Joss Whedon Should Write Them a new Narrative

On Saturday night, in a section of Minneapolis, multiple shooters opened fire, wounding 11 people and killing one. The City Council has called for the disbanding of the police department, yet somehow, the police have been called to investigate the shooting. Multiple witnesses were present, and they talked to the press. Oddly, the articles about the shooting do not provide physical descriptions of the shooters.

The dead man is black. There are black people in the few photos that have been published. If the shooters are white, it’s quite remarkable that the press hasn’t told us. Journalists are pretty conscientious about promoting stories of white-on-black violence, rare though it is.

In Seattle, in the criminal-occupied zone at least one Youtuber is referring to as “Soymalia” and “Wokeanda,” a 19-year-old man has been shot to death. We have seen armed criminals roaming the streets, functioning as the official security team for the area. Haven’t seen law-abiding citizens doing that. In fact, it’s impossible to see a law-abiding citizen doing that, because open carry is illegal in Washington.

Wonder who shot the young man.

For a while, I’ve been pointing out that the Seattle goon squad is now the area’s police. So this shooting appears to have been police brutality. Committed in a zone where the occupants had convinced themselves freedom from police was the solution to the brutality problem. And they called the real police when the shooting took place.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?

You throw your police force out because of occasional occurrences of police brutality. Then you declare your area police-free. Then you form your own police squad which has no oversight or training, and it commits a murder right off the bat, in addition to other acts of violence that have been filmed. Then you ask the real cops to come in and investigate.

I guess it’s better than holding a lynching, hypocrisy notwithstanding.

Here’s how much sympathy I feel for the residents of Minneapolis and Seattle: none whatsoever.

Is that a sound Christian position? Yes, it is. One of the fascinating things about Christianity is the way it separates people. It unites people who are led by the Holy Spirit, regardless of their races and so on. On the other hand, it separates us from belligerent, rebellious people who can’t be helped. We’re supposed to show them patience up to a point, and then we’re supposed to let them go and stop thinking about them.

When Lot was delivered from Sodom, he wasn’t just told to leave. He was told not to look back.

The people of Seattle and Minneapolis voted for this situation many times. They thought leftist rebellion was cute and stylish. They knew better; nearly everyone knows better. Now their foolishness and hypocrisy are biting them in the rear end, and still, many of them are defending their stupid actions. To feel sympathy for them is to have more concern for them than they have shown for themselves.

What about the Christians who are trapped in these areas? No sympathy. No one who has been listening to God has been trapped anywhere. If you had listened, you would have left. Or God has allowed you to remain there for a reason, and he has also provided an escape route you will take before long.

Discussing the day of his return, Jesus told parable of the 10 virgins;

“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

“‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”

That’s what’s happening now. If you’re in the wrong place, and you think God put you there, you don’t have oil. In the Bible, oil represents the presence of the Holy Spirit. He guides and teaches us.

The wedding banquet is a real event, and it will take place in heaven during the rapture. You will notice the parable mentions 10 women but only one groom. The groom is Jesus, and we are the virgins.

People who don’t believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, or who insist they received it automatically when they accepted Jesus, are going to be running around looking for oil after the doors have closed in front of them.

What happens in Seattle and Minneapolis, to people who continue to reject God and who don’t listen, isn’t my concern. They’ve made their choice. They’re not part of my world. I can observe their distress and learn from it, but I’m not supposed to get involved with it. There are better uses for my time. It’s hard to imagine a worse use. I would accomplish nothing at all, and Satan would squander my potential while I chased idiots. Jobs God wanted me to do would go undone.

People end up where they belong. They choose. Some people belong with God, and others belong in hell. It wasn’t created for them, but they select it. It’s pointless.

I was just interrupted by a call from a black friend. We spent a few minutes laughing at the riot nuts.

Is it wrong to laugh? It’s hard not to. You try to have a cheery outlook.

I guess I should stop now. I just received a big ammo shipment, and I have to test some new 10mm rounds I made yesterday. Maybe it’s good that I blog about my firearms. When the kooks decide to target me, they won’t take me seriously when I say I don’t want to hurt anyone. They will probably be deterred for quite a while. They talk a big game, but the very thought of forceful resistance turns their black Antifa outfits yellow.

BOO! I’m dangerous! No, seriously!

I’m getting ready to take my first precision rifle course, so that ought to boost my cred.

Anything that buys me time and peace is okay by me.
