Me Tarzan. You Statement.

It's a little after midnight on Monday and maybe it's the throbbing pain in my mouth or the corresponding pain in my ears but as I looked for a cold spot to rest my head while watching The Red Skull [Captain America] I wondered, "why is it every one who denounces humankind is either a maniac, a megalomaniac, a fool with a god complex or Kanye West?" Just once I'd like to read [or see] a situation where someone [a human] disavowed the concept of humanity in lieu of something better, grander, more purposeful.

And we're not even talking the Buddhas or some ascetic. We're not talking about any of that. Just a normal guy [normal for what it's worth] saying: "Good bye humanity. Hello..." I dunno, something better.

Admittedly, this is in [some small part] because of Man of Steel. The kind of comments I've heard just confirmed for me that logic is drifting away from this planet. Everyone just wants to feel easy. Few want to think. It's a youtube world after all. Spew your venom in the comment bar of Life. Not that I am the grand high thinker... but I wonder. I really wonder about a world that lifts up Zombie Movies rather than a man standing for Hope. And I get we're all cynical - even I, the Theist has grown exceedingly cynical... somewhat. But this is ridiculous. All because people won't think.

But lest you think this is a veiled review, understand that I have been feeling this way for a while; a long while actually and it's relatively scary when information passes through your mind and you wonder - "Who am i if not human?" 

Recently, on the sister blog, i took upon myself the idea of "the lord of young gods". Young gods are the bright beings who seem to move beyond the "iCan't" of humanity. A lord is someone who either grooms them or is there to provide sustainable advice/council that they may shine/do what they're supposed to in the world. My Theist sensibilities have everything at a common level [common "g", common "l"] so as to not elevate them or self to the place of [capital "G"] God. All of this though, to distance oneself from the place of humanity.

I sat there thinking how fed up i am. Gay, straight, theist, atheist, student, professor - I'm tired of all branches of humanity. I'm tired of thinking three steps in a direction, plotting possibilities and hypotheses, for what? Humans like this madness. Our whole world is most definitely royally screwed and it's not because of weather patterns, it's human patterns. God help us all.

I worry for this world. I worry for what is to come. If intelligence is being replaced with acceptance; if cynicism is more acceptable than discourse or truth - this place will seriously blow. You know sometimes I look at the statuses of friends. I think: "it must be nice to just... throw one's hands in the air and let the universe/God figure it all out" and admittedly, there is great truth to the quit-fighting-and-let-God-be logic. But i have questions; questions I've had since i was little; more, that grew with/on me and while I will get the answers in my living years; while I will get the peace I seek in my living years humans still.... meander. 

Oh c'mon guys. Figure it out! Be more. If you say that human is the best that can be had on this planet then by all means, prove it to me. Be the best. BE. More.

Me Tarzan. You Preacher Politics

                                  Valley of Decision by Christafari. Appropriate me thinks. On the night before the American election, while walking towards the taxi-stand, I became depressed by religion in politics. Actually, I became depressed by the thought of RACE in RELIGION but since that flowed into the political stream, one can say that I was sorely depressed all the way around. Here’s why: A prominent “Father of the Faith” so to speak, sat down with Mitt Romney. Now, tradition has shown that he’s the kind of guy that Presidents and Presidential hopefuls go to at some point in their careers, so it should come as no surprise that Master Mitt and the “Father” wold meet. It is said, that after meeting with him, though he didn’t give an all out public endorsement as other members of his family seem to have, he did advise the [Christian] public to vote according to Biblical Views/Beliefs....

Me Tarzan. You Christian Community

I got a question for the Christians of America and by extension, the world: Since when is Satan more innocuous than gay people? I know why you voted Trump. I know why you like Pence. I know why you voted Republican in the face of a woman who, (yes she might seem like a hawk), had the ability to be swayed for the good of your county. I know why: you wanted to restore what – in your mind is – good, strong Christian Conservative Values to America. Whatever that means. I add that last part in because you (American Theists) also believe things like – it’s okay to carry around as many guns as you like (it's your God-Given and constitutional right) or that climate change isn’t really that much of a thing. It’s like Tina Fey said in one of her Sarah Palin skits, “It’s just God hugging us closer.” Which I USED to chuckle about but honestly… given how you vote… I guess some of you think that too. Of course, the reality is, Christians (like most religions) believe in the end of d...

Me Tarzan. You List

--> I’ve been listening to SKYFALL since the radio edit dropped on Thursday. It tore through me indeed. But somewhere around Friday evening [maybe earlier], I realised that while most people were loving the song for it’s Adele/Bond value, for me it was an actual plea to Heaven. "Please, let the sky fall already." I had had enough. I wrote a short piece for my [name: classified] project and while doing so, I asked myself, “what would it take to make you happy?”. I wrote it on my phone.. Here now is the list. What would it take to make you happy? 1.               ACTUALLY seeing God I remember, the days leading up to the surgery thinking, what would happen if i went under and had some kind of Divine Visitation? What then? If I sat down to it, I can almost rationalise every faith experience. Almost. I think about how many times I was supposed to be dead - literally - and I think, it had to be God. Of ...
