“Fascism” is just a word representing the amount of false pride
a) to which a person chains his or her self;
b) to which people chain themselves.
Ego, it is, that misleads you into thinking, that you are not simply a butterfly.
Yet you are, simply a butterfly, mostly aware of what you must do in the form of never-ending chores, while you are most-of-the-time un-aware of how you are held aloft.
The Big Egos / The Big Fascists tell you that *it’s all you* / *it’s all them* ... but they offer you only hot air that appears to keep you aloft for a while as it indelicately works against your structural security.
On the other Hand, is Jesus telling us that He holds us aloft; and when you consider how small are your chores in relation to how great are the forces that truly keep you aloft, that may cause a body to consider Him and thank Him.
Seems to me.
Your choices are
- to amount, you are assured by Big
- to be held, we are assured by Him
To Big, you are a useful ... amount.
To Him, you are a butterfly relative to the immensity. He watches you struggle with your ever-present, un-relenting chores, but He is aware of so much more that holds you aloft.
You have two choices
- the center of your universe
- a part of He who is.
Before you start pontificating on how improbable our existence is, you may want to learn what probability is. Just because there is some 1 in 10^2747277318234 chance that carbon atoms aimlessly drifting through the universe would randomly assemble into the Earth and you on it, doesn’t mean that’s how that happened. The processes of nature do not happen “randomly” in the sense that every outcome is equally likely. Nature’s processes play with loaded dice, where the desired outcome is far more likely than the others, and, like a casino owner faced with players using loaded dice and marked cards, you would be wise to take such things into account in your calculations. So go ahead and find out how many other stars have Jupiters (lots) before saying how special Sol is that it has one. Or how many other planets have circular orbits, or how many stars burn steadily without incinerating everything around them. You just might find out that the Earth is not so special after all.
I find it funny that we get lectured about pride from someone who has claimed to have had a one-on-one conversation with the divine.
I'm pretty sure the odds of me existing were 1:1. In fact I'd bet on it if I were the gambling type.
So it is utterly Godless to put Gay + Pride together!
