I have learned the mystery of human nature.
It centers upon control. Control and domination
Lies are told, people are killed, money is spent and lost... all
for the express purpose of sating the human need to have power over
fellow humans - either psychologically, financially, sexually,
spiritually, or positionally.
I am neither the first nor the last person to discover this.
This site will expound on this idea of mine, hopefully to the
point of convincing you that control in relationships is the
underlying dynamic of all relations in this life. You see it in
American political bipartisanship, in the atheistic/theistic
dichotomy, the struggle for supremacy between white and nonwhite.
The list goes on.
This site will be the figurative "lone voice in the wilderness,
lifting its voice aloud and sparing not" (Christian readers will
understand this), hoping to warn people that they spend most of
their lives with their eyes shut to the truth of this life.
I continue this thought in the introductions to my pages on
Christianity, race, and computing.
I can sum up the goal of this site in one sentence: I've found
out what is wrong with the world. It is I... and you.
We are evil, we are depraved and don't even know it. We are
good, but we are not "best."
I plan to use the subjects of race, Christianity and computing
to show how wrong we are. Obviously, these are my views on the
world.
