Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2026-120: Politics Matters

The idea of submerging your personal interest in individuality into the good of the whole sounds very noble, however, it is totally antithetical to western values.  In Christianity, you have an individual who comes before God and stands before God as an individual.  It really doesn’t matter his ethnic group, his social standing, his sex or non-sex.  You stand before God by yourself.  You are judged by yourself.  In socialism, the individual is dissolved into the good of the whole and what you want is of absolutely no consequence.  You will be brainwashed to the point where you will agree and think that anything is right as long as the Dear Leader tells you so.  If you need a reminder about this, you can read the final chapter of 1984 where Smith starts, declaring his love for Big Brother .  Take that over to other religions.  Hinduism and Buddhism are a good example of where this goes because their ultimate reality, their ultimate goal is Nirvana where they as an individual disappear into the vast sea of the Force.  You as an individual cease to exist.  That is the goal.

These young airheads that are so excited about socialism seem to forget that in the end socialism really doesn’t care what they want or doesn’t care about them.  They are expected to sacrifice everything and they do so.  But they think in the end they are going to be in the elite, in the managerial classes, the ones who are getting the cream from the top of our skim milk.  In reality, they will get whatever is left over and whatever the elites decide they want them to have.

It’ll be a sad day when they wake up in their social paradise.
