Climbing the Mountain, Tolerantly

 "DO WHAT YOU CAN, with what you have, wherever you are". "Expect nothing, blame no one, do something". Words of wisdom. Now, on to other matters. Unto reprobates, reason requires reiteration. If you are a born again evangelical Christian, have accepted Christ as your lord and savior, and you believe that anyone who hasn't, anyone who is not a Christian, anyone Islamic, for example, is not "saved" and that his or her eternal soul is therefore at great peril, you are an evil monster, an enemy of decency, and the world would be better off without your attitude and beliefs, perhaps your religion, perhaps you. if, on the other hand, you are a born again evangelical Christian, saved by your acceptance of Christ as your lord and savior, and you believe that all humans and all religions are beautiful and true, that there are infinite ways to the mountain top, and that all believers of all faiths, agnostics, atheists included, are beautiful, eternal children of God, you are beautiful, and beneficial to humanity. I know a monster who considers himself superior and virtuous because he is saved by the blood of Christ, believes he has a "one way ticket to heaven",  is waiting for the lord to return, (presumably in a fiery chariot brandishing a sword not an olive branch), and says that all Democrats and liberals go to hell. He is a humorless, personality, grumbling growling old curmudgeon, dines alone every day because nobody can stand being around him, and contributes approximately one piece per week to the community jigsaw puzzled at the local senior center, only after staring at the puzzle for hours on end every day. He thinks Trump is/was a very good president, revealing himself thereby to be, like Trump himself, a traitor and a criminal, and despite Trump's pathological lying, traitorous behavior, and criminality, all of which he is either unaware of or chooses to conveniently ignore,because, after all, Trump protects the unborn. the hateful old fool is probably on his knees at this very moment, praying to Jesus to deliver us from Joe Biden, and to return the lord's servant, Donald J. Trump, to power. he is a typical right wing evangelical reprobate, and is too stupid to understand that the social security he lives on is, yes, socialism. The very same socialism espoused by render unto Caesar give unto the poor Jesus.He further believes that the "Word of God" is a collection of primitive, barbaric ancient manuscripts written by ignorant people, in which God behaves like a genocidal, pathological demon. It is he, rather than the billions of good people he would consign to hell, who should be so consigned. so consigned to the hideous hell of his twisted imagination and mind, which, much to our good fortune, exists only within the pathological minds of those who imagine its existence. Anyone who believes in hell believes in it because he or she chooses to, wants to. You have got to be either mentally ill or just plain evil to believe in hell. Aren't there already enough problems and nightmares in this world? There is a special place in hell for anyone who believes in hell.
