President Barack Obama on Monday July 22nd signed an executive order banning workplace discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender workers of federal contractors and the federal government.
Ostensibly this order will prevent discrimination in the work place (and eventually lead to sexually integrated rest rooms as well), but it serves as another vehicle for reducing people to work digits; to colorless, genderless, and valueless, entities devoid of spirituality, ethics, morality, ethnic culture, and human dignity. People have been made equal (the same), as a result of “rights” and laws enforcing these rights bestowed upon them by the high priests of Mammon located in Washington, D.C.
The only true objective in our Mammon society consists of the opportunity to earn money, obtain material things, and foster self-indulgence. The propagation of the species and the inculcation of spiritual values have no support or venue in the government of Mammon.
Qualities that parents once inculcated in their children no longer receive attention. When did you last hear someone say, “You’re not behaving as a lady” or “He’s a real gentleman?” We do not even use those terms anymore. We have eliminated Mr. and Mrs. from our social lexicon. We have become units now, and the designations that differentiate one unit from another are titles such as engineer, nurse, truck driver, or a host of other titles dependent upon the work that we do in order to have the right to eat and which are bestowed upon us by the various institutions of Mammon.
The objective of most societies since the beginning of recorded history consisted of developing good wives and mothers who would bring forth life and nurture it, and good husbands and fathers who would provide the environment and means for that activity to take place. Marriage was a tribal ritual approved by the elders because the future existence of the tribe depended upon the performance of those two people and others like them who made marriage commitments. Without the establishing of standards, people cannot progress along a spiritual and moral path; a truism stated in Proverbs as, “A nation without vision shall perish.”
The concept of sameness did not exist among the indigenous people of most of this world. There was a sense of belonging, and all members of the tribe were cared for; however, their duties varied according to their ability to help preserve and protect the tribe. That objective no longer exists and the state of Western society reflects the loss.
Children no longer receive training in modesty, consideration for others, prudence, fortitude, and any of the many attributes necessary to be a well functioning member of the family, tribe, and race. Everything is okay, we are all the same, “do not judge anyone, and we’ll all be happy,” reflects the thinking that permeates the government, media, and educational system.
Lest anyone conclude that prejudice plays a part in this essay, I consider all men and women to be my brothers and sisters, regardless of their moral values or performance; however, we do tend to want to associate with those who have similar values, and we do not want to see our values attacked covertly or overtly. People are different from one another, sometimes very different. Factors such as climate, religious training, vocational focus, family tradition, social mores, and language account for some of these differences, which should be respected and learned from.
Laws now exist that prohibit even references to sexism, homosexuality, and atheism, on the job or in public places. Laws exist preventing the expression of religious values on government property, in government organizations, or government affiliated organizations, which account for a large part of normal areas of activity. Even though government laws purport to treat all people equally, they are loaded with prejudice; they will not consider a spiritual authority, or male authority, or the importance of family.
There are only two options and one choice available to all members of society today: either you believe in God and the purpose of humankind as the propagation of the species as it develops spiritually, or you believe in a grossly materialistic society the purpose of which is self-gratification. There are no other options and only one choice.
People in general have tried to avoid that choice as the pleasures of Mammon are extensive and the responsibilities of the spiritual life are heavy; however, the self-destruction of Western society has become obvious, and the time for making a decision is at hand. Once the decision is made action will be necessary to start living outside of the grip of Mammon and its various material institutions such as government and its many satellites.
The time will be at hand to rebuild on the old foundations and be known as the rebuilders.
