What This Blog is About, and Initial Post

This site is about things having to do with Christian mysticism, particularly as relates to the Revelations of John, current events, and world trends vis a vis the Bible and Christianity.


First, some notes regarding this. The posts herein are intended for thinking people as well as people who believe in Jesus. There will be things said in those posts for purposes of intellectual/philosophical/spiritual/mystical discussion that may irritate people of certain ethnicities, religions and so on.


Things will be said like this:


"There are people who say there is a 'Zionist Cabal that controls key aspects of the American economy and media.' With the exception of the terminology, I think that this is mostly a true statement. It is a Cabal of rich people who happen to have a network, and the network they have is mostly populated by people who are ethnically Jewish, but it is not the sort of thing that is exclusive to either ethnic or religiously Jewish people. It has more to do with the fact they are rich and powerful. What gets less easy to state with certainty is whether or not they attempt to apply their network to influencing public opinion. Some people seem to be rabidly convinced that they do, that in fact it is the whole reason they got into those businesses. Then again, why are those rabid people so rabid?"


If you are Jewish and this offends you, or not and it offends you, reading this blog will not inform or enlighten you.


Posts will also say things like this:


"Many Muslims are hypocrites. So are many Christians and atheists. This does not mean to equate those three belief systems, just to note that all of the practitioners of these can be as hypocritical as anyone else."


If you follow any of the religions mentioned above and are offended, then you are not intellectually advanced enough to read this blog. If you are an atheist and you don't think you have a religion, then you are not intellectually advanced enough to read this blog.


finally, things like this:


"Many African Americans were rightly enraged when the ludicrously racist things that were made public that were said by the fellow who (as of this writing) owns the LA Clippers. I was simply astounded when I heard the one audio clip where was disagreeing with his girlfriend that an utterly racist thing he had just finished saying was 'not racist', when it couldn't be any more racist. If there was a picture of the statement, it would be in the encyclopedia under 'racist'. 


Then, later, Snoop Dogg posted an Instagram video where he called this guy, whose last name is Sterling, various things including a racist, but he also included a racist slur used for white people among the things he said. Now, was Snoop Dogg being racist? I didn't feel that way, even though I'm white. However, with regards to the word he used, he was being racist. Do I think he's a racist? Not enough data. He was sounding pissed off, not at white people, but a this one white person.  But, I don't know the guy in the recording, and he was definitely sounding like a racist.


Also, was the team owner's girlfriend justified in making the recording public? Even though this was a conversation between two friends, where a higher standard of confidence is correct and required? I actually think she was, because it must have been an immense personal burden for her to hear those words, like: and 'He said this before, and I realized I'm on this jerk's side. I've got to get him to say it again while I record this because nobody will believe me otherwise'."


If you cannot parse statements like the previous, which is as close to a true opinion held by the author, and expressed the best he can, you should not read this blog, because you will not get the value of what is being said, and you will be confused and offended.  The author is not an expert writer, he tries to be clear, that was the best he could do.


Now, he will also link to other things to illustrate my thoughts. He will link to media that may have information that is useful, and other information that is worthless, blatantly incorrect, or even hateful.  The aspects of what is linked to that the author believes are useful will be indicated as clearly as he is able.


Finally, why say "the author" and not "I". That is because the blog is not about the author, but about what he thinks, believes, has learned and/or what he experiences and has experienced.


So I will get started, then.
