Does it Activate God's Mercy?

Abstract:  Man's very imperfect functioning process within 
his very imperfect Laws are a good place to start meditating 
on God's Perfect Functioning with His Perfect Law.

Using mankind's imperfect legal systems of laws as a start, 
we can deduce what should, or might be, God's Perfect Laws 
awaiting us and our arrival to His Bench at our end time on 
earth.



                     Sin... Is it fun?

First, i would like to ask your forgiveness for these 
impertinent theoretical guessing games concerning the mind 
of God.

Of course, none of us knows a thing about God's mind, but we 
are told by all who investigate such matters that, "God is 
Perfectly Just and Perfectly Merciful." and with that single 
sentence we can deduce almost all we need to know as 
creatures about the logistics of the Heavens and the 
possible nature of His Distributive Justice and Moral 
Justice and even perhaps, His Mercies involved.

That God is perfect in His Moral Justice and His 
Distributive Justice, is a proposition that we can perhaps 
safely make or safely assume to be true and factual.  

However, His Perfect Moral Justice is somewhat more ominous 
to the outcome of our last judgment at our end time.

As discussed in the chapter containing the short paragraphs 
on, "God's 4th Dimensional Theoretically Perfect Justice", 
we can deduce through the artiface of a simple, (perhaps too 
simple) mathematical "Linetime" that we are simply thieves 
using up our childrens inheritance.

So this little chapter takes that idea and runs with it 
while examining the role of our personal "mens rea" (criminal 
intent) in our involvement with our personal activities of 
thievery upon the future.  It is a somewhat difficult or at 
best, tentative process in effectivity because mainly; the 
rank and file aren't ready to admit that they are stealing 
from the future.

Our failure of the considerate and considered husbandry of 
our own children's necessary future resources, necessary for 
them to simply survive that is, indicts us all as thieves, 
some carrying guilty knowledge, but most of us, apparently, 
in a typically thoughtless or mindless manner, act with 
total ignorance of the fact that their consuming activities 
are responsible for the interdiction of the earth's 
resources for the future and constitute an act of theft.

Of course, many of our brightest, consume prodigiously 
knowing full well and with almost criminal intent that what 
they are doing is wrong, and a major tort, if not an 
outright crime upon the future.

To make matters worse, their crime is being committed upon 
their very own and our very own as yet unborn children.

To say the least, it is a perplexing activity by a species 
that holds itself "intelligent".  Its self opinion of its 
station in the phylogenic order of lifeforms may need some 
reexamination.



                        NEWS FLASH!:

    The Daily Whistle:
    Yesterday - Moses, showed us some commands he said, and 
    steadfastly maintained, that the Lord had given him, 
    among which was one that said:
    "Thou shall not steal"

    The population and the high priests are currently trying 
    to figure out the meaning as well as any applicable 
    loopholes in this injunction.

    One group maintains that the stealing injunction and 
    other commands were given to Moses and were meant for 
    Moses himself, (a trickster who is reputed to be able to 
    do tricks with rods and staffs and such) and not the 
    Jews themselves.

    A group of collectivist Egyptians maintain resent the 
    implied indictment of their leader that all property 
    doesn't belong to them.
     
    A representative from a desert ascetic group maintained 
    after looking at all the injunctions tendered to Moses 
    that the private property injunction was just a standard 
    tool of the Evil Institution to just tempt men to 
    avarice and sin upon his neighbor and magnify the 
    aspirations towards the selfish accumulation of the 
    means to influence human labor, that is, to collect 
    money.

    It was the final opinion of the parties, that since no 
    one in the group was or admitted to being a thief, that 
    the command didn't really apply to them anyhow.

    In any event, shortly after receiving the injunction, 
    the local brouhaha died down and the targeted group 
    continued on as before.



If you steal a loaf of bread, and are caught and arrested, 
and possibly even jailed, you are labeled as a thief.

Some current societies have, ahem... er... draconian 
measures to handle crimes of theft.  What these societies 
don't realize is that thievery is thievery is thievery and 
the measures that they so fiercely espouse as punishment for 
others, perhaps are applicable to themselves as well if they 
take a long view towards the activity of their society upon 
the great unborn futures generational deprivations.

Be careful what judgmental flags you wave or bells you ring.  
They may wave or ring for thee.  

In these kleptocratic societies, with their conceptually 
deficient morality, stealing from the future unborn's 
wherewithal that is necessary for existence, the reality 
exists, that you are part of a many generational 
conspiracy stealing all that is necessary for the life of 
the millions or billions of the as yet unborn children of 
the future, you are then considered part of a successful 
superior group and think yourself prosperous.

Interesting thinking by humanity...

i wonder how God views the subject and activity.

Effective earthly stewardship is not mankind's forte.
        
Like thoughtless locusts, he/we is/are consuming everything 
around him/us.  And from this swarm of thoughtless consuming 
insects we hear the chant:
                      "i am who am..."
                  (lower case deliberate)

sigh...



                         Say again?

The question immediately presents itself, after the fashion 
of Descartes, "I am what?...".

Certainly our/their net or effective societal operative 
"process" i.e.:  "culture" are not Godlike or even simply 
just.  Our processes of civilization (culture) can be 
guessed to do great prospective damage upon the as yet 
unrepresented generations of the unborn.

i don't know how to best describe it.

defective?  stupid?  thoughtless?  mindless?  dumber than a 
stump?  lemminglike?  deliberately criminal?  black holes?  
supergravity? criminal? festering? evil? black? dark?  There 
really aren't too many words, even if you dip into poetry, 
to describe an evil so big, so vast, so extensive, that it 
has no name... 

The polemic adjectives and operational venues could go on 
forever that describe mankinds thoughtless earthly 
activities...

Just flat ass defective!...  something that you would expect 
out of the William Golding novel, "Lord of the Flies"

Or maybe even the insanities documented by Joseph Heller in 
his opus, "Catch-22".

"The Other Side of the Mountain" by Bernanos is simply put, 
far too parochial, too gentle, and too understated.  His 
deposition of our drive to darkness are much worse and far 
darker than that...  The literary workers mentioned above, 
are way too polite and genteel, albeit effective.

And by the way, as long as i am in blab mode, in passing, 
Godless collectivism has even a worse track record for 
preserving the commons for future use, greed and corrupt 
political processes continually sticks its/their nose(s) in, 
and corrupts everything.

Tibet is now a joke of its prior ecological self.  Butan is 
going the way of all ecosystems.  And all ostensibly to 
build a better kleptocracy (a defective theocracy) of the 
earths future critically needed resources.

Looks like just more myoptic and corrupt theocracies if you 
ask me.  i suppose you could advance the excuse that 
notwithstanding existing and current political progress, 
mankind is still learning how to handle itself.

But it is an advanced subject, the detail operations of 
which are way beyond a little joseph_sixpack mind.  However, 
facts are facts.  The topsoil is going away.

It is a problem that i think mankind can solve.  i just 
don't know if it will.    

In biblespeak, when Christ sleeps in the boat, ipso facto 
storms arise.  But given the history of the church, over the 
many centuries, and all the storms, it would appear that 
without a doubt, Calvary is necessary for human success in 
self government, but not a Calvary that delivers a myoptic 
and narcoleptic victim that continually falls asleep at the 
helm.

America and India and China aren't far behind either as far 
as committing waste upon the future is concerned.

Everywhere, the locusts rage, the roar of their unanimous, 
voluminous, unchecked chewing, unstoppable.  

We've turned the Earth into another forthcoming Easter 
Island, which is by the way, very appropriately misnamed by 
the titans in charge of human destiny.

It appears that there will be no Easter for mankind, but 
what there will be is just an easter island which will be 
just a wasteland and warlords offered to our children with 
all shrieking, "God has blessed our stewardship".  See!  
With no one noticing that there is nothing left for our 
children!  Something out of a Mel Gibson movie or a Kevin 
Kosner Waterworld, except that there won't be anyplace left 
where he won't be permitted to go.  Shades of David. 

After all their efforts, they will then retire to their 
respective dens and churches, scratch pictures on the walls, 
light candles, burn incense, and sing holy songs badly out 
of tune, and for which, they do not even understand the 
meaning of the words.

After services, they will then go forth to protect their 
turf and continue their defective stewardship and try and 
coax carrots out of the now mystically barren ground and 
watch and let the sheep eat the grass down to the mud to 
further facilitate soil erosion so nothing will then there 
grow after the rains have come...

Admittedly, wool is nice when it is cold.  Cloth from the 
desert protects against the sun but won't keep you too warm 
when the wet cold rains arrive.  Perhaps the new plastics 
might have something to offer after all.

The problems are way beyond this little joseph_sixpack's
ability to solve.  i have to leave the solutions to you dear
reader.  The problems must be solved.  

If the problems aren't solved...

It is altogether just too depressing.  The weeping of our 
children of the future seeps unceasingly though the walls.

The sounds of the starving life of your/our children turns 
the meal of your/our current myopic Agape into just so much 
tasteless filth.

                      Effective Agape

Let's talk about agape for a second.  Christians are fond of 
blabbing on eternally about love.  But the duty of love is a 
duty of effectiveness.  Our Agape must be effective.  It 
must work.  It must be real.  Therefore Agape has to extend, 
and extend effectively, to the as yet unborn in the future
as well.

We are charged with loving they who will be as well as they 
who currently are.  The "I AM WHO AM" are linked together 
like a seamless chain down through time.

Our thriving thievery implies that we are saying, "fuck you 
and yours" to all the remaining links, all the way to the 
end of the chain.

Now, we won't even get into Saint Augustine's and the many 
church father's discussions of the necessity of spiritual 
poverty.

Let us earthlings at least put our heads together to 
preserve the earth until God blows the whistle...

Let's try it for go of a thousand years okay?  That isn't 
asking too much is it?  After all, we have a theoretical 
three billion years to go.  A thousand years is just one 
inch of LineTime.  Then we will work on the second inch 
later of our 46 mile march up country.  That only leaves, as 
a guess, 2,999,999,998 inches remaining, at a thousand 
linetime years an inch...



                         The Trial

Now the issue becomes:  How does God judge or determine the 
varying mens rea (if any) of our thoughtless thievery?

Well, the main man says, er... i paraphrase...
 (quotes ommitted deliberately):

Father forgive these dumb shits.  They haven't a clue and 
know nothing of the purpose of my Justification.

But my bet is that more than a few in the jeering crowd 
do/did know more than they are/were letting on.  This sub- 
group carrys with it, for them and always, the Fatal Mens 
Rea.



                Round up the usual suspects

So let's examine our sinful status.

Group 1)  Most are not aware of the fact that their unjust 
consumption amounts in fact, to thievery.  For this group, 
there is no mens rea.  They are guilty of simple 
thoughtlessness and stupidity.  

Group 2)  For those whom God or the alternate institution 
enlightens as to their thieving status, the situation 
toughens up a bit.  As God or His Angels whisper in our ear, 
we become aware, and then we know, that we are just thieves; 
but we continue in our thievery, hoping that it really isn't 
thievery at all, just a miscall in analysis of resource 
management.  Within this group, some element of mens rea is 
probably constructive or implied to their souls.  They WERE 
told...

Group 3)  There is a group who do not believe in the final 
things, and as a result say, "piss on the future, let them 
take care of themselves.  I want it all for me now.  It was 
their tough luck to be born so late in mankinds greedy 
history."

There is no attitude of displeasing God here, if they 
thought He existed, they would certainly no doubt take a 
safer tact; Rather, they are guilty of just a clinical state 
of indifference to the future and its welfare, and even the 
welfare of their own children, as well as being guilty of 
abysmal ignorance.

Group 4)  The Romans are fond of using up future resources 
for the welfare of the State.  That is, the current State 
and not the State as it needs to exist down through time.
As patriotic as the romans are, even their patriotism turns
out to be myoptic.

The entire Mediterranean area are/is the remnants of 
thoughtless commercial and military activity in the past.  
The Romans needed ships as did all their successors.  The 
trees went, the topsoil went, the rocks were left behind.

Their Roman Gods are different from the Greek Gods or the 
Geek Gods or the Egyptian Gods or the Persian Gods or our 
God. (God is capitalized here simply out of deference for 
the word in this case...) 

These guys all need glasses.  They are living on a flat 
earth.  

They need a handicapped sticker and a white cane for their 
brains and quite possibly even their souls.

In their hands Justice has become a twisted perversion upon 
the health of the future.

Evil Central is much more intelligent than any of us poor 
worms who have only shit for brains.



                 So... Now back to Mens Rea

Group 1)  Here there isn't any mens rea.  Generally, there 
isn't enough intelligence to know that anything is wrong. 
This is the group of the dreamers of dreams.  (...ahem...)

We're concerned about whether the color of the drapes 
matches the sofa, and which to change if it doesn't.  We are 
concerned about automobiles, about planes, about 
helicopters, about wealth and security.  We are NOT 
concerned about the future, except for retirement benefits 
and good health into old age.  For this group, the universe 
ends one second after their own death.

This group of people go to the general land of the similarly 
thoughtless, where all those who were similarly thoughtless, 
have gone since God created the Heavens and the earth.  For 
the most part, the land is ignored.  They unknowingly live 
with their unknowing sin upon the land occupied forever 
prior by the similiarly thoughtless. Consistent with God's 
Mercy, the prison guards keep things functioning and 
fertile.  Most eventually catch on.



                           Sloth

Group 2)  Depending upon what we do with our new found 
revelation and the adjustment of our consuming condition, 
God so Judges us.  This is bad news.  Most of us (ahem...) 
don't do anything to alter our consuming pre-judgment 
condition.  It is too much trouble.  We have kids to raise, 
we have bills to pay.  We gotta work.  The alternate 
institution offers employment.  Besides, it is not a sure 
enough idea to pull up reins and halt consumption for the 
unborn of distant generations.   

God puts us with those who knew and did nothing.  He puts us 
with similarly, "the undecided", and "too lazy to change" 
peoples and the lands they live upon; and there we stay for 
the duration in the land of the don't give a shits and 
preoccupied with selfs.

For most of us, post-judgment reality amounts to consignment 
to any one of a thousand quarantined islands and areas 
mapped upon the surface of God's mercy.  The lands of Mal 
and Indol.



                         Anti-Pride

Group 3)  These tough stones go to the land of tough stones 
and take receipt of a land that has been filled with "piss 
on the future people" since time immemorial.

It would seem to violate the principals of mercy to put them 
anywhere else.

These are the unbelievers.  They are not guilty of the sin 
of pride, but of anti-pride, assiduously avoiding any 
motives of acting out in any semblance of actions resembling 
the taking on the name of God for purposes of vanity or for 
actions that result in non-results or worthless and vain 
results.



                Consumption without remorse

Group 4)  The earthly do-battle boys, defending invisible 
lines in the sand have a thoughtless way of life.  The 
Romans have a strange set of Gods.  Alas, but given their 
gods, it is to be expected.  Janus, the two faced, for 
example comes to mind.  

Their Gods all sound good, at least for a while in childhood 
when you are easily fooled and mislead, but after a time, 
and for most of us, a damn long time, it all begins to look 
and smell like dead fish left on a hot pier.

But even the old soldiers, now grey, at least the ones who 
are still living through some miracle, pull up and say, 

  "Whoa here!

  Wait a minute!

  If there is a God what the hell is all this WAR bullshit
  all about?

  Who is duping whom?

  Yesterday's enemies are today's friends and yesterday's
  friends are today's enemies.

  Have i served my people or just Beezlebub?

  And while i am at it, just who are my people?"

Having shaken the spear most of their life, some pull up, 
some do not but sail on to the skull islands and oblivion.

As you age, the world starts to divide itself into two 
groups.  Those who have not been judged, and those who have 
been judged.

We, as pre-judgment children are given liberty to play with 
all the earth's toys and everything as children.  But our 
days as children come to an end with our last judgment.  The 
post-judgment crowd, who now judged, occupy the respective 
lands of post-judgment internment.

As children, as of us are given liberty, but then there 
comes a day when there is justice for all.  Too late we 
realize that 'Liberty and Justice for all' takes on a new 
meaning for our transgressions when we realize that after 
our final judgment, most of us won't like our Justice at 
all.

Alas, as the book says, 'we could have done so much better'



       Blahhhhhhhhhhh and not Baaaaaaaaa...

Other areas of concern that randomly come to mind are 
Fishing on the left side of the boat.  Apparently, from the 
apostolic results from attempts at fishing, even the dumbest 
fish in the sea aren't stupid enough to get near those nets.  

That Christ has to tell them which side of the boat to fish 
from indicates our innate cretinhood when we try and don the 
'i am who am' mantle.

This is an apostolic activity that needs to be continually
monitored and whose motives need to be closely examined for
not heeding the "red letter" injunctions.  Yet another area
of constant failure of/for all of us.

In the words of newspeak, these eternal tedious ongoing 
situations of failure offer new moral "challenges" to all
of us christians for all time.

Without a doubt, Christianity is a pain in the ass to the 
animal in all of us, but the process (it) has to be done.
Well... at least consistently attempted.



                       One last note.

Beneath the jingoistic and Jurassic flags there lurks a
terrible darkness.  

A darkness for the combatants, and a darkness for the future
unborn after helplessly starting their new life in the lands
of "nothing left".

Thus endeth our short excursion into the lands of Mens Rea.  

Only a tiny corner of a huge carpet of concealment has been 
lifted as we have only just touched on a very small signal 
oilspot floating on the surface of a dim small pond and 
slowly spreading its way to its invisible thinness.

Untouched is the vast cavern of gravitational blackness 
below, towards which we are all drawn, and within which, 
many of us will spend our eternity.

Thou shalt not steal...

the commandment presents a terrible problem...

Thou shalt not steal...

Thou shalt not steal.
