the lies we tell ourselves…those who call themselves Christians…
they claim to be followers of jesus and yet support mainstream GOP
policies…which are anti-life, anti-poor, anti-minority, anti-women and whose policies
are in favor of greed, hate, lust, anger… all of which is against the preaching
and values of jesus and the bible…I am against paying for children’s meal
and against meals on wheels and against programs which educate children because
they cost me money in taxes and by the way, I am a Christian…
if money has a higher value then lives, you are in no way, shape or form
a Christian, plain and simple…to support the anti-life policies
of the GOP and also to claim to be christian is simply lying to oneself
this is just the most brazen and obvious lie to oneself in modern America…
but there are plenty of others lies and some of these lies are communal…we
are the greatest nation on earth…we have the greatest freedom on earth…
we are the freest people on earth… and your proof of this is?
and the answer is always, well you know, everybody knows this…
in thinking about this idea I floated earlier, how do we become better people,
would you think that lying a trait that makes us better people?
is a liar a better person then a non liar? do you find lying a trait
you think is admirable? yet, we lie on a personal level, we lie to ourselves
and we lie to others and we lie in a communal group… how is that
being a better person or help create a better society?
we are in such denial about who we are and who we are
as a people that we don’t or can’t even see our lies anymore…
they are so ingrained in us that they become part of who we are,
part of how we see ourselves and how we want people to see us…
we want people to see the lies that make us appear to be better
then we are… and as a society, we do the same… we lie about
us as a country to make us appear to be better then we really are…
among them any lies we tell is the many, many conspiracies
theories that surround our lives… you see them here at ILP
in anti-Jewish and anti-women lies of several weak minded individuals
who write here quite often… but let us understand why?
why would someone court a lie like the anti-jewish conspiracies
that exist around ILP? they lie to make themselves feel better…
they lie to make themselves feel powerful, they lie because
one way to make yourself feel better is by cutting people down…
conspiracies theories aren’t much more then cries for help…
help me… I feel so badly about myself I have to create anti-Jewish
and anti-women attacks and conspiracies… and how do these conspiracies help
create better people? or a better society? it doesn’t… lies upon lies can’t help
create a better person or a better society…
lies are a mean to protect our fragile understanding of who we are…
we use lies to create an better idea of who we are instead of
actually investigating who we really are…
it is not enough for the courage of our beliefs,
we must have the courage for an attack upon our beliefs…
we must have the courage for an attack upon our beliefs, our lies
that we have… that we use to make us feel better about ourselves…
but of course people would rather live with the lies then truly
attack them… because it is easier to live with lies then
live with the truth of who we really are…
and thus we have the lies we tell ourselves and the lies/conspiracies
we tell others…
do you have the courage for an attack upon your lies, your convictions?
no, I didn’t think so…
