See, I__ a great believer in the power of negative thought. And in an age of affirmation, of self-help and self-love, of the rebirth of wide-eyed idealism and the power of positive thinking _ I__ happy to be a champion of skepticism and doubt. That night, I rediscovered my role, my reason, and my rage.

Some churches, sects, cults, or religious movements are basically collective egoic entities, as rigidly identified with their mental positions as the followers of any political ideology that is closed to any alternative interpretation of reality.
A utopian system, when established by men, is likely to be synonymous with a dystopian depression. The only way for perfect peace by man is absolute control of all wrongs. Bully-cultures find this: with each and every mistake, another village idiot is shamed into nothingness and mindlessly shut down by the herd. This is a superficial peace made by force and by fear, one in which there is no freedom to breathe; and the reason it is impossible for man to maintain freedom and peace for everyone at the same time. Christ, on the other hand, transforms, instead of controls, by instilling his certain inner peace. This is the place where one realizes that only his holiness is and feels like true freedom, rather than like imprisonment, and, too, why Hell, I imagine, a magnified version of man's never-ending conflict between freedom and peace, would be the flesh's ultimate utopia - yet its ultimate regret.
Dreams and freedom are the same. In order for them to be, they come with a price.

Jews and Asians are only 7 percent of the total population, and between them they dominate in fields like medicine and engineering, not to mention entrepreneurship and academics. They rarely end up in prison or gangs (this is especially true of Jews). And while they are historically poor and persecuted, they have not allowed themselves to stay in that position. Take their story and compare it to black Americans and how can we explain the canyon that separates them? I__ sure the Jesse Jacksons of the world would sooner become Holocaust deniers than admit to the real answer: Family. Education. Ambition.Family.Education.Ambition.Whenever the plight of the minority in America is discussed, you__l notice that Jews and Asians are left out of the conversation. In fact, many school systems are now trying to figure out how to get LESS of them in advanced placement courses and prestigious colleges. They__e become too successful, apparently. But it__ not just their success that the race mongers hate, it__ HOW they accomplished it. Their men don__ father dozens of out-of-wedlock babies with dozens of women. Their households insist on discipline and academic success. They work hard, they are driven. Asians may now be at the point where they actually enjoy preferential bias. If I__ an employer and an Asian walks in to apply for a job, I__ going to assume he__ an achiever. That__ not a stereotype, that__ called a reputation. And they__e freaking earned it.Family. Education. Ambition. These three things really are a recipe for success. If you don__ believe me, ask the next Asian or Jew you meet. And then make sure to take care of your co-pay on the way out.
I'm not a political Christian; for the most part I allow people even their vain, earthly rights. And I certainly don't see anti-Christians as bad or evil (as if they actually have the power to pose any kind of threat against God Almighty), but rather complete idiots I was commanded to love.
We have taken the holistic message preached in the Old Testament and New Testaments and reduced our message to the entry point into the Kingdom.
We keep electing council members for appearance sake, it doesn__ mean anything, and it is just a show for the people, so that they may sleep well at night with their delusion of peace.
Criminal activity exploded throughout the city _ thugs multiplied by the thousands. Without fear of rebuke, there was nothing to stop them. It is the ultimate penalty that comes with tolerating the intolerant.
As the flesh gets in the way of our ideals, we regulate ourselves unto enslavement and inhumanity.The human spirit then dies and the animal in us returns.
The single best thing about coming out of the closet is that nobody can insult you by telling you what you've just told them.
Truth will never shine from a heart filled with corruption and lies.
