We Gonna Be Gods! REPRINT

One thing you can say for Satan: he’s never left the building.

I have stumbled over a highly-touted book, Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari, said to be on every  globalist big shot’s required reading list. It’s all about how “Our inheritors will be godlike” and achieve all sorts of neat stuff, like abolishing war and poverty and disease and getting eternal happiness, immortality, and lots of nookie (  https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/15/books/review-homo-deus-yuval-noah-harari.html ). Yeah, yeah… they always say that. Ever since the Serpent told Eve, “Ye shall be as gods.”

It’s full of really smart-sounding quotes like, “The free individual is just a fictional tale concocted by an assembly of biochemical algorithms.” Y’know, I’ve heard that before. Rutgers Biology, 1969. A lecture about how total government control of every aspect of our lives–the government advised by infallible scientists, of course–is necessary, inevitable, and totally great. Someone asked, “But what about our freedom and individuality?” Answered our classroom instructor (the lecture was on CCTV), “Those are obsolete concepts that must be engineered out of the system.” She was really good at sticking dissecting needles through the heads of live frogs, but seemed to have no other talents.

But! says Yuval. But we gotta  be careful, ’cause just when we’re really getting into being gods, Artificial Intelligence will evolve to become smarter than we are and it will exterminate us.

Some of these guys, I don’t think they actually have to work with real computers and therefor have no idea at all of how unreliable and erratic computers are. And they seem to be getting worse instead of better. And common sense seems to be in short supply, too. The idea that a lot of sinful, wishful-thinking, sophomoric, ignorant, incompetent bullshit artists can grant us eternal life and happiness–I mean, really! Find someplace where they’re selling brain cells, and buy a few.

I’m so glad so many important people read books like this. Knowing that helps me to understand why they behave like immoral and psychotic numbskulls. Even the former occupant of the White House, President *Batteries Not Included, once recommended Homo Deus on TV. As seen on TV! It just doesn’t get more authoritative than that.

Lord, anytime you’re ready…

Busy Again Today

Today’s posts may seem extra focused on animals, but here’s what happened.

I did my usual posting, but then I spotted a story about a huge animal hoarding (possibly–don’t know all the facts yet) situation in California.  Allegedly hundreds of cats and dogs were found in very poor condition on a property in California.  The woman who owns the property sounds like she might have meant well at the beginning, but was clearly overwhelmed.  And it is an overwhelming kind of situation.  There are just so many homeless, mistreated and neglected animals out there that you need a staff and lots of support people and helpers if you intend to do that kind of work. They are usually volunteers.

My friend in Florida knows a woman there who started out very small, but with perseverance now has a tax exempt corporation.  Her biggest thing is finding lost dogs.  Specializing in one aspect of animal welfare is best, also.  You at least stand a chance of being able to accomplish something.  She does work with the locale Humane Society, but usually does the dog finding on her own.  She is a wizard at it.

I would love to adopt a pet, but right now it is not a doable thing.

I pretty much covered the story, but I’m sure more information will be available as time passes.

See you tomorrow.

Pray for our troops.

God bless everybody.

Patty

Those animals are being rescued right now

Freedom! Freedom! (Well, Not Exactly) REPRINT

From February 2, 2013

Friends of ours moved to Florida a few years ago, and this winter, decided to repaint their house. They sent us a picture when it was done. It looked nice–kind of a flamingo color-scheme. What could be more Florida than that?

Imagine their surprise when the town authorities told them they had to repaint yet again, pronto, because some anonymous busybody complained about the color of their house: and also the color violated an obscure municipal ordinance by being too dark, 80% of the paint in the can must be white. The houses in this town, by law, are all required to be in pale colors, blah-blah…

You can’t have a pink house. You can’t smoke. You can’t have a 100-watt light bulb. You can’t say this, you can’t do that. Retiring from Congress, Ron Paul said he was “amazed” by how terrifically hard it is to sell Americans on freedom. They just don’t seem to want it.

Could it have anything to do with a public education system whose primary mission, whose single most important job, is to train minds to seek out and embrace conformity? Conformity at all costs, give me conformity or give me death!

And in New York City, where you can’t have a large soda if you want one, they’re building “Freedom Tower.” Hot dog!

Our ancient dogwood tree has just come into flower on this Easter morning. It always did have a fine sense of timing.

We’ve been here 40 years, but the tree was here first. Dogwoods can live up to 80 years, says Mr. Nature; but we don’t know when this tree was planted.

Even more remarkable, on the very same day, our ancient tulip has bloomed. Tulips live for 20 years, sometimes a little more. But this, too, was here when we moved in. It used to burst forth into one spectacular, bright red flower. Now it has four instead of one. We hope the squirrels don’t eat the flowers, as used to be their custom. They left it alone last year.

These (even the squirrels) are God’s handiwork. He imagined them, and then created them. They are here because He put them here. Their beauty is one of His countless gifts to us.

But even more than beauty, the dogwood and the tulip, and all the rest of God’s creation, have something important to tell us: God is nigh. Always.

 Note:  the dogwood is gone, but the tulip still blooms every year. PD
