POLLS, STATISTICS, ADVERTISEMENTS, PROPAGANDAS, AND PAGES OR PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE – An Ass-hole tried to use MY BLOG to promote a book on Bible Prophesies. BY GOD!
Polls and Statistics can be rigged to rouse or painted to please, Propaganda is the worst and lowest form of Advertisement, and Pages and Prophesies in the Bible can be used – or misused – to prove or support any point anyone wants or wishes to……
Polls are Propagandas in disguise or Camouflaged Propagandas, and Statistics are always Facts and Figures that have been gleaned, acquired, and compiled not less than a year before they appear or are printed and released to the ASSES – that’s MASSES without the M.
Advertisements show, tell, and print exactly what people want to see, hear, and read; Propagandas show, tell, and print exactly what they want people to see, hear, and read; and Statistics show, tell, and print exactly what is no longer true or real; so Polls, Statistics, Advertisements, and Propagandas are exactly like Pages and Prophesies in the Bible.
Did you know that you could quote Pages and Prophesies in the Bible to prove any point you chose to prove, so long as you knew where to look for it? Likewise, one could conduct a poll that would prove anything one wanted to, so long as one knew where and whom to poll; and statistics is even worse since by the time it appears it is no longer true.
By the time a poll is completed, at least half of those polled have changed their minds; and by the time a census or statistics programme or project is released, thousands of additional figures have either been added to or deducted from the original figures or the acquired and compiled data; rendering the final figures wrong and obsolete, and that is why it is wrong and improper to state that the population of the USA is 260,000,000 and right and proper to only state that the estimated population of the USA is 260,000,000.
Not all of us are Etc, and so forth and so on
I could conduct any number of polls or statistics that would prove anything I wanted to: that Lebanon is the richest, most peaceful, stable, and tourist-attractive country on the planet; and that Darfur in The Sudan is even much better; and that Hamas and Fatah in Gaza in Israel or Palestine are on the best of terms with the utmost brotherly affections; and that Somalia is as rich and peaceful and stable and tourist-attractive as Lebanon, if not even more so; and that Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, KSA, Jordan, and other Arab and Arab-speaking countries have the best 'Human Rights' and 'Women's Rights' conditions in the world; and that there are no jobless or homeless people in any country anywhere on this doomed planet; and that all the news about children dying by the thousands from starvation and other child-abuses, child-molestations, child-exploitations, and child-trafficking are not true; and that…I believe I’ve said enough and made my points a hundred times over! BY GOD AGAIN!
At the time, I could even have conducted a poll that would have made The Americans and the rest of the world believe that HURRICANE KATRINA never happened and that the citizens of New Orleans were hale and hearty, and that life there was normal and everything was all right. If not actually believe it, at least raise doubts and suspicion that it actually happened.
POLLS, like PROPAGANDA, only print, show, and tell the readers or viewers or listeners (newspapers, TVs, radios) only what THEY want the readers or viewers or listeners to read/see/hear.
The USA has an estimated population of 260 million; and Polls poll less than 5% of them – that is if they ever manage to poll 12 million of them – and polling a puny part or portion of the population is poor politics taking place behind pure politics – that is, if there is such a thing as pure politics; in two words: HORSE-SHIT! (I know it's one word)
(By your leave, and with your permission, Mr. Horse)
What do a puny part or portion of the population pnow (know)?
It all depends on showing viewers the right scenes, and telling them the right things; or showing them the wrong scenes, and telling them the wrong things; or showing them the right scenes, but telling them the wrong things; or showing them the wrong scenes, but telling them the right things – exactly only what I want them to see, hear, and read – and asking the right people the right questions; or the wrong people the wrong questions; or the right people the wrong questions; or the wrong people the right questions! BY GOD, ONE MORE TIME!
Examples: John 1:1-3, 14-15 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (14) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father (15) John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying: This was He of whom I said: He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.
John 9: 35-38 – Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" He answered and said, who is He that I may believe in Him?" And Jesus said to him, "you have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And John worshiped Him.
Hebrews 4: 14-15 – Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. I could go on to quote a lot more, but what’s the use?
The above examples all presume to – or are all supposed to – prove that Jesus was divine and the son of God. Now I quote this one and only example:
Deuteronomy 18: 17-22 – (I’ll make it as brief as possible but you may read the whole if you wish) I will raise up for them a Prophet from amongst them and I will put My Words in his mouth, and anyone who does not listen to him I shall call to account. Likewise, any Prophet who speaks, in My Name, anything I have not commanded him to say, or speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death.
The above example points at Jesus and Jesus alone, for it was he and he alone who claimed to be God and let John worship him. All the other Prophets never did or said anything of the sort, and Mohammed actually said that there was only One God and that He, Mohammed, was only HIS messenger. Also, it was Jesus who said: I am the light and the way; no one – man or woman or child or baby – cometh onto the father (God) except by me. His one mistake was in thinking he could impose himself between God and His people, Israel; in the Book of Job, it says that Israel and the Israelis were God’s chosen country and people. Actually, the Israelites were expecting the Messiah at the time, not someone who could be beaten, whipped, insulted, spat on; dragged through the streets, and finally nailed upright to a stake – there were no crosses at the time – which was the Romans’ way and method of dealing with criminals and rebels at the time. The Governor of Judea at the time, Pontius Pilate, actually said: “Leave him alone! Release him, and let him go! Can't you see he's mad?” But the Israelis thought: Oh no, you don’t, and we won’t! They were only obeying God’s law according to their Book, and they meant to see the whole thing through to the last. In fact, they expected Jesus, at any moment, to tear himself from his captors and tormentors and strike them dead – to left and right; but alas! Jesus was not divine; he was human, and only a man, like them. One could imagine how disappointed the Israelis became when he died!
Dear readers and fellow-Apes; first, I thank you for taking the trouble and the time to read my not-so-humble postings; second, kindly bear in mind that the Bible is a book of the Jews, by the Jews, for the Jews; and has nothing whatsoever to do with the rest of you out there and us out here; and third, I cordially invite you to read my following postings: numbers 12 / 85 / 237 / and 250 – in that order, if you please.
