America and the Magic World View

 

 

 Rev Wilbur Witt

There are three times that I know of where common sense flew out the window. One was in the year “One” when the Jews were waiting for a Warrior Rabbi that would come and chase the Romans back to Rome. Then there was the Great Awakening back in the 1820s where a cluster of churches in New England fired up the population about Jesus coming back. He didn’t, but a little treasure hunter did write a bang-up book and started The Mormon Church. And then there’s what I choose to call America and the Magic World View. Can I get an Amen?

This has occurred before. The shaved ape has this uncanny ability that when things get so out of control even God can’t fix it they’ll invent a religion to untie the knots. Now they believe in The Bible except when they don’t, and a smattering of prophets help. Holy Joe did them one better when he concocted The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He just called down the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost and signed a contract with them for all  the souls of the planet,  alive or dead, or will be dead right there. So smoking frankincense and myrrh is not exactly a new thing.

Before I go on this this thesis we need to talk about some psychology. Nothing is actually what you think is real. It’s what you perceive as real. The brain is real good at filling in the blanks. You will see things that aren’t there simply because you have been trained to expect them to be there. Penn and Teller’s routine where you hear so many quarters hitting a metal cup that you will see two quarters fall from behind an audience member’s glasses simply because you expect to see them there. And don’t count on memory! Ask any detective about the accuracy of so-called eyewitnesses. How many shooters were on the grassy knoll? And written accounts? If you put Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in an interrogation room in 33 AD three of them would have gone to jail. So there’s that!

Suffice to say you shouldn’t accept anything you hear and half of what you see. From this comes The Magic World View. Forget science, pathology, or simple math, when all else fails just wish it and it will become so. Physics be damned. Right is left, left is right, and sideways is straight ahead. Squint them eyes tight enough and them there lines will connect! And it doesn’t stop there. Give all your money away and more will fall out of the sky. The Bible tells us that money is the root of all evil, so why does Joel Osteen need so much of it? Hey! Here’s an idea. Put him in a cave with the entrance covered by a big rock, and if he walks out in three days we can all shout hallelujah and give him all our money!

And politics. Politics is based on lies and false promises anyway so it’s a short trip to Making Obama’s America Great Again. If you think magic quarters are something just consider politics. A profession based on unproven promises made by professional con men. Vote for me and rain will become beer! And people believe because they have been told if enough of them believe it will be! But incredible problems require incredible solutions.

The Democrats have been gang raping this country since 1913! Except for a few brief respites the Democrat agenda perpetuated the illusion of chocolate cake for all while hiding the fact that everything that is brown is not cake. And the supposed cooperation balance of two parties became forty-seven genders with the general public required by law to accept psychosis as proven pathology. Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! You’re not gonna fix this in four years if you can fix it at all. No matter how hard we try a few of these whack-a-doodles will get away and start a religion up in the mountains somewhere and begin marrying little girls. And the longer it goes the old truth of the Prophet Adolf Hitler will ring in our ears: If you are going to tell a lie, tell a big one, and if you tell it long enough it will become the truth! You can keep the Amen.
