Ok, how does anyone “get ready” for the Really Big One? If it hits California as I suppose it will there is nothing anyone will be able to do about it but hope they manage to live through it. By all means have a disaster plan and prepare the best you can, but for the RBO no amount of preparedness will suffice.

While it may not be an E.L.E. since “family values” of the traditional meaning seems no longer any point in law the issue of same sex “marriage” follows this course. But if God sends the Really Big One making deserts ocean front property I’ll be among those believing my native state like Sodom and Gomorrah was just asking for it and will be part of the process I believe is at work with America being the Babylon of Revelation, losing its position of world power through the judgment of God and thereby not a factor in the End Times whether Biblical, Mayan, LHC or other. And though I don’t hold with any of the various organized religions and belong to none of them, nevertheless I do believe in God and have my own opinions about things some discount as religious in nature.

For the greater part I hold a Biblical view of many things and I believe the kingdoms of the world are Satan’s domain, a point I believe made in the book of Job and Jesus did not refute, and he chooses those he wants to have power and rewards his own. Despite the seeming supercilious lunacy of those in the media while commenting on and displaying the lunatics parading across TV screens I believe whoever is our next president will be a servant of Satan, but then I believe this to be true of most politicians and world leaders.

But even if I did not believe any of the Biblical accounts of Satan I would still believe some malevolent agent is at work to cause so much suffering of humankind. For those that want to discount any belief in God or Satan and believe only humans are responsible for the woes of the world, I don’t see much cooperation among our species that holds promise for an end to such suffering. On the contrary, while we have the knowledge to destroy ourselves and our planet we seem not to have the wisdom among leaders to save either one.

Being only subjects of belief on my part I do not ask anyone to share such beliefs, and try to keep separate those things I know from those things I believe. For example I believe the old phrase “sanctity of marriage” passed into oblivion here in America a long time ago, and I long ago concluded whatever happened in The Fall women were made to suffer the consequences of the “curse” far more than men, and throughout history the double standard punishing women rather than men for being unchaste has prevailed for the most part, and there is no denying the double standard of “women become old and wrinkled but men become mature.” Perhaps this is one reason women are conspicuous by their absence as the representatives of nations at the UN.

It does seem to me America has fallen into lunacy and led of lunatics. To cite just one example who benefits from these “prophets” having a dozen “wives” and dozens of children largely at taxpayer expense? Why should women subject themselves to such humiliating status? And the reasonable question presents itself where are the women “prophets” with a dozen or more “husbands?” Lunacy! The wisdom of “Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander” seems to be missing here.

While my own views are only the results of the musings of my own mind, nevertheless I don’t foresee any solutions for America’s problems being offered by either our present leadership or those now pandering for the White House. At this point in America’s history in my opinion the solutions would be so drastic as to be improbable at best, and though the leaders of America are fully aware of this they dare not speak in specific terms about either the problems or the required solutions.

But maybe the reason the earth is filled with billions of people is God’s way of overloading the Devil and his servants and keeping them so busy they can’t handle all the business coming their way? There might be something to that toast “When you’re dead may you be in heaven before the Devil knows you’re gone.”

Well, I’m not going anywhere for now. If the Really Big One hits I won’t be able to outrun it and whether from the judgment of God or not so be it. I have about as much control over that as I do over the resident cat that ignores or pays attention to me at her will.
