Fuck Labels

Political labels are a box. Why do people put themselves in a box? Does it make them feel safe? Is it so they can generalize and pretend they have it all figured out.

Do you believe what you believed 10 years ago? 5 years ago?

Has your beliefs not grown and changed? Was new evidence not introduced that changed what you believe enough for you to put yourself under a different political label?

Oh, everyone else is labeling themselves too... must conform or label myself a nonconformist.

Labels bind you. You're telling people what you believe and it creates a fixed self-image that you're socially pressured to maintain - Willfully enhancing your cognitive bias by tying it to your own self worth.

2012: The End of Western Civilization

There is no shortage of apocalyptic prophecies for 2012, but my favorite isn't what most people would consider when toying with the word apocalypse. There are those that see the end of the Mayan calendar as the beginning of something new - the end of a galactic night, a time when our level of consciousness will increase much the way wakefulness creeps over us after a long sleep.

It occurred to me today, that with one tiny change in our ability to perceive, Western Civilization as we know it would fall down around us like a house of cards. If a tiny change in our perception gave us all the ability to tell a lie from truth, in person and on television, and less likely via written word, nothing would ever be the same.

True Christians Support Gay Marriage

"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" 
- Dan Cathy, the president and COO of Chick-fil-A

Okay. So then, what is God's judgment?

God's Judgment

Revelation 20:11-12 -King James Version (KJV)

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Matthew 25:31-34

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

I mean, true Christians WANT Jesus to return, right?
Judgment Day, Inheriting the Kingdom.... those are things true Christians look forward to, right?

So why would true Christians stand in the way of things that invite God's Judgment?

As for me, I say:

Bring it Yahweh
I'm tired of seeing all the suffering. 
Step forward and judge me, oh Lord. 


If you're real, that is...
