Dehumanize

The easiest way to receive support and assistance for bad treatment of an opponent is to dehumanize that opponent.

  Make them appear as subhuman, or of such an evil that your supporters no longer judge them as worthy of the rights of other human beings.

  This type of manipulation has been successful in various types of conflicts, from occupation, to wars, to slavery, etc. for ages.

  Many are a victim of this manipulation in our country right now and don't even realize it.

About me

For those that don't know me, let me let you in on a little something about me. I am like a total goofball. I love joking around. I don't take life too serious. I have a weird sense of humor. I'm annoying. I don't let a good/bad disagreement get in the way of a bad/good friendship. I don't get mad at people over the internet. I don't really get mad at people in real life. I'm happy go lucky. You can find me either smiling, looking goofy (my normal look), or whistling at work (and if you work with me chances are you've made fun of me for it at least once) I don't expect people to believe everything I believe. I am passionate about my beliefs. I respect that you are passionate about yours. If you disagree with me or I disagree with you, I still love you irregardless. (don't you just love that word? the dictionary sure doesn't) It's hard to offend me to the point where I hold a grudge, usually I'm over things within a cou

Kiling makes you neither a hero or villian, it makes you a weapon of darkness.

The interesting thing is that very similar statements as in this article at Creation.com, http://creation.com/will-cornick-murders-teacher?utm_media=email&utm_source=infobytes&utm_content=us&utm_campaign=emails , were made by an American Sniper , and they seem to be perfectly fine and acceptable, and even "Christians" support them. Quite disturbing to witness recently if you ask me. Here are the statements and incident I am addressing: "The horrendous stabbing murder of an English high school teacher and the comments the perpetrator made afterwards are a potent reminder of the possible effects of evolutionary thinking on impression able minds. Some of the sickening comments the teenage student made after the killing included: “I wasn’t in shock, I was happy. I had a sense of pride. I still do. “I know it’s uncivilised but I know it’s incredibly instinctual and human. Past generations of life, killing is a route of survival. “It’s kill or be k

The world as a whole needs Real Jesus

The world as a whole, everyone in it, needs the Real Jesus, that I have to even say that means people haven't been listening. But, the world cannot know the Real Jesus until the church as a whole gets to know Him. That is the problem I am addressing in frustration with many of my posts. How can you send out missionaries to reach the world, or even your own backyard, for Jesus, when all the majority of American Christian™ churches do is teach people about the same false god those in the world, or in your own backyard, already worship only with a clever name change to "Jesus?" That makes no sense. So before people can meet the Real Jesus, the people tasked with sharing Him with the world need to know Him. That is simple logic. So people say how can you be so certain? How can you be so sanctimonious? Who are you to say who is following Jesus and who is not? What made you the unofficial spokesman for the Real Jesus? Keep your prattling on to yourself we don't want
