Instilling fear

It appears I have become a person that the right wing fears. For very good reason. No, that does not insinuate any form of violence.

The Conservative's favorite tactics are insults, lies and violence. So strange that what were once considered Christian values are so far from that now. Compassion, charity, honesty and caring have become completely the realm of non-Christians in modern America.

Even as I was writing this, a Conservative posted a reply to something I said which referred to Jesus being against violence. "Beat your swords into plowshares." He replied with a passage where Jesus told the disciples to buy swords. In truth, he was being facetious. When they tried to use the swords, he stopped them immediately. 

I responded with the above plus a number of other quotes which refer to love, not judging, etc. 

What they will do is take something out of context and try to use it as rationale which is severely inappropriate and twists the meaning.

So, it seems my life has come strangely full circle. Studying to be a minister when I was young. Now, as a non-Christian (I still believe in Jesus as a teacher.) I am becoming a teacher of true Christianity. Because modern American Christians have become nothing that resembles Christianity as it was written. They use racism, bigotry, racism, hate, violence, disrespect, anger, homophobia, greed and hypocrisy. Then try to distort the Bible to make it support their behavior. 

I want to instill fear in them and I am succeeding in many cases. I will not lie about anything to do so. I respond with science, logic, objective published studies and their own Bible. Every time I see them spreading lies, I counter them with truth. Many times I use that truth to reflect back exactly how wrong, dishonest and heretical their statements and behavior are. I do not touch their beliefs if they are personal beliefs which do not affect the lives of others. I do respect their religion. I do not respect when they distort that religion to victimize others. 

The fact that I will use these tactics and not resort to mindless insult matches is what instills fear in them.

One of the biggest things lately is the right wing supporting Donald Trump for President. The man is abusive, racist, delusional, has a long history of disrespectful remarks toward women. The fact is, he is dangerous. One of the biggest tenets of his campaign is saying he will deport all illegal immigrants. Then says he will build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. and make Mexico pay for it. I tried logic. That didn't work on a bunch of mindless, hateful bigots. So I changed tactics and used what I actually see as a possibility. 

There is no way he can make Mexico pay for a fence on our soil. That would require the backing of the international community, which would never happen. Which means he would divert money from public assistance and infrastructure to pay for it. Our infrastructure is already badly deteriorating. Then I went all out. To screen people would require racial profiling, which is against the law. Once a person is screened and found legal or even citizen by birth, there can only be two ways to keep from having to screen that person again. Either concentration camps. Or a national ID card, possibly an implanted chip. Which starts falling right into The Revelation in the Bible.

Now he started insulting China. Big problem with that. We owe China a lot of money. If they get angry, they can immediately call in those debts. I mean $Trillions. We don't have it. Meaning we would be completely broke. Nobody else has that kind of money to loan us. This is the largest debt in world history! So, we would default on the loans. That would destroy the credit rating for the entire country. Then the world bank would instigate austerity measures. Still, if China is angry enough, they could easily declare war. Joining and supporting them would be Russia, Iran, Syria and all the other countries the GOP has been insulting for so long. Then they would "march" across the Euphrates against us and any allies. Which would fulfill another prediction in Revelation. 

Some of them that still will not stop. They are stupid enough to want this to be the end of the world as we know it. They pay no attention to the suffering and damage which would be incurred. 

All I can do is keep battling and hope to make an impact on what may remain of sanity in them.
