Slut-Shaming preacher

A response to the Slut-Shaming preacher video:  http://m.vice.com/vice-profiles/slut-shaming-preacher 

So – the video essentially starts off with the guy wearing a T-Shirt saying “You whore” and showing a woman stating how rude that is. He states his intent to show people they should change. She asks “Why am I a whore?” He didn't say that she was, but because the shirt was pointing at her with the “you whore” - she took it to mean her. The question for her, is why did she get so defensive at the shirt?

Essentially – my question is, how different is this then the person who first wore the “I'm with stupid” t-shirt? Essentially nothing different then the wording. The people who generally get offended by these types of things – are people who feel convicted of this.

Now – this guys goal is to preach against the sin of “immodesty”. Anything wrong with this? No – especially when there's all this hype lately about rapists, etc.

So, essentially we next see him preaching on a street corner saying “Give up your immodest clothing”.

Next we see a commentary of someone named Jessica Rech – essentially she says she doesn't know if brother Dean Saxton has relationships with women or not, but adds that she's not sure how or why some women agree with his view point.

Next Nissi Powell explains it well – he preaches to try and get a reaction out of people and hopes to convert people in the process. She adds that if his goal is to convert people, then he's doing a horrible job.

Then we see him going on a tangent on “you deserve rape”. Now – from a human rights perspective, I'd have to say quite the opposite you don't deserve rape. My problem is – I'm not 100% in favour of human rights. I agree with them to a point, but in my book they even go against the teachings of the Bible.

Am I saying one deserves rape? No – what I'm going to say is much worse. Because of our sin – we are deserving of every horrible possible thing imaginable to happen to us. Now – as bad as that sounds, I have a hope in something far greater. I believe that 2000 years ago a man known as the Son of God, the Messiah, the Christ, Jesus – died on the cross for my sins so that I don't deserve any of those things. It has nothing to do with what I've done – it's all about what Jesus did.

So – he's preaching “you deserve rape”. Well that is kind of harsh. Let me put it this way.

Jesus taught this:

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.  

Really? If a man looks at a woman to lust after – he's committed already. Now, knowing this women go and dress in such provocative ways that may lead men to lust after a woman – and therefore has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Ladies – as harsh as this is going to get. You dress in that sexy outfit the guy looks at you in that way. You smile – well guess what. You just fucked the guy in your heart.

So – why would one be deserving of rape if they're dressed in a provocative way?

Again – Jesus said some harsh things:

Luke 17:1-2 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!   2  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Essentially – as harsh as it gets, woe unto the person who causes one to sin. If you know that guys ogle you when you're wearing that skimpy dress or that really low cut shirt, or that mini dress – based on what Jesus taught woe unto you.

As harsh as that may seem – you can have hope. Jesus died on the cross for you, so that you wouldn't be deserving of anything bad to happen to you.

If there's one thing I have learned recently – if something bad does happen to you even if you are a believer – know that someone greater is coming because God allowed that to happen to you, so that he could show you his glory.

Anyways – I shall continue on....

Now – I have an issue when he says “Most of your dads, are ashamed of you”. Is this true? Is your dad ashamed of you? Or does your dad even know all the things you've done? The truth is – as it is in a lot of scenarios in this generation – one of the parents isn't in the picture for the most part and your dad may not even know what you're doing – and furthermore may not have seen you in a long time. Although I may agree if the person's dad is in the picture that your dad may be ashamed of what you're doing – in most scenarios, I blame the fathers for not having done their job as a father.

Now – just because a father hasn't done his job – doesn't mean that what happens in today's world is right. We should teach the older generation where they fell short – and not teach them in speaking – teach them with our actions. You'd be surprised at what they'd say and probably see how much more proud they are of you.

I say that because – after Jesus was baptized – the heavens opened and God said “This is my Son – in whom I am well pleased” - and this was Jesus doing this of His own free will – without his Father always be present and having to tell him what to do every step of the way.

Continuing on.....

It then shows a woman saying to him “I once heard you say that woman shouldn't be allowed on campus and they should be essentially in the kitchen.”

Now in an off scene thing it shows him refer to Ephesians 5:22 “Wives submit unto your husbands.” Now – for that I wrote a whole other blog that I won't re-write here, but you can check it out here:

http://worldthatlacksgod.blogspot.ca/2013/11/the-partnership-that-is-called-marriage.html

Next it shows Jessica saying “you know – if he really wanted to bring people into christianity, he'd be better off to hold up a sign and that says – Have questions about Christianity? And be there with a guitar playing songs”

Oh – how people outside of a belief system are blind to people from within the belief system. The other day I walked outside of a big shopping mall and saw some Jehovah's witnesses standing there with all their books and a sign that said “what the Bible really teaches” - I stood there waiting for the bus for about 10-15 minutes and in that time not one single person asked them anything or approached them.

Christians never stayed silent since the beginning of Christianity. Peter and John taught all over. Paul went to Rome and taught in the Roman temples. Peter, John and Paul did that to the point that people wanted to kill them. Paul eventually was and Peter was crucified upside down.

Let's hold up a sign she says. How many people were killed for holding up a sign for a belief system?

Is he right when he says - The people on this campus need a double dose of the Word of God??? Well that may be an understatement. They may need a triple dose or more. I'd like someone reading this who isn't a practicing Christian to give a few verses from the Bible. Could be anywhere and tell me what it teaches based on those few verses.

I probably have 5-7 sermons I can deliver right now based on a few verses I know off the top of my head, and I'm only asking you for one.

When he continues on – he starts to open up how he is probably one of the most hated people in the city. I'll tell you right now who hates him. The people who are guilty of all the “sins” he talks about.

As much as Jesus taught about love – it wasn't the people who loved him who Crucified Him. It wasn't the Romans who Crucified him. It was the Jewish Leaders who were guilty of all the things Jesus called out on. Just go read Matthew 23 and see why they wanted to kill him. Again – for those who say Jesus didn't judge – I dare you to go read Matthew 23. Beautiful Chapter, you'll love it!

It then shows the guy talking to some people on the corner – and they tell Dean to get a real hobby. Dean is genuine in his response, asks the guy for some of his hobbies, and this leads to the one guy saying “Not being a fucking asshole”.

Who's the bad guy here?

- The lady in the red hat

It gets good when this one lady wearing a red ball cap starts saying that he's like hatred and God doesn't hate on anybody? Oh really? I'd like to know what verses of the Bible she's read and ignored to understand that God doesn't hate.

Perspective time:

If God loves life, then God would hate death, right?

If God loves purity, then God would hate impurity, right?

If God loves faithful people, then God would hate unfaithful people, right?

I love the people(note the sarcasm) who don't have a relationship of any sort with their “God”, who don't read the Bible, etc. - yet these same people can tell me that they know more about my God then they do. Interesting.... That's like saying to Rocket Designer that he doesn't know what he's doing and you don't have the slightest bit of knowledge about rocket design – yet you're going to tell the Rocket Designer that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Really? Really?! Think about this for a moment.

Anyways – this same lady in the red hat says it's interesting how he says he hates everyone. Really people – don't put words in someone else's mouth. He said they were going to hell. Now – the term Hell shows up in most places in the Bible as two original language words. In Hebrew the word is Sheol, and in Greek the word is Hades. Both these words mean Grave. When someone dies they are going to Sheol or Hades and this means they are going to the grave. WOW! Isn't this what atheists have said for years? Nothing new here – but again people would rather listen to that priest on Sunday than read what their bible actually has to teach them.

She then says that God doesn't judge. Really? I think she should go read the Old Testament – or again go read Matthew 23 – because God Judges a lot. In my mind she's an ignorant lady who needs to get a double dose of the word of God – and well a few prayers would also help.

Then she has the nerve to say “maybe you should get your dick sucked” - amazing how he wasn't doing anything wrong yet she has to go and say those things. Some ignorant people don't know how they prove the Bible true all the time. The Bible teaches people are evil and wicked. What did she say to him again?

What are my thoughts on this guy?

He has some points I agree with 100% - but at the same time – I have my differences.

Depending on comments - I may perhaps right another message.

MLKJ - I have a dream... Part II

I have a dream....

Oh – how many people have dreams, or ideas of what the future may look like – or more so how the future should look for the better of everyone.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." - Martin Luther King Jr.

What a great dream! A dream where everyone would truly be considered equal.

You know – I would say that Jesus himself had a dream for us. One that would have shown as equals – but in a far much more beautiful way than just that.

MLKJ – is one who really held values in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. What's interesting is people look up to MLKJ as a Civil Rights Activist. People also tend to look up to Mahatma Gandhi in a way where he sought peace.

What's interesting – is although Gandhi may not have been a Christian – you will find one notable piece of information about Gandhi. At a certain point in his life – Gandhi, started to read the Sermon on the Mount, and not just once, but read the Sermon on the Mount every single day!

Before I continue – I highly recommend reading the Sermon on the Mount – found in Matthew Chapters 5 – 7 – or you can perhaps watch the video here(ignore the time – but the passage is 25 minutes long):

Interesting facts now, don't you think? MLKJ held to Christians values most specifically the Sermon on the Mount values – and Gandhi truly thought that the Christians he didn't like should be more like their Jesus, in the way described in the Sermon on the Mount.

Fascinating stuff I say! I also say this because both of these people were Civil Rights Activists and people would listen to both of these people. Were they dreaming up some new idea and/or concept? Absolutely not!

This was an idea and concept that Jesus taught about 2000 years ago. A concept of love your enemy, love your neighbour as yourself, and most notably, when people talk about freedoms – they will point to people like MLKJ, Gandhi, and others – but rarely do people point to the Great Teacher of this – who is Jesus.

What's interesting is Jesus himself said:
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 

I'm not saying Jesus taught Gandhi nor did He teach MLKJ – but I can tell you one thing, the things that Jesus said, or the things that Jesus did obviously had an effect on these people and on many others.

The Sermon on the Mount – Love, Hope, Peace. Yes there are harsh words in there – but those harsh words are to demonstrate if we actually do love ourselves, but also that we love our neighbours as ourselves.

I would say – the best outlook on Hope in that Sermon on the Mount comes in the Beatitudes.

Blessed are the poor in Spirit

Blessed are they that mourn

Blessed are the meek

Blessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness

Blessed are the merciful

Blessed are the pure in heart

Blessed are the peacemakers

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake

It's clear here – Jesus was addressing different groups of people – but at the same time the same people. He's showing his Love and compassion – awareness that people are going through tough times. The thing is – it doesn't just end with who he's addressing – it continues with what the blessing shall be.

What's interesting though – is it doesn't stop there. He continues after the Beatitudes to state that “You are the salt of the Earth” - so just because you are merciful 100% of the time, doesn't mean you can be trampled on. You can address how you feel and still be merciful and pure in heart, etc.

MLKJ – in his I have a dream speech did things quite similar.

I have a dream....INPUTS IDEA/DREAM HERE.....SAYS what we need to do to reach that idea/dream.

As said before – giving a person Hope is a powerful thing. Take it away from people and usually they don't want to listen to you. Take hope away from people, and they'll walk away.

Hope isn't just something that Religious people need. Hope is something that all people need. Jesus knew that. MLKJ taught in that way, and how many others provide that same type of delivery.

If you want to be like someone – study what they did; study what they studied; study what their teachers taught.

If I want to be like Jesus – I should very much look at the Bible for this. All the information I can get is from there. I may get some insight from outside the Bible – but it's important to study even those details, as some details may contradict what Jesus said.

If I want to be like Jesus – I have to believe and agree that it's ok for a man to cry. Did you know the shortest verse in the Bible is: “Jesus wept.”?

If I want to be like MLKJ – I need to learn where he got his ideas from for “I have a dream”.

MLKJ - I have a Dream - Part I

I have a dream....

A well known phrase that people have learned from the famous speech of Martin Luther King Jr.(MLKJ)

What I will say about MLKJ is probably nothing new to you – but perhaps there will be things here that you will come to learn or come to see that's different from what you once thought.

MLKJ will probably be most remembered by Americans as Civil Rights activist – but we can't just stop there.

What allowed him to rise up and be heard? What allowed him to rise up and be listened to? What allowed his words to still be known to us even today.

If someone were to start talking to you and perhaps say “I have a dream” - you're probably already thinking about that speech. Where did these words or even concepts come from?

MLKJ – was not only a Civil Rights activist, but was also a pastor in a Baptist Church. Now – please don't get this Baptist church confused with the Westoboro Baptists – as they are totally different and nothing alike.

You see – I'll be honest, but as a Christian, I can understand a person's view or understanding as a Christian. Here's what I will say – if someone has decided to become a Pastor in a church – this isn't a simple decision. This is a devotion, a dedication, and would have taken something to have changed them forever.

Now from a Christian perspective – ask any Christian really. Once a person reads the Bible – they will not be the same, ever. Even if the person disagrees with it – there will be perhaps one thing that will influence them and that one thing has just changed their life, forever!

What I would really take from the Bible is something as simple as this:

Matthew 7:28-29 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:  29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

These are the final 2 verses from the Best Sermon ever delivered – the sermon famously known as: The Sermon on the Mount(found in Matthew Chapters 5-7).

I myself asked the question – how did Jesus get such authority? Why were people so amazed at His doctrine/teaching? How?

From a Christian point of view – I'd simply say, read the Bible, and not even the entire Bible – read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John a few times and you'll start to see why.

Now – if MLKJ was a pastor, a man teaching the Word of God – he would've had to have read this once or twice – or so you'd think at least.

Wikipedia has it documented currently as follows:

King's faith was strongly based in Jesus' commandment of  loving your neighbor as yourself, loving God above all, and loving your enemies, praying for them and blessing them. His non-violent thought was also based in the injuction to turn the other cheek in the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus' teaching of putting the sword back into its place (Matthew 26:52).

Love your neighbour as yourself, love your enemies, pray for your enemies and bless your enemies.

Now – I don't know about you, but if you love your enemy, would your enemy not listen to you? What I find interesting about this though is Jesus had an authority. People listened to him. He was able to gather 5000 men on one occasion and 4000 men on another occasion.

What did Jesus do to be able to gather so many people together?

I'd say there are a few things: His message was one of hope; one of love; and one eliminating violence and implementing Peace.

What did MLKJ talk about? Hope(I have a dream); love(the message is all out of love); and one eliminating violence and implementing peace(We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal).

Now – the difference between MLKJ and a majority of politicians is simple: A politician may deliver a message of Hope, Love and eliminate violence – but how often does the politician hold to that view? How often does the politician change?

The politician's view changes after their message because there are so many influences, and they want to please everyone so that they will get elected/re-elected.

Who did Jesus seek to please? God himself. Who did MLKJ seek to please in these speeches? Nobody else other than Jesus.

If you can hold down to these simple values – don't try to please the world because in the process you will end up losing yourself(paraphrased from Matthew 16:26)

MLKJ, imo raised up an army. An army that's ongoing even today. An army that is being transformed over and over – and one day, this army will free us.....

I have a dream.....

Doctor Who - Part IV

You know......I've said it before – and I'll say it again – I enjoy Doctor Who, and I enjoy re-watching episodes seeing the Doctor travel across space and time helping people.

Before I continue – I must give the usual quote from River Song: “Spoilers!” - as if you haven't watched the episode and are planning to – some of these things are spoilers.

Now – to somewhat understand this – I'd recommend watching the clip below – or if you don't feel like watching the clip – then just read the quote underneath the clip:

“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.” - The Doctor

So – people may not understand this – but essentially to give a quick example – imagine being able to travel in time – and you go say 7 days in the future – when you get there, you meet up a friend who said something about something you did 2 days ago – you'd literally have no idea what they're talking about because you didn't experience that event yet – you skipped ahead in time and need to go back where you should be and relive out those 7 days.

So – the point in this BLOG is not to explain the concept of Time Travel – nor is it to say if it's real or not. I'm hear to do a comparison of two different events and show how they can relate to one another.

In Season/Series 4 of Doctor Who, there's an episode titled: The Fires of Pompeii.

Now – Pompeii is a historic event that we know to be true. So – the Doctor and his companion Donna, travel back in history to Ancient Rome – to find themselves in Pompeii on Volcano day. The Doctor goes about doing his normal stuff, essentially stating to Donna they had to leave. She asked if they could stop the event from happening and save all those people. The Doctor then explains something to Donna: Pompeii – Volcano Day is a fixed point in time, he cannot stop it from happening, and has to let it happen.

On their way back to the TARDIS(his spaceship/Time Machine) they find out it's been misplaced. A merchant sold it to someone – and now they have to go about finding it.

Allons-y then!

They go to find the TARDIS – and come into a Roman's family's home. While in the home the Doctor and Donna talk for a few moments when the Doctor finds something seems odd/wrong. So after finding out a few things – The Doctor discovers that there are aliens underneath Mount Vesuvius. These aliens – are planning to take over the entire world and essentially kill all humans.

Now – the big decision comes about. The Doctor can leave let the aliens do as they please and destroy the World – or the Doctor can kill the alien threat by causing Mount Vesuvius to erupt.

The Doctor can kill the lives of the ~20,000 people or he can walk away and know that this would mean the end of Human life as we know it.

A fixed point in time.  Need I say what he did?

Talk about a judgement that had to be made.

Now, what I find interesting about this – here comes the comparison – is there are a lot of people who doubt the Holiness, Sovereignty, or the Love of the God of the Bible. Yes you can clearly see it in the New Testament – although you can see Judgement in Revelation also – but that's another blog topic in itself. The thing is what most people focus on in the Old Testament is how God killed so many people.

You have the Hebrews who disobeyed God by building the Golden calf, you have the Egyptians who wouldn't let the Hebrews go, you have the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and so much more...

We're so quick to judge this God – without understanding the why. If we understood the why, we'd perhaps be ok with it. You think?

Doctor Who, killed 20,000 people; killed the Daleks; killed the Time Lords(or did he); and the list goes on and on and on. Yet people still love him.

Why? Because you see a judgement need to be made poured out on those people for the sake of everyone else.

Yes – I may be adding stuff that's not in the Bible itself, but what if the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah never happened? Would we still be here today? Was there a purpose for this destruction?

The Bible says the people in Sodom and Gomorrah were pure evil. Would this eventually have led to the end of the Human race? Perhaps? These details we don't have. We cannot change the past – all I can tell you is that, Sodom and Gomorrah was a fixed point in time.

Isaiah 40:28 And now, have you not known? Have you not heard? The eternal God, the God that formed the ends of the earth, shall not hunger, nor be weary, and there is no searching of His understanding.

You know – I don't know why God killed all those people with those events: the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.

All I can say is this: You can't love a God who would do that – and don't know why he did those things, yet you can love a Doctor guilty of the same acts because you know why he did it?  Has it ever crossed your mind that perhaps those events happened in history for your best interest?

Doctor Who Part III

You know what?!

Can I just say for a moment that I love the Science Fiction TV Show Doctor Who?!

It's crazy how the show can really portray things that are a reality in your life.

• SPOILERS -

So – I was watching the episode titled “Daleks in Manhattan” - and there was one very powerful line that was said – and even before the guy said it – I was already thinking it.

Solomon asks the Doctor why people can build the Empire State Building, which will be the tallest building in the world when completed, when there is a Hooverville in midtown Manhattan.

Yes – how was it possible that someone or some people had enough money to build a huge building during the Great Depression. Good question indeed. Have you ever thought to ask yourself this question?

It's obvious – someone was keep money for themselves – but perhaps there was a further agenda that wasn't shared with people – other than a select few.

This – is where we actually move to a previous episode – titled “Gridlock” .

In “Gridlock” – it would seem to be that this is where it's explained to an extent.

Here we have the Doctor going to visit a planet in the future that Human beings will move to once our earth is no longer inhabitable. On this new planet called “New Earth” - yes there is a New York City – it's actually called New New York – and there's all of that. So – people drive there cars on the “motorway” which is actually an underground tunnel. The issue is this tunnel isn't moving.

Well – rather vehicles aren't moving on this motorway. People had been travelling on the motorway for over 20 years – some of their children were born on the motorway.

The Doctor comes along and starts asking a few critical questions – like “in all your years in the motorway have you ever seen a police car? Ambulance? Any form of Emergency Vehicle?”

This upset the people – as the answer was obviously a no – but they never questioned further than that. This was upsetting to them because they wasted their lives on a motorway and there was no way out of the motorway – don't ask me how, but there were on ramps, but never an off-ramp as they were closed.

This obviously caused the motorway to fill with gas fumes and was actually feeding an alien beast below.

Nobody bothered to ask questions – just that there was a rumour that you never wanted to go on the “Fast lanes” as people never made it alive. You were safer in the slow lanes and that meant travelling 5 miles in 12 years or something like that.

A system that wasn't working – yet nobody sought an answer. People were able to communicate to one another – but again, nobody ever wondered where the traffic jam was starting or if people were getting out of the motorway – apparently there was an accident that caused the hold up – apparently there was going to be a 6 line expansion – things that were never happening and people never bothered to question.

So – it takes an outsider – The Doctor comes along, and starts asking questions – and opens up the Motorway roofing system to allow people to get out of the Motorway and to safety.

The Doctor frees the people from their slavery of what the Government once put in place. The Doctor set the people free and be able to move on and about their life.

An outsider did this. An outsider set people free. The Government did not. Does this sound familiar?

Does this correlate to the Daleks in Manhattan? Obviously there's something going on – the problem is people never ask questions, and when they do it's deemed “too sensitive for the public to be aware” or it's protected for a reason of “National Security”. People then accept that answer and never know what's going on.

This – is probably the big reason why the Empire State building was built in the middle of the Great Depression – yet people don't ask questions. It's deemed acceptable – yet we often complain about how we struggle in this life.

The questions then start by asking this question? Why are you struggling?

Do you have to pay bills?

Do you have to pay taxes?

Do you have to pay rent?

Do you have to pay for all this stuff?
Do you have to go to school to get a job?

Do you have to go to University to get a good paying job?

Interesting eh? Who implemented a lot of these things?

Now – who do we need to resolve them? I don't think we need an outsider. The reason for this is because the Doctor always takes with him a Companion. The interesting thing is a large majority of the Doctor's companions are human. All I'm saying here is we just need an outsider influence – but WE ourselves are able to resolve this problem.

The interesting part of “Gridlock” - is that the Government and Senate room – was just a room of dead dry bones. The government had long been dead.

V for Vendetta....

Recently – I just re-watched the movie 'V for Vendetta' – and truly it's amazing how if you go back and watch it you see how it relates that much more to our current world and the way the World Order is run.

There are several quotes throughout the movie I just find amazing – and I'm sure there are many people who either miss it – or don't catch the reference.

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

- V

This quote is probably one of the most famous and most popular. Now this isn't where it ends – but this is simply an introduction to how it all ties in.

I say this – because it seems that many people are afraid of their government. What if I were to tell you that your Government has access to healthier ways of life – healthier ways of living and either doesn't pay for it – or pays less for those things than what you may for in these GMO products? Let's look at a brief discussion from the movie:

Evey Hammond: [takes a bite of the breakfast V cooked] It's delicious! God, I haven't had real butter since I was a little girl! Where did you get it?

V: A government supply train on its way to Chancellor Sutler.

Evey Hammond: You stole this from Chancellor Sutler?

V: Yes.

Evey Hammond: You're insane!

Amazing – that Evey would say to someone they're insane for stealing real butter from the Chancellor yet why does the Chancellor have the right to these products when the rest of the world does not?

Yes – a chancellor may be your master – but Jesus described just how a master should be. Jesus described how the greatest among us all should be.

Matthew 23:10-12 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.   11  But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.   12  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Essentially – the greatest among you, shall be your servant – the greatest among you will give you what you request. When's the last time the Government gave World Peace? When's the last time the Government stopped world hunger? When's the last time the Government defended you in favour of of a Corporation?

Think of all those examples – did they give it to you? Then – they obviously aren't the greatest. Simple as that – Jesus I tell you does talk some simple stuff, and points us to find the truth. Yet – they exalt themselves – they are better than us, and deserve all this protection, and if we ask for it, we might be considered paranoid. Sounds like double standards to me.

You see – the key here is simple: Double Standards.

Now – when we start using terms like Double Standards – we can essentially start using the words Tyrant, and Tyranny. Yet – I'm sure we're all looking and saying , no I live in a democracy. Really? ReALLY!?!?!

Here's another quote:

Finch: If our own government was responsible for the deaths of almost a hundred thousand people... would you really want to know?

It's interesting that if the government is responsible for something that big – the people let it be – they choose to be sheeple rather than people and accept things for what they are, because somewhere they were hypnotized into believing that this is the way it's always been and it's never going to change.

But the true genius of the plan was the fear. A year later, several extremists are tried, found guilty, and executed while a memorial is built to canonize their victims. Fear became the ultimate tool of this government.

- V

Fear – fear has become the ultimate tool of governments as indicated in the movie. Is this a reality in our world? Start asking yourself questions as to why we need a government – and I'm sure you'll start to notice there are many things – but then ask why you need those many things – and the picture will become quite clear. There is no reason other than for fear.

Propose to someone a world that wouldn't require a government – you'll eventually get someone saying “well then, people will abuse it, or you will get gangs who will form and enslave people” - yet in the next breath these same people will say the Mafia or other gangs control the world, right?

What's the difference? The difference is they're keeping you enslaved by the idea of fear. In one world you're free, the other you're enslaved. In the free world – you wouldn't understand what it would be like, because you've never actually lived in it – you just trust someone's idea who wants to keep you thinking a certain way – FEAR!

In the movie – it was quite interesting. There was a curfew every night to keep the people safe. There were “police workers” who were out monitoring this throughout the night also – and would abuse people(physically or sexually) – if they were out during curfew, because who was going to come and help their fellow man if they're respecting the curfew.

The entire society was a fascist society. If you didn't obey the governments views – you were be taken by the government and eventually killed – and when reported by the media, they would state something totally different than what actually happened, as was given by the government.

Something very interesting about the movie........LIES!

V: Your own father said that artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.

Where did that idea come from? Well V heard it from Evey

Evey Hammond: My father was a writer. You would've liked him. He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.

Interesting it still is – this lying bit. I prefer that nobody would lie – but if I had to chose the one form of lying – I would much prefer the method artists use.

Politicians using the media throughout the movie was just plain horrible. It saddens me – because there is so much news on today's media – yet just like you heard throughout this movie, over and over. BOLLOCKS!

What's sad about the media lying – is they state they are giving the facts, because of witnesses, and other stuff. Yet if these things are indeed lies – they it can be easily said that they are bearing false witness.

How there is so much more in this movie – that I could only wish more people would catch onto, grab and take away with it.
