On the Demonics of Collective Salvation
Theology, History, Law
I know we have “E Pluribus Unum”, (from many one), which is a gathering of individuals into a unified people behind one set of laws. How is that different from ‘Collective Salvation’?
Well in Islam, we see that about 5 to 7 percent of the ‘true believers’ are violent jihadists or terrorists or the ones who volunteer to be blown up for ‘the salvation of the many others’, and they themselves find individual salvation with a 72 year old virgin in ‘heaven’ (according to Dr. Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School).
We also have the concept of ‘compartmentation’, in CIA or intelligence communities it means that no one person or organization knows the whole picture, and therefore if caught or a traitor, cannot bring down the entire group or national security issue. This is kind of a negative application of ‘collective’.
Another is ‘compartmentation’ as applied to ship building. Ships, even the Titanic, had compartments where if one section of the ship leaked, that compartment could be evacuated and sealed which would keep the entire ship (collective) afloat. Of course, the Titanic had compartments, but only extended up about 2/3 from the hull, and were not sealed, so when the ship listed forward, one compartment spilled into another, obviously a design defect.
The collective, say a nation, has so many doctors, lawyers, military, police, business persons. The idea is that if each defends the ‘collective’, they each will be saved. So the military fight, the police protect, etc. The problem comes in when the military uses whatever deception and cruelty to defend or promote the interests of the collective. Iran and Germany focused on the wealth of the Jews in order to promote their wealth and well being. In Germany, they just rounded them up after taking their property and even took the gold from their teeth to promote the ‘salvation’ of the collective Nazi effort. ’Gott mit Uns’ was on their belt buckles as a reminder that ‘God was with us’, the collective.
And so the meek, the unveiled, the western loving and ‘moderate’ muslims are part of the collective that includes the violent terrorists… because they are assigned by the ‘thugology’ to fool and trick and subvert the infidels… pretending to be friends is part of the deception which will advance the intentions of Islam….to subvert and convert and force submission to the world population under the ideas of Sharia Law and Islam.
Black Liberation Theology … like a thugology, is also part of that conversion … to attract Christian blacks into a community, a collective, where the results of their collective action by any means are justified. So too, the New Black Panthers, to promote violence, even this small group… are part of this ‘collective’ which can remove strategically and terrorize others to ‘submit’ and be quiet to the action of the others as they dominate the society.
The recent Beck show with guest of Martin Luther King’s niece was enlightening… with her analogy of a great wealthy person inviting all to a glorious feast. The idea is that each of the guests must individually participate, by lifting their forks, to experience the feast…. that we are each individuals and cannot depend for our ultimate fate upon anyone but ourselves. We can be the poorest or richest, but unless we live within the laws set down to each of us, we risk salvation, and will be individually called to account upon our individual death PERIOD
