Men and Gods
I have been thinking about Obama vs. Romney, and how the liberals and their media are feeling shocked and let down by Obama’s performance. Obama had nothing to say other than his talking points, and he could not answer any of the challenges that were put to him. Whenever Romney pointed out the poor achievements of his record he hung his head, and to me it looked like he was hanging his head in shame. I almost felt sorry for him, ALMOST being the operative word here.
Never before has there been a candidate who has been so trumped up, so promoted, and so devoutly defended without cause, and based on nothing. This man has a huge line of products with images of him, and his people eat it up. They put this man on a superhuman pedestal, and for the die-hard liberals there was no way to shatter that concept because the liberal media protected him. But without that barrier of protection, he’s just a king with no clothes.For years we conservatives have been saying that Obama is a clown, and an empty suit, but last night liberals saw it for the first time, and they were surprised by it. The question is, why are they surprised? One has to look at the psychology of liberals. Of course for me it is a third person perspective, so I could be wrong here, but I am going to talk about my observations.In general the left sees their leaders as a superior type of man, or as something more than man, and they see the leadership on the opposition as an inferior type of man, or as devils. Given that, they are more likely to attach their identity to their leaders, and when their person is attacked they often take it personally. They are much more given to adoration, even if they don’t know what the man stands for or how it will personally affect them. It’s the same sort of mentality that causes some women to change their hairstyle or clothing based on what a particular celebrity has done. If it’s not idolatry then it is right on the thin line between admiration and idolatry.Actually it is a mentality that left wing leadership deliberately feeds and encourages, and which the left has historically used as a means of control. When I look at pictures and videos from rallies around the world where left wing followers meet with left wing leaders, I often see people overtaken with emotion, some of them with tears in their eyes. It looks a whole lot like what I have seen in church over the course of my life. There are always those people in church who get so caught up with their emotions that they cry, and they raise their hands as high as they can, and the unmitigated flow of emotion and being caught up in the moment is apparent on their faces. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with that in the context of worshiping God, but I find it exceedingly disturbing when I see that sort of attitude directed toward a human.I once saw a clip from a North Korean propaganda video. I don’t remember what it was called, but it was about a female comrade who was so patriotic that she disguised herself as a man and joined the army. In the clip I saw she was outed, and there was this song they were singing. The song was about Kim Jung Il, and they said, “We worship him as our god.”WHAT?!Yes really. An ideology like that keeps people cowed, and decreases the likelihood that they will speak out, and since left wing leaders are 100% parasitic and zero percent altruistic it’s the perfect ideology for them. They can just keep on living off the people and doing nothing constructive, and they can live a cush life with as much alcohol, women, men (depending on their fancy), drugs, nice cars, mansions, and whatever else they want, while the people exist as a machine to fuel their appetite. They become the very thing they deride publicly.Of course someone might say that this could never happen in a western country. Really?Disgusting blasphemy. It’s ironic how the left is so critical and derisive towards the religious right, when they have AT LEAST just as much faith and worship as we do, and theirs is not even directed toward an objectively superior being.Obama supporters:Christian Worshipers:What is more stupid, getting all caught up in worship over an objectively superior being, or getting all caught up in worshiping a human being? It is not healthy to get that carried away by a human being, regardless of what he may have done. When you worship a human you debase yourself.Since I was very young I raised to shun idolatry in all forms. I memorized the ten commandments, but even at a young age I thought about it myself, and on my own I came to the conclusion that it was stupid to worship something other than God, specifically a created being. My position is that in order to worship something which is fundamentally the same as yourself requires an inherently servile mentality. There are basically two types of people, those with servile mentalities, and those with independent mentalities. People with the first type make the best slaves, which is why they tend to gravitate towards more totalitarian leaders, and it is also why extreme left wing leaders make a habit of killing intelligent people, and limiting the people’s over-all exposure to information.The majority of people on the right are more of the independent mentality. Of course there are different subsets within that mentality. People with independent mentalities may be leaders, they may be people who just want to be left alone, they may be ambitious, or they may even be misanthropes. But you won’t find people on the right who have a blind faith or worshipful mentality toward any human.I am certain that if any liberals are reading this, they are thinking “well you worship your God.” Yes, I do, but there is no shame in that because the being I worship is actually superior. There are three different basic god-concepts. There is the pantheist god-concept which deifies the universe, there is the polytheist god-concept which has gods that are basically suped up human beings, like Marvel heroes, and the all powerful creator-God concept, or God with a big G. We aren’t worshiping some being that came into being at any particular time, or who was born, because that’s basically a suped up human, and worshiping something like that would be like worshiping some guy because he can bench press more than I can. The being that we worship is eternal, with no beginning or ending, he’s not a part of the physical universe or limited by it (much like how a human artist exists externally to his work). He is not a human being, or a human like being with superpowers, he has unlimited power, unlimited intellect, he has no equal, he cannot be physically harmed, he does not have the same nature that we do, and he does not bleed. If you’re going to worship something it should be something which is unquantifiable and infinitely superior. Not some idiot human who you adore for no clearly identifiable reason, and who you tie your identity in with, and who you worship because you feel a need to worship. Seriously, if your need to worship is that strong then go to church. Honestly, the blind Obama crowd gets more reverent and worshipful for their man-god than I do in church on one of my better days.“Well I don’t believe that your God exists,” someone is thinking. I understand that, but even if I’m wrong (which I’m not BTW) then I am still intelligent enough not to elevate a human being above human level. Worshiping a human being makes one the ultimate chump. There is no higher level of chumpery (yes I know I just made up a word), nor any higher level of brown nosing.
