Three - My Background

Hi everyone and welcome to my Saturday Post, in this post i am going to discuss the Third part of the paper which I have just released recently, Please have a look at my recent post where I have discovered the first two parts, so for this post i am going to share some of my background so you can understand my perspectives.

I was raised in a middle-class American protestant environment. I was an intelligent, energetic, curious child, and as was common among suburban kids, when not in school, we were usually left unsupervised. That fact resulted in my delinquency, and by the time I was eleven years old, my parents were at their wits' end. My father worked long hours building his business. My mother sat at home. She wasn’t a soap opera watcher; she kept an orderly house, and every afternoon, one of her neighbors, also a stay-at-home mom, would visit to drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, and talk.

The kids were in school or outside playing in the neighborhood. This is completely unnatural behavior, designed and promoted to advance an industrial society with the intended consequence of enslaving the populace willfully. Think about how humans developed over many thousands of years. Fathers were hunting, or in the fields. Their sons were alongside them, learning and expending energy in a supervised manner. There were adventures to be experienced while hunting and fishing. Women worked among a community of others, and their daughters were alongside them. After boys got to be old enough to keep up with the men, meaning puberty, there was a separation, and boys weren’t around girls in isolated situations. Kids weren’t left to their mischief while dad and mom were away at the office.

My mischief resulted in my enrollment in a Catholic military academy when I was in the fifth grade. I was an excellent student when interested in the subject matter, a National Merit Scholar, and excelled in the biological sciences.

I started college with the intention of getting an undergrad degree in biology then specializing in herpetology, the study of reptiles. I suppose that I was an agnostic, but science was my naïve passion. That dream got derailed by the discovery that science, as it is practiced, is a religion. I felt betrayed by the lack of honesty and how the scientific process was being misused to promote ideas that its practitioners admitted were mathematically impossible. I decided that I much preferred business. It was more pure in its pursuit of the truth. I guess I've been chasing truth all of my life. Oddly enough, the closer I get to it, the less I like what I find. At least I don’t like what humans have become and how we twist and pervert that which is natural into something unnatural. Nevertheless, I am enjoying this study. Perhaps by helping people to see what path we've taken, there can be some peace from it. My romantic nature leads me to pray that if we end up starting over as a species, observations of what went wrong this time might provide part of a better solution. The proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating of it.

As I said, in college, I had an epiphany. Upon questioning my science professors about the mathematical improbability of Darwinian Evolution as it was promoted, I was told, “Yes, it isn’t mathematically possible, but it is what we believe.” Science had become a religion.

I changed my major to the School of Business. After my father’s death during my sophomore year, I left school early and went to work. A couple of decades later, I had a wife, children, and a business of my own. Unlike my father, however, I was ever present in my kids’ lives.

Along the way of my life, I had years of experience that opened my eyes to the realm of human sexuality, and social and family structures. I lived with two women in a polygynous relationship, and I had the opportunity to observe thousands of women in a society where the bonds of social convention had been removed. This was a parallel world, where men and women… again, many thousands of them… lived very typical lives in public, but out of the public eye, were very different from the façade they presented to the world. I am completely certain that you have known, worked with, and possibly lived with people who belong to that society. I met people there that I knew in the parallel world. Friends, co-workers, fellow church members, pastors, bosses, and employees. Some people even told stories of surprise encounters with family members, and I was good friends with a couple who came face to face with the husband’s parents one evening. Face to face, being a relative term, since they were all naked at the time.

I am not here to debate the manner in which millions of humans expressed their nature. Studies have indicated that up to 48% of people have participated in nudism and naturist activities. Seventeen percent of the population describe themselves as being in poly relationships.

I began to question which side of society’s coin was actually healthy and which was perverse. The natural environment I witnessed is widely practiced but denied by “polite and righteous” society. I observed these situations for years, especially the behavior of women when they were given freedom from the constructs of socialization and expectations regarding their behavior and sexuality. Please understand what I just said. When you remove the structures of society that provide for a natural expression of what God created, you get secretive and potentially unproductive behaviors. You can complain about our nature, but it is impossible to avoid. You may believe that it can be eliminated, and in certain rare individuals it might, but not usefully. It is baked into our genetics as part of our survival and reproduction mechanisms, and no amount of self-flagellation will bury it within a society.

The Catholic church acknowledges thousands of cases of priests fathering children, and estimates based on what information has been released, place that number in the tens of thousands.

We would be far better off to embrace what is natural and stop trying to convince ourselves that what God created and intended, is sinful.

Across thousands of years, humans created polygynous family structures to take advantage of our natural instincts and behaviors. If read accurately, the Biblical scriptures and other societies’ writings through history, describe that culture as it was instructed by God to align with our natural beings. Modern society, starting in the second century, has (including Judeo-Christians) twisted and perverted itself into something that is killing us. When I talk to Christians today, they almost entirely misunderstand scripture, misquote it, and misappropriate passages to support this perversion, and the result is what we have: a broken culture.

As I began collecting my thoughts about this subject it occurred to me that my readers are going to belong to one of two beliefs, those who believe there is a God, and those who believe there is not. Although this paper is not an attempt at evangelism, it will explore the way that deists influenced society. That influence can’t be denied, even by those who don’t believe in a creator.

We have reached a point in history where, as I argue often, we are doing everything wrong. It hard to find even one aspect of our lives that can’t be criticized. We are convicted by our crushing infertility rate, antibiotic resistant super bacteria, chemical and plastic particle contamination, violence, drug addiction, abortion, declining nutritional value of our industrialized food, debt-based fiat monetary systems, our obsession with the military industrial complex and war, medicine vs health, an education system that doesn’t educate, and I could go on, but the point is made.

If we want to explore how we got to the place where we are staring into the collapse of human society, we can’t avoid the evidence that the followers of Jesus affected that path. I avoided the term Christian on purpose. As I will explore herein, I find little of Jesus in his believers, although I am one of them.

I have long struggled to understand how humans can accept narratives that are foolish, and even ingrain behaviors such as drug abuse and smoking into our society, influences that threaten our very existence. It seems obvious that something in our past has predisposed us to following destructive social practices, or perceived authorities, regardless of the heinous orders they give. Over and over throughout history we see the evidence. The Nazi movement and the killing of millions of Jews, and the policies of Communist China that resulted in hundreds of millions of girls being killed are two of the worst. You may think that this pattern of following misdirection pertains to cultures like those two, but allow me to give you two more from a more familiar experience.
