WEEKLY WARNING WORDS

April 13, 2005 - Week 82 - Cult of Life or Occult Post-Life?

BY DR. BRUNO J. KEITH

     Sadly, young Terri Schiavo didn't write & notarize a "Living Will", over 15 years ago, like us oldsters. Thus, a battle of hatreds was fought out between family members as well as armies of impudent forces, all who wanted their names mentioned on at least 2 sides of revolting barricades, if not on 3 or more.

     No harm in being opinionated loudmouths. That has become the American mission. Some label this a virtue. Others prefer to consider arguing about death or life a pious impulse which everyone else wants to politicize. Having a split personality of a former yes-and-no researcher, I often managed to sit on a fence, if not on 2.

     For once I have known all these years of personal combat that it is not my business to be part of this flaming issue. I even dare say it is nobody's right to run interference in a hot family dispute over vegetating as a 95% corpse or forever supporting the 5% flickering of rather lively automatic reflection of body, eyes & a bit of sensing. Still, I hate family disputes in serious matters.

     Professional religionists have all the right in the world to express their dogmatic opinions, their god-given mission(s) & their non-or-neo-political demonstrativeness. But press alarm buttons if the politicians among pious poster - pedants monopolize this sad case in the name & cause of a "Cult of Life", especially if a President takes the command-in-chief in this family twist.

      Cult of Life, Mr. President? Why didn't you apply this heavenly command when you were the Texas governor who signed more death sentences than all our governors combined with your brother Jeb as the 2nd in vast numbers of executions? Was his Florida orange juice more than half red like your cactus blood prickles?

     You & yours apply this term, "Cult of Life", whenever you or they order enforcement of coming to terms of every sick or sickening fetus when a poor would-be mother can't bear to bear an unwanted child. Your adherents & leading guides sometimes adopt a crippled baby of misery to force it through a short life of pain, pangs of wretchedness & paroxies of palliative panhandling, so they can call themselves pious imposters. Those, & especially, you, Mr. President, keep cutting public costs for all which would make life a little bit fuller, safer & more satisfying to their hunger. You let millions fall through the cracks because you refund trillions in taxes to the only ones who can afford to pay them. You committed yourself to render life of the poor to living death.

     Cult of Life? Number One Bushwhacker, my foot & yours in your glib mouth, when you make US All swallow your lies as weapons of mass destruction, when you start most aggressive wars, even more than your predecessors in office. Sure, Asama had it all coming. But you gave it to all Afghanistan and all Iraq. Since when are pre-emptive mass attacks on hundred thousands of innocents with the abuse of most modern weapons of mass destruction part & parcel of a cult of life? Pernicious lies! Pernicious murders? Pernicious murderer!

     Why can't you say the truth? You fake by abusing the beautiful Sermon on the Mount. You follow the religious prescription of Doctors Luther, St. Augustine, St. Ambrosius & Commander over popes, emperors & kings, St. Bernard of Clairvaux - all great haters. To them & you, life is only the vestibule to life eternal in Heaven. In more honest words, you have to dispatch to death all your subjects & whoever else believes in your pious theory. Yours is a death cult like in ancient Egypt.

     You, like your Moslem friends, know that your mission is to get millions to plane your final exit from the real world to the paradise of Christian & Islamic dogma. They admit this heroic funeral of the poor masses to be their hope, pride & target. Why don't you express the simple & pure truth that yours also is a death cult? Everybody else knows it. Some love it that way. You never learned to be honest. That is a truth, too.
