Grouchy Merwegon is going to speak some truth in the midst of this cheerful holiday season!
The problem with religion is that all the little people (us) are preached at to be humble, when really we need to learn to speak up for ourselves, so that we then can effectively speak up for others. “The Religions” SHOULD have TWO SETS OF RULES. The ones they currently HAVE for the powerful, which teaches humility, and a new OPPOSITE set to program small people.
Why did Michael Cohen get 3 years in prison for helping to illegally elect a horrible dude as president, and 18 year olds may get more than that when their 17 year old girlfriend’s mother wants to take revenge?
Why do small people feel SO devastated by marital infidelity, yet George W. Bush was responsible for MILLIONS of unnecessary Iraqi civilians’ deaths and walks free? Most presidents are responsible for millions of deaths, and they are called heroes or villains, but don’t do time in jail.
The fact is that POWER writes the rules, and the PROPHETS try to counteract their “evil tendencies,” for the good of “The People,” but the people get programmed with these same rules. The naturally humble need to be told that ASSERTIVENESS IS GOOD (not arrogance, but assertiveness). The naturally charitable need to be helped to understand that STANDING UP FOR THEIR OWN RIGHTS as employees, for example, helps to keep corporate greed in check, and encourages other low level employees to STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS.
