page #140 back nextThe points you make
show a lot about how you are
Online we can find all kinds
of FUD and rabid [some group] baiting, where
[some group] could be any group. There are always
posts with snarky "If ya don' like it screw U's"
riddled throughout the posts on a page. What
motivates someone to channel their
snarky and illmannered indifference and/or disdain
within the confines of a random blog-post page?
It is like those people who always say
that "if ya don vote, ya getz the governaught
that ya dis-serve" or other such
snarky malarky (a patented and trade marked phrase).
Like if you fail to vote you deserve to be
thrown into slavery?? huh?? That wouldn't
make any sense.
So I was reading in a discussion in a
know-it-all-apedia article on a certain historical
figure who murdered a very famous family (while
he was drunk). So someone writes in the discussion
how 'murder' and 'execution' are different and
that you can't call this a murder . . . and on with
this line of reasoning. And I can't see why
anyone has to make that arguement. I guess if
someone kills kids and servants, as well as
the head of state and his lady . . . I guess that
person is a . . .
You know, do I really need to say a word for it?
But there it was, someone discussing the
difference between murder and execution.
So I put in a comment about how some people
feel that state sponsered executions are murder.
So do I feel that? Is that how, I, urge-central
blogist feel?
It is extreame in a very hard way that when people
feel that they should execute that the world
says it is state sponsered murder. When people
do very horrible things and henious hurt and maime
and kill others, than one must say that it is
necessary to do what states do, ie, the death penalty.
It is so final. And then it is over. As a Christian
I don't know if it is OK to accept the death penalty
as law. I would prefer life behind bars. However, how
can government afford this? Well, they just have to.
So, did said age old guy (arch-type of a villan?) murder
or did he execute? Is there someone somewhere who
still loves this guy? There must be somewhere. Maybe
some relative? "He was told to do it" maybe they
say "but we don't have any documentation so the
know-it-all-apedia won't let us post . . . "
So some do, apparently, light candles for those
who appear to the rest of the world to be murderers.
Guards at a jail who pull a switch? Are they murderers?
I don't think that they are. Execution is different
than murder.
But is it, folks, that execution is a lesser sin than
murder? Is the executioner some how a sinner?
The world goes on. We've read, even, that Moses did
someone in. I put it like that 'did someone in' out
of respect for Moses. He was young. He was enraged.
He killed an Eygptian.
So maybe the revolutionary who murdered the Czar
and his family was really just a confused and flawed
person worthy of some praise in someway even though
very damaged, purported (by the know-it-all-apedia)
to have become a Christian but promonted listed
as a born of another religion.
At the point of being a murderer is anyone ever
a good person of any religion? I have to say no.
They are doing something flawed and wrong.
Are they thus, irredeamable? Was Moses?
Of course we know that Moses was redeemable and
he was redeemed. He even didn't have to die.
But he never got to cross the Jordan, did he?
He leads his people to the promised land
but he never gets to cross over.
let that be a lesson to all of you
murderers looking to be redeemed. And you
executioners, you aren't murders but you
are executioners. So even you have
to work to be redeemed.
And even I.
Well, any way, enough of my babble for now.

The Right Column Season of Wither
I took you along
on my walk to my
place
by the
lake.
Why did you have to
destroy all the
stones on the
beach
looking for
fossils?
That day, an ancient
memory is ossified
and tossed aside.
On which beach
at some future time
will they find it
as a fossil?
Do you even
remember
that
day?
