The Sheep(le)~

If God is love then why do we fear God...? That is a good question. I suppose you would have to believe in the critter to begin with. Love and fear should not be in the same sentence because if we combine love with fear, then it is not love. The abused housewife loves to get her ass beat and she stays with her man because she loves the color violet that only he can provide. Yeah right!

The creation of god(s) was a means in which to keep the sheep in order. The sheep bleeped along in their pasture living their happy little lives while they questioned how they came to be. Sometimes, some would believe that the rain created them and sometimes some would believe that the grass created them. Every week, there was a new creator to believe in and to argue over.

One day, a wolf entered the pasture and thought it would be a breeze to be the Grand Pooh-bah of them all. The sheep, having never seen a wolf were frightened as the wolf snarled and growled at them. “What big teeth you have!” they sheepishly said.

The wolf said to the sheep, “What do you do?” The sheep responded in unison, “We eat grass, question where we came from, wonder why there is day and night, water and air, ah, just everything that is.” As the wolf had been around the block a few times, he figured he could easily rise to power. The wolf told the sheep that he was God, the creator of all things. To gain their confidence, he told them how he sacrificed his only pup because they, the sheep, were born baaad. Most of the sheep were happy to believe this as it would mean an end to having a new creator every week, however, some questioned this tale. Those who questioned the wolf and did not go along with his program were made into a stew. Those who questioned but feared that they too would become stew pretended to believe so as not to be stripped of wool and boiled alive. (This wolf was talented.) Then again, some truly believed that the wolf was their creator. These sheep so hailed and loved him that they made him some attractive sheep’s clothing. Silly sheep.

The wolf screamed out, "Hey sheep! Yo, are you listening? I created you and I will tear you a new one if you do not worship and love me. Don’t ask questions, just do as I tell you. Hey, you know what? Hee, hee, hee, I was kidding. Do what you want as I had my pup killed for you. I know I contradict myself, but make sure you love and obey me so that when you die, you earn a raffle ticket to the pearly gates where Wolf Peter will meet you. (I hear the music of Peter and the Wolf.) Now don't y’all get your hopes up on entering the pearly gates as I am only taking a select number (see Revelation 14:1). The best part of being god is...turn this over...the best part of being god is...turn this over...the best part of being god is...” Do you get it?

Does anyone who believes thinks they made the count? Are you part of the 144,000? Please do notice all the love in these passages...NOT. Me thinks de Sade could have gotten some of his ideas from the bible. ~ Arachne ~ March 24, 2013 at approximately 3 a.m. EST

Revelation 14 (King James Version)

1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
