We, the Consumers
Imagine, if
you will, a society devoted to consuming things. It’s manifesto starts
like: “We have been
given the right to consume, and nothing will stand
in our way!” Food is packed into stomachs, then because more money is
available, expensive food is packed into stomachs. Then these overweight
creatures spend more money on drugs and programs to get rid of the flesh
hanging on their carcasses. But there is more money. So they buy things.
Anything, as
long as it doesn’t interfere with the manifesto of glut. They don’t buy
food for the starving, for instance. "The horseleach hath two daughters,
crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied,
yea, four things say not, It is enough: The grave; and the barren womb;
the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It
is enough." Proverbs 30:15-16.
A horseleach is probably a really nasty leach. Her daughters suck the
blood out of everything and give nothing in return. A leach is
despicable. And yet, our schoolchildren are taught that this is all part
of nature, and that nature alone decides what is worthy. It’s called the
survival of the fittest. The fittest are those who leach off others and
come out with the most possessions, or the most females, or the most
power. This is the natural result of teaching evolution. To cover up
this heinous idea, they talk about love and nurturing, nurturing and
nesting, nesting and families, turning men and women into natural
creatures whose main duty is to consume things and teach their children
likewise.
This is to be expected from those who are products of evolution.
Claiming to be wise, they say they are evolved from the same stuff that
birds and animals and reptiles came. They are like natural animals that
obey natural wisdom, made to be taken and destroyed (2 Peter 2:12). But
this is not fitting for God’s creatures. That is why God will judge them
utterly for their misuse of their heritage as men. This is not fitting
for those who claim to know God and love him. Consuming things is for
animals. They are interested only in their nerve endings and how it
affects their mental health. That is why sex and drugs are so prevalent
in a society bent on consuming things. Rich men and women, popular as
entertainers and the pick of society, destroy themselves looking for
more and more pleasure, and drugs and sex offer the most intense sources
of pleasure. Poor people can’t afford drugs and fancy sex partners, so
they are stuck.
Primitive, animalistic, societies allow or encourage sexual perversions
as part of their overall belief system. They are nature worshipers,
driven by spirits of all sorts. They teach their kids in tribal schools
to revel in expressing their animal lusts, telling them that this
empowers them and gives them self-esteem. Behind all this is a driving
commandment to consume things.
Ritual
cannibalism is natural. So is casual sex, “as long it doesn’t hurt
anyone.” And so divorces increase (which hurts no one?), vengeance
increases (this never hurt anyone), selfishness increases (your stuff is
my stuff and I’ll take it, O.K.?), hatred increases (don’t argue this),
suspicion increases (this is real healthy, right?), jealousy increases
(no harm done?)...you get the point. The only reason people believe the
lie that sex outside marriage is O.K. is because they want to behave
like animals.
Religion is all mixed up in this. Christianity is no exception. There is
nothing like Christian drugs, dispensed by money-crazed doctors, to
liven up the day. Illicit sex is rampant in the church. Homosexuality is
ruining the foundations of everything holy and harmless.
Priests/pastors, not satisfied with normal married lives, go for
children and same-sex relationships. They heartily defend queers,
calling them gay. They have to. Some of their best paying subscribers
are queer and sexual predators. Perhaps the reader has lost the
connection between this and my original thread, we, the consumers. A
little scripture may help:
Ezekiel 16:49 " Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and
her daughters had pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did
not aid the poor and needy."
In case the reader does not know about Sodom, let it suffice to say that
the term “sodomite” means “homosexual” in our euphemistic jargon.
Attempts by homosexuals and their smiling, nodding, pastors to cover
over this simple meaning only proves that they are hiding their true
intent, the sexual predator content of their minds. As consumers, they
have lost the sensitivity of nerve endings through gross behavior, and
must seek more and more to stuff their horseleach appetites. The care of
others goes by the wayside. Why is it that queers have to tell us all
about their wonderful works helping others? Why can’t we just experience
their love ourselves? The answer is in the question.
We don’t want to experience their kind of love, or if we do, then we
have already fallen. No, they have to wave a flag just like the other
hypocrites, showing us how they take care of the poor and the needy,
when we should really know different. They want us to consume their
movies and their albums, so they can raise funds for AIDS research. They
say they care about the children living in animalistic societies dying
from their parents’ promiscuity, but they won’t tell the truth about how
to stop AIDS. So they teach us to consume more and more, saying a nickel
from every dollar will go into a worthy cause. This is not the same as
helping the poor and needy, folks.
So, in conclusion, it is fitting that we as a nation are fulfilling the
Scripture that says, “... for although they knew God they did not honor
him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their
thinking and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise,
they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for
images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles. Therefore
God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the
dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the
truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather
than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen. For this reason God
gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural
relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations
with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men
committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons
the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to
acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper
conduct. They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil,
covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity,
they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty,
boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless,
heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's decree that those who do
such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who
practice them.”
We, the church, ought to repent in sackcloth and ashes, turning from our
consuming desires and returning to the Lord. We ought to seek the
Kingdom of God and let the rest come to us instead of pursuing the
things of this world. We ought to take our goods and help others, or at
least give money to those who are truly serving the gospel of Christ.
Otherwise, let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we face the
judgment of God.
