The inspiring narrative of faith : the story of Israel


Now we know that the church is not the only body to be found on this planet who claims to have a god and doesn’t actually seem to have a god. There is another who has been in exile for even longer than the church. If someone were to ask Israel, ‘oh, Israel, where is your god?’ I would like to propose that Israel give the following answer. ‘Our god is off visiting other planets, encouraging rapists and baby killers.’ Yes, there are people on other planets that need to be stoned to death or burned at the stake, and there are genocides to commit and land to grab on other planets I am sure. After all is not the Torah, that sacred ‘law of a god’ just as valid on one planet as another.

And it is big universe. That project would take some time. Perhaps this god will return soon, having finished that important task and blessed the universe with glory and wisdom. Or then again, perhaps not, in which case Israel had better invest in F-15 fighters and tanks. Lots of tanks and machine guns. As Israel, or what is left of her today, understands so very well, you just cannot rely on a god for much of anything.

When a god cannot even save the victims of massacre we have to wonder how much use such a god would be when it comes to healing the foundering marriage of Tom and Mary. Or perhaps gods are talented in one area and less so in another. I wouldn’t know. Someone should ask a church. They seem to know everything. Perhaps they can explain the divine mysteries of this god. (As the thoughtful evangelical is heard to enquire, ‘why do bad things happen to good people?’ Perhaps this god is just a cruel bastard and thus prefers to give us religion rather than salvation, dogma rather than the comforts of the living presence of God. Or then again perhaps we should define our terms. Just what does the term ‘good people’ refer to. Once the term ‘good people’ has been carefully defined then perhaps the thoughtful evangelical can then move on to solving the divine mystery of why bad things happen to them all the time, non stop, without mercy, without pity, with only the morphine of religion to numb the pain of those who have no qualms about becoming addicted to dope.)

Now there are perfectly good reason why Israel would find herself divorced and then sent packing to increase the faith of the world by spending a few thousand years running from here enemies, only to greatly increase our faith by bowing her neck and submitting to slaughter at the end of it all.

Yes, there is truly nothing quite as inspiring as a really good narrative of faith. Truly Israel has brought glory to God so that the name of God is greatly esteemed everywhere on the planet right to this very day.

As her prophets said of Israel and her god glorifying Torah…

“Burn your whole offerings and eat the flesh yourselves, for on the day I brought your ancestors out of Egypt I gave them no instructions or commands concerning whole offerings and sacrifices. But they did not listen. They paid no heed, and proceeded ahead with their own plans with the most stubbornly wicked and evil hearts. Now truth has perished from their lips and it is no longer heard in the land….They built the high places of Topheth in the valley of Ben Hinnom at which to burn at the stake. That was no command of mine nor did it ever even enter into my mind that they would do such a detestable thing…Why are these people so intractably stubborn. They persistently backslide and they refuse to return. The stork in the heavens knows the time to migrate, but now my people do not know the requirements of God. How can you say, ‘we are wise, for we have the Torah, when actually the lying pen of your scribes has made it into a lie?’ Their leaders are dismayed, for they have been trapped and snared, but they rejected the Word of YAHWEH, so what kind of wisdom did they have? Priests and prophets are all frauds. Even in God’s house I have seen all their wickedness. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for they have practiced abominations, but they don’t even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall with a great crash on the day of YAHWEH’s reckoning. They shall be overthrown. Everyone is obsessed with ill gotten gain, and so I will give your homes to new owners and your wives to other men. When I would gather them, says YAHWEH, there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree; even the leaves are withered, and what I gave them has passed away from them." And so Israel said, ‘Why do we sit still? Gather together, let us go into the fortified cities and perish there; for YAHWEH our God has doomed us to perish, and has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against YAHWEH. We looked for peace, but no good came, for a time of healing, but behold, terror.’
(Jeremiah’s condemnation of the Torah, from the 7th and 8th chapters)

I will judge you as a harlot who sheds blood is judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy. And I will give you into the hand of your lovers, and they shall throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your lofty places; they shall strip you of your clothes and take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare. They shall bring up a host against you, and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. And they shall burn your houses and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women; I will make you stop playing the harlot, and you shall also give hire no more. So will I satisfy my fury on you, and my jealousy shall depart from you; I will be calm, and will no more be angry. Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged me with all these things; therefore, behold, I will requite your deeds upon your head, says YAHWEH GOD. Have you not committed lewdness in addition to all your abominations?
(Ezekiel, the 16th chapter)

The argument I put forth here is not a brand new novelty for it is the ancient argument of the prophets of YAHWEH, you know the bit about how unfallible and very very errant is the Bible, and how blasphemy such as that gets a people doomed for eons by YAHWEH. Apparently dooming them for a week or perhaps a decade would never do the trick when it is religion that is the problem, and so therefore they must be doomed for eons of time. Even eons of time is not long enough, because as I have discovered during my time with that church, they still are not interested in listening to the message of a prophet of YAHWEH. They are to faithful to ‘a god’s word’ (as they call it) and when a people are as holy and as loyal as this one, well naturally they don’t listen to a prophet of YAHWEH, dead or alive. The Bible is infallible, except for the prophets of YAHWEH, who were not. Or so it would seem. Therein lies an interesting contradiction. Apparently ‘infallible’ and ‘inerrant’ are flexible terms and only apply to whatever they want to declare infallible, and position, such as ‘in the bible’, really doesn’t have a lot to do with it. This makes me wonder why, if we are to pick and choose, we would choose massacre and torture and murder and ridiculous animal slaughter rituals, when there are better options available.

Now there are those egalitarian sorts with the very ecumenical spirit who will say that we have priests and we have ministers, and yes, they even have prophets I am told, and so what therefore is a ‘prophet of YAHWEH’ as compared to all these. My answer would be that while it is true that you can listen to a priest or not listen to a priest, or you can listen to a prophet of YAHWEH or not listen to the prophet of YAHWEH, as it pleases you to do so, it turns out that those two things are not equivalent, one much like the other, for when you do not listen to a prophet of YAHWEH then you wind up in the same spot as your ancestors found themselves in…condemned and punished by YAHWEH.

Lest anyone become confused on this point and assume that I am making an authoritarian argument, let me make the point clear by reminding you that there is really nothing ‘divine’ about the so called ‘revelation’ brought by those prophets of YAHWEH. It is just simple common sense. As one of those prophets wrote,

I do not require animal sacrifices from your herds, for all the animals in the forest are mine. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats>


This was just simple common sense, but it turns out that people needed religion since they refused to do what was right, and therefore since nature abhors a vacuum, their priests came up with that hobby to keep everyone busy, and so we found them butchering animals in sacrificial rituals, so that they would have something to do.

Yes the message of those prophets of YAHWEH was just simple common sense, and no ‘divine revelation’ was required to speak some common sense to those people, and so you see, from the point of view of YAHWEH, when a people have such stubbornly evil hearts that they reject what is just simple common sense, that is an act of evil in the sight of YAHWEH that deserves as its punishment perhaps a few thousand years mercilessly locked up in the blackness of the pit. As I was saying, a few hundred years would not be long enough, for this is religion we are talking about here, and never are people so stubborn as they are so stubborn about religion. God could tell them to ‘drop dead’ and then never speak to them for a few thousand years, and they would hire theologians to dress that up so that dropping dead became the plan of salvation and not being spoken to only added to the beautiful mystery of the gods.

So then your priest can preach religion to you, and tutor you on the supposed mysteries of divine wisdom and the secret things, as the custom of some priest, and you can then make your choice and listen to that priest, and bring the wrath of YAHWEH down upon your head, or you can put an end to your rebellion and listen to a prophet of YAHWEH and show some simple common sense, and escape God’s wrath. Should you choose the former you will get exactly what you deserve for having done so and should you choose the latter you will also receive from the hand of YAHWEH what you deserve for choosing the latter. If you attempt to excuse yourself by saying, ‘but who can know YAHWEH,’ and then you choose the wrong option you will then bring down the wrath of YAHWEH on your head, the only difference here being that you will be caught by surprise on a day of sudden terror that you never expected to come. Being completely godless will not suffice as an excuse for you, for you rejected simple common sense, and then thought to yourself, ‘no god will catch me…surely god does nothing neither good or evil…that prophet of YAHWEH is just some wind bag and the word will not be found in him.’

Principles of Evolution: A Study in the Evolution of Bedbugs


A couple of years ago my bedroom was invaded by bedbugs. There were two variant genetic lines. One type of bedbug was an enlongated, thin, tubular insect, and the second genetic line was a flat, perfectly circular insect. The result of the cross breeding of these two genetically distinct variants was the production of a bedbug with charcteristics of both, an enlongated, flat bedbug with a central bulge (such that the shape of the bedbug was somewhere between 'long' and 'circular'). The long skinny bedbugs were such strange and unfamiliar looking insects that at first I did not recognize them as being bedbugs, and considered them to be a seperate species of insect. However, as the photographs of bedbugs above indicate, enlongated and skinny bedbugs are not uncommon, and the photographs also show the variants that are produced by genetic combinations that result in an insect somewhere in between 'circular' and 'enlongated'.

Therefore it is my hypothesis that evolution occurs by means of the transfer of dominate genes, with the production of such dominant genes being the product of 'biological algorithms', a genetic software program that brings physical characteristics into harmony with behavior, such that when behavior changes, and a conflict then exists, this acts as a trigger and causes the release of dominant genes. The result is rapid evolution of species. The bedbug is a relatively new insect, not the product of millions of years of evolution but rather an insect that is evolving in real time. The newly emerging dominant form of the insect is the flat, round ciruclar insect, well adapted to living in human bedrooms (it is flat, rather than tubular, thus allowing it to hide in the smallest cracks, living a stealthy lifestyle, and it is round, which gives the insect a maximum storage capacity such that it must endanger itself only a few times a month by emerging to feed.

Other examples of rapid evolution include the development of long legs in an invasive species of toad in Australia. As the toads move into the mountainous regions of Australia, and their behvaior changes, making them 'climbing toads', over the course of just a couple of decades the toads in the highlands have grown long legs specially adapted to climbing. It is worth noting here that the toads are poisonous, and are a successful invasive species because they have no natural predators in Australia, and so it would not be the case that the toads with long legs were 'the fittest survivors', because all the toads are survivors, and therefore predation does not explain the rapid emergence and spread of such well adapted, long legged toads. Once again we see evidence for the existence of biological algorithms and the rapid spread of dominant genes through a population, which once introduced proceed to overwhelm the older genes which are being replaced (making toad long legged and a bed bug round and flat).


A Theological Experiment

My interest in pursuing the Unified Field Theory is spurred on by my need to discover the theoretical explanation of a new form of propulsion (as explained on this page: Why the Unified Field Theory?). The experiment involving the bedbugs came out of nowhere.

I also believe that it is possible to justify theological propositions using experimental methods. If a thing is an objective truth then it can be verified and proven true by means of experimentation. Such a theological proposition is of more value than a ‘divine revelation’, since such revelations depend upon nothing more than establishing authority figures which requires the creation of artificial hierarchies, for the only reason why I might be encouraged to believe an authority figure who orders me to believe unsubstantiated opinions is if I could somehow be convinced that this authority possessed a mind that was somehow superior to mine, and thus was fit to express opinions as though opinions were unquestionable facts and thus worthy of being elevated to the status of absolute dogma.

There is a self evident human inequality which is visibly apparent. Some people are ‘beautiful’ and thus are the true elite on this planet, and some people are not. It is this sexual inequality and the degeneration that follows upon beauty that is the true driving force behind all the evil that happens on earth. The need for ruthless oppression and the pursuit of wealth and the consequent creation of suffering and poverty which must follow upon this practice is for the purpose of creating an artificial alpha elite.

The true elites are the young and the beautiful. The artificial elite are the rich and the wealthy. The elite aging rich artificial alpha male has no good looks, for he is physically degenerate, but he will be found escorting beauty because he has a beautiful wallet. If he loses his wallet he will be found at home with all the other unattractive aged beta males sitting in a rocking chair watching reruns of Bonanza. No money, no sex. It is for this reason that the alpha males are found to be so ruthless and so violent in pursuit of their goal. The alpha male has fallen. The beta male has arisen and now the whole planet is full of ruinous destruction for it.

We see in religion a confused and contradictory reaction to this reality. On the one hand religion preaches a sexless heaven where castration and the clitorectomy create ‘pure spirits’. Muslims throw women under sacks. On the other hand religion supports hierarchy and is the prop of the elite alpha male. It is for this reason that religion is incoherent when it comes to speaking about sex.

Now we see this same principle at work in all of nature. Guppies dance and show off their colorful tails and the guppy who dances with the most colorful tail is the sexually successful guppy. Therefore it is the doctrine of the ruthless oppressor which teaches that the solution to human sexual violence is to be found in castration and the creation of pure ghosts. This would be equivalent to damning an aardvark for having the ‘sinful aardvark nature’ or prosecuting an anteater for the high crime of ‘ant genocide’.

Therefore it was my theological hypothesis that the correct solution to this problem is to give every guppy a beautiful colorful tail. I compare this solution to the classic religious solution which is to cut off every tail since having a tail is ‘sinful’. If having a tail is sinful then God must be sinful for no human being has any choice in deciding whether or not they would be born with a colorful tail, or whether they would not.

When I was young I was a beautiful guppy with a lovely tail. So everyone seemed to think. I am older now. My nose became very badly sunburned and destroyed. It seemed good to me to test my hypothesis by using these ‘biological algorithms’ to correct this problem. I healed half my nose as you can see by the line separating the still very dark patch on the side in the photograph below.





I documented my experiment on these pages. one two t hree four fi ve six


I have confirmed to my own satisfaction that my theological proposition is correct and that religious dogma is erroneous, being based as it was upon nothing more than ‘divine revelation’ which is just a form of opinionated speculation. For the time being I am not continuing this experiment, for I must wait until the weather on this planet improves, and the dark clouds of ruthless oppression break letting a little sun shine come through so that I can show the world the truth about God, by showing people how God goes about giving an old guppy back his beautiful colorful tail.


Until then I will have to sit on the sidelines, while all my scientific breakthroughs are deliberately ignored, while I wonder to myself what ever in the world could be wrong with the human race, because what this all will prove at the end of it all is that there definitely was something wrong with the people on this planet.
