In 2013, I wrote a piece for friends called "Mr Nobody"! That is who we all are to the political power merchants and addicts. The thing that must be said by each of us is this: to God, we are each His creation (our spirit is a gift from Him and is our life and knowingness of living.) To God, we are all somebody precious to Him. So what if this is a Christian and Jewish belief? It should be precious to us. Our world today has become all political with people who don't matter, only POWER! This was unacceptable in the beginning and has been unacceptable continually and will be unacceptable until forever! Nothing that God has made is meaningless! So, I am a Christian. So What? It is very important if this is indeed true. We are all valuable to God. Even those of us who are outwardly evil and don't believe this. Some people who don't believe this come to believe it! C.S. Lewis was such a person. Many atheists come to believe this. Humans are all Mr. Somebody to God! He does want us to hear and accept this. But He leaves it to us to accept or reject. It is called "freedom of choice." It applies to everything. Even if you don't like the key words, this is true! Are you just merely intelligent or are you a critical thinker? You are important to God!
Will you discover this? Will you seek to understand this truth? It is really up to you! This is an important philosophical discussion: Who am I? Why am I here?
This is one of my meditations and themes for the last several years. It is like a unfathomable, universe-wide subject. This is a good starting discussion of this subject. It is packed with meaning.
Humans are made in GOD’s Image and HIS likeness.
That Image in humans is this: our individual spirit & attributes.
The reason is so that we can relate to HIM. Our excuse that GOD isn’t human and a figment of our imagination is totally destroyed by Jesus. Freedom is in this discussion.
GOD created humans to be able to relate to HIM. Jesus came to be our individual, sinless Lamb of sacrifice. He will come again as the Messiah that the Jews are expecting but it will be to return believers (all those who have chosen to believe forever) to the Eden relationship with GOD. {The Biblical book of Leviticus is what perfect obedience would look like.
I finally understand its meaning and use.}
What GOD and a human creates are reflections of themselves. They are alike enough for the ...

While it is humanly impossible for humans to be totally good, we always can do much better than we have been doing if we individually want to do so! There is no concept that humans can totally achieve in this life. This applies individually, in groups or collectively.
The pathologies of today’s culture are apparent. However, they are called benefits & loudly proclaimed. They must be clearly seen as dangerous & wrong to our once-free country!
They are deliberately destroying Christianity, our country, our families, our individual personhood & our individual freedoms. Does this seem to be too extreme a statement?
Our media are calling evil “good” & good “evil”. Should that be totally right & silently allowed? Free speech & opinions must not live there? Freedom of speech is not absolute. This severe problem should be curtailed & limited within the proper bounds & situations!
Is it possible or allowed to seek those limits that do not destroy freedom of speech itself?

I do not support ANY, ANY political personality cults!!!! Left, Right, middle, it doesn’t matter! If you take the political part out, it is still so! Is this clear enough? I don’t support cultish “groupyism”!
My expectation is that any American who wishes to serve America in a political office would speak and act in support of our cherished American principles that are reflected in the best writings of our founders and all sensible people since then!
I am disgusted by the pragmatic politics and the excessive partisanship that the media love, especially for Democrats, it seems. I am disgusted with the pro-to-total leftism in our media. They do not represent thinking, peaceful citizens’ views! Individual humans are all over the belief spectrum with the issues. That is why discussion is necessary!
The people that I enjoy watching and reading at least attempt to tell the truth as they see it and are willing to listen to varying opinions and discuss them! From libertarian to center ...
