Truth? Who’s truth? Who will I believe? Not sure. Who all has been in on it and who is just like me a dupe?

reformedliberal, - I just finished writing a post/note to defconw and in it I spoke of abject cynicism. The next step along those lines of thinking usually has one eventually becoming fatalistic. Not such a good place to be.
With the movie “The Matrix” and the TV show “Lost” we the observers are asked to believe “That the Dream is Reality.” Very refutable.
What we all need to remember is that we, all of us, don’t have as much control as we think we do. What we do is do our utmost with the time we have. We don’t ever give up and we realize that God is ultimately in charge. Each of us have the honor of writing our parts of God’s story of His Creation.
Well put.
Got it, Kalam. However,until/unless God can change the minds and hearts of untold myriads of swampers and their minions,the world is what it is: fallen, corrupted and held by inertial chains.
Our very history has been stolen. The records are corrupted by those charged with its protection. How are they to be restored? The JFK files were released. How many of the brainwashed subsequently saw the light? How many even know what was revealed or the implications for our present state?
I don’t think Lost and The Matrix are the same. Lost was literally so lost that the final shot was that most cliched of endings: “they woke to find it was all a dream.” Gag.
Matrix said the dream was a choice and the bondage could be broken with courageous action. Most of our world, like that of The Matrix, chooses its bondage and abjures action. Like the movie, we’re fighting algorithms originally made by man. We are also fighting the deepest of human attributes: greed, sloth, love of comfort, wilful ignorance. They not only exist in service to the Cabal, they also exist within ourselves.
Q feeds our courage. If Q cannot effect change and if Trump cannot effect change, most will default to trying to get on with their lives, regardless of the stakes or the outcome.
We have a window of opportunity, a brief intermission in the ongoing degradation of our world. If the swamp prevails, the masses will not only bail, they’ll defect like the Israelites in the desert defaulting to the Baal worship of their former masters. They will not only accept their chains, they will love them until, like the drowning victim fighting the rescuer, both succumb to the weight and fall beneath the waves.
That may be fatalistic, but it’s still reality. Hope in the face of the unrelenting odds against us is noble and worthy.
We need more than hope. Truth is a strong weapon, but by itself it will not effect change, especially if not enough of the captives even hear it, let alone believe.
We need St. George to slay the dragon and so far, he hasn’t so much as trimmed a talon that I can see.
I get that this is not a worthy message for Resurrection Sunday. For that, I apologize.
