Some Undeniable Truths

There are certain “undeniable truths”. It’s a fact that we have not elected a Democrat for president who lived outside the South in over 45 years. That’s close to two generations. We have not elected any president who lived neither outside the South or in the state of California during that same 45 year period. It’s a fact that the economy determines more than anything else who we will elect as president and all indications are now that we will elect another Republican in 2008 with our roaring economy.

It’s a fact that I’m not as infallible as I like to invision myself. Six months ago I p;redicted George Bush would never have another success with the Republican congress. I predicted Bush would feel the pressure and begin withdrawing US troops from Iraq. As things stand now everybody has forgotten about the war in Iraq.

There is every probability that the Da Vinci Code movie may not be nearly as successful as people think, due to the unfaltering activities of church groups. It’s a fact that even in this day and age people are brainwashed to assume certain things about Christianity and Jesus. We are “imprinted” when we are young, and as we mature we retain certain irrational beliefs that we learned almost subconsciously from our parents.

The fact is that when it comes to electing a president we are both gender prejudiced and racially prejudiced. No Black or woman has ever been the nominee of a major political party. Despite cries to the contrary, it’s people’s belief that “The Two Party System” in this country is sacrosanct, as if it were written into the constitution. No matter what steps are taken to break out of the mold, sheer prejudice keeps the two party system in tact. It’s a fact that the vote of the California electorate is completely immaterial.

World Net Daily has some stuff on dieting that said steak and eggs are OK every day and beer is OK to drink instead of water. The facts are that people are becoming couch potatoes and that if our diet doesn’t change we will die. But it’s also a fact that the life expectancy is about twenty years longer than it was fifty years ago.

In Europe they have done away with Fluoridated water. The fact is since we moved as a kid from an area with fluoridated water to an area without it- - cavities have increased. I never had so much as one cavity till age 9 ½. It’s a fact that the more a dentist fills your teeth the weaker your teeth become and the more likely you are to get yet more cavities. The vast majority of my own cavities are thanks to Dr. Budd who “found” more cavities in a visit in 1970 than I had gotten the whole previous ten years.

It’s a fact that I have committed more “sexual sin” since I’ve been a Born Again Christian than I did before I became one. It’s a fact that every single prediction of the “Second Coming” preachers have made over the past thirty years has been wrong. It’s also a fact that Jesus said you will be judged by “every idle word you say”. It’s a fact that if I need spiritual advice from a reliable person- - unquestionably the person with the best credentials for this is Myself. It’s a fact that the “lie index” of other Christians who have given me advice in the name of the Lord or whatever- - is off the scale. If there is a pastor whom you didn’t like 28 years ago because he’s too immature- - guess what? He still hasn’t changed. Personal weirdness is not something Christians grow out of, it’s a problem they grow into, just like the dogs on Uncle Mattie.

It’s a fact that I prayed regularly every morning to be over alcoholism the past year or so I had it, to no avail. After my “intervention” (some would say Divine Intervention) I never drank again after June 1st. 2001. After I began getting proper blood pressure medication I should have had all along and was put on resperidol, thoughts of both alcohol and religion kind of flew out the window- and despite grim predictions from about everybody that I’d soon go back to alcohol, I never drank another drop. It’s also a fact that people, aka. Christians lie when they say “If you just didn’t have a lust for women problem, all your other problems with God would disappear”. Once again it didn’t happen that way- - - not even close.

It’s a fact that overpopulation is a grim fact that one day is going to manifest itself and bite us on the ass. In 1961 I remember reading a book that said if we did nothing about the population problem, by the turn of the century our world population would double to six billion. Guess what? The population doubled to six billion.

It’s a fact that “normal people” are poor judges of both whether they are psychic or whether they are psycho-kenetic or have the power to influence other objects. The people with the best proven track record of judging their own abilities are people who are labeled “Depressed”. Some have used the adage, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”. This is “magical thinking” if there ever was such a case. People who judge “mental illness” by “The way you look at your environment” are off the mark because everyone’s environment is different. There seems to be a lingering belief normally held only by toddlers and infants that if you look at something there is something going from your eye to the object that affects it. This same line of thinking says if you want to hide from another- - just close your eyes. To report that certain people are or are not a certain way- - first it’s necessary to look at the Facts, before you begin accuse people of distorting those facts. (Selah)

“You’re telling all those lies- -

about the good things we can have if we just close our eyes”

OK we had power cord problems and we lost our blog but fortunately it was already saved in various componets. Below are some vintage compilations done mostly Sept. 2004, Vol three is October 2004. We did two minor track substitutions and if you're psychic you know which they are- - otherwise you must not be psychic.
