“You are as Gods.”

“You are as Gods.” the Bible tells us. As Catholic Fundamentalists, we realize the The Unprogrammed Programmer is telling us that we have been programmed with similarities to He Who programmed us. We have been given the ability to program. Farmers plan (program) what seeds they will plant. Geneticists re-program various sorts of grain programs to produce the seed that their employers try to get the farmers to incorporate into their planting programs. Others program ways to get the seeds into the ground and get them to grow best. At the end of the grain-farmers’ programs are various programs for reaping and harvesting machines that precede the human programs for grain storage and transportation. Every single one of us spends our days programming, programming, and more programming.

Some humans are better at programming than others. The best human programmers try to figure out what The Programmer has programmed them to do best. They realize that each human program has been given unique gifts and abilities to program for themselves, and they encourage each to do best with the programming skills programmed within us.

The worst programmers program power structures, like Cuba’s secret police, that force people to operate according programs that force them to give money to them. The Unprogrammed Programmer doesn’t like them. “Esau have I hated” describes how He feels about human programs who won’t do His will. In that case, Esau should have been at home comforting his dying father, obeying the “honor thy father” operating instruction. Instead, he used his free will to choose to go hunting. He favors human programs that use their own free will to find and then do His will for them. So, the Esau-souls among us lose their inheritances.

He has left each of us human programs plenty of operating instructions, and has provided each of us with the free will to decide to follow them, or not.
