The On-Going Struggle of Humans and their Attraction to Occults


When a group of humans cannot get their brains to grasp at least some parts of reality, it can lead to mass deaths. It can also lead to powerful political movements which endanger the future of entire civilizations and perhaps humans on the earth.

We have all heard of Hitler, the Nazi Party of Germany and their roles in World War II. There is now renewed study of the long standing popularity of strange myths which drove formation of the Party and of Hitler's rise to power. That history is easier to understand in the context of what we are experiencing in real time.

WWII started in the late 1930's with a thread of thinking about the superiority of the Aryan race. This thinking was enhanced by pseudo scientific propaganda. Books and articles were published about the superiority of those who were white, of certain height, facial characteristics, etc. It was claimed this group was a race, though this was not true. We know, however, this false belief drove an entire nation into a political direction that was a disaster to the world.

Today we have at least two forms of pseudo scientific propaganda that are driving political behaviors in directions that need to be stopped or harmful consequences lie ahead.  One is vaccinations against the Corona virus.

I live in a building with 50 units, people of all ages. A woman we know well asked me to see if I could help her with an appliance problem. She lets others know of her Christian faith and that she is not vaccinated. "We don't know what's in it" she repeats. I wore a mask in her place as did she but she was quite close to me while we looked at her appliance. This pseudo scientific babble is driving millions to not get vaccinated and can only be considered a modern day cult of belief.

Just now the big news story is anti abortion in Texas. This is another case where a religious belief a fertilized cell is a human being is given a pseudo scientific explanation, that the fertilized cell has its own DNA. This has nothing to do with the time when a pregnancy creates a human being. Each egg and sperm is unique, one only has to look at the children of the same couple. Yet, the pseudo scientific explanation has been a driving force in politics making the lives of women more difficult than the lives of the men who impregnated women. 

Anti abortion is a repeat of the superior Aryan race and the myth of the vaccine.

    Jon; You really do need to do "real science" on the DNA resulting in the first division of the fertilized cell. (not one cell, but two). This also explains the varied appearance of the "look at the children of the same couple" in future or previous fertilizations.

      helper: Numeric division - one divided by two is one half. Mitotic division - one divided by two is two. No longer mysterious but still awesome.

    helper--Yes, variations in siblings is mostly explained by random combinations of chromosomes, etc. The fact remains, the claim the "moment of fertilization" and unique DNA is the birth of a new human being is not a position that comes from the field of science. It is instead pseudo science propaganda used by those against abortion.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
