Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor?
The hockey stick graph introduced to the climate issue startled enough to start the trend to deal with it.
That shape showed the gross indecency and immorality of our collective focus.
That same immoral shape is what most countries now suffer in their socio-economic demographic pyramids, with a relatively small poor sector when compared to the whole; and especially when compared to the rich.
Statistically and in the long run, the rich have done a good job of improving our collective good.
Going from good to excellent would, cost the rich so little. I have to wonder why their demographers are not recommending that the rich take just a wee bit off the shank of the stick and fix the tip.
It is loose change (a bit of butt tape to our hockey stick), and if the rich will not fix the economy on their own, perhaps we should take their loose change, fix things, --- and raise their grade to excellent.
I understand that there are already several billionaires eager to start such a fund.
Get together, rich benevolent bunch, and set things right.
That will show the world why the rich rule the world.
My rich friends. Boost the trickle down with a one time trickle up and end poverty.
Please hurry, before I must answer yes to my own question.

Do you put God above or below yourself?
Do you put God above or below yourself?
God here I define as a best ideal, natural or supernatural or whatever you gives ther best rules and laws to live by.
Consider first, that you are an animal first, and anything else after your mental birth.
The God, or best ideal or type of an ant, is an ant.
The God, or best ideal or type of a lion, is a lion.
The God, or best ideal or type of a human being, is a human being.
We are natural and spiritual beings, not supernatural beings, and should thus follow a natural and spiritual religion, not a supernatural based religion.
Thoughts?
Should Governments rescind the Noble Lie of religions?
Should Governments rescind the Noble Lie of religions?
These lies were and are given to insure social harmony in an uneducated and gullible population. Our Governments lie and allow liars to lie to us of the supernatural, fantasy and magic.
Governments learned a long ago that religions were a good tool to use for social manipulation and control. Governments allowed and encouraged belief in fantasy, miracles and magic, the opium of the masses, and have lived with the drugged up population and religions.
Governments, with this noble lie, have maintained the current idiocy of immoral teachings within religions and have caused much unjust discrimination and denigration of innocent populations of Gays, women and many others, for just doing what we now see as moral.
Do you think we have matured enough as a people that we can now rescind the laws that protect religions and gives them a tax haven and legitimacy?
Are we intelligent enough to not need these lies anymore?
Can the population take our real reality or is the Government just going to let the flim-flam con game of religions to continue to damage the mental capabilities of the citizens in our country?
Flim-flam and con artists are subject to the law of the land. --- except for religions.
Can the population of take the truth?

Like it or not, God is immoral.
Like it or not, God is immoral.
This clip shows how man has defined morality. I generally agree with it as it closely resembles the morality shown in all the holy books. I see them as closely resembling the golden rule.
http://blog.ted.com/2008/09/17/the_real_differ/
This clip show how what I see as a good representation of moral men judging God’s morality. I agree with their verdict and judge God to be immoral.
From the above and from all that we know of God as depicted in the Bible, one can only conclude that God is immoral.
All those with intelligence who can discern moral actions from immoral actions will agree.
Moral actions for this exercise will be those issues where God interacts with humans.
If you do not agree that God is immoral from what you have heard above, then give your reason and I will show that God chose the immoral path in whatever action you choose to use as your example of his moral action. That or I will show that any of his altruistic acts are self-serving.

Women. God’s afterthought and man’s curse to rule.
Women. God’s afterthought and man’s curse to rule.
I think it quite ironic that God, who tells us to reproduce as his first commandment to man in Genesis 1, does not give us something to reproduce with till Genesis 2; 18. Further, only after a severe chastisement without correction, even to death, an immoral concept, after we ate of the tree of knowledge, are men given what is required for reproduction; the desire and mental capacity to do so.
God never tells Adam why he is being chastised. This is an expression of hate on God’s part because there is no evil in wanting to become as God as scriptures urge us to do. Note here that I take the Jewish view of our elevation in Eden and not the fall interpretation that Christianity mistakenly puts on it.
Chastisement without correction is just cruelty and thus unjust on God’s part. That is the message of Eden. God is unjust. If so, the inequality built into the bible, where men are cursed to rule over women, ----- is unjust.
Genesis 3;16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
As a man, I am not pleased that God has cursed my fellow man to have to suffer ruling over women. To rule over women is to be responsible to them and their demands. I think we should stop being slaves to women and give them full equality. Men owe it especially to men and to a lesser degree to women and between you and I, justice demands it ------, and so would all just people.
As a man, are you ready to shed your yoke of slavery to women and reject God’s command to rule over them?

When you become a God, will you use evil the way God does?
When you become a God, will you use evil the way God does?
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
I don’t know your view of evil or how you explain it but much of scriptures say that at some future in heaven, we will become as God and to me that would mean that we all inherit a new earth. Anything less would be less than what Satan has been given. Dominion over the earth. God would hardly give man less. I assume here that like humans, God would want his children to reach his level of thought and responsibilities and then some. God would then become God of Gods.
Believers, should have no problem imagining the scenario above and should be able to show why they would allow evil to exist on their own make believe world.
No definitive conclusion has ever been presented and accepted by any majority as to why God created and uses evil. To evolutionary theists, it must exist to further the survival of the fittest and what keeps man evolving. Without it we would face a greater evil. Extinction.
To some theists, it is to test us and weed out the unworthy or less fit. Yet many theists not believe in evolution even as God weeds out the less fit. Causing heavenly evolution, so to speak.
As a Gnostic Christian, I have no problem reconciling evil with reality. To me, within evolution, evil is good. Somewhat the way a God would think. I would not get rid of it as I see it’s ultimate requirement and in that sense, evil is good as it serves the greater good. Evolution. Theistic evolutionists agree.
Free will is not a valid argument if we must do evil to survive. Evolution demands both evil/competition and good/cooperation.
Would you allow evil to exist on your fictitious world, like God or nature does here in our real world?
If yes, why would you keep and use evil?
If no, how would your world work if you did somehow get rid of evil?

Does the award for the greatest evil go to Satan or God?
Does the award for the greatest evil go to Satan or God?
Many blame Satan for the evils of this world even as his power to deceive all of us comes from God.
As the creator of Satan, many think that God deserves the blame as he knew what Satan would be because God knows everything in advance.
What is the greatest evil you can think of and who do you think is to blame for it?
Who is the greatest sinner, Satan or God?
I lean toward God as scriptures name him the Alpha and Omega which to me means the best and the worse. Also, scriptures have God saying not to place any other above him and I would be going against this by placing Satan above him in the category of the most evil. I do not want to break the first commandment.
Do you dare by putting Satan above God?

Science explains the existence of God.
Science explains the existence of God.
Without a personal apotheosis, all who claim that God is real without any personal knowledge --- without a clear logic trail --- are just lying to themselves as well as others.
All who claim a God are also idol worshipping. They have just pasted their bible pages onto a golden calf. They think they have hidden the calf’s shape but it is still discernible under the manmade WORD of God. To have a Godinabook is to idol worship.
Most that follow a religion do not really follow it. They only follow tradition and cultures based on old tribal ways.
Are you an idol worshipper or do you fall under the first link’s definition?
If not, give the logic trail to your God.

P. S. Most will see this O P as an attack on those who believe. If you do, then you should know that I am not an atheist but call myself a Gnostic Christian and do believe in a Godhead. It is just not supernatural and is not immoral the way the bible God is portrayed to be.
