Can You Buy Eternal Life?

It’s the free gift of God to all who believe in Jesus Christ (John 3:16), but some of the world’s richest men don’t believe it. Instead, they’re looking to buy eternal life (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/9194101/from-young-blood-transfusions-to-apocalypse-insurance-weird-ways-billionaires-are-trying-to-live-forever/).

The Star reports five of the most popular live-forever schemes. 1) Find a cure for aging. Lotsa luck with that. 2) Put a computer chip in your brain because “humans must become one with machines,” blah-blah. Prepare to merge with your toaster-oven. 3) Buy “apocalypse insurance.” Somebody needs to brush up on the Book of Revelation. 4) Get a lot of transfusions of “young blood”! Elizabeth Bathory tried that, but she died in 1614 after living in solitary confinement for five years. Today’s tech billionaires seek to improve upon her methods, which included serial murder. 5) “Digital consciousness,” meaning “upload your brain into a computer.” There’s a catch to it–your body dies.

Is this pathetic, or what? Do these people think they’re indispensable? (“I must be, or I wouldn’t have a billion dollars!”)

God help us if any of these tricks ever seems to work. Then every politician in the country will follow suit. Welcome to Year 700 of Listening to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Would you believe it? She’s still complaining!

Honoring the Dishonorable

Serial murderer Elizabeth Bathory: she’d get a medal, too, if she were alive today

In line with being proud of things we ought to be ashamed of, Harvard Looniversity has announced that it will award its Radcliffe Medal this year to Hillary Clinton–drunkard, grifter, thief, liar, rape enabler, fumbling lout in office, with the blood of Benghazi on her hands, dowager empress of the spectacularly corrupt Clinton Foundation: and these are her good points!–for her “transformative impact on society.” ( https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2018/05/21/harvard-gives-award-to-hillary-for-transformative-impact-planned-parenthood-ceo-gets-human-rights-award/) Well, yeah, okay–she did everything she could to make it worse. As comic relief, Harvard also describes this evil woman and all-around poor sport as a “champion of human rights” and a “skilled legislator.” Really, are these people quite all there?

Not to be outdone by a mere laughing stock of a university, some group called “The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights” is going to give its award to Cecile Richards, recently retired president of baby-slaughtering Planned Parenthood, for–get this–“selfless and devoted service to the cause of equality.” You wonder how they can say such things. Well, we’re all “equal” in death, aren’t we? But in life Ms. Richards made a fortune killing babies and selling off their body parts.

Too bad Countess Elizabeth Bathory isn’t still alive. I’m sure they’d give her a medal, too. She sort of did what Cecile Richards does, only it was several hundred years ago and the victims weren’t unborn babies, but mostly teenage girls.

Definitely she would get a medal, too.
