The Snake's Tail

Better Angels and the Wrath of God.   The Snake Eating It’s Tail.   Or, Evil against Evil is Good.   Is Why God (Love) is a Man of War (Hell).   And (a ‘hypocrite”) who killed 2,821,364 people in the Bible.   He commanded Thou Shalt Not Kill.   Vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord.   Every human being on earth is a “terrorist organization.”  A boiling pot of resentment.  Only God is good.   Some think an eternal HELL is a wise creation of heavenly justice.  Others think God should go to hell, Himself, for being worse than the hellions themselves.   Is God both the best and the worst?

And love means hate, if, for example, someone rapes your child, or murders your wife, or tortures your family, for example.*.  If justice is unobtainable by the police, and you KNOW the perp’s identity….  Then, in that case, I would say, abduction into a private prison could be merited.  If they beat your loved ones, then justice would be vengeance in kind with cruel beating(s) of your own, and even rape, torture, and slow, painful murder might even be called for, for satisfaction.  It could be just and right and merited and a sad conclusion to a tragic situation, not a thrill-kill.  Is my attempt to understand Hell.   Hell is, after all, extra-judicial.

I’m just saying, I understand.

*On the other hand, maybe violence is NEVER justified.   No one should join the military, and militaries should not exist, and they should never go to war, and all murder is an abomination, and the cycle of violence needs to stop with you, no matter what, with understanding and forgiveness, not vengeance and retribution, to lessen the overall amount of suffering in the world, and allow Hope.  Criminals need to be locked up, but eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, and justice should be kind, and not make the justice system as guilty as the perpetrator.   In other words, impose a harsh penalty, in a sentence of time, but not in pain or cruelty.  Just confine someone to a cell, and deprive them of freedom, without killing or maiming them.   A truly enlightened justice system understands the context and motivation(s) of the criminal (act), and aims for the repentance and transformation of even the most heinous criminals.  

MY VIEW

In the heat of passions, the need for retribution may cloud anyone’s judgement, and make it less than objective, fair, and impartial.  God is emotional, and feels wrongs against him deeply, and has a thirst for justice, a need for things to be made right.  But he is also cold, detached, unemotional, dispassionate, objective, and capable of impartial fairness and justice.  So Hell is just a threat, a disincentive.   The reality is everybody, no matter what their life story or history, good or bad, dies and disappears, dust to dust.  That is the ultimate fate of all criminals.  I personally believe in pacifism and the idealism of maybe someday there not being a need for militaries or police or weapons, but this is obviously unrealistic, and I simply espouse Buddhism for virtues like kindness, and Islam for a beneficent, merciful God, and Christianity for love and turning the other cheek, and Hinduism for recognizing that it is valid to worship different forces, such as Creation, Preservation, or Destruction.  In other words, it’s all good, and atheism is a path to God, and eventually people see the Truth of the wisdom of reducing suffering and increasing contentment.  The goals of the good life are bliss, service, peace, prosperity, health, love, fun.   A virtuous person seeks to end the suffering of ALL beings, not just themselves.  I think the best people are funny, and make others happy.   Was the Buddha a comedian?

Gene Machines

HUMAN NATURE

If a human has done it, it’s a part of human nature!   We’re protean, and can basically become almost anything.  Anybody.  The full range, the full spectrum, is possible.   The best person in history and the worst could have been the same person.  Math can kind of calculate our behavior.    Sociobiology and evolutionary genetics can predict likelihoods of stuff (I vaguely remember from college anthropology).  We’re gene machines.  

Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Theology.. different perspectives on being human.   We’re descended from hominids in Africa, and have invented both libraries and nuclear bombs.     Our experience ranges from true love to flame-throwers.  There are lovely cities like St. Helena and hellscapes like plastic-covered beaches.   War, from us and them divisions and aggravations, and peace, from friendship and philosophy (like religions or comity of nations), are entirely the choice of the leaders of society.  In democracies, everyone has a say.  Everyone that votes, anyway.  Human Nature can get really ugly.  We’re mean to each other all the time.

Resentments and malice and hatred and aggression can quickly spiral into (sometimes large scale) conflict.  Everyone needs to fight for peace.   Ha.

The Satanists vs.  The Buddhists

The sick savage slaughter by satanists against a pacifist kind compassionate equanimous society of buddhist bhikkus is actually possible.  A bunch of self-immolating monks would make the devil cackle with delight.  It’s a mad mad world. 

Humankind should be both, but is often neither.  We’re carnivores, and responsible for death and suffering on a vast scale.  We’re animals, but think we can waste the earth because we’re destined for Heaven.  We’re lovers, but we are twisted into hate by the media.  We want happiness, but think we have to be slaves to the money til we die, for it.  We want sex and intimacy and love, but end up with prostitution and sexual slavery and rape and disease. 

What God Says About Good and Bad

Morality and Ethics (and me!)

Virtue and Depravity, Right and Wrong, Good and Evil

Morality:  conformity to ideals of right human conduct (virtue, character, decency, goodness, honesty, integrity, probity, rectitude, righteousness, (up)rightness, virtuous(ness)

Ethics: principles of conduct governing a group (or Individual)

Guiding philosophy, (theory, system, set), good and bad, duty and obligation

For me, virtue is letting everybody be who they want (freedom, but without impinging on the rights of others).  Maybe “rights” don’t exist objectively, but it’s a convenient way of saying what Jefferson did, “you have the freedom to swing your fist, but that freedom ends at the tip of my nose.”   Or, in other words, other people exist, and we all want the same things (basically).   The golden rule(s), do unto others as you would have them do to you, as well as, don’t do unto others what you don’t want them do to you.   There’s the caveat, of course, that people have different tastes and want different things.  But being suicidal doesn’t give you the right to go on a killing spree.  And loving everyone shouldn’t make you feel entitled to universal respect in return.  The law limits freedom, but in a way that allows everyone to exercise his or her limited freedoms to the greatest extent possible.   If you want to kill, join the military.  If you want to beat people up, get in a ring.  If you want to rape, get into bdsm and find a woman that wants to be dominated.  If you want to be depraved for the sake of worshipping satan or something, be willing to serve time, and be raped in prison, and/or beat up, and maybe die.  Hell, basically.   And if you want to torture, the CIA and military and, of course, people who are into sadism, could all be your bag.   There’s a way to meet the need for every kink, and all dark impulses can be satisfied legally, if only in video games. 

What is good?  The good life.   Not suffering, and bliss.   The absence of dissatisfaction and the positive presence of pleasure.  Money, love, leisure, and things like good food, vacation, good books and movies and music, looking good and feeling good (e.g. endorphins, oxytocin), and being in a good frame of mind (peace, safety, good weather, meditation, yoga, etc.).  

A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.   On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to god and my country to obey the scout law to keep myself physically strong mentally awake and morally straight.   Be prepared.   Do a good turn daily.  Be a man for others.  Love thy neighbor.  Love all serve all.  

Honesty?  Only God is good.  God is a man of war.  War is the art of deception.  Sometimes lies are necessary.   They’re a good way to get at the truth.  And it’s not illegal to tell lies (except under oath), despite what your mother may have told you.  Maybe you decided in your youth, on a policy of truth.  I don’t think presidents should do nothing but spew lies all day at the American people.  But I do think cops should use any methods at their disposal to legally get to the truth about crime and culprits.  And during war, the enemy should be confused and deceived. 

Depravity and evil (and DAE!), raw about right and wrong, GE we bring good things to life, Depraved virtue and Darth vader and VD (Venereal disease)…

Depravity is sin at the extreme evil end of the spectrum.  Wickedness at another level.   Things like abduction, and false imprisonment, and savage beatings, and enslavement, and violent rape, and torture, and thrill-killing murders, and cannibalism.  Cruelty of any kind is deeply immoral, in my book.  I’m a hypocrite, but I believe meat is murder.  The enjoyment I get from eating meat outweighs any moral qualms I might have about animal suffering.  But I’m not about to start eating babies.   Starting wars is depraved and mass murder or serial-killing is not acceptable, by any means.  We’ve all wanted to.  At least, I’ve been there.  But live and let live.   We all have to live with each other. 

God Religion and Spirituality

GOD

    God created man.   But first, man created God.  Although God is love, so love created the man that created God.  And maybe the Universe was created by a space alien.   So THAT deity has everybody beaten, chronologically.  I’ve heard a philosopher posit that God is outside of time.  God is a man of war?  God is Jesus, prince of peace?  God gave the ten commandments, enjoining his people (everyone?) to not kill.   But vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord.  If God isn’t confused, He sure is confusing.   He doesn’t make mistakes, and is the source of all goodness, and is beneficent, merciful.  Yet he created hell.  He understands everyone, is omniscient, and kind and compassionate and loving and good.   But he sacrificed his own son to be nailed to a cross, in agony and torture.  God is singular and plural, male and female, and immanent and transcendent.  God is infinite, and yet you can be separated from Him.  God is eternal, yet Nietzsche said God is dead.  I happen to believe everyone is their own God.  Religion is an exercise in hypnosis.  I like the Native American stories.   I even appreciate the absurd Scientology UFO saga.  God is a Father figure, imagined as a refuge and resource, a protector and an answerer to prayers.   God is also a flying spaghetti monster.  I kind of like the adage, Reality is all the God there ever is.  God is good and great and perfect and never makes mistakes and a man of war and always and everywhere and omniscient and omnipotent and a concept, role, identity, and status.   God is the source of all things good, and dog backwards, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  God is invincible and invisible.  God is insanely sane and hears and answers prayer and is One.  God is the big kahuna.  God is getting old and dying, and gone over dead, and grave oblivion death.   God is also good orderly direction and a group of disciples and good old days and gratification of desires.  Vonnegut said we become what we pretend to be.  God is the Santa for adults, and the Source of All Moral Authority.  God is like a video game level in the game of life.  God is the Great OutDoors.   God makes wind, lol.

RELIGION

    A religion is just another type of gang.  Like a school/sports team or nation or corporation or knitting club.  It’s a philosophical affiliation, and usually what you were brought up in, part of your cultural identity.   You can “ligion” and re-ligion.   Ha.

SPIRITUALITY

    Spirituality is all about penetration.  Spirits like ghosts, mind, the immaterial world.   Physics tells us that not everything is matter.  Like light, or radio waves, or anything else on the electromagnetic spectrum, like X-rays or microwaves.  Energy, basically.  Matter is energy and energy is matter.  They can change form.  Anyway, you can drink spirits and spear it.   Spirituality is kind of sexy.  The holy spirit even includes hole.  And you can spear your food with a fork and chew.  That’s the third thing I think of re: ‘spirituality’. 

5 Reasons to Quit Cigs

 Smoking

1.  LUNG CANCER (It's REALLY REALLY BAD...),  plus pregnancy-harm, heart-disease, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), oral cancer, cataracts, pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema, leukemia...

2.  Your breath, and the smell

3. Addiction and cost (it adds up) (Nicotine is as addictive as heroin, for most*) (also, increased susceptibility to addiction to other substances) (a nicotine addiction costs an estimated $4628 over 5 years and $23,142 over 25 years)

4. Butts and litter and ugliness

5. Second-hand smoke harms those around you.  And a baby inside you.

*"Nicotine is as addictive as "hard" drugs such as heroin.  Smokers usually start the habit as children, are addicted to nicotine by the time they are adults, and thereafter the choice to stop becomes an illusion.  Thus, although 2/3 of smokers want to quit, and about a third try each year, only 2% succeed."  (those few with a small cluster of genes on chromosome 15 have less or no addiction)

Kitchen Syncretism

SYNCRETIZE EVERYTHING!!

Making All Religions Your Own and Omitting the Bits You Reject

My Intellectual Journey:  Ideas from God’s Blog

Immerse in All the World Religions!  Alphabetically: Allah Buddha Christ Democracy Fascism Hinduism Irreligion Jainism Love Mu-ism Nature Pastafarianism Shintoism Taoism Voodoo Yahweh.  Plus weird ones, like Adidam or Zoroastrianism (crazy, from A to Z!).  Snakes hiss about Sss, scientology, satanism, sikhism, and, of course, sex.   Actually, snakes hiss about everything.  I mean, they can’t talk, lol. 

Immersion? Swim in the lake of spirit?  It’s fun! It’s philosophy!  It’s what any self-respecting deity should do.  And you are the God of your own You-niverse! Or you SHOULD be the God of someone’s!  You’re the God of your own skull-sized kingdom.  You get to choose what to do, who to be with, what to think about.  If someone loves you, and you love them, that makes you each a kind of deity, in my book.  You worship each other.

How does One immerse in religion and philosophy?  Read everything.   Watch everything.  Listen to everything.   Think.  Meditate. Process.  Then write, write, write.   Or join one religion after another.   You can be an academic anthropologist or just dive in, with all your heart.   Reality is all the God there ever is.   So pick a facet, and commit.  Mind, body, heart, soul.

Religions, first.  Philosophies, second.  Trivia, third.  Spoiler alert: Everything is trivial (for me), but that doesn’t make anything less important!   Or maybe, just read every damn day, whatever you want, whatever you feel like, in any or no order.  Stay stimulated, stay challenged.  Mix it up.  Your brain can hold it all!   And odd connections can be made when you combine different authors and subjects.  I’m pretty sure people like Ken Jennings don’t think trivia is trivial.

Basically, just engage with Reality 100%.  Give it all you’ve got.  Get an A in life.  As the Cowboy Junkies sing, do you ever finally reach a point of knowing? (or do you just wake up one day, and say, I'm going?).  Eventually, meaning will coalesce into a unified whole, in which it all (FINALLY) makes sense.  Just don’t give up.  Life is good. You make your own meaning.  Only God is good.  Be good. Be God. 

I mean, everything good must come to an end.   Everyone dies, life is impermanent, the universal fate is oblivion, and god is a bastard.  I want more life, fucker.  Jesus and Hitler both get the same reward.   Life is a shit-show.    Some have a love of killing, if it’s personal justice, unobtainable by the police.  It can be deeply, personally satisfying, and justified, right.  Some people take everything personally.  Some people are born with the brain chemistry of depravity.  Some people just get off on evil.  Life is a shit-show of death, anger, evil, stupidity, suffering, and sorrow.  But don’t disrespect bastards.   I’m a bastard, actually.   A bastard is a child of unwed parents.   A bitch is a female dog.   Shit is excrement.  I feel it is important to remember some basic linguistic facts, these days.  All you bitch-ass bastards, and shit.

God, the source of all goodness, is said to have killed 2,821,364 (in the bible, alone)(and not including the flood).  He commanded, Thou Shalt Not Kill.  Do as I say, not as I do.   Seems hypocritical, but can be interpreted as the righteous action of a loving and wrathful god.  God is a man of war.  God is love.  And God “never makes mistakes.”   Everyone dies, anyway.   God, too, I bet.  Old Gods die, and new ones take their places.  Oingo Boingo sings No One Live Forever.   I saw a bumper sticker that said ELF (Everyone Lives Forever).  My point on that is that you can’t have consciousness with a brain that’s been eaten by worms.  Anyway, God is a serial killer, and a mass murderer, and not to be trifled with.   Let go, and let God.   God the Father Time kills by Old Age, senescence.   Vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord.   God, the beneficent, the merciful.  Green pastures, eternal hellfire.  Is God schizo? Only God is good, and sanity may be better than madness, but God created All, and he is a man of war, crazy in love, you might say.  If God does it, it's all good.  The question is, does God do everything?  I don't think so.  Unless God is simply Reality.   But suffering, evil, cruelty, sin, injustice are a part of Reality, unfortunately.  God is good, freedom is good, so he lets his creation choose evil, to learn from their mistakes, and gain wisdom, grow in Godliness, become virtuous, and live happily ever after.  Punishment is part of the process.  

Maybe this is true: There is no God, Reality, Self, Right and Wrong, Meaning.  Everything disappears into Oblivion.  Nothing matters.   Maybe humanity is destined for extinction.  Maybe we live in a simulation.  Maybe everyone is in their own private universe.  Maybe everyone is a piece of shit, deep-down.  And maybe you’re supposed to be mean to give your life meaning.   The Dalai Lama says kindness is my religion.  Cruel to be kind (in the right measure), sings Nick Lowe.  Then again, Reality is all the God there ever is, and God is love, and so The Universe is made of Affection!  I was told yoga is the path to God.  And the road to hell is paved with good intentions.   The Hard Rock Cafe slogan is “love all serve all” but that doesn’t mean to be a bisexual slut.  I mean, right?  How many Gods have humans created throughout history, you ask?  At least 18,000.  My belief is humans are just animals, and we're no better (and even possibly a lot worse) than flies or pangolins or iguanas or hippos or manatees or bats or parakeets or monkeys or wolves or krill or whales or amoebas or whatever.  

Buddhist meditation and instruction is said to enlighten truth-seekers with the realization that there is no thing called the Self.  We have bodies, that are constantly changing, is all.  But there is no soul, eternal or otherwise.  And the idea of a fixed personality… Nirvana sings all in all is all we are… I think we all have the potential to be anything, i.e. like anyone else.  This is the blank slate theory of identity.  BF Skinner said, give me a child and I’ll shape him into anything.  I’m pretty sure we don’t have hive minds with the entire globe in our heads (!!).  But maybe the rare individual does.  Is that even a thing?  A “global-telepath” that could receive or broadcast (or both, a feedback loop) the earth’s human psychesphere…  Some seriously weird alternative psychology.   These days, I think computers or the pentagon or lawyers or the catholic church or some combination of all the above are in our heads and doing mind control, with voices and images and even ideas or attention and awareness.   You might think I’m crazy.   It’s kept me from going insane.  Makes sense to “me.”

Mind

I don’t mind, never mind, mine, my mind is mined, mein’d

Mind and consciousness, the ongoing stream of ideation or perception, of dreams and awareness, of words and images and sounds, from birth to death, punctuated by sleep or things like feinting or a coma.  Reading and movies and music, writing and meditating, eating and drinking, talking and observing, listening and interacting.   Retarded people don’t mind, but philosophers do!  Detonations inside my skull?  Brian’s brain has a mined mind, but the minesweeper has swept the cobwebs.  It’s life during wartime, and the grey matter in my head doesn’t seem to matter all that much.  Pop! Pop!  Those bastards! Resentment.  It’s the zeitgeist to not be angry these days, to be happy and in love and accept everyone for who they are.  Of course, you can be as angry as you want to be.   Or as you need to be.  Resentment is all the rage.  Manufactured to control people.  Roy Masters said resentment is hypnotic.  The whole thing seems like mind control and red pill, blue pill nonsense.  ‘Harold and the purple crayon’ gives a child agency over his or her own world.  I had the terrible experience as a child of having the same fact conveyed through a prayer posted in the Catholic Church vestibule that  was said to “never fail.”  That scared me.   A demon could use the prayer as much as any innocent.  The point is, prayers get answered, and you can make your dreams come true yourself, and your mind is your universe, and love is the strongest force in existence, and I the author love you the reader, just for spending time with me, even though maybe it’s not really even “me” at all!

You Got to Go Through Hell before You Get to Heaven

Hello and Hi, A quick overview

HELL

Gehenna and Sheol and Hel and stuff

Lake of fire, place of the dead, eternal torment*

Abode of hellions, the damned, sinners, the evil and wicked

Separated from God

"If you're going through hell, keep going"

       War, and My Lai.   Torment and torture.  Pain and suffering.  Cruelty brutality and savagery.  Drudgery and grudge.  Tedium, boredom, and meaninglessness.  Misery and depression.  Sorrow and sadness.  Hopelessness and despair.  Anguish and grief.  Insult and injury.  Futility and frustration.  Stress, anxiety, and worry.  Danger and threat.  Fear and terror and horror. Ceasing causes and conditions of happiness or positive experiences.  Dukkha, dissatisfaction, discontent, disappointment, distress, discomfort, disgust, difficulty, death, destruction, disease, diabolical depravity, unpleasant, unsatisfactoriness, unease, unhappiness.  Attachment, Aversion, Ignorance.  Change and impermanence, and greed, lust, craving, clinging, coveting, wanting, desire.  Anger, hatred, rage, wrath, fury, ire, spite, malice.  War, aggression, revenge, violence, crime, vice, sin, depravity, turpitude.  Devils, demons, monsters, hellions, and satan, mephistopheles, antichrist, Lucifer, beelzebub, and The Devil.  Wailing and gnashing of teeth.   Fire and brimstone.  Ignorance, delusion, confusion, stupidity, and incuriosity.  A state or condition, in a place or location.  Possessed, enslaved, oppressed, and punished.  Adding negatives, and subtracting positives.  Some say it has circles.   Underground, or in lava, or in the center of the earth.   Some say the world will end in fire, others, in ice.  That’s all.  The End.   "Muahaha" (says the sick, sad, stupid, sinful Satan-snake and the damned devil demon-dog).

*Just a terrorist threat, and a disincentive to evil or sin (ancient form of control)

HEAVEN

Happiness, basically.   That’s all.

But I’ve gone off on superpowers, and having a much longer lifespan (consciousness in a computer?), living in a hyperrealistic virtual world in which you can do anything you want to, everybody in their own customized, alterable, personal Reality.  No suffering.  You can be on heroin all the time or something.  You can have any body you want.  Etc. etc.

     My list of categories and things that cause happiness: Achievement, reward, money, fame, sex, intimacy, leisure, pleasure, enlightenment, drugs, endorphins, being appreciated, service, meaning, hobby, family, love, growth, goals and success, contentment, for no reason, equanimity (everything flows off you like water off a duck's back), bliss, met needs, delicious food, security, safety, health, hope, learning, travel, variety and new experiences, challenges, excitement and thrill and danger, movies, tv, video, music, sports, dance, museums, Nature, games, comedy, play, meditation, rest, dreams, exercise, yoga, stretching, sleep, sensations*, and yes, some people sometimes actually get off on evil.  

*visions, voices, smells, tastes, sounds, massage

Keli says, mark my words, Heaven is going to hell

Orgasm is going to painful childbirth

   avoiding "hellfire" (passion to parturition)

   sex as sin, evil, crime, savagery (can be, sometimes, or in a way)

(causing disease or anxiety)(baby rape)(statutory rape)(vile violence)

(anxiety of unwanted child, pain, disapproval, hellfire, consequences)

The heavens (space, the universe) will go to Heat Death (absolute zero)

The pursuit of "heaven" (luxury) is going to be a painful sacrifice

Everything good must come to an end

Everyone dies, life is impermanent, the universal fate is oblivion, and god is a bastard.   I want more life, fucker.  Jesus and Hitler both get the same reward.  Life is a shit-show.  

Klove says God never makes mistakes.   Never has, and never will.   So, if Reality is all the God there ever is.  And God is love.   The Universe is Love.  And it's all good.   Not right is all right.  God loves Hitler as much as Jesus.  Only God is good.   Is Heaven in the heavens?  Yes!   We're already there.   War may be hell, but God is a man of war, and Jesus is the prince of peace. War is the art of deception, so who knows who's on what side, or if they're on the same side or not.   Is humanity basically just the equivalent of a swarm of flies, some die, some live, some reproduce, and that's it?     

     I have a question.  If hell is a punishment for sin, and heaven a reward for virtue, and the Ten Commandments are god's law, why are they so silly?   Manslaughter has laughter in it.  Innocent blood is a weird way of putting it.  Thy, shalt, graven...(what?).  Does a grave have to be serious?  Can't you laugh at death?  the Bible says it's all nonsense, if you buy that bull.  Maybe life DOES make sense.  Or death does.  They certainly make scents.  If we didn't die, we wouldn't be having sex.  I don't think immortality will ever happen.  Everything is impermanent.   Humanity, even (extinction).  Absurd, like Monty Python, or Camus.  Just laugh, or be serious.  No other gods before me (In time, standing in front of!).   Taking a name in vain!  (I have Jesus' name, kind of - was given, didn't take, though) (taking H in vein, it sounds like, too) (in marriage, the woman usually takes the husband's surname).  Remember the sabbath day (go to hell for forgetting?  Yikes!  What if you use a calendar?).  Observe a day (watch it go by).   Is the adulterer only the married person?  Bear false witness (witness false bears makes more sense).   Well, anyway.    It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to.

DOJ

Department of Justice, David of Jesse, Devil of Jesus

Searching far and wide for something fair and wide, lol

A FAT PAL (faithful and true) (perfect and loving)

Suspicion and distrust is SAD; seeing someone else is not seeing someone else!

KLOVE and the LOVE (mine) of, for Keli :-) (and by her)

    Both channeling the love of God (Buddhism says nobody HAS a Self).   Empathy for all, even the psychopaths, and telepaths, and no-paths (lost).  All Creation is God's.  OGIG.

    Make good, ascertain truth, create virtue

    Also, KLOVEthe love of killing.  If personal justice, unobtainable by police.  

       Deeply, personally satisfying, and justified, right.

       Maybe you take everything personally.

Agents of Justice, righteous, vengeance and malice, dish served cold

Justice in the hands of police office malice.  Just ice.

Vampire, vengeance and malice, hot!  (different temperature, not less moral)

hot sex and hot flashes and hot passion and what a field day for the heat.

Passion, like Jesus on a cross, probably VERY cross.  Hot anger.

Christian Agents Of Justice.   Only God Is Good.

Hell as justice.  Hot feelings, passion, hatred against sin, crime, evil, wickedness.

Justice, revenge, for injustice.

Karma, like for like, and setting example, for prevention, and fairness and forgiveness, for maybe criminals, victims, we kind of like or understand or have compassion for, so sentenced to “serving time” (not painful, but the absence of the opportunity for money and family life).. 

In other words, proportional, excessive, or minimal, merciful justice.

Specifically…For example (ample eggs)

BART, beat up violently, abuse, rape, and torture

KMART, kill, murder, assassinate, rape, torture

CVS, crime, vice, sin

KCHF, kill cook human flesh, 

    KCEM, kill cook eat meat (something else!)

    hot dogs are/remind of, "severed boys' penises"

CIA, confusion, ignorance, anger;   change, impermanence, acceptance.

    deception, resentment, and malice

    (a dram is a large jigger, or 2 thimbles)

Christ!  criced! kreist?  G's us! "Your name" is the greatest!  Mine?

compassion for, gratitude to, respect awe and confusion before, and faith in.

gospel, god's spell, (poorly spelled, lol)

kingdom of a dumb king 

    (chess is war, war is deception, so maybe omniscient)

still alive?  didn't lie?  likes us?

hears and answers prayer?  

Or is it a law of the universe that Reality re-arranges to answer (anybody's) prayers and give us what we want?  Prayer is GOOD.

Lord, keep me sane (lithium, olanzapine, risperdal, depakote?); j/k (Jesse, Kelli!). Demon on no meds, and authenticity in the city, abnormal psych of american psycho, crazy town, insane on the train, madmen, MCI (mad crazy insane), crazy in love, drive me crazy, and loco motives, to swim in the Seine... crazy from A to Z like Jay-Z and lazy Daisy.

LORD:  life or death, light or dark, left or departed, left or died, love or devil, lady or dude

OUR GOD, omg, universe, reality, g's us, orgasm, dick;   Father, Creator, Love, Sex, Heaven, Intimacy, Pleasure, Bliss, Joy, Happiness, Ecstasy, Rapture.   Oxytocin and "addicted to dick."

My Godfather's name was Dick Zonca and 

I knew a Bishop (friend of family) named Cummings,

and God is Love

plus, the numerology of 'my cock' (lol)

Is the truth Nihilist and Diabolical?  There's NO GOD, NO REALITY, NO SELF, NO RIGHT AND WRONG, EVERYTHING DISAPPEARS INTO OBLIVION, so NOTHING MATTERS??

Do what makes you happy, everybody says.

So, doing whatever you want is forgivable, especially if you're a solipsist who actually believes and thinks nobody else but you exists.  Imperially alone.  Like Reality is a simulation.  A sociopathic solipsist is dangerous, though, and needs be isolated.  That's how I conceive of (the fictional) Hannibal the Cannibal.

raped by an ape, fuct by a duck, vexed by sex with your ex

an animal a cannibal?  the beast devouring our power

prince of darkness in the place of death

sled-dog, demon-dog in Sheol, lake, eternal damnation

saw blade, and stress anxiety worry re: edged-weapon, wept

devils, demons, dragons, and dark, diabolical, depravity

Angst and Wretchedness root beer

Craving Ignorance Aversion

PEOPLE in hell, Possessed Enslaved Oppressed Punished Lucifer's Evil

lord, love or devil (both), savage superpower

No-self and AIAIAWA (all in all is all we are)

Life is a shit-show of death, anger, evil, stupidity, suffering, and sorrow

   or, as the Bible says (x), frustration, futility, absurdity, nonsense

OH WELL

It doesn't have to be! 

Falling in love, and being in love-bliss, marrying the love of your life...

versus 

hell, a place of shame, darkness, a garbage dump, ritually defiled, full of worms and flies, cursing, and fire that never goes out.

My goal: heaven, rapture, ecstasy, orgasm, reward, justice, and plain old contentment, satisfaction, happiness, joy, fun, play, comfort, safety, and love.   House and pets.   Wealth.  Happy with having enough, not greed.   Kindness and compassion, not cruelty and malice.   Even the worst criminals have reasons for their behavior, and deserve compassion, imo.  But the strongest preventative action needs be taken, so the threat of hell is important, but appeals to better angels hold more weight, to virtue and heavenly reward, I think.   Carrots and sticks, eternal reward or punishment, incentives and disincentives.   But the truth is we all die, Jesus or Hitler.   Eternal torment would make God worse than the worst criminal.  Forever is a mighty long time.  Some people think God deserves hell, Himself.   Hell is suffering and God created neurons and the inclination to evil, and some people with the brain chemistry of depravity.   God being Reality and Time and Evolution (the "creator"), selecting for rape and aggression and war and cruelty and hate, etc.   I'm trying to be a Good God.   Replace this bad Reality.   Convey clarity, and wisdom, for overcoming suffering, and achieving peace and happiness.   So don't punish ME!

Been to hell and back?   aw, hell.  this place is going to hell (pot).  going to hell in a bucket - at least I'm enjoying the ride.   On the highway to hell.   Hell's bells.  You can go to hell!   Been there, done that.  Hell, he will, he'll, heal.  HL EL, hannibal lecter god, holy land lord, heavenly love ellen, heather locklear and he...  Depraved devils, demons, and the damned dwell in dank dark dungeons of diabolical despair.  I'm done with commercials, a complete waste of my time.  I'm sick of cars, trucks, loud motorcycles...  I hate concrete and freeways and parking lots... Vehicles are dangerous and polluting and expensive and the commercials won't ever stop and I'm tired of the makes and models and letters and numbers and all the stupid symbolism and colors that make me feel like I'm in a giant machine and the headlights at night and the theft or rudeness or worse.   My rant.  Okay, maybe I want one, lol.

And, of course, Hell is a village in Norway.   Just like Paradise is a place in California.  You can go to Hell!   You can go to Paradise!
