Human Violence/Sin are Anti-Human and Anti-Spiritual

On this third day of the New Year it is worthwhile to reflect upon the example of Our Lord in not enacting violence upon our fellow human beings. It is also good to use some of ye old language at this time of year. The King James version of the Bible is an uncomplicated version I enjoy. In the world today there is a common surfeit of violence. In the day of the Lord there was also a surfeit of violence. Government ad religious authorities commonly orchestrated mass social movements of violence and there were few realms life that was too far removed from the imminence of personal danger from human social violence at the interpersonal level.

We have no example of Jesus using violence at all in the Bible. In the one instance where he cursed a fig tree causing it to shortly thereafter wither and ‘bear no more fruit forever’ he was using that as a device for prophecy revealing that the temple priesthood era of the Jews was over.

Interpersonal violence today is a function of a society in one aspect of a dysfunctional mode. We may acknowledge the right for proximal self defense and yet regard plain aggression as a negation of humanity for-itself. If human reasoning and social democracy cannot prevail over unreasoning, wicked force the spiritual evolution of society is set back into that conformal bundle of physical and temporal phenomena we may regard as nihilist. Such nihilism is a perennial problem for human reason and existence noted by Our Lord as was as others formerly reaching as far back in history as the Iranian philosopher Zarathustra.

Our Lord was an example of perfect human social conduct and of course non-violence. Yet there will be an era ahead when conformal social bundles of behavior will no longer be tolerated by The Lord. The potter shall cast the broken and mal-adjusted forms of the faithless back into the field and the leader of violence, lies and murder into the pit.

Human experience with violence occurs with a conformal physical behavioral bundle grounded in tangent vectors of temporal doom and spiritual decay. On this second day of the New Year Christians should reflect a little upon the desirability of encouraging non-violent social relations, becoming intolerant of aggressive violence, considering how state violence such as the conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan may be too deeply bound in general spiritual decay that leads to material poverty and national insecurity coincidently. When the inability to implement positive political courses overloads federal international relations policies with military solutions as sole remedies to economics and culture issues the evil and wickedness of violence snares the faithless further in its descent into darkness.

Jesus said in chapter 20 of Luke verse 17-19 “And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.”

Jesus warned his society of the immanence of violence on countless occasions. Those of faith still should listen to the call of the Lord to quit the world of senseless violence one may regard as an imprimatur of conduct conformal to the bundled behaviors of human spiritual defeat.

It might be an interesting thing if statistical mechanics could plot the incidence of sin in America-real sin as the Bible describes explicitly and implicitly in order to write up a scalar field of where these things occur in space-time. Quantum cosmology uses such methods in string theory to develop geometrical values for all locations in space-time enabling a metric or units of spacing and frequency of various features of a field. With such a scalar field chart sin in America accurately in any given time period with the accuracy of quantum mechanical uncertainty and of course some of the same problems of observing just the position or speed of a particle or entangled particle pairs but not each simultaneously it might also become possible to chart the clumping, clusters and fluxes of sin’s scalar field and metric. Interpreting biblical prophecy quantitatively might be an added derivative result of a comprehensive statistical geometric analysis of American sin.

To return to the topic of negating the anti-humanism of violence so far as possible concurrent with a reduction of human disrespect for other living things and the ecology of the planet…Our hierarchical priesthoods may be leading the flock astray on tithing and sundry other social values.

If the nominal church hierarchical priesthood is wrong-collecting 3000% more tithes than they are entitled to if any (see the two hyperlinks above’, they may be playing right into the hands of sin themselves as active leaders in the practice of parsimony and such. Maybe they also are inclined to sign off on violence like crucifying God or warring for resources abroad with mercenaries for a piece of the action? In 2011 a reduction of anti-human violence would work to rectify a right relationship with God.
