QUIS LEGET HAEC

Thursday

The only free will is a Christian will!

Thank you, Christians, for teaching me that my will has been led astray.  Thank you for showing me the errors of my ways.  To think, I once believed in free will.  Now, I realize that that kind of mentality is wrong.

I never would have known that Christ died for my sins.  Instead, I thought that he was killed for trying to corrupt other Jews (Jesus was Jewish after all) and since the Rabbi’s saw his teachings as a threat against their power, they had him legally executed.  I would have always believed that it was for absolute power instead of my sins.  Crazy me!

I never would have understood the difference between right and wrong.  To think, I was under the impression that good artistic quality work was worthy of praise.  Now I realize that it doesn’t matter how good a work is, or how good an artist is, it’s the persons beliefs that make a work good or not.

Thank you for teaching me that the only relationship worthy of holy sanction is between a man and a woman.  I never would have allowed myself to see the truth and judge “those” kind of people accordingly.  I would have continued to accept those who were different from myself, and I never would have learned to JUDGE them.  I stand corrected.

I would have never fathomed that everything created by God was corruptible.  I was taught that God created the heavens, the earth and the sea; and that everything within these regions were good, according to their nature (well this part is more science because of the circle of life), but it still stands that everything that God created was good.  I would have continued to believe that everything that God created had a purpose, although the purpose being unknown to mere mortals.

Thank you, Christians for relieving me of my free will.  It irritates me to think how much trouble that thing has been.  Being that my choices have been wrong all this time, I’m glad that there are people out there willing to relieve me of my free will and set this world back on track.


Ludwig…Need I say more?

It seems that there is nothing a state needs more than to take care of a hundred thousand fat kids.  Hearing what Heir Ludwig and his Gaelic Navigator friend want to do,they make it seem as if parents are at fault.  As if the teachers are to blame for a child's inability to progress in school.  People!  It’s a village that raises a child, not a state.

When I think about what they want to do, all I see is that scene in Schindler’s List, where the children are being trucked away from their half naked parents.  Sad imagery, to say the least, but it got me thinking.  I started thinking, “What could possibly happen if this request was taken seriously”.

Race Vs. Obesity

I went online and found some statistics by the CDC that ranks the states with high adult obesity.  In 2009, the CDC found that the states with 30% or higher BMI were:  West Virginia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas.  Being a Texan, I checked where Texas stood and was not surprised to see that Texas is on the cusp of ranking along with these other states averaging at 28% BMI.  These states seem to cluster around the United States’ southeastern area, the majority of the states being old Confederate states.  Well, that put a damper on my day, realizing that if children were going to be taken away from their families, it was going to hit southern families the hardest.

Now that we know where the people are that stand to loss the most, I wanted to know the race of people to loss the most.  I used Texas, well, because I’m Texan.  White Texans average at 20-24% BMI.  Hispanics average at 30-34% BMI.  Blacks average at and over 35%.

This is a scare tactic, plain and simple, but don’t take my warning lightly.  Alabama and Mississippi have White and Hispanic’s have the same BMI while Blacks have the highest BMI.  I didn’t want you to think I was just using the information to scare you.  I am.  I really am.  But I’m also not lying about the statistics.

I don’t know why we are getting fatter in this country.  For all I know, it’s the same thing that was happening in Rome before the fall, or any other epoch in human history.  In our comfort, we become passive and static; stationary while the struggling world fights on to survive.  But at the end of the day, if the state takes our children simply because they are over-weight, what keeps them from taking our rights away simply because they feel they can do a better job.
