Utopia?

There have always been humans who seek to impose their 

vision of how a society should be by exercising control 

over the behavior of others.  This has been done primarily 

through religion and politics, often a combination of both to some 
degree.  Most religions proffer a system of rewards for 

good behavior, and punishment for evil behavior. 

In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the promise of heaven 

and the threat of hell.  As people move away from this belief, 
the reward and punishment system doesn't necessarily disappear. 

It's replaced by something else.  I am currently thinking of 

the debate over climate change and the promises and threats 

claimed by climate change advocates.  The sins of not 

obeying God's commandments in matters of faith and personal 

morality have been replaced by sins against the environment. 

The threat is global catastrophe, the promise is a green utopia. 

If God does exist, as I believe He does, I am confident He can 

deliver on his promises of heaven.  Of course, I won't know that 

for certain until this life is over.  What I do know for certain 
is that man will never be able to deliver on his promise of utopia. 

The First Temptation

When the serpent tempted Eve in the garden, it was with promise "You can be like God." Now, with easy birth control and legal abortion, women are told "You can be like men." Seems like all kinds of evil come from us trying NOT to be who God designed us to be.

An Observation

A liberal's "liberality" is largely limited to licentious living.

My rant for today:

L-I-E-S, L-I-A-R-S: So essential to LIBERALISM, it can't even be spelled without those letters.

Liberalism is...

a judgmental illness brought on by a socialist disease!

"It's historic!"

They say this Obama "Health Care" deal is historic. So is dinosaur crap, and I don't want to swallow that, either!

Random thoughts

I didn't come up with these, but I agree with these sayings wholeheartedly and want to publish them on my blog.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences on politics you'll ever read.

They should be in every book in every school room in every city in every state in our great Union .

Our educators should make a lesson plan on these statements and instill these words in the minds of all students.

1 You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.


2 What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.


3 The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.


4 When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.


5 You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it...
