With all the UNNECESSARY troubles we are made to contend with these days one thing we do not need is a Christian religion that is being hijacked by ‘modern’ social justice types and deformed into a politicized crass-culture propaganda show. As our society careens toward – enabling and excusing ever more bizarre kinds of abnormal, erratic, criminal, anti-American behavior and away from intelligent, honorable, responsible, productive, considerate behavior – Christianity in some places, denominations and people is surrendering to inferiority. A long 20th century of malicious attacks against true virtues, family, neighbors, community and nation has gotten us down to a place where Our Country isn’t recognized by people who have been around long enough to observe the trashing of our honorable and accomplished nation.

‘Modern’ society – NEW machines, NEW technology, NEW microwave broadcast media, NEW digital gadgets, New entertainment, NEW educrat management of schools  and NEW theology – have steadily, blatantly been used to impugn, defame, condemn and vilify our heritage of hard work, personal excellence, rule of law, respect for knowledge and citizen responsibility as being some sort of ‘old’ yesteryear junk that needs to be put out on the curb to be hauled away. Christianity, which is about those virtues, has withstood the onslaught as well as might be expected after an all out barrage pf poisonous hostility. But the ‘standard’ view of the Nazarene’s mission has been stuck in time capsule mode and is now being exposed as incorrect by the stress test of direct attacks against it by a collection of  Christian hating, America hating, opinion mongering totalitarian ankle biters. Those who are in the Christian camp, who have tried to ‘go along to get along’ with the rotten crap culture gang have only shown themselves to be – incorrect, every step of the way. The take down has particularly featured a tiresome nationwide Christian religion train wreck.

Christianity needs to Upgrade. The old ‘mainline’ church message of sin and forgiveness, do unto others, peace, sympathy for peoples’ problems – all of that is being put in the rearview mirror by the power of human technology and advancement. People who are busy – obsessed – with their ‘devices’ have little time or inclination for sermons about sin, suffering and forgiveness.

Christianity is not about feeling sorry for people who have troubles. We have 99 different federal programs for them – funded by fake money. It is not about being ‘grateful’ for – morning sunshine or food or home or good health. People who keep busy deciding which pills to take for which entertainment culture ailments they have don’t spend much time revering the trinity. It is not about being extra friendly or concerned for the happiness and welfare of others. Big Prosperity can get people Way Lackadaisical. The Nazarene’s teaching about people getting along with each other with patience and generosity was made for people trying to survive in that particular – barefoot, hew and draw era.

Christianity, the Good News that the Nazarene brought, is that the reality we are in is a Reality of GOODNESS. The evidence is all around us. It is unavoidable and undeniable. The GOODNESS that we encounter is a function of the greatest Good – the BEST that is the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega, Real and True. We are part of it. We live in it. We LIVE it. We can be busy and harassed and bothered by the daily grind and whirl, and life can go from pillar to post but always and ever we all ‘know’ that there is a REAL GOOD present in each our lives.

The message the Nazarene brought to us is that we are entirely capable of directing our lives, our understanding, our work and our daily living to the BEST that each of us can accomplish. Jesus tells us to go through the straight gate – just put the incidental crap show aside and focus your attention ahead, lift up your eyes and dedicate your understanding and life to Good and Better – all the way to BEST.

Doing this will put the daily grind, the daily news, the ridiculous circus of a bothered society into an examined perspective where we can see plainly the right path, the right approach to managing, for Goodness sake, the nasty mess our society has been allowed to become. We are the UPs. We need to decide certainly to just get moving up that path to Goodness and be prepared to make ‘corrections’ to our society and to the people who live in darkness and deceit and disaster because they so wrongly ‘wish’ for annihilation. Those who wish for ZERO should be allowed to get it. We who plan for the BEST will get it – IF we decide to hitch up our britches and go for it. (It will not be delivered to your front door by UPS or Fedex.)

Christianity needs to drop the sorry for poor people, hurt people, injured people routine. Sympathism is a natural character trait most people have, but we need to focus attention on another character trait, Personal Excellence, which works Best for EVERYBODY. Christianity needs to drop the happy sappy grinface ‘glory to God’ routine that doesn’t fit in at all in a world of wretched desperation and astonishing accomplishment. Christianity needs to drop the ‘all God’s children’ routine and get off the race obsessed jive – – Conservative Principle #4  People are endowed with vast, overwhelming mental capacity to learn, understand and accomplish. That goes for ALL people. Christianity needs to drop the 15 minutes of fame, pander to the news cycle routine. Church does not need TV cameras.

Christian churches need to do ONE thing, deliver the message that the Nazarene taught us – YOU are made to get with God’s Program and that Program is – the BEST. There is no rocket science to it, nothing myterioso, no puzzle box to fuss around with and figure out. If Christians want ‘things’ to get better, if they want ‘the world’ and Our Country to get better, the correct instruction is to – Start with YOURSELF.
