It is in those communities that we can break the game. Or so I hope. That's the level I am in the game, and I'm putting all my stake right here with my local friends, family, and neighbors. The few Christians I know well are apocalyptic. I hope I didn't offend you with my views on western religions.
Hey, have you read this. I don't know who wrote it, if it was Azzarello or this Crosby dude, but it captures what I have been talking about. I just this minute came across it. It's long, but a quick skim might give you a better idea of my vision of what is going on here. We are being played, and have been being played for centuries on end. It all escalated during WWII. Some of the upper players saw great opportunity and went for total domination of the game. They formed a federation (Club of Rome, CFR, that type of thing). Everyone is playing their assigned parts, and playing the game at their level. But the whole thing depends on us doing our assigned parts. We don't have to do that. We do, because life is easier if we spend our days doing paperwork, hoping we don't get financially screwed by, chiefly, by the governmental and medical cartels, which are the same thing via public/private partnerships/federations. Oh my goodness I have had enough of this vision I am having! Gotta run and breathe somewhere, maybe hug a tree to come back to the here and now.
Cannot open that website.
But I would answer that I am well aware of such things, maybe more than you'd assume.
So I am attempting to what I consider is sensible to do. My above in the post given interpretation was to find common ground of what I call my culture.
I am regularly being offended in that sense. The art is, from my point of view, to defend what I find is and was helpful to me.
So I am glad that the two of us did find that ground.
Count me among the Christians who is not apocalyptic. There are more of us :)
