The life style of the Spartans was not supported through their own individual industry, but, rather through the slavery of the Helots who tilled the parcels of land.

Therefore, the perfect society which Lycurgus established was in actuality dependent on gross injustice inflicted upon others, including the privileged citizenry.

All because of some music and lyrics which Thales made popular.

Need it be mentioned that what written history first attributes to Lycurgus, is again being inflicted upon country after country? Of course it must of needs be mentioned, must be stated.

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln: there is an independent standard of right and wrong which is not dependent on a popular vote or public opinion.

This is simple truth: Everyone knows it. One can not escape it nor is one able to ignore it though one is able to abandon adherence to it - that is, one is able to abandon adherence to it until such time as it itself imposes itself upon one.

It also is simple truth, that a country, or society, or people, which, at its peak abandons the true God, will fall into some degree of anarchy and deny God given rights to those without power, never to regain its former glory for that former glory was dependent upon its adherence to the true God which it has abandoned.             +

Text Box: CONSEQUENCES OF 
HATRED

Ayman al-Zawahri, the new leader of Al Qaeda, has a deep hatred for The United States of America and the West, made more personal by the deaths of his wife and two children in a U.S. air strike following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan after the 9-11 attacks - according to a CBS/AP news story of June 16, 2011.

OK, let's get this straight. al-Zawahri hates the USA because after he planned and participated in the September 11, Al Qaeda attacks against the USA, in which almost three thousand Americans and others were killed, and after having previously planned and carried out attacks against American embassies, and European businesses where Americans were customers, and against American Naval vessels, killing hundreds of American citizens, when the USA finally responded to these terrorist / military attacks by Al Qaeda with military attacks against Al Qaeda,  and al-Zawahri's wife (wives) and children were killed in that military response, al-Zawahri became upset.

OK, al-Zawahri, and the irrational reporters who attempt to place blame for al-Zawahri hatred of the USA on the USA, pay attention.

THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!

Politicians who successfully defraud their electorate may believe the consequences are the life style they desire. Those who are not successful may believe the consequences are months or years in jail.

But these are not the real consequences - just the immediate consequences.

The real consequences are meted out by God. He meets out nasty consequences to the nasty, and nice consequences to the nice. It is your butt - you can put it on a cushion or into a grinder.

God told us that unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood we will not have life in us. He gave us the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Sacrament whereby ordinary bread and wine are changed by the Priest who has Apostolic succession, into His body and His blood while retaining the appearances and sensory presentations of bread and wine. He gave us this Sacrament so we could eat His body and drink his blood in a manner acceptable to our senses, so that would have life in us. When Christ God constituted the Sacrament of the Eucharist He did not say the bread represented His body and the wine represent His blood. He said: This is My Body; This is My Blood. But these pretend churches declare the bread and wine represent Christ’s body and blood, and many of them use grape juice instead of wine. And none of them have a priesthood which traces itself back to the Apostles and therefore none of them can possibly have received the authority Christ gave to the Apostles, to change bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ.

Why do people ignore the banquet prepared for them by God? They ignore it for a multitude of reasons. Some of them do not wish to wash before the banquet. Others do not wish to eat the food prepared for them, even though it is both the most tasty and the most nourishing of foods. Others desire the taste of the food prepared by Satan even though it will poison them and eventually kill them.

Each of these and all of the other reasons for which people reject the banquet prepared by God, all share in one factor. Those rejecting God’s banquet desire to consume something other than what God has prepared and they reject God’s banquet in preference for what they desire.
