The Zenzoid Files

Talking with Ted about the “progress” of humanity through history. I challenged the basic premise of the Progressive Lie.

“You know the story about the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years? We today are fundamentally the same fallen, broken people as them.”

Ted replies, “I think there’s a huge difference between us today and the Israelites wandering the desert.”

“How so?” I asked.

“Because the Israelites would go on genocidal rampages and kill a bunch of people,” he replied.

“Oh,” I said, “You mean like Iraq, Afghanistan, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki?”

Ted shakes his head in a manner that said, “Oh, you poor simpleton, you just don’t understand the truth of Progressivism.”

“The only difference between us today and the Israelis of the OT,” I continued, “is that we have indoor plumbing. You’re confusing advances in technology with advances in the fundamental nature of man.”

Talking with Alex and Ted after Liturgy tonight. I asked, “If a government reserves the right to initiate force against people, how can you call it legitimate?”

Alex said, “Because the citizens vote to delegate that use of force to the government.”

“But I didn’t! What about me?” I asked.

“Well, the citizens have voted on the laws of the land,” he explained, reciting the gubmint propaganda pounded into his head in the gubmint indoctrination facility commonly known as “public schools.”

“But I didn’t vote for that! Are you saying I have no value as a person?” I asked incredulously.

“Well,” he began in his most condescending tone, “you can vote with your feet and leave.”

“Oh, I see,” I said, newly illumined, “so rather than address the principle that I raised, we’ll use the old redneck line, ‘If you don’t like it, you can leave.’ I am so enlightened now, thank you for your compassionate and Christ-like wisdom.”
