In just the past few days, listening to CNN I have seen
several slick commercials promoting a "personal relationship with god"
and on to offering a "free book" to help you get acquainted with her.
They feature sports heroes, people with bold stories, like the little
deaf
girl dancing ballet.
My wary heart asks, "If its so great, why do they need to have ad men
sell
it to me between the 'news' items?" Then I have to ask, what kind of
news
organization allows itself to be
"sponsored" by someone openly promoting mass credulity--that means
society-wide believing in witches,
afterlives, ghosts, spirits, angels, devils. They are telling us
horrible
stories of real life, saying they are true, true, true and our sponsors
want you to believe, believe, believe.
Now, would this kind of mentality, this nexus of official truth and a
call
to credulity, be a fertile ground for a pogrom against uppity niggras
and
draft dodging hippies, not to mention trench-coat mafia teenage mass
murderers?
Let's make believe the Littleton scene was actually engineered by the ad
men. How did they miss the opportunity to make the two young men black,
and
what does that imply for the future of white teenagers?
Does anyone have the lines from Goebbels, wasn't it, about people's
willingness to trade their liberty for police when you get them
frightened
enough? In an age of massive official deception, promotion of believing
is
essential to achieving the goals of the state, religion is a highly
useful
tool of mass mind control. People who have a spiritual life and need to
defend religion are in danger of being used to promote blind obedience
and
belief in plausible official stories.
