Prayers answered are not always answered

Assume there are two sides to every argument, and both are reasonably held , not spurious.

Argument 1 is X. Argument 2 is Y.

X = event A happened because of c1, c2, c3.

Y = event A happened because of c4.


It would seem that we should be able to look at C (Cause) 1, 2, 3, 4 and determine which it is. But what if 1,2,3,4 are all clouded in mud and not discernible (although each side X and Y both say they see clearly).

What if, just for a fleeting second, we accept X. What do we arrive at as an outcome?
The proponents of X have been arguing that for a long time. I have considered it, thought about it, and evaluated the conclusions. I have rejected this version of fantasy.

BUT what if, just for a fleeting second, we accept Y. What do we arrive at as an outcome?
Well, everything is much clearer, but your life loses meaning and your hate loses focus. It means five years of pettiness and hate have been for just that - pettiness and hate. It means your lives are empty and your hate great. It means for five years you have lived with nothing but a desire each waking moment to believe in ignorance and hate. You have been consumed by hate and rationalize it as a quest for truth, but there is no truth we do not already know, thus your quest is never-ending and all leads are cut off by THEM who control all. You see this as a vision quest, an eternal search for the light, but you have long ago stopped looking for light and instead search for hate and conspiracies. You are pathetic and your existence is pathetic. The ONLY reason public officials every now and then raise your stupid ideas is not because they believe them, but to enlist your aid in the campaign of hate. You are used and they do so knowingly and your obeisance to them is pathetic because you claim that those you seek to drag in to the light have brainwashed so many. The joke is, you are brainwashed and you were given a good hosing down - so good, you have no clue you were even hosed.

You are as useless as trees pulled up by floods or hurricanes. You are the foot soldiers for those who have no original thoughts who drag you out to throw the accusations around and arouse hate in order that they better float their campaigns. You are too stupid to even understand how pathetic you are - you really think these Senators and Congressmen actually believe your conspiratorial nonsense. they don't, but they do know it plays well to the crowd that fell out of the stupid tree and they know you will enlist in the army against whatever it is your hate is focused on at the moment.

This country is very much divided. 70% do not see any conspiratorial nonsense, but 15% do and another 15% are willing to feed the hate. The divide cannot be breached when 30% are raving lunatics who see boogeymen under their bed and aliens absorbing their thoughts.

Put the tin foil back on.
