Today’s Reading, Baruch 4:5-12, 27-29., Tells Us What Threatens Us:
“Fear not, my people! Remember, Israel, You were sold to the nations not for your destruction; It was because you angered God that you were handed over to your foes. For you provoked your Maker with sacrifices to demons, to no-gods; You forsook the Eternal God who nourished you, and you grieved Jerusalem who fostered […]
America, The European Union, and Robert Rabbit
Wednesday, the Tale of Robert Rabbit was told. Robert had a very long tapeworm living in his intestines. Every day, Tommy Tapeworm took more of Robert’s energy, sapping his mind and body. Worse, every week or so, Tommy Tapeworm added another segment. He was almost two feet long, twice as long as Robert. But, he […]
Great Day in The Church!
Today is the Feast Day of Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. To Catholic Fundamentalists, these holy, powerful Angels are revered and respected as Top Programming Assistants. They loyally assist The Loving Programmer to do His Will in Heaven and on earth. Catholics know from Today’s Reading that The Throne is surrounded by angels, numbering in […]
Understanding Political Issues
Once upon a time, there was a rabbit named Robert. He weighed about four pounds. Poor Robert was infected with a foot-long tapeworm named Tommy. Robert’s energy was so drained by Tommy that he was napping when a half-dozen ticks that hopped on him. He spent even more time sleeping when Tommy Tapeworm added a […]
We Are Allowed to Play in Sandboxes
Those who operate in secular enterprises quickly come to a conclusion: “I am not allowed to actually fix anything that’s wrong at higher levels.” All are aware, for instance, that Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme. Since it’s backed up by the government’s ability to confiscate, an ability that’s supported by armed force, no one […]
Jesus Does not Condemn all Protestants.
In Today’s Reading, Luke, 9:46-50, the last half of the Gospel has the most beloved of the Disciples asking what to do with those who use the Name of Jesus to drive corrupting viruses from human programs. “An argument arose among the disciples about which of them was the greatest. Jesus realized the intention of […]
The Creation Program is, Essentially, Incorruptible. We Human Programs are Corruptible.
When The Loving Programmer wrote and downloaded The Creation Program, it was done so that the viruses could not corrupt it. The sun shines, the earth revolves and rotates, the moon follows its programmed path, plants grow, gravity pulls, and “God’s in His Heaven, all’s right with the world”. We human programs, operating within the […]
Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, Split Personalities
We can use our free will to have ourselves move in two directions. Each of us, at every moment, is either moving closer to, or farther from, God, The Loving Programmer. Each move brings us where we want to go at the time. A happy human program is always moving toward The Loving Programmer. Worldly […]
The 7% Solution vs. The New Nobility
By reducing all government agencies’ budgets by 7%, Western nations would take an important step toward prosperity. But, real spending cuts are not even being suggested. Even in Europe, where the peripheral countries’ spending has driven them into collapse, spending isn’t being reduced. Automatic increases in salaries, benefits, and pensions are so locked in, and […]
Markets Tanking
The world’s stock markets are not exactly in free-fall, but the declines are obvious. Values of productive groups of people in millions of companies around the world are dropping. Catholic Fundamentalism looks for the causes of such reductions in stock values and concludes: “There is an ongoing war between those who hate and steal from […]
