Defying Social Norms Instead of Defying Kings.

Many Advantages Can Come From A Single Adjustment In Your Life
All from obeying one of the Ten Commandments everyone else blows off. By being different. By thinking like the Bible suggests instead of blending in to the massive moldspore of mediocrity and choking on the coal-fire combusted of corrupted thinking causing confusion.
Of course, you can't just be different. You want to be different in a preferential way. A homeless transexual is different. (Maybe not as different as she thinks.) But people who have choices are even more different.
Those who are disgusted by social norms, the direction of a society doing exactly what God said it would do, which is to fall away from righteousness until the.
In case you missed the inevitability of destruction, God helpfully sends frequent reminders for you. Reminders which many have ignored, and then ended up in catastrophes like Dresden or Ukraine.
There's 100% certainty that these mistakes will be repeated in the future. But you don't have to be a part of them.
You can do the opposite.
When Thelma and Louise are headed for the cliff, doubling down by pushing harder on the gas pedal isn't the right answer. It's the most wrong answer.
When you're headed for the cliff, the most right answer isn't to stomp on the gas a little less, or slightly turn the wheel a little for a second each week, or listen to a radio station that strenuously disagrees with the direction of the car.
None of these are enough. Radical departure from the norm is the minimum survivable action step.
And if you really want to be successful, you must radically depart from EVERY norm.
For example, forgiving your enemies for the first time in your life. How the hell do you think you ended up with all this chaos? Blaming others gets you in trouble pretty fast.
Maybe Blaming Ain't The Answer
It's part of the answer. Someone has to take personal responsibility to blame a convenient scapegoat like the gypsies who've caused the downfall of all mankind, right? It's their fault, isn't it?
Convenient? Yes. But not as useful as you suppose.
It's easy to blame the king when things aren't going your way. Meanwhile, another man is living under the same king, and living very well, and has no reason to blame anyone.
However, he may find it's profitable to blame the king anyway, if he doesn't care about the cost to the kingdom. If someone is a selfish, evil parasite, blaming the government is exactly what you'd expect him to do. He might even trick others into blaming the government, too.
It's funny. I never saw a Help Wanted ad searching for someone able to complian well, with a degree in Complaintology, and a minimum of 2 to 3 years of experience.
Whether or not it pays in the short term, to complain, it's not a service people are actually willing to pay for.
People with money to spend usually want the solution. Not the complaint.

But wolves do eat the people who deserve to be eaten by wolves. God is good to turn these people over to destruction.
The Darwin Award winners are a set of examples of people who have, often through unbelievable feats of stupidity, removed themselves from the gene pool.
I like to think that the Bible hilights the importance of not being one of them. And among other things, shows you how to avoid their fate.
It certainly promises prosperity despite the hardships of life.
I'm not sure what the number of people think this way. Those who are ok with losing some along the way to fatal amounts of foolishness.
But those who are in full agreement with God always seems like it's closer to 1 person than a billion.
Noah was the only one, as usual. In each place and time, you've got one prophet like Jonah, sometimes reluctantly saying, "In 40 days, this city will be destroyed."
I sometimes see men walking down the street with a sign that says, "The end is near."
They're not wrong. It's just that by saying so, some highly superstitious people very predictably freak out and amend their ways. The end WAS near. He was right. But the reason a prophet is sent by God is because the end is near.
The problem is that people get used to seeing that warning, and start laughing about it, pointing to all the prophets who've been wrong. "For 1,000 years, the prophets said the end was near, and it hasn't come."
They don't realize the end hasn't come because the prophets did their thankless job, and it worked. It saved the exact people who quite frankly, if elected, I promise to firebomb to the maximum extent the law allows.
Eventually, someone like me will be appointed, more than elected, and the fire will come for the wicked.
The unbearable cruelty of the world is the people would rather appear to be nice than to put the libshitards out of their misery for all our sakes. Along with the hypocrites who shield them.
Whatever the masses won't do, and won't even say they'll do, or even hint that they'll do is likely to be the right answer.
To radically depart from centuries of disgusting apathy and fling up a holy, flaming sword of fire into the heavens to dash to death the unbelievers is something that can happen just about any day of the week.
And it should happen more often, IMO.
Because it's a rare, uncommon idea, it's a more likely candidate to be the most correct answer.
But knowing the truth isn't enough.
Knowledge comes with duty, obligation, with. To he who is already given so much, more responsiblity will be expected.
You can't just agree with me.
You can't just appreciate the value and positive benefits of the destruction of fools.
You have to take specific, decisive, frequent and regular action toward ethnic cleansing solutions in order to arrive at a meat-crushing people-eater powered by state-of-the-art machine learning.
Or else you simply won't have the machinery of annihilation.
You can't just agree. You must commit.
You've got to perform your duties to govern over the affairs of lesser men, and to know the fate of all the inferior mortals who foolishly stand in your way. Cops do this every day. It's a daily routine, a daily ritual.
If you want a job done, and done correctly, you've got to ask for the help of the man who does it every day.
Forgiveness seems like one of the things he respects most, wins him over, and turns him into a people-crusher for you. You know what I mean?
Some have that crucial lapse of logic because they fail to put themselves in another man's shoes. And this makes them ineffective persuaders.
We want to hire and promote the police, to ensure they're working with the best, most competent, wisest advice and people-eating equipment for the sake of law, order, and justice.
And that can't happen if you're the kind of person who is most despised by the man of law and order who was born to expertly use force.
In other words, you have no hope of having freedom from fools if you're a libertarian.
You must be a strong authoritarian to have any of the respect of the only people who matter. Those who love you so much, they'd lay down their lives for you.
And it's what Jesus demonstrates in Act 3 of the much-ridiculed Gospel that's been carefully crafted for your salvation by the greatest artist of all time.
Too many men of the cloth are bullshit artists who don't respect the law. You can see this playing out in the book of Acts, with all these anti-Christ monsters leading people astray, and Paul running around trying to strengthen the churches, and writing letters to each of them that endure to this day.
If you really wanted to teach a man to thrive, what would you teach him?
Would you teach him to go on welfare? I hope not.
Going to work to feed yourself and your family, whether you're working "to make someone else rich" or working to make yourself richer, you are better off by saying, "I must be the man who goes to work for me and my family, even if doing so might make someone else richer."
Not every boss is getting rich.
The top salesman in the company might be earning more than the CEO, because his skills and reputation and character are incredibly valuable.
And it's when the salesman is willing and able to competently perform his job that everyone else keeps their jobs. Which is why the best are paid so well.
What the CEO knows is considerably less valuable, in many cases.
What would you tell a man to do to succeed in a the potato field business known as farming?
If you can profitably grow and sell a million potatoes per year with minimal costs of inventory, labor, and seed capital, then you're likely to make more than the man who is more efficient, produces a much better potato, and only makes ten thousand of them per year.

Don't just save your money, like the fool entrusted with a talent of gold.
Make more money for yourself and others. Fully utilize your talents and gifts and grow them.
Does this sound like the financialy advice you normally hear? No. People tell you to scrimp and save and spend less. "Waste not, want not", so many people say.
Not only is does this phrase appear nowhere in the Bible, even the idea shows up nowhere in the Bible. Wasting money on harlots is a bad investment.
But did you know most successful business owners re-invest more than 90% of their revenue back into their business? Why?
So they'll have a big, profitable business.
Selecting wise investments is an idea that IS in the Bible, over and over again.
It's in the proverbs, the parable of the talents. You could throw out every letter written by St. Paul and still know you are to invest and grow what you've got, not store it up. Not save it.
NO SAVING.
The rich men don't save. They invest. Jesus tells you to invest. Not save. Not to store it up here, with the moths and the rust.
Store up your treasures in heaven. Not here. DO. NOT. SAVE IT.
No savings. No emergency fund. Wrong answer. Have faith instead.
Repay your debts instead, and you'll be able to handle the rare emergencies and benefit from the float of investing what you've got to spare.
Invest your own money, time, energy, and expertise. Invest the master's money.
Stop doing what the deceived Satanic world tells you to do.
First, invest in wisdom. Then knowledge, then skill, then services, then people and companies.
Go in order. I put wisdom after knowledge, and that's why I've spent so many years in difficulty instead of ease. Knowledge without wisdom is useless. But wisdom is priceless. The solid foundation upon which all else can be built.
Earn more money.
Jesus certainly tells you the way to operate a lucrative hedge fund. Be more valuable so you can earn more money and repay more debts.
Because this departs from social norms, especially because it departs from our concept of the Bible, you might think I'm out of my mind.
I said earn more. I didn't say hoarde it when you've earned it. Don't try to get rich. Try to get control of as much income as you can responsibly manage for them using your super-human wisdom that comes from God.
Not everyone will do this. But not everyone did what Noah did, either. And so they drowned.
Don't drown in a tiny puddle of debt. Take on larger, growing responsibilities so that you can trust yourself to manage oceans of wealth competently.
We don't focus enough on the most important things. Money is one of those things. The Bible goes on and on about it because it matters.
And there are traps and difficulties along the way, especially if you try to get rich quick.
A fool wants to cash out too soon, wants to "lock in her gains" by selling off quickly, as if it's the the cash that has value. It is an intermediary. A marker that measures an amount of material wealth.
The investment might have more short-term value than the cash, if it preserves your life. But your life has nearly no long term value if never invest what you have.
Some men grow nothing but weeds. Other men grow trees instead.
By getting a few major things right, such as seeking out and landing a relatively high-paying job that gives you great options and choices, by specializing in that field, by negotiating a good salary, by marketing yourself as someone who's not an interchangeable commodity, (just another programmer, window washer, etc.) and by taking responsibility to communicate what the difference is, the uniqueness of your value, you can earn more. Closer to what you're "worth."
Of course, you're only worth what you can negotiate. This is what the marketplace has decided you're worth, and you've agreed you can't do any better.
For example, you might say, "This is the most I can earn within a 15 minute commute from home." If your time is valuable to you, and it should be, then that's a way to measure success.
You're the top bidder for the extra 15 minutes of driving time. If you do the math and say, "I'm willing to buy back my time for $50 an hour", then all is well.
But some people may discover they could be earning $400 dollars an hour if they're willing to work 12 hour days, 1 hour from home.
Or $4,000 an hour if they're willing to work 16 hour days, 1,000 miles from home.
Many people fail to do that kind of math. They just guess. And because they guess, they make uninformed decisions about their life, work, and education.
If they're lucky, one day they'll discover their life wasn't the result of making a conscious decision, but the product of adopting the attitudes of the financially clueless people around them.
To "learn to code" is a bit of a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. You never reach a point when you know it all. But let's say you're learning to get a paycheck. You find out it takes 470 hours of education and practice to become a paid computer programmer and earn some money.
Suppose you expect to work 40 hours a week, commute an hour each way, you do the math and decide it's worth the 470 hours of training. It might even be worth a couple of years of technical training.
But the world doesn't care how fast or how slow you learn. And you don't care, either. You just want the job.
People often lose sight of the goal. If the goal is to get a great job, you don't care how you get it.
As a computer programmer, you pay for certification, pay for materials, and learn on your own.

In the Seattle area, a used car sales trainee may be paid $3,000 a month base salary for his first 90 days, and if he does an amazing job, he can earn as much as half a million dollars per year.
Instead of paying to become a commodity, he's paid to learning a more valuable, more universal and helpful life skill that's in higher demand, and can sell a lot more things than just cars.
If you think you don't have the personality for it, you might be right. The top performers are NOT the introverts.
But what you might not know is the top performers aren't the extraverts, either.
The best-performing, top-earning sales professionals are AMBIVERTS.
And if you're not an ambivert, comfortable playing with both the indoor cats and the ball-chasing dogs of this world, then you've got the wrong personality for the job.
There are many other misconceptions to destroy, but the tragedy is this.
Most people don't bother to learn what the myths are before making their decision. They don't have the mustard seed of faith.
And their lack of faith causes them to fail to look. And failing to look means they never discover they're exactly right for the top-paying job.
If I'm looking for the top-performing person, I want an I/E personality with integrity, some intuition, thoughtfulness and consciensciousness who makes decisions a little more carefully.
By a wide margin, the INTPs solidly outperform their competitors in the business world when they can break out of their personality comfort zone once in awhile and become more extraverted on demand, more precise and decisive as necessary.
They have to choose to become a little more ambiverted than they are to captain a business that earns $20 million dollars per year.
There's no point in giving the opposite advice the the extraverts. They don't sit still long enough.
So I guess what I'm saying is this. If you're a computer programmer, you can probably do a lot better financially, even if you never leaver the field you love.
The richest American was trained to be an accountant. And he certainly did better than his peers.
But not by doing the same things as everyone else.
Hitler didn't rise to power by acting like the masses. He stood out, even among his friends and closest colleagues. They couldn't believe his voracious appetite for knowledge, and the talented way in which he applied it.
Such a man can predictably warp the universe to his will. Which is why our enemies work so stridently to prevent the rise of another one, and cut you off at ever step along the way.
Here's a video with uncommonly good advice about the rewards of behaving in an uncommon way.
You can have more. More safety, security, a more abundant life of wisdom, knowledge, and certainty.
But not by doing the same things you're doing now. There's always another level of refinement, a greater amount of polish.
An engineer friend once told me the slightly better, slightly stronger, slightly smoother ball bearing lasts a lot longer than the slightly cheaper one.
The fate of our people may require us to survive the fall of another 100 empires. Be the better ball bearing to go the distance.
