The Ontological War

In a previous post, Dr. David Barton: Jesus Is My Bitch!, I explained how decreasing realself people are trying to make public schools more alienating, and a recent decision by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals shows that the courts are being used to do the same thing.

In yet another Ten Commandments’ case, the court, by a 2-1 decision, held that the commandments could be publicly displayed along with eight other historical documents in Kentucky’s Grayson County Courthouse. Religion Clause and the Lexington Herald-Leader both write about the case.

I’m not going to go into the details about the decision: anyone who reads the opinion and the article by the Herald-Leader will see that two ontologically alienated judges wanted to bring about an ontologically alienated decision, and this is what they did.

The point I want to go into is the comment by the ACLU lawyer, William E. Sharp, after the decision:

Sharp, however, said the organization feels it is important to protect the rights of everyone and ensure that government does not become a vehicle to promote one religion over another, or to promote religion generally.

This is wrong. The problem is not that government shouldn’t promote religion or one religion over another: the problem is that governments absolutely should not promote ontological alienation, and without the slightest doubt that is what this decision does.

Most people are completely oblivious of what is taking place deeper within them ontologically, but once we all become more conscious of who we are and why we act and believe as we do, decisions like this will never be made.

The ontological war is fought incrementally on countless fronts, and in this case those who are afraid and ignorant of who they are ontologically are using the courts to get those of us who aren’t to become just as big of failures of self and life as they are.
