This Is What We Have Come To

2 Tim 3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

I'm flippin done.
Maybe it's because I've been sick lately with a cold that really sucks right now. Maybe it's because I'm getting crotchety in my old age. Or maybe it's because I've just had enough of your crap. I'm sick to death of the crap you've been peddling and that people have been buying up by the boatloads. I'm sick of how ya'll act one way in public and behind closed doors it's like you're another person altogether. I have an inner B.S. meter and most of the time it's ringing off the hook. Especially when I'm around you.
As far as I can see my time here is coming rapidly (I hope) to a grinding halt. And when I tell people I look forward with tremendous excitement to the event of my own death they do the sign of the cross (about time!) and look at me like I'm crazy. Now don't anyone who actually cares get all alarmed and all. There is no condition other than life itself that has me talking like this. The only terminal illness that I know of having is dealing with this life and this world. And sin of course but that's been dealt with so there's no need to go into all of that.
I'm just feeling like Howard Beale (Network) or William "D-Fens" Foster (Falling Down) who both felt pushed to the brink and were just done. Now I'm not intending on going on a rampage or offing myself. I'll stick around as long as I have to and continue to endure this crap; but let it be known that I'm not at all pleased with the notion anymore. I heartily agree with Paul when he writes in 2:Corinthians 5:8, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." Was Paul crazy for wishing this for himself and other believers? No, it was one of the most sane desires he ever expressed.
I watched this video earlier at the top of the page. It's pretty disturbing and the language is as explicit as it gets. Whats much more offensive than the language is the heart attitude of the offenders in this video.
But this is the crap that I'm talking about. I know first hand what it's like to be treated like this by kids and it takes everything in you not to slap the living crap out of them when it happens. I don't care how "christian" you are, if seeing this doesn't make you want to go round up these little "children" and spare no rod (no rod left behind!) then you're one of the people who have bought the crap that this world has been selling everyone else. But the problem is is that we're way past the point of no return on this stuff. Corporal punishment doesn't do any good because you people took prayer out of school and punishment out of the hands of the proper authorities and put the authority in the hands of these precious little ones. They know that there's really no real consequences because you liberal folks don't like locking up innocent little tykes like these fine children because don't we all know that their all innocent of any wrongdoing because it's their parents who messed them up. YOU FOLKS MESSED THEM UP BY LETTING THE LUNATICS RUN THE ASYLUM. The school systems have been feeding these kids cancer for years by telling them, "now little Johnny, if someone at home does as much as lay a finger on you or even holler at you then let us know and well make a call to CPS for ya". Well, years have gone by and these kids aren't stupid and they know that mom and dad and the bus monitor have no real authority because the laws protect the poor little innocent children. The reason that there even was a CPS in the first place was to deal with actual cases of neglect, maltreatment and abuse. REAL CASES. That was a good thing to do because let's face it, right is right and wrong is wrong and abuse on any level is wrong. But you people have thrown the baby out with the bathwater on this and have taken it to such an extreme that these kids have the run of the house in America now. So don't shake your heads in revulsion at this video and wonder how it all came to this when you probably helped to contribute to a culture where kids have no fear of any authority anymore. Why should they fear authority when there isn't any authority anymore? If this crap happened when I was a kid (and it didn't) then that woman would have started wailing on those little punks and walked them off the bus to their houses where mommy and daddy would've been waiting to pick up where the bus monitor left off. And everyone would've applauded.
But not anymore.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

You lovely folks started by taking prayer out of schools because you lived in fear of what us crazy religious folks were gonna do to your society. Hope ya'all like this result instead. And then you told folks that no one has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body and that it was ok for a woman to kill a human fetus. With that nice little present you sent the message that human life isn't really all that valuable anymore which was the very environment these kids were raised up in. You show them how invaluable they all really are and you end up with little savages who have no respect for themselves or anyone else. And why should they when you showed them that life itself isn't really as important as birth control? And now ya'all are insisting on same-sex marriage. We've been warning you people all along but no, you can't even begin to entertain the possibility that we just might not be as crazy as you all believe we are and so instead of having any civil discourse with us on these issues, you have instead become hatetheists and look down your noses at us because doesn't everyone know that Bible believing Christians are imbeciles who pray to an imaginary man in the sky? I read your stuff and the hate that you have for us is ridiculous. And it's really illogical and sad. We can't have conversations with people who see themselves as being intellectually and even morally superior to us. Yes, you see yourselves as being morally superior because after all isn't this same-sex marriage thing which we've been warning you all about is all really about equal rights isn't it?
You seem to forget that for every action there will always be a reaction that will be both positive and negative. The negative is the continuing breakdown of the family and the message that just about anything goes now between two consenting adults. There is no right or wrong anymore. We make the rules up as we go along. If you really think that this won't have some pretty bad repercussion then you just don't get it. And I'll admit ya'll make some compelling points about the disaster's us Christians have made of a lot of the family systems we've been involved with but the best results in any family I've ever seen is when that house consists of everyone being on board with God and doing it His way. But that's getting harder and harder to do these days when ya'll keep making up your own rules and turn your backs on God's.
We all will reap what we sow. Ya'll seem to like the idea of karma so sit back and enjoy the ride.

Just like the ride Karen Klein had on that bus.
