Used most effectively of late, right here in the good 'ol U.S. of A. We can all think of at least one example of each. <br /><br />Indeed, we are as susceptible to each as we allow, individually and collectively. Obama was appointed to us by God to illustrate our fragility, as well as the depths of the evil of the human heart that only He can fathom. Sad that there is so much confusion as to which 'he' is so bloody essential.Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-59979046451202631402014-08-07T00:38:24.551-04:002014-08-07T00:38:24.551-04:00Great pondering on Original Sin. I myself cannot ...Great pondering on Original Sin. I myself cannot help but view this great Culture War in which we are now embroiled, this conflict of visions, as an object lesson on man's Original Sin.<br /><br />On our side -- the preservationists, traditionalists, conservatives, whatever term you prefer -- is the view that Man is a fallen being, by his very nature stained with Original Sin, utterly hopeless without God's salvation. The best we can hope for on the earthly plane is to consciously reign in this sinful nature and mitigate it through justice and equal application of the Rule of Law.<br /><br />On the other side -- the Leftists -- is the view that Man is a perfectible being. With their enlightened ministration, and application of what they call "scientific socialism" this so-called sinfulness of Man can be rectified. They took up Nietzsche's rally of "God is dead", and have asserted themselves worthy of filling that vacant position. Modern history has shown that there is no limit to the number of eggs they're willing to break in pursuit of their utopian omelette.<br /><br />To harken back to the notion of Original Sin, this conflict of visions can be seen as one side cautioning to obey the commandment against partaking of the Fruit, and the other side scoffing at such petty superstition as it devours the Fruit. You can virtually see the serpent whispering into their ears.<br /><br />This conflict is as old as Mankind. It has been fought over and over again, with relative plateaus in between. It would seem we are right up against another round in this fight.

On the way home today I was thinking of how Obama and his merry band of academics seem to be goading Russia into a hot war while at the same time this administration's expert handling of the Middle East has set in motion a renewed Muslim caliphate. On top of this we have the building tensions and divisiveness here at home thanks to Dear Leader whose birthday we must all honor and praise. I have to say thank you low information voter. and thank you main stream media for aiding and abetting the community organizer along the way and for covering up his gaffes and horrendous actions. May God help us.Gromanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736363554830728055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-8919402143926909242014-08-06T11:28:05.116-04:002014-08-06T11:28:05.116-04:00Outstanding insight re Original Sin, Fran.
