I was having bad feelings in my dreams last night. I won’t say nightmares. I practice some control in my dreams but never the less woke up and did not want to go back to sleep right away.
It all had to do with Satan and or the devil or whatever. The devil was something I used to get threatened with when I was a child. Rather abusive in retrospect to dump human insanity onto an innocent child as the justification to make threats and just because the child did not want to go to bed. I left the lights on after that when going to bed. It is some carbon footprints that ignorance leaves on the planet.
The Devil thing was related to Pat Robertson and his senile remarks about how the Haitians got into the tragedy they got into because of some pact with the devil. Believe me if the devil was worth his salt I would have already made a pact with him or her a long time ago. But where is a friend or benefactor when you need one. The devil is as useless and any other children’s myth. The alternative of good “Christians” wanting to take my soul is all I got printed on my tee shirt in this life.
Like most dreams, mine I think had its roots in a cartoon site listed by CNN on its website.
Pat Robertson Devil Cartoon
The sad thing is that the Cartoon says a lot about a lot of things in America today.
Is this my Secular moral outrage at Pat Robertson's blasphemy on the human condition for "inferior" people - inferior in his eyes - his supposedly superior christian eyes? I will let you ponder that question.
CNN which has been a stable supplier of the establishment bullshit forever expressed freedom of speech and passed long a cartoon of Pat Robinson as the Devil in no doubt luke warm editorial comment on the way Christianity, or major parts of it, has failed us in real life situations on this planet.
It is a secular swinging backlash after decades of verbal abuse from the politicians and bankers and members of Congress who use GOD like they use everybody else in the quest for a measure of power, glory and money.
When good ole Pat had to throw in the bigoted darkie joke while appealing for funds to help these black devils he finally crossed the line – a line behind which the MSM, main stream media, has been protecting these establishment figures for decades now.
There is a shift in the balance of power here in America. The religious establishment has allied itself with the politicians and the bankers and guess what - something is coming down the pike. A French Revolution to tear down churches, banks and state legislatures? I don’t know.
There is no God. Or at least no moral justice here in America. The Wall Street bonuses prove that.
We voted for change. There is going to be change come hell, high water or even earthquakes!
All I know is that the blogosphere is a powerful instrument and it is registering major disgust for all the fools in power. I am ready for a tea party! I am glad that Obama is finally proposing a bail-out or bankers devil's tax.
It is time to give the devil his due, tax him, and time to pay the piper for us all great and small alike.
Heaven and or hell can wait.

Fine. As far as history goes it mirrors Constantine's reasons for founding the Christian image in his Army god Mithra's image. Constantinian Christianity has little or nothing to do with Jesus and his social message.
But seriously folks, and or you Anonymous, if you are in need of a good Samaritan, would you want your preacher man to stand over you and tell you about your ancestors two hundred years ago living in mud huts and eating raw rats on occasion. NO!
What Pat Robertson said was vain,vulgar and un-christian. The now of Haiti has to do with the now of Haiti and not some ancient Voodoo orgy in mythology.
