Why The Incredible Hulk Would Make A Great Politician And Take Care Of Business

The Late Bill Bixby


While searching for something good to watch recently, I ran across The Incredible Hulk Season One episodes on Netflix and added it to my queue. I clicked the add button with a passing nostalgia for when I was a kid in the 70's watching TV shows like The Dukes of Hazard, The Love Boat, Wonder Woman and The Hulk. I admittedly thought this is bad TV but it would be fun to go down entertainment memory lane just to see how bad that TV was.

I called my daughter Alex down from the computer virtual webworld she was playing in to see some good old fashioned entertainment. I told her watching The Hulk was a not to miss event when I was growing up, even though the only thing I remembered about the series was the picture of David Banner and Lou Ferrigno being split down the middle and The Hulk got angry a lot.

So I dared to click the watch button and needless to say we were sucked in and blew through the first season in record speed as my husband sat through a few episodes shaking his head at the absurdity and not from the kind on screeen but from his two girls. We were laughing yet still sucked into the story, high fiving every time David Banner transformed, predicting why he'd get angry and how many times an episode he'd Hulk Out.

Which led to us making a list of things that got The Hulk angry, (I know we have too much time on our hands)  As the list grew I noticed some parallels to the feelings flying around the all too unstable political realm and found a little parody gave a humorous relief of sorts. Ahh, the Seventies the decade looked back upon as comical fodder for so many genres found its use in entertaining me once again.

Alas, The Top Ten Reasons Hulk Would Make A Great  Politician And Take Care Of Business was born

Reason Number One: 
He would be able to run his campaign on the Family Forum. (Season 2, Episode 5: A Child In Need)

Reason Number Two:
He would be a Tough Union Buster (Season 1, Episode: Murder On The Waterfront)

Reason Number Three:
He has a messy relationship with reporters (All Seasons)

Reason Number Four: 
He understands the ramifications of a messed up health industry by personal experience, The congressional insurance package would cover his treatments to recovery.

Reason Number Five:
He loves the babies (Season 2, Episode 11: Life and Death :Minute 2:48)

Reason Number Six:
His National policy would be backed by his transient travel

Reason Number Seven:
Whiners and Bullies don't push him around in the end (Whiner: Season 1, Episode 1/2: Death In The Family: Minute 1:33)

Reason Number Eight:
He isn't Politically Correct (Season 2 Episode 3: Ricky Minute 1:40)

Reason Number Nine:
He's a true Altruist, although a misunderstood one (All Seasons)

Reason Number Ten:
He takes Action NOW and get's RESULTS

He even has his Campaign tag line ready to go...
Don't make me angry, You don't want to see me when I'm angry!"
And his ad for campaigning

HULK 2012

Note: He'd have to work on his gun control

Tend Your Garden - Post #3

"Why try to explain miracles to your kids when you can just have them plant a garden."  ~Robert Brault

If you've read the previous tend your garden posts this video finally tells what we decided to plant and is presented by my daughter Alex. She was enthusiastic about this family  project so I decided to let her introduce this years crop. She helped pick the seeds from our favorite garden shop, The Natural Gardener, and she chose each one according to what our family eats the most of. I'm proud she was attentive to what we all like or maybe it was drilled into her by yours truly. I find myself unintentionally lecturing at almost every dinner how important raw vegetables are for your body so I'm glad some of my words are rubbing off in a good way. 

This style of gardening is a mixed experiment. I took the French compact style gardening and added a Texas flair. I just made the box slighlty bigger and rectangular than the standard French square style. I let my daughter plant what she wanted so she could see how big certain plants get, what they will need, how they grow and if they will grow. Peas will need a support, squash can become huge needing more space. This is definately a learn as you grow garden.  I want to see how she approaches the challenges and I have no doubt she'll come up with solutions and strategies to make it work. 

We already have squirrels trying to plant their own bounty and she came running inside to tell me we need to get a cover for the top of the garden bed. She has put in the effort and wants to see success in the first growth popping through the soil.

Now we must wait.... time, daily attention and care is where our patience resides....

Tend Your Garden - Post #2

The garden is the poor man's apothecary. ~German Proverb


I have been wanting to plant a garden of my own for months now. The idea had been eating at the back of my brain in my spare thinking time and I found myself vacillating between the "should I" or "shouldn't I" and the cost versus time and management talk. Alas, from the pictures and post title, you can see that I decided to go ahead with my little pet project.

Every Garden Needs An Inspiration:

My grandmother had a plot to garden and I remember my young Summer's visiting her house in Durand, Wisconsin as ones with her in a sun hat and garden gloves holding a large basket to harvest her vegetables in. It was a pretty sight now that I am thinking back on the scene. The vegetable I remember most was the corn; shucking the stalks on the back porch made a kid feel good. My parents carried on the tradition in Colorado. A small garden just runs in my blood.

Not only do my childhood roots digging in the dirt give me inspiration, but the desire to give the best to my family has spurred me to at least try.

This next inspiration may not fit in the feel-good category that usually prods inspiration into action, but it definitely has merit in this new venture. The realms of economy and health have made a sound argument for trying my hand at the ol' farm gal routine.

The above quote, "A garden is a poor man's apothecary" certainly makes sense for the times at hand. It isn't hard to find articles regarding the tough economy and skyrocketing food costs. Health issues are constantly in debate and the future of healthcare is up in the air. I like the idea that my backyard can be my personal pharmacy and grocery store.


There comes a time when an idea can only be thought about for so long, turned around and studied in your mind so many times and then it is time to get off the tuckus and put that idea into fruition. As you can see we made this a family affair, something to do together, to learn, work, tend and enjoy together and as we watch our idea grow into something we can be proud of, use and share with others I'm hoping some life lessons and memories will rub off on all of us like the dirt stains ground into the grooves of our hands preparing the soil for seed.


I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station,
through which God speaks to us every hour,
 if we will only tune in.
~George Washington Carver


This small 8' X 4' garden bed took patience, planning, time, sweat not to mention a few knuckles falling prey to bloody scratches and all before the seeds could be planted. We tilled and amended the soil, took precautions to keep the wild animals (or not so wild-Odie) from stealing from or destroying the bed.

I opened a pack of carrot seeds to see what they look like and I was amazed at how small they were. "I'm going to get carrots from those?" I thought.

Will Mr. Owl Keep The Pests Away?

A thought came to me just as I was writing this. "We prepare and take extraordinary steps to keep our ideas and the outcome of the action of those ideas protected so we can reap the benefits of our work. How much more should I tend to my 'spiritual garden'."

Hebrews 2:1-3 is my first lesson from this garden experiment, Pay close attention, do not neglect what you've heard and learned so that you may endure to the finish line (Hebrews 12:1-2)

James 5:7-8 is my second lesson from this garden experiment. Be patient, and strengthen your heart. "Behold, the farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains."

I'm tuning in....

Tend Your Garden- Post #1

"Peach Blossom" by Chandra Brown
It often happens to children - and sometimes to gardeners - that they are

given gifts of value of which they do not perceive until much later.

- Wayne Winterrowd

I'm looking out my daughter's bedroom window and can't take my eyes off the buds and flowers of the ornamental peach tree. The pink, delicate petals have a mesmerizing effect as your eyes rest on them gently swaying on the light Spring breeze. I see my daughter playing under the pink canopy, sun shining in her hair. She captures a flower in her hands as the breeze gently shakes it from its place on the branch and I watch as she studies its' detail.

I smile when I see her delight in the beauty she holds in her hands. She touches the silky petal and I wonder what she is thinking. Is she contemplating the cycle of nature? Does she see the picture of death and new life? Does she see God's laws at work as she studies the delicate features? 

Probably not yet, but she will. I see myself in the little girl holding the Peach blossom in the backyard. I too remember playing in my fathers garden observing the ways of nature. 
Now that I am grown, I smile at this mirror glimpse I am afforded because I have come to know the Creator behind the beauty and can see the seeds of truth being planted for harvest in her maturation.

The Lord using Nature to teach us:
Isaiah 41:17-20 ..."That they may see and recognize, and consider and gain insight as well, That the hand of the Lord has done this, And the Holy one of Israel has created it." 


"Daisy" By Alex Brown
Job 12:7-10 "...In whose hand is the life of every living thing.."
Psalms 19:1-8 "..The Law of The Lord is perfect, restoring the soul."

The Earth Is Eternal

Photo Credit: Nasa, Apollo 13
"The Earth in the Age of Grace"

Here I go again bugging my friends and family with something that I’ve learned and just can’t keep to myself. Have you ever felt compelled to share some news that you’ve learned out of sheer excitement?

I am elated when a wrong doctrine I have held from previous religions teachings or a wrong thought from my own fleshly devices has been brought under the scrutiny of Jesus’ truth and revealed to me so I can submit and change to what He says is true. (Colossians 2:8)

I want to share this specific encounter with God’s truth because the thoughts I had seem to be a main theme talked about in current times in both religious circles and secular circles as well. It is a big topic; this phrase comes with a lot of emotion backed to it. People take this very seriously and many sermons and articles have had countless hours put into them about this subject, and it is one that can keep you from experiencing the full joy God has intended if it is not understood correctly.

The big topic on many minds and has been a recent subject many discuss especially with the current events in the Middle East is “The End Times”.

Let me tell you the wrong thinking I had about this subject and then you can decide if you relate and can read on. Maybe I am one of the few who thought this way and you’ll think, “Where did she get this concept, duh, Chandra how could you think that way”? But I have a feeling many people may have had the same problem I have, so I’ll just explain and go from there.

Anytime I heard or read or listened to preaching about “End Times” I would get this feeling of doom and gloom. It seemed so “final” and I would envision the hobo standing on Times Square in New York with his sign stating “the end of the world” is near. Somehow the phrase “end times” and “end of the world” inter-meshed to mean one in the same. When I heard anyone talk about this subject I would feel fear and hopelessness, wouldn’t you, when you thought the earth was going to be done and gone and void of human life? I would equate this with the end of the human race, the oblivion of the earth and any one who died just lived in heaven or hell, but there was still a nagging sadness at the thought that the earth was no more. I’ve always struggled with this and always thought something was missing.

I’ll throw a jab at myself here, a few brain cells must have been missing. Ha! I’ll blame my youth, it’s the easiest target, but something WAS missing and it was the full truth. The nagging feeling, I should have known was the Holy Spirit trying to get me to let Him show me what that full truth was. Ya know, He does have your best interest at heart.

Then during a discussion about this subject, a light bulb came on. Have you ever had a very slow computer, one that slowly loads information and then you call the Geek squad out and they get it going to full speed and you wonder how in the world did you get anything done on that old, slow version? Well, this is how the full truth finally hit me. I have been studying biblical passages, tweaking things along the way that the Lord has shown me needs changing. This discussion was like the Geek Squad because as I began to talk about what I was learning the thought hit me, “the end times is just that, the end of a time, the end of an age, it has nothing to do with the end of the big physical ball we call earth. In fact, the earth is eternal.”

This is where explanation is due, how can I say the earth is eternal when 2 Peter 3:10-13 talks about the heavens passing away and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat and the earth and its works will be burned up? (This is where a good teacher in the language of the Bible comes in really handy and I’m glad I have someone like that.) The more I study the Bible the more I understand the importance of context, history and original word study.

In order to fully grasp what Peter is talking about, one must also look at Isaiah 65:17 and 66:22-24. In the New American Standard verse 65:17 reads, “behold I create a new heavens and earth, 66:22 read, “which I make” verse 17 had a little mark at the top of the word create, so I looked it up in the Greek/ Hebrew lexicon. The word was ‘Asah’ the basic meaning is “to do” or “make”; in creations context ‘asah’ is a broad scope and deals with refinement. This word is used to define God’s creative activity. BINGO, did that explanation hit you between the eyes like it did me? It doesn’t mean a complete, new act of creating something from nothing, it means an act of refinement, taking something that is there and making it better.

Not only did this help me understand this intense heat that melts the elements isn’t going to annihilate the earth, just change it; the following verse solidified this notion, Isaiah 66:24 talks about man going forth to look on the corpses of the men who transgressed against The Lord after this intense heat is finished. If believers are able to see the corpses on earth the earth has to still be here.

Then a more complete picture comes into view as you read Revelation 21:1-8. Awhile ago I thought when we die or are raptured we go to heaven and stay there. The Holy Spirit dissolved this wrong thinking in verse 2- 3, in verse 2 The Holy City comes down out of heaven, and in verse 3 “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people.” The earth is eternal because God changes it so the city can come down from heaven and He dwells with men here. There has to be something here for the city to come down to.

And then what about Hell, it is a place on Earth. If Earth is utterly gone, a void in space, hell would be gone too, but that is not what scripture says. Revelation 21 verse 8 describes hell as being still here as a warning and reminder.

Another word that helped me see the full truth was the word for “world” is kosmos. Kosmos is “social system” and is used to describe a culture or race. The end of the “world” is the end of all the man manipulated systems that involve our daily lives and have nothing to do with God’s social system. It will be a breathe of fresh air when all the systems that hinder us from knowing God will be burned away forever. And sadly, men will die and their soul’s sent to the Lake of Fire because they chose to rebel against God’s plan, now that is something to look at with doom and gloom. A believer’s perspective should be one of rejoicing.

Can you imagine the sigh of relief, the extreme weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that Jesus the author of history, planned time down to the last detail and it included changing Earth into a place where tears are wiped away, no mourning or pain, death is overcome and God resides among men. (Revelation 21:4-6)Yes, “heaven” (or at least its attributes) will be a place on Earth, a place I speculate is hard for us to truly imagine in our finite mind.

Maybe you read this and think, ‘Duh, why would you ever have been so confused?” Or maybe you can relate and can now rejoice that when you hear the all too familiar phrases, The End of the World is near or, The End of Days is upon us, you will understand that yes, a time is coming to a close so another can take its place. And the next age is always moving towards Restoration of God’s original plan.

I have been reveling in the Joy of this truth. Christ’s message is always one of hope for mankind.
Romans 8:28-39… “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose…For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

Ideas Shape The Course of History
John Maynard Keynes

In the world of 21st Century politics it is common knowledge and safe to assume that power is at the core of what is debated, analyzed, struggled over and what ultimately shapes the laws that control life's qualities. To make the definition of politics simple it can easily be described as a moral war fought out through ideologies.
I like asking questions where you know I'm going to give my answer to them so hear it goes... If politics is an ongoing moral war, why do people view it as a separate subject from religion, economics and education when in reality politics effects and encompasses this broad spectrum? While you gather your answer I want try my best to explain how ideologies or what I like to call thoughts and beliefs shape our views and influence us to become side takers in this moral war.
Before I proceed I want to go back to the prize of this moral war; power, and ask another question. If power is the ultimate glory of winning the moral war and comes at a great price, what is the power used for?

First, I'd like to introduce you to the teacher's of ideology, the moralist. The definition of a moralist in the Webster Dictionary is: "one concerned with regulating the morals of others."  So the teachers of ideology use influence to direct their thoughts and beliefs to their students, usually those are the ones who will listen and then adopt and integrate those beliefs into their daily lives through activities. Those activities involve going to school to learn a trade or career that suites their desires and beliefs with many many books being studied with certain ideologies attached; that sounds like education. Then they find a job and work it in order to spend the money; sounds like economics. Sometimes those students with strong feeling for the good of others or to feel good about themselves join a congregation and discuss their moral codes between other like-minded students; sounds like religion. This cycle of life lived out has an ideology proding them in these daily decisions.

Now there are myraids of idealogies in the vast world. Many seem similar, some are born out of others, cultures and tradition create some, some seems so out there that only a few relate, the factions are countless. One can spend a lifetime studying these various sects. When you begin to widdle the similarities and differences down a pattern emerges that consistantly leads to two main ideologies. These two ideologies are opposing, making it simple to distinquish what faction goes where. I call them the For and Against Sides. For and Against what? For and Against God.  I do admit there are a few out there that have done a great job masking themselves to look like they belong on the For side and that is where one needs the Holy Spirit to quide them in truth. The For Side is much simpler than the Against side because it is cut and dry; simple. It states what it is and hasn't changed since the beginning of time as we know it. It is one way, Jesus and if the criteria doesn't fit with what He taught then one knows to automatically put it in the Against side.

If you are still with me, I'd like to use an example of an ideology that is current in today's world. This one falls under the somewhat complicated, masked to look good but really isn't category. It's adopted name is Fabion Socialism. I say adopted because this idea is not new, it has been tweaked a little here and molded a little there to fit in with the times, there will be more on that later. This widely unheard of ideology is actually everywhere you go but most do not know that what they live in or experience has this name. This form of socialism is like a chameleon and changes to fit the agenda at hand. Their international symbol is that of a turtle with the motto: "When I strike, I strike hard" The turtle represents the slow, gradual way in which they insert their beliefs and the hard shell represents their resolve to do what they set out to do. The original Fabian Society emblem is quite telling and should make one stop and think about this choice of symbolism long and hard. It is a wolf wrapped in a sheep's hide. I'd say that is blatant and in your face yet they have been able to accomplish their goal virtually unnoticed. How ironic!

So what do these Fabian wolves want to do, what is their goal? It starts as a pretty good story with promise as most stories do but as the emblem portrays, ends with the sheep slaughtered. So please, as you read on ask yourself if you've been a sheep lead astray.

Fabian Socialist admit their goal is by scientific design to mold and push the world into one world governance, also known by most as The New World Order. Socialism by definition is the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.Socialism on the surface seems fair and just but in reality, this ideal is unattainable under human control. There will always be something lacking. Why should I dash this inspiration to make life fair, ruin a dream, call it out on the floor as wrong and even go as far as to call it evil? Because it is a bastardized version of God's original plan. Remember when I mentioned Fabian Socialism adopted its name, its long lost lineage lies in the age old struggle between God and Satan. Its root grows from the idea of wanting to be like God, to have His power and to control the Earth and this power grab is accomplished through religion. Remember how I mentioned religion, education, economics and politics are really all intertwined, these are the vehicles used for deception and manipulation to keep you in the dark to what is really going on.

Let me explain the connection with quotes from dedicated Fabian Socialists and see if you can put the puzzle pieces together.

First, what Fabian Socialism IS:
1. A mixture of capitalism and socialism (reason they mix this is to slowly get rid of capitalism, strategy of      using the system to change the system)
2.Corporate fascism
3.Globalism, One world Government and Economy, they will use religion as the vehicle to accomplish this goal. (remember the definition of socialism from earlier in the article...and apply that to what a one world economy and government would look like...here is a first hand account of what living under socialism is like..it is a good account of how great it seems until you find out what freedoms have been taken from you. It is a system for the betterment of the few while they sell the system as a betterment for all. (If you believe everyone will benefit from this way of life you have been sold a lie.) Socialisms terminology is well-known  and used, for instance we've all heard of the greater good.  This idea is sold through the venue of community service. There is nothing wrong with community service until they REQUIRE it of you, then the terminolgy needs to change to enslavement. This community service will have ties to taking care of the environment, again nothing wrong with taking care of your surroundings, recycling, reusing etc. but when they can threaten to take away rights and freedoms we take for granted such as; owning a home because you only have a family of three when a family of 6 can USE that resource more efficiently, the real meaning of their IDEA becomes clear. These examples are real, and happen already in socialist countries like Cuba. Do you see the subtle way in which this has crept into the American way of life. (The phrases or words highlighted in red and yellow are cues; I suggest keeping the definition of socialism in the back of your mind as a filter when hearing or seeing these cues used in political speeches, at the pulpit, in your school etc.)

Economics:

London School of Economics
John Maynard Keynes, Fabian Socialist 
"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."

This rip-off of the American citizen began when the Federal Reserve Act was implemented in 1913.  A main supporter of this Act was John Rockefeller, a Fabian Socialist.

Politics:

Agenda 21 or Division for Sustainable Development
Council of Foreign Relations (also started by the Rockefellers in 1921)
The United Nations (started by Council of Foreign Relations)
Richard Haass: President of Foreign Relations
"The near monopoly of power once enjoyed by sovereign entities is being eroded, states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies. Globalization thus implies that sovereignty is not only becoming weaker in reality but that it needs to become weaker. The goal should be to redefine sovereignty for the era of globalization, to find a balance between a world of fully sovereign states and an international system of either world government or anarchy." For the Full Article click here

Mix of Politics and Religion:

Doctor Walter Rauschenbusch, Fabian Socialist
"Socialism can only succeed with religion."
Father of the Social Gospel wrote a book called Christianizing The Social Order.
His teachings/theology was that Jesus death was out of love for society but has no bearing on
sin or that He was Deity. And that our "higher thought" will give us answers the Bible can not give.
This gave birth to what we know as Dominion Theology or Kingdom NOW ministries. This falls under the humanist thinking that heaven can be made on earth through man's good works and promotes group salvation, the individual is not responsible for looking to God but sees himself as a god...more on this later (For those who know the Bible good works do not lead to salvation) 

Tony Blair, Former Prime Minister of Britain, Fabian Socialist  
" Despite all of the various obvious differences in policy and attitude and positioning a lot of the values of the Fabian Socialists and George Bernard Shaw stood for would be very recognizable, at least I hope they would in today's Labor Party." He said this in regards to the famous stained glass window Mr. Shaw commissioned but was lost and refound in 2006. Click here to see the window. it depitcs two men hammering/molding the world on a table, on the bottome people praying, above the world is the fabian emblem of the wolf in sheeps hide. (Look up Matthew 7:15-16) (keep Tony's words in mind when you watch the video on Mr. Shaw in the following section.)

"I think the place of faith in the era of globalization is the single biggest issue of the 21 century. In terms of how we live together, how we minimize the process of conflict and maxamize the propects of peace. The place of religion in our society is essential. I think religion could be in an era of globalization, a civilizing force."

Tony Blair started the Faith Foundation after becoming a Catholic, Rick Warren sits on this board. He was mentored by Peter Drucker who was mentored by...John Maynard Keynes, Fabian Socialist.

Pope XVI aligns with the Fabian Socialist in his encyclical. he called for reform of UN for true political authority, global tax and redistribution of wealth and energy.


Education:

Richard Rorty, (Grandson of Dr. Walter Rauschenbush) Professor of Philosphy At Stanford University, Fabian Socialist
"It seems to me that the reclative idea that we, heirs of the enlightenment, we sociocrats, most frequently use to criticize the conduct of various conversational partners is that of needing education in and to outgrow their primitive fear, hatred superstitions, is a concept which like I, most Americans who teach humanities or social science at colleges and universities invoke when we try to arrange things so that students that enter as bigoted, homophobic, religious, fundametalists (he's talking about those of the Christian Faith who believe Jesus is the Son of God, Died for OUR sins, was resurrected and that He is the only true way to know God) will leave college with views more like our own. (socialist, who believe Jesus was just a social justice hippie, and that they are in fact gods unto themselves..more later on this) The fundamentalists parents of out fundamentalist students think that the entire American liberal establishment is engaged in a conspiracy, the parents have a point." 

I highlighted enlightenment, what has he and other Fabian Socialist been enlightened with? Look up Genesis 11, it is the account of the Tower of Babel. Verse 4 talks about the tower man will build to reach into heaven. This is the beginning of religion, a man-made way to try to reach heaven and be like God according to their own set of rules. This "enlightenment" has it's root all the way back to this first ideology that man can do it on their own. (If you know your Bible, God has always shown His way to man through the covenant and then through Jesus, the new covenant and man consistantly rejects that) If you go further back the account of Lucifer wanting to be like God you'll see where these ideals are not new. (Isaiah 14:12-14)

It is simple to see where ideologies fall when you trace them back to their original source. There are two worldviews and those are; For or Against God.

Entertainment/Literature:

George Bernard Shaw, writer and co-founder of The Fabian Society
Click here to see this video and you can see why people are worried about the "end of life section found in the Health Care Bill but in fact is already funded for in the Stimulus Plan under the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research.

"As a socialist I have to preach as much as anyone the enormous power of the environment, we can change it, we must change it, there is absolutley no other sense in life then the task of changing it, what is the use of writing anything if there is not a will which finally molds chaos itself into a race of gods."

Religion:

First, did you notice the end part of Shaws quote...this isn't an isolated person in the Fabian system. This idea that man can be little gods is rampant in our society...it also has a name, Pagan Spirituality. Maybe you've heard the all too familiar sayings, phrases or quips...


"It is never too late to embrace your truth."
"What is your truth whispering?"
"Use compassion to stay on the path to your own truth
"There is only your truth."
Sounds good on the surface, but is rotten to the core.

These phrases are common in the New Age or Nature Worship sects of Pagan Spirituality and one doesn't have to go to church to be a part of it. Pick up a Self-Help book and you will most likely see these phrases in there.

If you read this entire article and clicked on all the links, I think you'll find it was impossible to seperate out the politics from the religion, the religion from the education, etc. It's one massive, united ball meant to collapse America and the most important thing, keep the masses in spiritual darkness.

I leave you with these words from a known communist as food for thought, "America is like a healthy body and its resistance is three-fold, patriotism, morality and spirituality. If we could undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." Joseph Stalin

It is here, don't be fooled! John 14:6 means more to me than ever....
