Contemplations on the Peckin' Order
The thoughts below on the topic of religion, politics, and philosophy aren't necessarily authoritative, or accurate.
- Governments control men because men identify as PERSONS.
- PERSONS are the property of the State.
- Government covets God’s position in the peckin' order.
- Getting men to identify with PERSONS is not good enough.
- The Government wants to become God.
- There can be only one world order.
- When it happens, it will be new.
- Not even Rome could pull it off.
- In comes world Godvernment.
In ancient time’s tribes of people worshiped various idols, gods, or God. We have a similar situation today with Statism. The State has become the idol or the God, and the nations are like the tribes of old.
PERSONS are berthed into certain geographic areas and because of this accident of birth people have become indoctrinated or subjugated to their respective States and Nation-States, both of which are (false) idols.
There's a contrived form of tithing. It takes the form of a payroll tax, which is how they’ve convinced men to worship Godvernment unwittingly.
Some might say, but what of Jesus, and his message about paying to Caesar what is Caesars? Jesus' message was a tri-fold one, intended for the Scribes, the other for the Pharisees, and one for the common folk.
Hey Zeus looked at the coin, paused and studied the inscription for a moment, he saw Caesar Söze’s image! Jesus was Clever enough to know if a man puts his brand on something (cattle, coins, etc.), then that something belongs to him.
"Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the PERSON of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall we not?" – Bible Video Clip
That said, if you find a pair of underwear, even if it looks like yours and you think it might fit, if it has someone else’s name on it you should give it back to the owner, promptly! That was Jesus’ message to the Scribes.
He was speaking in such a way where he had his legal ducks in a row.
His message to the morality police (Pharisees) was that he was adhering to tradition. They likely wanted to lay the smackdown on him for some silly technicality like casually picking grain on a Sunday or something.
His answer impressed both parties because it was honest, clever, and occulted. I say his answer was in part occulted because it also served to inform the common people what they needed to know without revealing to them the reasoning behind his instructions.
His answer was very controversial, yet static free! I almost included a link to a video with the phrase "don't let static stop you." It appears to be mysteriously absent from this verse. Should you find it, I will be grateful.
So yeah, I think the one world religion might, in fact, be the one world government. I could be wrong though. I am no prophet. This all inspires a curious question though; will cryptocurrency be the key so we can all lose our (statist) religion?
What if an anonymous crypto existed outside of the boundaries of commercialism and the UCC? For starters, if it did, we should not call it a coin or a currency, as they've pwned these words. Just some food for thought, thanks for taking the time to read my crazy musings!

Excellent post my friend! Apotheosis, however noble a pursuit, can certainly drive a person insane. Many a ruler across history has named themselves a GODKING to varying results, hell even Macron from France thinks of himself that way. I think the biggest difference between someone who wants to a better person and a megalomaniac is a desire to be with God and a desire to be on His level or higher. Oddly enough apotheosis appears in all cultures from the Buddhists seeking Nirvana to the Atheists trying to live with no carbon footprint and be the most virtuosic SJW in the land ;). When it comes to Christianity I think the sect that takes the cake here is the Mormons, but it always is the Mormons isn't it...…...
Hey @gregorypatrick thanks for the feedback and the Resteem!
It's funny how you mention the god-King, I wonder how often in history god-Kings we're interchangeable with God? Dan Brown (a writer of fiction) had this strange theory that JC (Jesus) was also Julius Caesar. I've seen that theory on the internet too in places, although, I know not what to make of it.
I do know that Julius Caesar's divinity in Rome was established after his assassination when he was called Divus Iulius (or Divine Julius). His adopted son Octavian took on Divi filius (son of a God).
So when you consider those things along side of Christianity and the works of people who wrote of God in general, I can't help but wonder how many times they may have been writing about men who were claiming some kind of god-king status.
As far as modern religions go, it really is tough to say for me. There are so many different variants within the Christian umbrella. I mean, most Christians believe they will go to heaven after they die and isn't that some form of being on God's level. In the heavens, rather than on earth for example.
I am certainly no expert or authority on the matter. I just do a lot of speculation on the topic. If I were to entertain the idea of the fiction writer Dan Brown, it might explain Julius/Jesus' mysterious early years, what if Caesar's death was a fabrication so that someone else could take the throne?
It definitely seems like a question for experts or historians to either tackle or debunk.
I do love Dan Brown not only because he is a local boy who made it. I've read most of his books and should admit part of the reasons I joined the freemasons was to find out for myself what was his fiction and what was the truth of the group. I hung out in the same places with the same people he did but never did the chance to meet him.
One the best ways to prove a god king is just a man is to make him bleed for sure, that was true for both JCs for most people at the time. The resurrection was what made the first Christians reaffirm their believe in Jesus' divinity but when it comes to miracles I don't push hard. Seeing was believing for those who supposedly did but after 2000 years, ya it gets tricky.
I think that most Christians want to be in God's kingdom but don't think that makes them equal, more like a child being finally safe in their father's arms after a harsh trial, safe and cozy and without need. That being said, some think Heaven is a holding pen for souls until they can be resurrected and literally rise from the dead after the Reign of Satan ends and the wicked are gone. Some (like the Mormons) think they can be blessed by their creator with powers equal to His and will travel the cosmos until they create their own planet to Lord over.
It's safe to say things are off the rails a bit when we all believe such different things but I love the debate. I personally lean toward more of a Jewish idea of an after life where there is no hell, the wicked and evil go to the same place but the proximity to God makes Heaven bliss. If we are nice we hang with nice people, if we are evil we get evil company far away from this who are good. Sounds nice to me and no one is getting punished in that line of thought, we just reap as we sow so to speak.
That's very interesting that he was local to your area. I don't think that the movie(s) really did his book justice. Yep, just so many belief systems in America and the fact that we can coexist peacefully is the awesome part about it, in most cases anyhow.
Importing too many religious folks from lands with theocratic forms of government, rules, and punishments, and that's bound to upset the balance as far as peace is concerned. I don't envy the job of those who attempt to steer the ship of State.
I can't say with any confidence of what comes next, I do hope it's good. Nice people sounds nice, and not having to deal with evil people sounds nice as well.
oh ya, the best way to keep things copacetic is to keep church and state as far away from each other as possible. Authority always leads to power and then to corruption so we need to keep theocracy out if we are even to be able to have this discussion, it's essential.
I don't think Tom Hanks made a good Langdon, he didn't pull off the presence right and the look wasn't quite there I'd say.
When I was reading the first book, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm not sure if it was Hanks or the fact they had to remove much of Brown's dialogue. Maybe some works simply do not translate well to film.
It probably was the dialog changes, they had to change it all into exposition to fit in the story I bet and it had no room for personality.
Highly rEsteemed!
Hell yeah, whip they asses J man!
OR is it the mark of the beast?
The problem with people who want to do away with nations is that in such a scenario everywhere does not become awesome like the US and everyone does not enjoy the rights and privileges that Americans now enjoy, under a one world government everyone has all the rights and privileges that a Chinese person has now, basically none.
I have often wondered how crypto enthusiasts can assert crypto is free of the world rulers when its value is determined by their debt currency. In order to live within the world they rule, one must submit to their rule. I have been writing the last several days on this, and pointed out to my other half this morning that if one notices the way Jesus and Buddha lived, they did not adorn themselves with the baubles of the rulers, and lived simply without those binding agreements with the rulers.
Thanks for your feedback @practicalthought.
Ever noticed for a while there bitcoin was selling like hot cakes? 'Selling like hot cakes' is an idiom, hot cakes were pancakes. So apparently when pancakes were first invented they were a big deal?
I don't know if it was the dollar determined the value of the hot cakes or if it was their utility and the demand for it. They tasted great and were filling to eat. These factors likely caused a demand for hot cakes.
Maybe the value of crypto is determined by the demand for crypto? Maybe the utility of crypto is it's merit as a competing currency? In a hyper-inflationary society you put money in a bank and it will like clockwork lose value.
Suddenly a new player comes to town where it's no longer a one way street. If you owned that currency it could retain, lose, or gain value. This instead of just being guaranteed to lose value. With crypto it is a lot of speculation that is for certain.
I'm sure you would agree with me that some folks would be willing to trade gold in exchange for so many units of this or that crypto currency.
That said, does that mean that one could also come to the conclusion that gold determines the value of crypto? I think in this case the crypto currency may be the product and it's value determined by demand.
People have been getting screwed over by the banks for so long I think they simply yearn to be detached from the entire system.
A lot of folks might not even be aware of it consciously and are yet still gravitating towards becoming financially liberated from a corrupted banking pyramid scheme.
The more widespread it's adoption... well, I don't know with any certainty what the future may hold in this regard. Everyone seems to be predicting that crypto is the future and that it won't be going away.
I might not be well enough learned on the topic to provide a satisfactory answer to your very thought provoking questions. I'm going to go check out those posts you mentioned right now!

The solution lies within the Union States themselves! To quote Pogo, the cartoon character, “We have met the Enemy, and the He is us!” Remember from Black’s Commentary:
