definitions

word definitions according to the bible that are different than modern definitions

justice – getting what you deserve

mercy – not getting what you deserve
grace – getting what you don’t deserve
love – putting someone else before yourself, selflessness
hate – hate is not the opposite of love, it can be a component of love.  righteous hatred is motivated by love, you should hate anything that hurts or enslaves someone you love.  wicked hatred is motivated by selfishness and covetousness.
selfishness – the opposite of love, self-centered
covetousness – wanting something that IS NOT rightfully yours
jealousy – protective of something that IS rightfully yours
replenish – fill completely

overpopulation causes plague?

Topic for future study:  It is commonly taught that plague and disease are “nature’s” way of dealing with over-population, or population that has outgrown it’s ability to sustain itself at its current level of technology…

Is this accurate and truly represent actual history?

This sounds suspiciously like something contrived by eugenicists to brainwash the common populace into accepting population control, de-population, and to provide cover for the intentional release of disease.

beasts of the earth

“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:7-8)

Topic for further study:  Are these “normal” wild animals that participate in the death of 25% of the global population?  Is it possible that they are something more, as in the days of noah?

athiesm

the only way for an atheist to be intellectually honest is for them to say “whether or not God exists, i choose not to believe in Him”

an atheist cannot truthfully say “there is no God” as it is impossible for them to prove that God does not exist…

in order to prove that God does not exist, a person would have to know everything

as long as it is possible that God exists in the realm of what the atheist does not know, then the best they can be is agnostic…

meme

I finally heard a good definition of “meme” as being a contagious idea…

In these times we hear a lot about news, videos, songs, images, LOL-cats, etc spreading “virally”.
As a computer scientist, I often deal with trying to contain the spread of computer viruses.
In reality, these computer viruses are nothing but information being copied from one node to another.
Information that changes the programming and thus the ‘behavior’ of the computer or device.
Can the right combination and pattern of information have the same effect on the organic computer that we call the human brain?
Of course, we experience the communication of information changing our behavior on a daily basis.
For example, if I came over to your house and told you that your dog was run over and laying dead in the road, if you cared about your dog it would be very upsetting to you.  It may evoke a traumatic emotional reaction of confusion, anger, grief and result in crying or screaming.  But then when you step outside, you find your dog happily wagging his tail and jumping up on you, glad to see you.
You see, it was not reality or the truth that effected your behavior.  It was information.  In this case the information was inaccurate (maybe I mistook the dog in the road as yours) or an outright lie, but it was not reality that you were reacting to, it was the information presented.
I remember the Batman movie with Jack Nicholson as the Joker.  In that movie, the Joker had laced soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, etc with chemicals that by themselves in each individual product were harmless and undetectable, thereby passing scrutiny of the FDA, etc.
However, when multiple products were used in any random combination, these chemicals would catalyze and cause a transformation to happen to the person who used them.
It is easy to imagine this in terms of a chemical or biological combination of agents.  Even medication that individually can be beneficial, can cause permanent damage or even death when taken in combination with other medications. 
What if the same could be done with information?
What if the information we glean from movies, tv, magazines, books, talk radio, music, etc seemed benign taken individually, but in one of many “right” combinations it could induce emotional and/or irrational behavior?  Are we being distracted by the plethora of sports and entertainment?  Are the news outlets more interested in inducing emotional states of anger, fear, or bliss rather than telling the truth?  Does the repeated and increasingly intense induced trauma put us into a passive suggestible state?  Are we being hypnotized to go about our days in an unquestioning daze?  Is being bombarded by the same talking points over and over again shape our thinking to the point that we react with cognitive dissonance to anything that is contrary to the mainstream message?
Combine this with fluoride in the water hardening our pituitary glands, mercury laced vaccines inducing autism, mutagenic viruses, breathing contaminated air, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, genetically modified organisms, artificial sweeteners and preservatives in our food, and on and on…
What could the synergistic effects be?
Could it help to explain why the world is going “mad”?  Why recently several people that I have known personally for years have begun to act emotionally and irrationally?  Why society calls evil good and good evil?
