So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.
And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.
Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it.
Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God who answers by fire, He is God.”
So all the people answered and said, “It is well spoken.”
Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”
And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them. And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.
Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down. And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Israel shall be your name.” Then with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two cords of seed. And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four water-pots with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.” Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time; and he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time. So the water ran all around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”
And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there.

Goddamn, but these fucking people are so brazen in their perversions.
Evangelicals thinking they're gonna burn down the world to try to "Bring back" (or more properly create) their version of Jesus (since it doesn't exist.) Like seriously most of these assholes' various "Doctrines" are products of the 19th and 20th centuries, just made up bullshit in real terms.
And idiot CEO's thinking they're pretty much going to burn down the entire existing structure of Humanity by replacing intelligent people with AI.
Yeah, among other things I don't think that's going to work how they think it is.
If you don't think putting computer chips in people's foreheads or right hands is their next move towards securing infinite Power and Control for themselves while they say "It's not the Mark Of The Beast when WE do it!" You're wrong.
Don't worry though, the Calvinist Fundamentalist Theo-Bros are totally Okay with all that, so long as they get to ban Catholicism, Islam and Judaism (and presumably everything else but their small miserable religiosity) and engage in creepy, ritualistic abuse of girls and women.
These Fucking People are all narcissists and everybody wants their petty power trip. They don't give a shit about anything the fuck else.
The only "Value" These Fucking People have is Slavery, in particular sexual slavery. Although they also like forced labor that gets them wealth without work.They see the Epstein Cult Victim, forced to participate in the worship of Baal and Hell only knows what else and who may or may not even have been taught anything, as more "Christian" (that word solely meaning "Befitting their worldview" in this case) than a strong independent woman who happens to be a Christian having a job and working with a partner who she loves and who loves her to support her kid and rebuild a life.
And I found out this week my partner's idiot MAGA relatives are still trying to make trouble for her and the kid. Fuck these fucking people.
They have been informed that if it keeps up there will be consequences.
You can take a lot of things away from a man. Cigarettes, the gym. You can take his freedom, his legs, but not his feelings. Not his feelings. A man loves a woman. Don't matter what kind of man he is, if he loves her, he wants her. He wants her body. He wants her to want his. So you say to him, "you can never make love again. You will never touch her in that way again. This is the last time. The last time. Forever." If that's not cruel and unusual punishment, I don't know what is. ~Augustus Hill, from the HBO series Oz, S1.E2 "Visits, Conjugal and otherwise."
It's not about Jesus. It's not about anything as you or I would understand it. Meaning and words don't enter into it, let alone love.
They don't care if it Ends the World.
In fact, if I had to guess I think Trump thinks the world ends when he does.
Like Ronald Reagan once said about government, These Fucking People are like babies; "An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other." And naturally, they were handed the country and that's what they, these alleged Republicans, turned the government into as well.
And they neither know nor care how anything works and they don't want to, but they expect all the rest of us to pay for it. As long as they get theirs they don't care enough to bother.
Reagan Wept.
We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out. ~Bill Cosby, the "Pound Cake" speech.
I'd say sooner or later that's going to show up in the results with the end product of their schemes, but the truth is I think we're already there. These idiots are destroying themselves, but they don't really care as long as they get to take somebody else down with them somehow.
The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. By day the dead impaled on spikes along the road. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calendar for five years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived and all the crops are long gone. Soon all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food. Within a year there was fire on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food. Always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice - difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke. ~The Man, from Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" (Film.)
The only people these assholes seem to want to allow to all pull in the same direction much less think of any kind of future beyond securing the petty tin-pot power to enjoy themselves is Billionaires.
It's a Crab Bucket for everybody else.
It should go without saying that people who think this way simply cannot comprehend Eternity or Infinity.
And that they do not believe in God.
These fools think they're exempt from their own bullshit but in the end they won't be.
And they're too stupid to realize their bunkers and their fucking flunkies can't protect them if the world blows up.
They don't care.
The question is, do you?
You either believe in freedom, and hell, in your own right to have a life, or you don't.
Слава Україна!
I believe in no God, no invisible man in the sky. But there is something more powerful than each of us, a combination of our efforts, a Great Chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interest that the chain pulls society in the right direction. The chain is too powerful and too mysterious for any government to guide. Any man who tells you different either has his hand in your pocket, or a pistol to your neck. ~Andrew Ryan, Bioshock
We have too many men of science, too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon On The Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. ~General Omar Bradley
Kino Loy: [presses PA system] My name is Kino Loy. I'm the day shift manager on Level Five. I'm speaking to you from the command center on Level Eight. We are, at this moment, in control of the facility.
Andor: Is that the best you got?
Loy: How long we hang on, how far we get, how many of us make it out, all of that is now up to us. We have deactivated every floor in the facility. All floors are cold. Wherever you are right now, get up, stop the work. Get out of your cells, take charge and start climbing. They don't have enough guards and they know it. If we wait until they figure that out, it'll be too late. We will never have a better chance than this and [looks at Cassian, knowing he said it] "I would rather die trying to take them down than giving them what they want." We know they fried a hundred men on Level Two. We know that they are making up our sentences as we go along. We know that no one outside here knows what's happening. And now we know, that when they say we are being released, we are being transferred to some other prison to go and die, and that ends today! There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! You need to help each other. You see someone who's confused, someone who is lost, you get them moving and you keep them moving until we put this place behind us. There are 5,000 of us. If we can fight half as hard as we've been working, we will be home in no time. One way out!
~From the series "Andor" S1 E10 "One Way Out."
