July 8, 2004 journal, homogenized and pasteurized religion, getting away to Asheville NC. Like fresh milk is processed, the Christian Protestant Church has been processed through the years and especially of late it has been homogenized (pressured) to fit the mold and it has been pasteurized, cooked to kill the enzymes (the soul) and silenced to individual faith.  We have a processed religion today full of mind control and propaganda to fit the modern methods and the pocketbooks of the dominating con-artist in secular ecumenical religion. This war mess is a world disgrace and this administration knows no shame but continues to spread its propaganda to cover the lies and deceptions to Congress to get the vote of approval to go to war when the real motive was oil to further enrich the Houston Cartel. The post dramatic stress syndrome is now reported to be a major factor in many soldiers returning from the battlefront unable to resume their lives with psychological flashbacks. The countdown has begun to world chaos and we have a deranged lunatic at the controls. We can expect to see the Book of Revelation prophecy consistently fulfilled in our time. We are changing to a perverted world in religion and in society and we can expect to see the same destruction as God brought down on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah of old. Any person putting their mouth on a sex organ deserves to die according to Bible history. Exploring the city of Asheville beginning with the Battery Park and the Grove of the area on the highest hill in center of town.  Asheville has much to see and many homeless that are visible.  Marriott's Renaissance Hotel is convenient to the center of town and I-240. Continuing to quote from an article on our phony democracy "These spend their lives in jobs they hate to buy things they don't want, such as half-million dollar houses in suburbs, so as to pay taxes. Elections give them a sense of having a stake in their flensing:  The government is their hagfish.  Clearly taking part in this is unwise.  What then do we do? First, and most important, stop regarding yourself as part of government.  Government doesn't concern itself with you; why should you concern yourself with it?  The change of attitude provides both relaxation and prospective.  Next, avoid governmental impositions.  They are many.  Military service is the worst of them. Don't go.  A little man in Washing-ton, whom you have never met and wouldn't talk to over a back fence, tells you to kill people who have done nothing to you in a foreign country you may never have heard of.  Does this seem reasonable?  Finally, cultivate apathy, which is cheaper than Prozac and works better.  You do not worry about what you do not care about.  I do not propose a distressed scowl at life, but merely a wholesome indifference toward those forces malign and other over which you can have no influence.  Better yet, enjoy the onrushing atrophy.  Is the United States going to hell, Western civilization being subverted, knaves scuttling like fetid crabs through the corridors of power and nitwits ravaging the schools in the manner of monkeys in a fruit store? (Yes, actually) Relish it for the splendid historical theater that it is.  A better spectacle there cannot be.  I say this seriously, if you regard yourself as audience rather than participant, the accelerating collapse becomes entertainment.  You read each morning's headlines with zest see what new and preposterous clownishness erupts from Washington.  It is high comedy.  Just now Mr. B-us-h wants to tighten the embargo on Cuba because of its violations of human rights; meanwhile Mr. Bush is running a torture camp at Guantanamo.  We have a war on poverty that perpetuates poverty, a war on drugs that guarantees availability by keeping prices up.  I doubt that Mark Twain could make such things up. A huge gap separates those who, on one hand, eat their souls up over things they can't change, and those who, focus on friends, family,”
