Creationist uses Big Stick

[Mrs. Darth Vader]

A man stopped by our house. I thought it was going to be a pleasant tea social occasion but to my surprise he was loaded for bear. He came with light saber powered up. He came to debate creation verses evolution. He used the second law of thermodynamics to explain his case. He used his position in society and his out ranking me and by polite aggression won the debate by hardly allowing me a word in. He left feeling pumped and self assured. “I won. I decimated her.” he thought. But what he did not realize is he proved to me beyond all doubt that the church is about controlling people and crushing their enemies not about belief in a God or saving souls. When intimidation is employed as a tactic it is to serve one purpose and that is to put one in their place, to defend the status quo and the powers that meaning them.

There is a story leading up to this meeting. Not long ago I was talking to my warlord and in the discussion I admitted that this woman in the church had in great detail told me how and why the church is collapsing. She told me of the massive fighting and the general disorder of the present church. My warlord then went to church and told the top dogs of the church. Before this happened no one from the church ever bothered to look at me never mind talk to me. Now suddenly after my warlord reported this incident many Christians are talking to me with their guns blazing. I am public enemy number one to the church. This woman was not supposed to tell the enemy about any flaws in their ranks. It is interesting that instead of scolding the woman who rated to me they chose to attack me. I am a dead horse already long since defeated from a participatory society point of view. To kick an already dead horse is clear proof that they are only interested in power and control. In short this man overwhelmingly proved to me beyond all doubt that they are as atheist as I.

*hugs* I've had many bad experiences with the Church. There's a reason I stay far, far away from it.

I'm sorry it's coming to seek you out on your doorstep.

Thank you very much for your sympathy. I never expected a confrontation. I live in the house of my warlord so her friends come because they are her friends. She is a member of the church. There is over two thousand churches here. That is alot of churches for our population size. They are a large organization and I only an individual not exactly a fair fight. They have power and money.The funny thing is I would not have believed the woman who claimed the church to be in trouble of becoming yesterday's news had it not been for the the polite aggressive attack. Too bad I am not the leader of some powerful opposition party to the church because to know of a weakness is the time to attack with full force. The odd thing is I am a nobody at the bottom of society so it is strange they lashed out at me.

This reminds me of what happened when we first arrived in Iraq. Our troops had this group of terrorists surrounded and were waiting out a stand off when the Muslim group was seen beating up a three year old and throwing him down the stairs. At that point our troops had a strong reaction and promptly shot all in the building dead. Our troops could have been heavy handed but I understand why such a strong reaction because the three year old was not a fair fight. I consider myself like the three year old metaphorically because next to this very strong and powerful organization called the church, I being just one small individual it is not a fair fight.

I live in Florida. My town is one of the most powerful bastions of the religious right. It is like living in Germany in Munich during the Nazi reign. Even though the capital of Nazi Germany was Berlin, Munich was the ideological strong hold. The same is true for the town that I live in. So if there is trouble in "Munich" there is trouble else where in the church throughout America. Needless to say I feel alone as much as a Jewish person would feel in Nazi Germany.
