering the fact that the person they are abusing is a Human being with their own feelings, thoughts and beliefs; is a Rapist.

So rape is an ugly word and an ugly act; but rape seems to be the way many humans function when dealing with others.  We can cite police abusing their power over peoples lives for either self-gain or actual self-gratification.  We can cite politicians allowing such things simply to secure their power, wealth and status.  We can cite an almost endless list of atrocities that can be considered rape, whether or not they involve sex.

A rapist is simply a person that is so angry at themselves and what their life should have been that the only way they can make themselves feel better about their terrible lives of failure, that they do not try to improve themselves or others, but rather prefer to destroy others.  One may say why do not they try and destroy themselves; as most self-loathing people do?  This is because they hate so much and are such cowards that to destroy you is better than destroying themselves.

Most people would rather drag you down and tear you apart by dragging you into their terrible lives then simply leaving you alone and trying to either make themselves worse or even better.  This commentary on people is narcissistic in the same sense that satellites are narcissistic; there are more satellites looking down on the Earth than there are looking out into space.  Self-absorbed much?

And rapists are; they only care about how they feel and have no concern for the feelings of their victims.

Rape it is about power ... and God loves power.
