Nihilism and Death Are Equality

I generally am not wrong about things like this when I say them but I certainly hope I’m wrong now. Fascist behavior is starting to take over. Violent misguided behavior that thinks it’s changing something to the better but is in reality is aiding in destroying it. Good Americans that know and understand history will not allow this.

It is not good enough that we just accept the bad behavior. We are now required to applaud it. Sinful behavior. Violent behavior. Emotive behavior that has little or no thought behind it. Behaviors where everyone does what is right in their own eyes. Behavior devoid of structured meaningful leadership. Anarchy and disorder due to absence or the ignoring of authority. Nihilism and the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless.

A war to push this nihilism is upon us that will be fought in our neighborhoods, homes and families. A large group is about to be on the wrong side of history and on the wrong side of the grave. The lines are demarcated clearly. You all know which side you're on. I tried to educate and teach people. I tried to help people find common ground but sometimes people are just itching for a fight. I pray not too many get injured or die.

As a theologian/theist, I assert that our postmodern world and the current postmodern society of violence and vandalism represent a rejection of theism or God, and that such rejection of God entails nihilism as there is no such thing as a theological or spiritual vacuum. If you remove God who is Spirit, something else that is spiritual will take its place as humans are created with a need to have some form of spiritual control or authority in their life. 

In terms of race we’ve become racial (or political) nihilists in an attempt to gain equality through force. One side, instead of getting what they sought which was equality worth/value…received exactly the opposite. There is now a move afoot to remove value. Disvalue. To negate the other side that does not agree with you.

Equality must be willingly accepted not coerced. You cannot make a person love another person. It needs to be a choice…or its not love. Its control. Racial/political nihilism in which no morality exists whatsoever for those outside your politick. Therefore, no action is preferable to any other. No behavior to violent. No apathy too cold watching a man die. In example, a racial/political nihilist would say that killing someone, for whatever reason, is neither right nor wrong, just a means to an end.

We’ve created a generation of monsters. In an attempt to make everyone equal we’ve destroyed the entirety of self-worth or value to half a disenfranchised population. Instead of equality of 7 billion lives we now believe that exactly half of those lives are of no value whatsoever. The dividing line? One’s political view.

Racial nihilism is applied to those that do not apply to your ideal. If they are of no value they are viewed as garbage. Detritus. Waste to be removed. The other side hold no value or purpose. All colors fade to nothing when one closes their eyes in death. Death…the great equalizer. Essentially the premise that you need to agree with me or I’ll find a way to make us equal anyway.

Do you understand now?

We are now facing the darkness. We need to be prepared to do two things. We need to extend a hand across the chasm. We need to reach into the darkness to pull the lost ones out that have fallen into its grip. At the same time, we need to acknowledge we are in a dangerous situation and be prepared to defend against whatever comes out of the darkness. We need to be eternally vigilant. If not, over time, we will be pulled into the darkness also. The devil prowls in the darkness looking for those whom he can devour and that darkness is upon us. Be light in these dark days.

Ecclesiastes 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.

Ecclesiastes 8:14 There is a vanity that takes place on earth, there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

  1. Have you reached across the aisles to other humble and righteous people such as yourself who, like you are experts in their fields? Are the answers all in one place? Or do they lie somewhere in between? Love. Listening. Understanding. Working on a common goal, these are the answers to that which harms us.
