Jesus of Nazareth

If I hear one more self-proclaimed agnostic, atheist, Darwinist scientist say they cannot understand how any culture would worship a historical figure who sacrificed his only son on the cross for us! Let’s just say such an inept philosophical statement characterizes the nature of the Extreme Right in America. From now on we could just call the Extreme Right the anti-Christ. That would cut out the spin and middlemen of which American media and politics are so fond. To even believe an academic-level scientist could utter such a narcissistic phrase embodies the ridiculous self-righteousness of man at an unusually dark age in world history. All Biblical pointers magnetically seem to be drawn to this horseshit. If we as a civilization wanted to avoid Armageddon, we could just suck up the humility to ensure our existence continues on the planet earth. Why is it in our lifetime we have to re-live original sin? Why is our generation plagued with grandiose and epic human drama with which to contend? Some of us just want to get on with our mortal lives. God and the preservation of the human race can be too daunting a subject. The Nationalism of Pop is a fitting title for the music that represents the American anit-Christ. It, like this misguided view of Christianity, simple speaks only for its meager self. “I can’t be bothered with you.” The reason why this music has no soul is because it has no pain. A soul is not created until there has been pain. The process from which a human being creates a soul is pain. “If anyone is listening…. The ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate example of loss, was God offering his only son to us.” It was the example of the most painful sacrifice. It was meant to show us that no matter how much we suffer in everyday life (for those Christians, Jews, and Muslims who admit suffering is a part of life) no one could have suffered more than God. His sacrifice was meant to teach the agnostic, atheist, Darwinist scientists that their idolatry, their narcissistic worship of the graven image of science means nothing without the suffering of man. Science is meant to serve man, and man is not science. Man is a human, and this realm of humanity is a completely different aesthetic with which America quickly is losing touch. The humanities are music, drama, art, language, and the myriad of other things which attempt to personify man and his epic struggle with the universe. If man were meant to be science, then we would not have a soul.
