Truth

Just read it, and let it sink in.

On Vomiting and Crazy Eyes
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - December 19, AD 2011 9:17 PM MST
As expected, the “hiss out of hell”, to quote Chesterton, came streaming out of my inbox with regards to the Immaculate Conception piece. But, there were just as many lovely emails, too. Thanks to all. One that stood out in particular relates directly to vomiting. The writer, a man, tried to take the tack that I was some sort of a fascist for, well, ACTUALLY BELIEVING in a doctrine or premise. His take – and this is EXTREMELY COMMON across our culture today – is that I have “my truth” regarding Mary and he has “his truth” and in the end it is all the same and doesn’t really matter.
Oh, hells no. He is where I GO OFF.
 
That “your truth – my truth” bullshit is one of the single most evil concepts in the universe. It is satanic and it is exactly the tool that is being used to destroy civilization and humanity. Rustle up a cup of cocoa or a glass of port and settle in, because this is going to go in-depth.
 
First, to the actual vomiting itself. For that we go to the words of Our Lord in Revelation chapter 3 verses 15-16.
And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith THE AMEN, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot. But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of My mouth.
In this context “THE AMEN” is used as a name of Christ Himself. “The Amen” means the Truth Itself, which is God Himself, specifically referring to the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, Christ. So Christ, who is Truth, says that He would rather people be either hot or cold, but lukewarmness He will VOMIT out of His mouth. That’s astounding at first read. In other words, He is saying, look, either believe something or don’t. Don’t come at me with this godforsaken “church of Oprah” bullshit about “your truth and my truth”. Christ would rather a person be an atheist than one of these wretched “hey, whatever” types, and I can actually see exactly what He means. If you asked me who I would rather have a conversation with: an atheist or a “my truth your truth bullshit” pseudo-Christian, I’d take the atheist, without hesitation every time. You can have a productive, informative conversation with an atheist. An atheist actually believes something. He has a premise, and he believes in his premise, and is probably able to defend his premise in a rational way. In other words, there’s some meat on those bones.
 
In contrast, the “my truth your truth bullshit” (MTYTB) pseudo-Christian is a vapid, inane empty shell. The lights are on, but Dude, NOBODY’S HOME. To wit, Oprah Winfrey. But more importantly, the MTYTB pseudo-Christian commits a blasphemy that even the atheist does not commit. The MTYTB person is actually denying that there is any such thing as Truth at all, and remember, the Truth isn’t just a mere intellectual or philosophical construct. Intellectual and philosophical constructs exist only in the mind of man. The Truth is completely external to all of us, and is not made by us or contingent upon us, our existence, or even our recognition of the objective reality of Truth. The Truth just IS. It EXISTS. IT IS WHAT IT IS, or to quote God Himself speaking to Moses in Exodus 3:14, I AM WHO AM. 1+1 equaled 2 from all eternity, and 1+1 equaled 2 before any human being had yet pondered the question, and 1+1 will continue to equal 2 forever. Even if every person falls into some mathematical stupor or heresy and collectively become convinced that 1+1=5, 1+1 will still equal 2. That will never, ever change.
 
The Truth is a PERSON, more personal and more real than you or me. His name is Jesus Christ. What the MTYTB pseudo-Christians are actually doing is denying the existence of God and instead setting themselves up as “god” because they cast themselves as the arbiter and standard of “truth”. Hence, “my truth”. What utter, abject evil. Even the atheist does not do this. The atheist still maintains that there is an exterior truth to himself, and that the truth is that there is no God. The atheist is WRONG, but at least he doesn’t deify himself and still acknowledges that there is an external, referential matrix. The supreme irony and joke about the atheist is that he unknowingly PROCLAIMS GOD’S EXISTENCE by insisting that there is no God as an absolute. Any absolute requires an external existential reality to serve as the supporting matrix of that absolute. Guess who that “external existential reality” is? Yep. If the atheist REALLY wanted to stick it to God, he would adopt the reciprocal of the very common pseudo-Christian super-fun rockband church position of, “Hey, there’s no God in my truth, but maybe there is a God in your truth.” That’s about as bad as it gets.

So back to our question of Mary’s sinlessness. Either she was or she wasn’t. This is a binary question. Either I am right and you are wrong, or I am wrong and you are right. Period. Mary was and is a real person. She isn’t a fiction or a philosophical construct. And neither is Christ. Either Christ is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity who died for the sins of man and rose from the dead, or He was just another insane person. Either Jesus Christ is the Truth, or He was the biggest liar in history. Either the Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine, or it is a ridiculous, meaningless wine tasting, and in that case, to quote Flannery O’Connor, to hell with it. Pick your side, but spare me, and more particularly, spare Christ this “my truth your truth” pantheistic Oprah Winfrey slackjawed bullshit. Let the sifting of the wheat from the chaff commence. Ooh-rah.

Why does this matter? Because this satanic evil is what is being used to destroy civilization and humanity through the broad culture. We have been taught over the last 50 or so years that one of the worst cultural sins a person can commit is to ACTUALLY BELIEVE SOMETHING. What our culture says is, “Yeah, yeah, you can go to church and all that, but DON’T YOU DARE actually believe any of that shit.” I’m a great example of this. People see my videos and are REPULSED by the intensity of my delivery and by my “crazy eyes”. What the “crazy eyes” are is the physical manifestation of righteous anger rooted in a belief and recognition of objective truth, and the world’s ever-more severe incongruence with that objective truth. This culture has been so whipped by the satanic denial of objective truth, and the constant shaming and ridiculing of any belief in objective truth in the name of “tolerance” and “ecumenism”, that the mere sight of a person witnessing to the Truth without bracketing every sentence with an apology and qualifier is now repellant and rage-inducing to the average person.
 
Think about politicians. Obama, Clinton, the Kennedys, and most of the so-called “Republicans” too; these people pay LIP SERVICE to religious belief, but it is all done with a wink and a nod. “Yeah, we go to church once or twice a year, but we don’t actually BELIEVE any of that shit. You know how it is.” And sadly, it isn’t just the politicians anymore. That is the mindset of most people today. “Yeah, I’m Christian, but I don’t think Christianity is the only truth. It’s just MY TRUTH.”
 
Here is where this gets extremely problematic. If a culture subscribes to the “my truth your truth” line, then what inevitably happens is that the people who have the coercive power in a society begin to impose “their truth” upon everyone else. In other words, whoever has the guns and the power to imprison becomes “god” and sets the standard of “truth” in a society. We are watching this happen right now before our very eyes. The Obama regime is telling Catholics that they WILL provide contraceptives and abortions because these things are “rights” according to “their truth”. They are also telling Catholics that they WILL place adoptive children with homosexuals, and very soon they will also demand that Catholic priests marry homosexuals, because homosexuality is “normal” according to “their truth”, and they have the power to destroy people via the IRS and other governmental bureaucracies, so therefore “their truth” wins. They are telling the MF Global customers that the expectation of respect of property rights and the enforcement of contract law is unreasonable and that confiscation and theft of property by their cronies is now permitted according to “their truth”.
 
These psychopaths will go to any lengths, any extreme, to deny an external standard of truth, because as long as they can delude themselves and their followers into believing that lie, they set the rules, and the world and everything in it is theirs for the taking.
 
THIS is why Christ said that he would VOMIT the lukewarm out of His mouth, because the “my truth your truth” bullshit leads directly to hell, even though it promises to deliver a “tolerant, ecumenical utopia.” When a society falls to that evil philosophy and no one will stand and fight with “crazy eyes” for the Truth, then people will suffer and die by the millions. The ecumenical utopia you are waiting for can never and will never exist because, unlike you, the forces of evil actually believe in their satanic philosophy with a burning passion and thus will never, ever compromise or rest until they either fully infiltrate and take over or are utterly defeated. There is no third way.
 
Crazy eyes? You better know it. Hot, burning crazy.
 


And now, my own commentary...

Funny thing:  I've never, ever been in support of anyone compelling any religion to operate against their beliefs, unless it's along the lines of, "No, you can't cut that person's heart out, I don't care if you're an Aztec."  Not when I was an atheist, and not now that I'm a Christian.  I'm still about the separation of church and state--both ways--because I believe a theocracy makes a mockery of God's gift of free will.  Everybody get that?  OK.

Now, check out this statement:   "...and very soon they will also demand that Catholic priests marry homosexuals..."  Five years ago, I'd have rolled my eyes.  Two years ago, I'd have considered it possible, but unlikely. 

Today, I have no doubt at all that this is coming.  And the notion that this could--and may--become a reality, should frighten every American, whether you have faith or not.  Whether the state dictates policy to the church, or the other way around...no good can come of this.  We've seen the results throughout history.

Where is America going, and why are we in this handbasket?

(By the way:  If you think truth is subjective, try disbelieving gravity.  Let me know how that works out for ya.)
