Do you worship the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Spirited: Pride (inflated perception of self) is the ‘perfect’ anti-God, anti-Truth, anti-higher authority condition. Pride however does not inflate in isolation from hatred of truth, covetousness, resentment and lust for power and domination over others, hence its’ resort to violence.
Violence is not merely the physical but rather always begins within the nonphysical, the mind and will. Thus resentment of ‘other’ (i.e., God and all who worship Him) necessitates the use of psychological violence which takes the form of lies, Big Lies, propaganda of the lie, coercion, terror, slander, ‘politics of personal destruction,’ and destructive ridicule and criticism aimed at deconstructing and/or unmaking the spiritual virtues of ‘other.’
With respect to the God of Revelation, the resentful individuals’ violent, evil intent can be heard in its’ voice, which dripping with contempt, ridicule and derogation speaks in scorn-filled terms such as the ‘Great Flying Spaghetti Monster.’
