Summary

It’s their most effective lie, that they are angels of light and servants of righteousness. We can beat it. We can arm ourselves with an experiment: reading national news as an emotionally-removed, neutral observer. I did it and it was a little bizarre.

I tried an experiment of reading news and taking notes as if I didn’t really care about the country involved. Then, I immediately recorded this ‘Cast, to tell you what my pretend, “interested observer” saw and how it hit him (teaser-alert: I made a mental note to not drink the water when I visit there.) Some observations: the United States government only has about 100 people they can ever hire for any position of importance, I guess the other 300 million people are mentally deficient. But, these people they hire seem to be failing-up, even their leader. That seems super-odd because these Americans appear to be well resourced and industrious. How can it be that they are apparently being harassed into following clear-to-fail policies issued by failed people and then defended in their media by guys who actually seem to believe that traveling to other states to burn down their cities is not violent?

What does God Say?

We are cautioned to not call others fools--that is God’s to designate--and the Bible is rich with information on people God views that way.

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction

Proverbs 18:2

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

Proverbs 26:3-12

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence. Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools. ...
