Sinful Man (American Judgment Day, Three.)

And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. ~Luke 5:1-11

The #1 movie in America was called "Ass." And that's all it was for 90 minutes. It won eight Oscars that year, including best screenplay. ~Narrator, from the film Idiocracy.

I saw this last night.

God damn it, guys, stop with the rape threats.

Like what part of "This shit is wrong" don't you understand??

I mean, I get it, the average dude that's talking like this has an inner life that's basically "Ass, the Movie" from Idiocracy and random Warhammer 40K quotes (and they've never even played the game) but come on, dude.

Seriously, you think COVID-19 or any other damn thing caused major societal problems??

You just started one.

Bros, women are already not leaving the house unarmed because of this bullshit.  I know women that are carrying guns. One of 'em only even has one or knows how to shoot 'cause she learned it from me. But even if she hadn't, she pulled a fuckin' sword on me once. In the YouTube demonstration video for that shit they were cutting up a freaking dead car with that big ass blade. Somebody is going to get shot, stabbed, they nuts ripped off...and deserve it.

"Your Body, My Choice?" She said "Your skull, my 2nd Amendment." And this woman is a lesbian, liberal as fuck, and happily married to her wife, who  despite being the femme, will fuck you up without needing a gun. 

And people like that have friends like me, too.

So I guess you've got that going for you. 

Or, like I said, there'll be a mass shooting because some bunch of dudes sexually assaulted somebody's daughter, girlfriend, mom, or wife. Like I don't give a screaming fuck, bro, there's whole cultures in this world where if you even say something like this, let alone try to do it, either a bunch of dudes will beat  up a motherfucker or somebody will kill a motherfucker and on whole large parts of this Earth, that person might not even be arrested once the circumstances were known...let alone go to jail. That describes Latin America, much of the Islamic world, the Middle East, North Africa, Central/South Asia, etc. 

Like, when I used to live downstate and I'd go to Walmart, it was a pretty frequent occurrence to see a gaggle of Muslim girls, all wearing brightly-colored Hijab but otherwise in Western clothing. You see them? You nod politely as you pass and maybe you politely say "As-Salaam Alaykum" if you wish to interact with them on a casual basis at all. You do? Their smiles will light up whatever space you're in. Should one of them feel comfortable talking to you, just making the effort even a little can make you a friend or useful ally, maybe more with a little kindness.

The dudes from over there are pretty much the same. Show them and their culture and faith a little respect, and they're cool with you. If you help them, especially without being asked, you've got somebody that'll have your back. It's called honor, you should try it.

I've been to those kind of countries, the women all got somebody whether it's a dude or not (although it usually is) typically a boyfriend, male relative or spouse who'll stand up for them in the unlikely event they won't beat your ass themselves, should you do something stupid. Over there, mistreating a woman can start a freaking war. That's part of how the Taliban got started, yo, by rescuing girls and young boys from bandits. Over there, there's a pretty direct pipeline between common criminal, petty drug dealer and Radical Islamic terrorist. You want to break laws or flout social mores over there? It's "Go big or go home" because you might be lucky to make it to jail. So people can't afford to fuck around, and it's generally a cultural expectation for a woman to defend her chastity. 

Also situational bisexuality is pretty common in such places, it's safer.

Yeah, it's patriarchal as fuck, but it pretty often works...especially when you consider in the Middle East there's families that've lived on the same street or in the same houses since before America was even America. And we're losing our shit after just 250 years? Come on now. 

(And don't give up your system of government for some drugged-out freak like Elon Musk, either. I mean how the fuck would that be conservative in any way?? Conservatism means Things As They Are...not as one would wish them to be.)

Fuck, in Western culture and literature there's whole genres of stories of brave knights and princesses and shit, King Arthur's Court, for fuck's sake! 

I was raised on this shit, with or without Disney.

Hell, haven't any of you shitheads ever played D&D??

Or do you just want to be the Orcs that damned bad??

Even on more peaceful ends of the scale, I used to work with a guy that was from a place called Orange Walk in Belize, I ran into him in Walmart one Friday after we got out of work. We were walking around together doing payday shopping and saw some Amish people. He talked about the Mennonites in his town and said if you're not in their community you don't talk to their women...or even most of the men. They don't bother anybody and as long as you leave them alone, or do business with them politely (and most do 'cause they've got the best produce) you're fine. Cause problems? They won't hurt you, much. But they will swarm you and physically throw you out if they have to and then you get blackballed and shunned by all of them. 

I saw this, too. Some idiot Twitch streamer went over to South Korea and livestreamed himself defiling a statue dedicated to Korean "Comfort Women" from WWII, played North Korean music on the bus, sexually harassed women and in general made an ass of himself. And guess what? He got arrested and now pretty much the entire society wants to punch him in the face. He's been beaten up several times and there's a bounty for the first person that knocks him out.

You want a Traditional society?? Guess what, that is what a Traditional society does and is.

There is not and never has been even one society in the world where this type of shit I've been seeing the last few days would be Okay. It's not Christian or "Conservative" or Traditional to hurt the ladies, and it's sure as hell not funny or right to talk like that. To do such a thing is a crime in any country in this world, period.

A woman's body is not a man's property...let alone some kind of public property to all men. Jesus what the fuck is wrong with you??

In the Yugoslav Wars, and in Bosnia in particular, rape was used as a weapon of war...in the case of that particular country, most especially against the Muslim community.

Is that what you motherfuckers want, to wage war against your fellow Americans?? 'Cause that's pretty much the vibe I'm getting and I'm here to tell you it won't end the way you think it will.

And trust me, I know how this will go on your own end 'cause I know how these kind of idiots think. They don't give a good goddamn if a woman is conservative or liberal, married or single, has a large clannish family or maybe a vengeful spouse. No, they just want some kind of temporary feeling of power, the "rush" of being "bad" or transgressive all cuz Andrew Tate got away with it for a minute. Last I checked, he's awaiting trial and not allowed to leave Romania, where he will almost certainly go to prison for a very long time, along with his brother. 

Like I said, I helped bust a few war criminals, Serb nationalists who'd done terrible shit to innocent people for no reason. They were all bitches when they were facing people who'd shoot back.

And guess what?? My opinion of you is that you're the same way.

It'll come to that, oh yes, 'cuz you think you're tough...inexplicably because of an orange fat dude that's never fired a gun or thrown a punch in his life, all he does is talk real big.

I still remember the morning I logged on after I got out of work and saw on Yahoo News that Radovan Karadzic had been arrested. Motherfucker had been hiding out, working as a New Age woo woo "doctor" and I don't doubt that Elon or RFK Jr. or Trump will eventually end up the same way when all this shit is all over.

Keep pushing, assholes, 'cause you're gonna lose. Your threats and horseshit alone might spark off the conflict that'll lead to your embarrassing defeat.

Real men don't need to hurt women to feel like men.

Sinful Man, who claims religion only for control and power, does that.

He knows he's going to hell. he just doesn't care.

You might succeed in destroying America, but you fuckers are still never going to amount to anything, and we'll build something new without your ass. 

Just like the Bosnian Serbs lost, so will you. Why?? Because you cannot even imagine yourself except as relative to another person in some imagined hierarchy. Relative status is bullshit, go figure out who you are and leave other people the fuck alone.

I'm a man. Fuck the patriarchy. 

I'm tired of this bullshit.

Слава Україна!

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan

Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and the overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the House of Abraham, Muhammad, and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors...

You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.

During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed (or on the same rug) -- while praying to the same God -- with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. And in the words and in the actions and in the deeds of the "white" Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan, and Ghana. We were truly all the same (brothers) -- because their belief in one God had removed the "white" from their minds, the 'white' from their behavior, and the 'white' from their attitude. I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man -- and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their "differences" in color.

With racism plaguing America like an incurable cancer, the so-called "Christian" white American heart should be more receptive to a proven solution to such a destructive problem. Perhaps it could be in time to save America from imminent disaster -- the same destruction brought upon Germany by racism that eventually destroyed the Germans themselves.

They asked me what about the Hajj had impressed me the most. . . . I said, "The brotherhood! The people of all races, color, from all over the world coming together as one! It has proved to me the power of the One God. . . . All ate as one, and slept as one. Everything about the pilgrimage atmosphere accented the Oneness of Man under One God.
