Trump: crazy old coot?

poor leaderless americans..... how much longer will they find happiness and fulfilment making subtle vaginal innuendo jokes talking about tacos?........... poor uneducated lot............ may their next four years of Trump bring great entertainment for the relatively disinterested......

Trump has just banned Iranians, Yemenis, Somalis (bunch of troublemakers in Minneapolis), sudanis (whole nation is severely messed up), Iraqis and a couple of other nations from entering America, even if they are green card holders! or have been approved by the idiots at the state dept. already!   this really begs the question:  will Trump be giving rub and tugs to the Saudis when they fly into America and will there be a happy ending??

let's look what Nietzsche had to say (about Paul) and see if it reminds us of anyone we know, takes a while to read it all:



The first Christian. All the world still believes in the authorship of the "Holy Spirit" or is at least still affected by this belief: when one opens the Bible one does so for "edification."... That it also tells the story of one of the most ambitious and obtrusive of souls, of a head as superstitious as it was crafty, the story of the apostle Paul--who knows this , except a few scholars? Without this strange story, however, without the confusions and storms of such a head, such a soul, there would be no Christianity...
That the ship of Christianity threw overboard a good deal of its Jewish ballast, that it went, and was able to go, among the pagans--that was due to this one man, a very tortured, very pitiful, very unpleasant man, unpleasant even to himself. He suffered from a fixed idea--or more precisely, from a fixed, ever-present, never-resting question: what about the Jewish law? and particularly the fulfillment of this law? In his youth he had himself wanted to satisfy it, with a ravenous hunger for this highest distinction which the Jews could conceive - this people who were propelled higher than any other people by the imagination of the ethically sublime, and who alone succeeded in creating a holy god together with the idea of sin as a transgression against this holiness. Paul became the fanatical defender of this god and his law and guardian of his honor; at the same time, in the struggle against the transgressors and doubters, lying in wait for them, he became increasingly harsh and evilly disposed towards them, and inclined towards the most extreme punishments. And now he found that--hot-headed, sensual, melancholy, malignant in his hatred as he was-- he was himself unable to fulfill the law; indeed, and this seemed strangest to him, his extravagant lust to domineer provoked him continually to transgress the law, and he had to yield to this thorn.
Is it really his "carnal nature" that makes him transgress again and again? And not rather, as he himself suspected later, behind it the law itself, which must constantly prove itself unfulfillable and which lures him to transgression with irresistable charm? But at that time he did not yet have this way out. He had much on his conscience - he hints at hostility, murder, magic, idolatry, lewdness, drunkenness, and pleasure in dissolute carousing - and... moments came when he said to himself:"It is all in vain; the torture of the unfulfilled law cannot be overcome."... The law was the cross to which he felt himself nailed: how he hated it! how he searched for some means to annihilate it--not to fulfill it any more himself!
And finally the saving thought struck him,... "It is unreasonable to persecute this Jesus! Here after all is the way out; here is the perfect revenge; here and nowhere else I have and hold the annihilator of the law!"... Until then the ignominious death had seemed to him the chief argument against the Messianic claim of which the new doctrine spoke: but what if it were necessary to get rid of the law?
The tremendous consequences of this idea, of this solution of the riddle, spin before his eyes; at one stroke he becomes the happiest man; the destiny of the Jews--no, of all men--seems to him to be tied to this idea, to this second of its sudden illumination; he has the thought of thoughts, the key of keys, the light of lights; it is around him that all history must revolve henceforth. For he is from now on the teacher of the annihilation of the law...
This is the first Christian, the inventor of Christianity. Until then there were only a few Jewish sectarians.


.......................................

not sure how true this is what Nietzsche is talking about..... but like everything Nietzsche comes with in regard to Christianity, better to take benji as an authority......... in fact, benji has started reading the Koran for the first time in earnest, yesterday, and really, it's not hard to read: only 114 books, many of them only one or two pages....... the Koran goes into great detail about Christianity, and Judaism.... and describes itself as an overarching and overbinding religion superimposed on them.... if you are a jew or a Christian by religious persuasion, and want to find affirmation and knowledge of your religion, you can actually find it in the Koran............ Sweedenborg was saying the muslims do not recognize the divinity and divine sonship of Jesus (something Nietzsche doesn't seem to understand), however this is not the case, the Koran clearly states otherwise....... furthermore, the Koran advises that Jesus and others are merely messengers and should not be associated with the greatness of God who is almighty and above Jesus and Mohammed.  The Koran states that the people that equate Jesus with God saying Jesus IS God, are unbelievers (infidels). While it is true that Jesus was in perfect attunement with God (I and the Father are one, is how the gospels put it), the Koran is also quite right to state that it is wrong to associate anyone with God, even a messenger. The Koran goes into great detail about this to make it clear. I recently tried explaining this to the pastor at auburn's Anglican church who visited me at home to the table I am currently using to type on (glass topped).... I said to the guy, imagine this entire table surface is our milky way galaxy, and this measly speck of bread crumb is our solar system.... keeping in mind there are already virtually countless galaxies similar to our own discovered by hubble, etc..... then Jesus may be the 'big man on campus' on this little planet of ours, but God is the ruler of all of this Galaxy and the rest of them and Jesus is nothing to those other worlds, not relevant.......... the pastor, Mr. Cocks, seemed to understand that.

Anyway, the Koran is very explicit about that, and generally it goes into a great deal of explanations about the inevitable hellfire awaiting the stingy in charity and the evildoers in general although it doesn't mention various sins specifically that I have seen so far. Most of the sins it mentions have to do with blaspheming against God, putting anything above God, including children and family and Nation, etc.

With regard to the Sean Hannity's of this world always harping about 'radical islam' and the Moslem apologists saying Islam has nothing to do with killing. Let's be clear, the Koran is all for killing infidels, it's not 'radical', it's just what God prescribes in the Koran. If you can make peace with them, make peace, it says, otherwise kill them, and the polytheists (e.g., Hindus, who are infidels). So if you have a spare airforce and some nukes, go ahead and nuke india because it's full of polytheists. The Koran prescribes killing or converting polytheists. A lot of the conquests the Koran prescribes are relative to the conquest of Arabia and farther lands that Mohammed and after-comers achieved. There was a limit reached in Spain over various centuries which contained and eventually repelled Islam from conquering Europe, although it did reach southern Italy, southern France through Barcelona, Bulgaria (through Turkey) and some smaller nations in the Balkans.

The Koran also states that the punishment for killing a believer (non-infidel) is hell, and even eternal hell (whatever that means - probably having to watch Ellen Degeneris over and over again without being able to punch yourself in the face for relief occasionally, or marrying my wife, who knows?). This means a lot of Isis and others warring in the middle east will be going to hell as well as a great many u.s. military folks who bombed and invaded sovereign nation Iraq in the first place (off to the hellfire in the afterlife, see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya! Although how much worse could it be than having my wife for a wife? wanna buy her off me?). However, getting back to the original point, the constant conquest and killing it prescribes for the infidels is more suited to large battles and campaigns than civilized modern western nations. In such nations, large police and intelligence agencies exist to thwart such attacks which are viewed as terrorism. All conspirers realize that eventually they would be caught and imprisoned or have the death penalty. The way the Koran prescribes killing infidels is more relevant to situations like when the arabs invaded India or southern spain or whatever with large armies, taking slaves, etc, not having to worry about local law enforcement stopping them from gunning some folks down and arresting them.
