                                                                   Mayday!

     On the first of May, those who've gained power over their neighbors at the point of a gun celebrate their success.  They often do so by showing off their deadliest weapons in big parades.    

     No one on the other side ever criticizes the the most brutal of their leftist brethren on the reviewing stands. 

     Every leftist dreams of being on the reviewing stand, exulting in being able to direct the men and weapons passing by on their enemies.  Even more, they dream of being able to wipe out their friends.

     The spirit of Jim Jones and Pol Pot is strong within them.  "More death!" is ever their goal.

                                                             Neighbor-haters.

     Those who choose to hate their neighbors rarely realize that hating has become a way of life.  Most of them hate themselves, spouses, children, and parents.  Neighbor-haters wrap their consuming hatred in robes of concern.

     "We only want to help.", they say in the beginning stages of their endless attempts at takeover.  Some believe them.  Some, because they lack the ability to understand.  Others are too afraid to point out, that no "help" they have ever provided has helped anyone but themselves.

     Neighbor-haters have sunk their souls so far into their own vanity that they are unaware that the God Who programmed them loves them.  By rejecting His love, they automatically opened themselves up to the hate that possesses them.

                                                       Questions about Avebury.

     Avebury is an ancient monument near Stonehenge.  It's much larger, and, at first glance, less dramatic.

     The circular trench is over a thousand feet long, with a diameter of 350'.  Erosion has filled in the ditch.  Originally, it was thirty to forty feet deeper than the ground on the inside of the circle.  Excavations show that it had very steep sides.  The bottom was so perfectly flat that water levels must have been used when carefully chiselling and polishing it out of the underlying chalk. 

     The original sides were close to perpendicular.  The sides must have been lined with planks or logs to keep from being filled in during the thousands of years that the structure was in active use.

     Questions:  Was the remarkably deep trench a kind of "reverse pyramid", with tunnel(s) protruding from one or more points at the bottom of the trench to locations inside or outside the trench.

     How was water removed from the bottom of the ditch to keep it from being a moat?  During excavations, it was discovered that there were no water stains on the underlying chalk, either on the walls or on the flat bottom. 

     Did a huge cover keep water from accumulating?  Were pumps used to remove water?  The more Avebury is explored, the more mystifying it becomes.

     Catholic Fundamentalists believe that the children of Ham built all the stone and earth temples throughout Europe.  They were later replaced by the sons and daughters of Shem.

                                                       America's energy policy.

     Pundits often complain that "America does not have an energy policy."  This complaint is followed by much head-shaking, frowning, and other indications of pseudo-intellectual disapproval.

     America does have an energy policy.  Energy must be as expensive as possible. 

     As a result, manufacturing jobs, dependent on energy, are disappearing to areas of low energy cost.  Iceland, with cheap geothermal power, is becoming a major aluminum producer while North American and European aluminum producers are shutting down.

     While jobs are intentionally destroyed, home energy costs are rising rapidly.  30-40% increases for home electricity are common.  Natural gas, abundant off most of America's coast, is "off-limits".  Environmentalists are not responsible.  They are mere patsies, hired by powerful government and industry organizations to limit fuel sources. 

     America's energy policy is to make power expensive.  America has been taken over by those who hate their neighbors.

                                                        Looting by consolidation.

     From the earliest days, consolidation of smaller units has gone on.   It is as inevitable that mom 'n pop's corner grocery be replaced by larger chains as it was that the petty kingdoms of Europe were absorbed into larger countries and empires.  One Alexander is far more efficient than the smaller rulers he defeated.  One France led by a single-minded Napoleon overran Europe.  A lone Rockefeller destroyed hundreds of smaller competitors.

     As businesses are consolidated, entrepreneurs move into new areas.  Then, those areas become consolidated.  Many try to come up with systems to preserve, for instance, "family farms".  Such ideas never work.

                                                       Reality vs. Energy Policy

     It's fun to see how the government analysis of favored fads differs from reality:

"Ethanol, touted as an alternative fuel of the future, may eat up far more energy during its creation than it winds up giving back.", according to UC Berkeley geoengineering professor Tad Patzek.  He calculated that up to six times more energy is used to make ethanol than the finished fuel actually contains.

"The fossil energy expended during production alone", he concluded, "easily outweighs the consumable energy in the end product."

     Patzek believes that those who think using the "green" fuel will reduce fossil fuel consumption are deluding themselves -- and the federal government's practice of subsidizing ethanol by offering tax exemptions to oil refiners who buy it is a waste of money.

Patzek began an exhaustive analysis of his own -- one that painted an even bleaker picture of the ethanol industry's long- term sustainability.

"Taking grain apart, fermenting it, distilling it and extruding it uses a lot of fossil energy," he said. "We are grasping at the solution that is by far the least efficient."

     Patzek's report also highlights the potential environmental hazards of ethanol production.

"When you dump nitrogen fertilizer on corn fields, it runs away as surface water, into the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico," he said.

     The excess nitrogen introduced into the water causes out-of-control algae growth, creating an oxygen-poor "dead zone" where other marine plants and animals cannot survive. Ethanol releases high levels of nitrogen oxide, one of the principal ingredients of smog, when burned.

     One gov't scientist differs:  "His (Patzek's) figures are accurate for older nitrogen fertilizer plants, but newer plants use only half the energy of those that were built 35 years ago," he said. He also cited the increasing popularity of no-till farming methods, which can reduce a corn farm's diesel usage by 75 percent. (That's still not even close to break-even!)  "With hydrogen fuel, people are willing to say, '25 years from now it will be good.' Why can't we also be forward-looking when it comes to ethanol?" (Because it will waste a trillion dollars?)

Cornell University ecology Professor David Pimentel, however, sides with Patzek, calling production of ethanol "subsidized food burning."

"The USDA isn't looking at factors like the energy it takes to maintain farm machinery and irrigate fields in their analysis," he said, adding that the agency's ethanol report contains overly optimistic assumptions about the efficiency of farming practices. "The bottom line is that we're using far more energy in making ethanol than we're getting out."

Government loves to prop up fraud with subsidies.  They never last:

"If government funds become short, subsidies for fuels will be looked at very carefully," he said. "When they are, there's no way ethanol production can survive."

                                           Global warming:  excuses for death.

     Chinese officials congratulate themselves on aborting hundreds of millions of babies.  "We are helping to stop global warming.", they proudly proclaim.

     The other side often justifies death by popular fads.  Though Europe is disappearing from its own low birth rates, there are never quite as many deaths as they need.  So, the murder of unborn children is encouraged in the name of "saving the planet".

      Global warming is embraced with such fervor because it lets them feel good about their killing.  Their own enlightenment blinds them to the pain and agony they inflict.

                                                           Made my day!

     As some of you noticed in the web site heading, every week there is a Catholic Fundamentalist interpretation of The Church's Sunday Scripture readings.  The three Scripture readings are "technically updated" in light of God's programming power, but the Psalm reading isn't re-translated, more because of my own sloth than anything.  So, seeing the passage from Psalm 145 this morning was a joyful surprise:

       10 All your works give you thanks, O LORD and your faithful bless you. 11 They speak of the glory of your reign and tell of your great works, 12 Making known to all your power, the glorious splendor of your rule.  

     If there is one thing that the catholicfundamentalism.com web site has been doing for over a year and a half, it is to "speak of he glory of your reign and tell of your great works, making known to all your power, the glorious splendor of your rule."

     So, if we're telling people about the good news that God programs in three dimensions (at least that many), we are included among those mentioned as His faithful, as in "your faithful bless you."

     Heaven rarely seemed closer.

                                               Calvin helped Babylon's resurgence.

     Sacrificing children was an important part of many Hamite religions from Babylon to Carthage.  The faithful Jews fought against it, as did, and does, the Roman Catholic Church.

     Calvin, in his attacks against The Church, justified pre-destination.  The elect were automatically saved, and were generally identifiable in this world by their wealth.  This notion attracted a great many wealthy people to denominations that accepted this teaching.

     Those in favor of child sacrifice are, today, only able to kill unborn children.  One way that some justify their desires is to apply Calvin's doctrine.  "If the unborn are done away with, it is God's will.   He has pre-destined them to death."

     For us to understand those who hate their most helpless neighbors, we get away from heresies.  We become freer of the tendency to sin as we accept the teachings of The Church.  She teaches that all of us have free will, so, we are free to choose love or hate, life or death.

     Pity those who choose wrongly, and pity their victims, as well.  While we may be repulsed by the death and pain that those who have chosen the other side inflict, our souls, surrounded by death and lies, often grow callused.  We must try to let ourselves feel their victim's pain.  We must not become inured to the deaths and sufferings of others.

     In thanking God for our love of Him and His Church, we must not fail to ask for opportunities to help.

                                                 Consider the enormity of their lies.

     Those who hate their neighbors tell endless lies to impoverish and destroy.  They have chosen not to love, so are left with hate.  They reject truth, so must embrace lies.  Their lies are vast and interlocking.  Some parts of the lies are repeated.  "We only want to help." recurs through the ages.  "Change is needed." is always popular.  "We have to get something done." lets them sound concerned.  "I am worried about over-population." gives them a reason to kill and loot. "We need a little top-down planning." helps them take over.

     In our time, the deadliest lies concern abortion.  Almost as murderous are the DDT lies that cause the needless deaths of millions and the suffering of hundreds of millions.  The Global Warming lies are large and complex, fooling billions of people into thinking it is better that poor foreigners should die rather than accelerating Global Warming by their very presence.

     Death is ever their goal.  Some savor the quick death of the abortionist.  Others, the slow death of malingering malaria.  Those a little less bloodthirsty labor to drive their neighbors into greater poverty.

     All pain and suffering is secondary to some imaginary goal.  "Without reducing carbon dioxide, we will all be dead in a few decades."  Hysteria is piled upon hysteria, and still they go on.

                                                                 Odd notion.

     As you've noticed, periodically I write about light.  It's a mystery as to how light gets into the brain and is stored there, to be recalled during dreams and memories.

     About six this morning, I awoke from a dream that traced light as it passed through the lens, the vitreous humor, and retina on its way to the brain.  By the time it got to the storage area, it was transformed into readable letters that were stored. 

     The letters were bright yellow, rows of them written on something smaller than molecules.   Surprisingly, the shapes with which God had programmed the light to be stored and recalled in our minds had familiar shapes.   They resembled Greek, Hebrew, and Latin letters, some similar to what we use every day.  Others were slightly different, but close.   For all the colors, shades, and shapes we see, there weren't as many letters as I'd have thought would be needed to describe, store, and recall everything we see.

     I hope there's an upcoming dream that describes what sounds and smells do when they get into the mind.

                                                                    And,

     Dreams are made of light that is recalled and rearranged.  Our spirit, or soul, recalls and combines things together to give us insight that we may not get by seeing things as we usually do when awake.
     Our spirit and soul endlessly seek God and truth.  The other side works to keep lies and confusion busy at work destroying the idea of order.  Our dreams are often reflect the battle between order and disorder, sanctity and sin.   Each mind is a battleground for warring spirits.

                                                      Life in liberal paradise.

     The Cuba Transition Project tells us that Cubans are free to do anything except:

• Travel abroad without government permission • Change jobs without government permission • Change residence without government permission • Access the Internet without government permission (the Internet is closely monitored and controlled by the government. Only 1.67% of the population has access to the Internet) • Send their children to a private or religious school (all schools are government run, there are no religious schools in Cuba) • Watch independent or private radio or TV stations (all TV and radio stations are owned and run by the government Cubans illegally watch/listen to foreign broadcasts) • Read books, magazines or newspapers, unless approved/published by the government (all books, magazines and newspapers are published by the government) • Receive publications from abroad or from visitors (punishable by jail terms under Law 88) • Visit or stay in tourist hotels, restaurants, and resorts (these are off-limits to Cubans) • Seek employment with foreign companies on the island, unless approved by the government • Run for public office unless approved by Cuba’s Communist Party • Own their own businesses, unless they are very small and approved by the government and pay onerous taxes • Retain a lawyer, unless approved by the government • Choose a physician or hospital. Both are assigned by the government • Refuse to participate in mass rallies and demonstrations organized by the Cuban Communist Party • Criticize the Castro regime or the Cuban Communist Party, the only party allowed in Cuba.

     American and European "liberals" are not outraged at this lack of liberty.  Instead, they praise the Cuban government at every opportunity.  By doing so, they proclaim that they are living a lie.  That's how they identify each other.  "Oh, good.  You're a liar, too."

                                                          Neptune rising.

     worldclimatechange.com has interesting information about temperature increases on Neptune.  That planet's temperature is going up, and, since 1950, its temperatures on a graph exactly mirror the earth's temperature and the sun's energy output.

     It is very much worth looking at their graphs.

     There are no SUVs on Neptune or Mars, whose temperatures also closely track changes in solar energy output.

                                               The Church is always under attack.

     The Church is attacked in different ways.  Henry VIII's government would execute priests, bishops and believers who would not elevate his syphilitic egomania to Papal levels.  During the French Revolution, priests and nuns were hunted down and executed.  Later, socialists of the national and international variety did the same thing.

     Now, The Church is attacked by magnifying the sins of a tiny handful.  In Ireland, endless accusations, made by those who receive money from the state, are leveled against many Irish orphanages and schools run by The Church.

     The state wants to take over those operations to provide salaries for other government employees.  The attacks on The Church's institutions have been relentless, and often, state-subsidized.  Neurotics, whiners, and wannabes are paraded before an obedient media to complain about their "lost innocence".

     Most of this is to help the state nationalize child care.  It is almost impossible for many to calculate how much wealthier each and every one of us would be if taxes were lower and if services were privatized.

     The Church, motivated by love and operating with efficiency, is the very opposite of government.  The hatred of the latter for the former is very understandable. 

     What is more difficult to understand is the love of the former for those who participate in the attacks of the latter.

                                                      Energy independence.

     Leading Congressional leftists continually proclaim the need for "energy independence". 

At the same time, they fight against drilling for oil in Alaska's proven fields.  They fight against drilling for oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico, areas near where they ignore that China (with trillions of dollars in extra cash) is drilling within Cuban waters.  Every leftist works to keep more atomic energy plants from being built.

     Then, they have the gall to say, "America needs to be energy independent."  Their dexterity in avoiding consistency is marvelous to behold as they bob and weave their way down the slippery slope.

     They are among history's most blatant liars.  Lies and bribes flow like water in the dying days of once-wealthy democracies.

                                                             Truth sets us free.

     Catholic Fundamentalism offers escape from the piles of lies that crush many souls.  From our earliest days, we confront the other side's vast support structure.  Chronologically, their lies begin with the "big bang", and go on to "evolution".

     Every such lie is cleverly designed to separate more souls from God.  Once we realize that God has the power to program in many dimensions, we see saving truth in that most simplifying of notions:  He can program particles, compile them into structures and beings, and have them move through time.

     As our awareness of His power grows, the lies of the other side become more obvious.  As we grow closer to God, we do not hate and despise those who make a living by lying, though that's often the beginning of our move toward salvation.

     It is easy to become angry at those who turn imaginary problems into excuses for taxes, slavery, and, finally, death.  They are poor, lost souls.  The only thing that can save them is the love of those who understand how much The Programmer hates their beliefs.

     When we realize what awaits them, and grow in understanding about how long that pain will last, we can but give thanks to The Programmer, Program, and Holy Wireless Connector for providing the New Program.

                                                           Blame the victim.

     The other side enjoys frequent "blame the victims" dialogues.  I have personally heard teacher union representatives blame working mothers for their childrens' learning and discipline problems.  They never once considered that they, themselves, cause the high taxes that force many mothers into the workplace.

     "Let's feel better about ourselves by blaming the victim." is encouraged by Calvinistic doctrines like "pre-destination", or, in modern terms, "serves 'em right".     As Catholic Fundamentalists, we must learn to replace such Christian heresies with loving our neighbors. 

     But, criticizing our neighbors is so much easier than loving them.  Unfortunately for our beloved vanity, choosing the former over the latter will keep us out of Heaven.

                                                          It's always Babylon.

     Many people discover there are groups of people who justify their own gain by impoverishing their neighbors.  Selfish people and groups will go to any length to gain possession or control of the things The Programmer programmed.  They will lie, steal, and kill to amass gold, silver, diamonds, stocks, properties, status, and subordinates.

     Most of us have identified groups of people who can be held responsible for taking advantage of others.  "I hate those dirty _______s!" is a type of thinking to be avoided.

     It is easy to take a great deal of personal satisfaction in identifying and condemning groups who try to destroy others.  It is a challenge to love them.  Groups who violate His Commandments to take advantage of others are, in their unhappy nature, Babylonian. 

     Their greed outweighs love so much that they are blind to God and His commandment to "love your neighbor".

     The poor souls so overwhelmed by worldly desires that they hurt their neighbors are likely to go to Hell.  We encourage the evil within them by hating them.  Painful as it is, we have to love them to lessen the risk of spending eternity with the Babylonians.

                                                        Dealing with hatred.

     There is a Culture of Death.  Its most enthusiastic supporters are filled with hate.  Is anyone surprised? 

     A month or so ago, PEAS, GGL (PEAS, Green, Good, and Little) was mentioned as an mnemonic to help remember the Seven Deadly Sins, Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.  Hatred is the end result of the demons who specialize in the various sins.  The fabric woven of their specialized threads is hate.  

     Those demons are at work in all our minds.  We can, and should, become aware when they become active.  We will often have a sinful thought pop into our minds.  Such thoughts should be countered by immediately recalling that we are to love God and our neighbor.

     Catholic Fundamentalists believe that "God is love."  The opposite is true, "The Devil is hate".  Those who chose to aid the Culture of Death are our enemies.  They hate us.  They would like to see us enslaved, then dead.

     Love them.   Pity them.  Their minds are overwhelmed by the very spirits whom they dare not believe are real. 

     Such poor souls have only a short time to fool themselves into thinking they are enjoying life before their souls are woven into the fabric of eternal agony.

                                                  Little bits of love are like yeast.

     Kindness and charity are never forgotten.  We should be both kind and charitable.  The kindness of others to us helped us to be better.  We should pass on those blessings to others at every opportunity.

                                                       Taxpayer distractions.

"Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will make good on his losing bet with Ottawa Mayor Larry O'Brien today: Ravenstahl will be flying the Ottawa Senators flag at the City County Building while wearing a Senators jersey. "

     This is the sort of mindless silliness that we should learn to identify as "distracting taxpayers".   Most "news" is broadcast to distract taxpayers from real problems.  Distracted people are not looking for ways to redirect cash flows to protect themselves.

     Most cities have several TV channels.  All of them broadcast virtually the same news, often showing the same stories in the same order.   First, there is "news".  Then, "weather". "Sports" follow.

     Watchers think that they are kept up to date by watching the "news".  They could not be more wrong.

     Any television station that said:

"Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will waste a billion taxpayer dollars building a new hockey stadium so that multi-millionaires will become billionaires.  He is cheerfully ravaging the people of his city to do so.  Another mayor using professional sports as an opportunity to loot taxpayers is Larry O'Brien, the mayor of Ottowa." 

would have it's broadcasting license taken away.

     That's news to many people.

     Thanks to John Brignell, we now can count the marvelous lies and exaggerations of a horde of professional liars and exaggerators.   Each of those lies has a legion of supporters.  Mongol hordes may have done less damage.

     A couple of lies are missing.  Most notably "penguins invading the Amazon" and "popcorn crops destroyed by kernels popping in the fields".

                                               God more easily enters open minds.

     For Catholic Fundamentalists, the problem of free will vs. determinism is solved with the idea that there is a Programmer with the power to program creatures with free will.

     This is one of those foundational thoughts that can utterly change the way we see the world.  That's why it's ignored, despised, and finally hated, by the other side. 

     When Catholic Fundamentalists begin with their new definition, "God is a Being with the power to program energies and compile them into beings and structures that move through time.", it's reasonable.

     When we add to that definition, "God is a being with the power to program creatures within His Program that have free will.", we are still being reasonable.

    We suddenly see a God so powerful that all the myths and legends from the Egyptians' earth-bearing turtle to Darwin's time-wasting notions of evolution are seen for the silliness they are.  We are simply left with God and the Roman Catholic Church.  All else is weeded out, made unnecessary by a greater appreciation of The Programmer's overwhelming power.

     Many Catholics have had their thought process corrupted by accepting various liberal positions on things like "evolution" and the "big bang".  As a result, many over-educated Catholics have more trouble conceiving of "A God Who can program in three dimensions" than do Fundamental Protestants.

     So, we, as Paul, "go to the Gentiles." as well as to the Catholics.

                                                  How much do they love death?

     In 1972, modern Babylonians published "Silent Spring".  That testimony of death "justified" getting rid of DDT.  That, in turn, allowed mosquitos to cause fifty million malaria deaths.  Several times more people suffered horribly, but not fatally, from the same disease.

     About that time, the same neo-Babylonians forced abortion on America.  Fifty million American children were murdered in their mothers' wombs.  Others have had their lives worsened by the haunting crime.

     Still, the same lost souls fight against DDT and for abortion.  That's how much they hate life and love death.  Liberals from the Culture of Death have intentionally killed a hundred million people.

      Our local paper asked several of us readers for a 30 second "advice to graduates" speech:

     "As you embark on your journey through adulthood, remember how much your ticket will cost.  You will each spend half of your life working to pay taxes. 

     You will work for two and a half days of each week to pay income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes.  At the end of your journey, you will pay inheritance taxes.

     Don’t let this depress you.  Those who enslave us are poor, lost souls, addicted to the things of Creation.  It is a far higher calling to love those who take from us than it is to hate and despise them.

     We have been told to “love our enemies”.  That command, the most challenging of spiritual challenges, is met by loving those who tax us into slavery.

     You will see that many taxes are wasted on imaginary problems.  We were taxed to “fix global freezing”.  We are now taxed to “fix global warming”.  We must even love those who lie for money.

     It's important to have children.  Pay no attention to those who would replace life and love with death and hate.  Each child’s soul will live forever.  You have nothing better to do than have, raise, and love as many children as you can."

                              One of the oldest prayers (from 50 A.D.!) is hard to memorize:

     O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.  O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers.  O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.  Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.  St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us.  Amen

This is may be the only time-sensitive prayer.  It must be said in the morning.  If said for 9 consecutive mornings, desires are granted.  "It has seldom been known to fail." is the usual qualifier for prayers.

Catholic Fundamentalists believe that all prayers are heard, and that all are answered, but not always the way we want.

                                                   Is there relativity of sin?

     Some Cult members are brought up to think it’s all right to lie to those outside the cult.  “Nothing wrong with lying to them.” they have been taught to believe. 

     Along with that comes the cultists’ notion that it’s all right to steal from outsiders.   Some think they have the right, if not the duty, to kill outsiders.

     Would a monk in a monastery, who dies in a state of mortal sin after intentionally missing a mass before he has a chance to go to Confession be as destined for Perdition as a cultist who committed mass murder?

     On the other hand, one reading of the slaughters in Africa may ask, “Would an armed cultist, raised from early youth to kill upon command, who was charged with the duty of machine-gunning a family, be saved if, out of pity, he spared one child after killing thousands of people?” 

     Are transgressions in a permissive society punished less than those taking place in a culture with a clear awareness of sin?  Is a wanton teenager who sincerely believes that “God doesn’t care about that.” punished the same way as one who intentionally disobeys a Commandment?

     The best answer may be:  "The only thing that matters is that I do my best."  Thinking we can do God's job of judging is not the best way to spend our time.  It may be among the worst.

                                                            Fish out of water.

     A fish on shore writhes and wriggles desperately to get back to the water.  Our souls have the same urge to be close to the God Who created them. 

     Like the fish struggling mightily to overcome obstacles that separate it from the source of its life, there are impediments between us and God.  When we are separated from Him, we would do well to think of the fish's frantic fight for mere water.

                                                             Prayer specialists.

     As you may have realized by now, Catholic Fundamentalists look at God, His Angels and Saints, in fact, the whole Heavenly Kingdom, as a huge, spiritual programming operation that's able to produce and compile particles.  

     On earth, Microsoft, among other companies, was allowed to be brought into existence to provide a crude, human parallel to the vast Heavenly Programming Operation.

     When someone has a problem with Windows, one doesn't call Bill Gates.  He calls a specialist in the appropriate department and location.  There's less clutter than crying out over the Microsoft Intercom, "Bill Gates, please help me download my new Windows update."

     As on earth, Prayers (requests for programming changes) are handled better when addressed to a specialist, like St. Mary, St. Joseph, St. Anthony, or to one of the angels, like St. Michael, St. Gabriel, or St. Raphael.   Then, the Department Specialist can get authorization for a programming change from Whomever has been programmed with that authority.

     It must be remembered that the answering of one prayer often runs counter to the prayers of another.  For instance, if two people are praying to get the same job, the long term ramifications must be considered by high-level programmers, so that the being asked to intercede on one's behalf doesn't inadvertently do damage to The Programmer's long-term designs.

    One can barely imagine sorting out the billions of prayer requests pouring into Heaven to win lotteries.  Someone's prayer will be answered.

    The Roman Catholic Church has long recognized the efficacy of asking Angels and Saints to intercede for them.  It behooves us to pick the right one.  First of all, it shows respect for The Programmer's Organizational Chart.  Secondly, it puts us more in tune with the underlying reality of the way things are.

                                      On Memorial Day, we do well to remember.

     There is an old saying:  "Jesus Christ was willing to die for you.  So were many, many soldiers."  Every day, we give thanks to Jesus Christ's willing sacrifice.   Sometimes, we should think of the soldiers who died defending our country, and of their families.  And, of the families they did not have.

     God bless them all.

                                                           Natural inclination.

     Each soul is inclined to move toward God.  The Other Side does what it can to stop such movement.

     Intellectually, the other side anchors souls with structures of thoughts that keep people from seeking God.  Godless ideas are taught in endless "educational" endeavors that may occupy a person for decades.  The imparting of such ideas is supported and subsidized by the state.   "Evolution" is a wonderfully perfect example of a supposedly intellectual theory chaining a soul to earth.

     Once a person can be made to believe in evolution, a long, slow process of creation is thought to be possible.  That separates souls from the proximity of The Programmer.   Such supposedly "intellectual" ideas are as chains, bind many souls to programmed entities.  Each link in the chain is a clever, cunning lie.  Taken together, they have a degree of plausibility that gives credence to the validity of "Godlessness".

     Godlessness lets souls be separated from The Programmer by illicit desires.  We are made more susceptible to sin when we think that God is distant, doesn't care, or doesn't exist.

     When Catholic Fundamentalists see that "God can program particles, compile them into structures and beings, and have them move through time.", we begin to break the intellectual and emotional chains that hold our souls to earth.

                                                   More looniness for the Gullible Class.

     When Catholic Fundamentalists see an article like this, we automatically ask:  "Who benefits?"    

"U.S. to Study Protection for Alaska Loon

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -  Wed, May 30, 2007

A petition seeking Endangered Species Act protection for a rare loon that breeds in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve has been accepted for review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Conservationists hope an eventual listing of the yellow-billed loon will curb petroleum development in the 23-million acre reserve that covers much of Alaska's western North Slope.

The petition was filed three years ago by the Center for Biological Diversity, the National Resource Defense Council, Pacific Environment and other U.S. and Russian scientific and conservation organizations."

     Obviously, the benefactors are those involved in existing cash flows from existing oil wells and refineries.  People who do not care about the lives of unborn children cannot be said to actually care about the yellow-billed loon.  "Protecting" the yellow-billed loon is just another excuse to keep existing cash flows from established producers safe.

     This sort of article shows how dumb they think (know) most of us are.  Millions thought that protecting snail darters and spotted owls were valid reasons to protect other cash flows.  There is a Gullible Class who always takes this sort of article at face value.  Having cluttered their minds with thousands of similar lies, they are readily convinced that there are serious, threatening environmental issues that must be addressed, even if we all, especially those "self-centered SUV drivers" have to pay "a little more" for fuel.  

    Of those able to see the underlying lie, some will be appalled by it, and others will profit by it.  Those who willingly profit from such "complex frauds", to use Dante's description, are consigned to the depths forever.   

    Those who see through the lie, and do not hate the liars, are closer to The Programmer Who gave us all free will as to how to deal with such things.

                                                                Vainty Fair

      This shows the nighttime lights of cities and countries around the world.  Africa is still the "dark continent".  This composite is one way to judge human activity.

     The Programmer has another version that shows something far more important than candlepower.  On his version, individual souls, instead of light bulbs, glow according to their faith and obedience.  The brightest lights of His "global picture" burn in the Vatican, monasteries, convents, dioceses, parishes, and homes.  There, the souls of the most faithful send out a light that illuminates the world.

     The cities that look so bright and shining to us, from His perspective, are often the darkest.  The soul of one Mother Theresa may shine more brightly than all of Thailand. 

    We each have the opportunity to brighten our soul so that it shows up on His view of humanity.  Our eternal closeness to God depends on faith and works, our most important earthly outputs.
