The Mµne-Pi Morality Manifesto - Page 3

     Based on the latest these days, these are the last days; this is it.  History as a
forecaster would imply that society as we know it is on a tragic downturn.  As a nation,
we've grown from our precocious infancy - filled with its foibles - to our current
rebellious adolescence.  Some are making moves to ban religious [there goes that
word again] expression when it is expressly Christian in nature.  Otherwise, it falls
under the protective cover of "culture diversity".


When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Isn't it romantic, romancing the stoned?

Romans 7:23

     We're in a war. ...the army of good embroiled in a figurative (and ultimately literal
bloody) conflict against the forces of evil.  The theater of battle is in the mind. [Some
may contrive between-space meanings in such talk, but what I write reads like an open
and forthcoming nutritional guide free of nebulous content.]

     Perception is reality.  That which one deems real is one's reality.  If one sees
modesty as a virtue, lasciviousness is shameful.  If the former reflects a former primitive
time of overbearing prudence inflicted upon and against the inherent freedoms of
highly evolved food chain toppers to take in topless presentations and satiate
salacious urges, then morality is seen as intrusive by its very existence.  The desired
effect of situational ethics is that everyone be allowed to crash and burn without the
burden of any warning element. ...to frolic in the pink mists of the minefield.


"I wish there was no Black or White; I wish there was no God." - Prince

      Celebrated recording artists such as Prince and John Lennon (in "Imagine") have
made a practice of lumping in "religion" along with war, racism, and the whole of select
world's ills.  Though I am not much for that which is colloquially deemed
"religious" [see Christian categories section], I feel that blaming the wrongs of some on
the entire expanse of a group is a sympathetic psycho-mechanical parallel to all
bigotry and tenants of prejudice.  When an NFL quarterback is revealed in the news as
being involved in something as cruel and despicable as dog-fighting, few would
suggest him to represent the whole of all pro quarterbacks - or semi-pro and amateur,
for that matter.

     A politician is caught in the wrong; murmurings buzz until they bite.  After the yeast
makes the dough rise, it becomes known nabob conversational currency that they all
steal, fornicate, are homosexual whoremongers who're all on the special interest dole. 
After the incidence of perverse darkness associated with the Roman Catholic
priesthood came to light, every man-of-the-cloth became fair game for comedians and
sketch shows.  Likewise the gospel has been skewed in the public eye by the images
of disgraced religious leaders, a history of so-called Christians [see Christian
categories 1 & 2] who aren't in anyway at all Christ-like.

     The more Hedonistic secular society becomes, all the more often Christian (truly
Christ-like) traits like fundamentalism, Bible literalist (a.k.a. Bible
thumperismicatationinenolism), and evangelical are disdained.  In accordance, Jesus
- by sticking by His word (that which was with God in the beginning, and was Him) and
sharing Himself openly with all who would be saved by His sacrifice - is a great
offender.  And His disciples are moreover offensive for following in His way.

     If a picture proverbially says a thousand words, a picture purposefully placed out of
context will tell many lies - a very dangerous proposition if seeing is believing.

     There are polls that indicate that there're many who rely of satirical "fake" news
shows as their windows on the world.
