WARNING: THE FOLLOWING ARE VERY DEEP AND INTENSE WORDS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Maybe I should preface this by saying that what I say comes from my heart. But I ask you, which of you does not speak from his heart? For "out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." Now let's consider censorship on the other hand, which seeks to oppress free speech. What it's really doing is trying to subtly brainwash you and oppress your heart. It tries to control you as if it made you and as if you were its machine. To such oppression, I say what Duke Nuke'em said, "Let God sort 'em out!"
Now folks, I realize I can be a little slow at times to assume the worst about other people, but seriously. Which "scheduled server maintenance" do you think will contain "spam blocker" features that will be used by the government to usurp freedom of speech, integrity of information, and justice for all nations? Which spam blocker will be paid off by the government to make their application report to "big brother" what people are saying? And don't be naive by thinking that this is not a key priority for "government intelligence agencies" already. Look at cell phone companies which must be required to register their encryption algorithms with the US Government before implementing them "for reasons of national security", as if every person on the face of this planet were a big retarded blob of fear. Paranoia is on the heart of the government officials (I don't know what they're feeding these people, seriously...), not on the hearts of the people who had judged that these people were worth electing for whatever reason. There is no imminent threat to your life that will end it prematurely besides sin. Look at what one of the presidents said, "there is nothing to fear but fear itself." Now you tell me that being afraid is going to make you stop being afraid, or that by focusing on fear you will actually ignoring fear. What kind of paranoid shit talk is that? What do you take us for, ignorant idiots? If you are afraid of fear itself, then you are feeding fear by being afraid of something. What a blind person you are! The only way to eliminate fear from your life is to focus on God, who said, "let not your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid, for I am with you always until the very end of the age of mankind," and "be still, and know that I am God."
Let me tell you something, friends, because this must be done as a testimony to everyone. When you walk into a casino, you see the signs of this age, "the age of the carnival" (a coinage not my own). When you turn on the TV, you see it also. When you speak to some people, you smell it reeking on them, because they either are lost in dissipations (things that distract them from God) or they have chosen to act like pagans who see nothing but the nose in front of their face. SO I TELL YOU, do what was commanded in Deuteronomy chapter 6. Write the rules and words of God on their door posts as a testimony to all affected by the stench of sin in that area. On casino doorposts, I challenge you to inscribe "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." and "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." and "You cannot serve both God and Money." Let these words of True Life be inscribed upon their door frames as a testimony to them, as a testimony against evil which uses greed, jealousy, lust, envy, falsehood, deception, paranoia, and all other things rooted in falsehood and wickedness so that it might destroy God's creation; and let those who read those words of Life fear the Lord God Almighty who spoke them to all people so that they would have true eternal life and grow and learn with wisdom, righteousness, decency, true justice, mercy and all other good things of the love of God Our Father in heaven.
If you ignore, you are quite literally acting ignorant, by definition of the word. What you need to do is understand with wisdom that only comes from God WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ALREADY, and then change things for the better, using grace, mercy, and decency, remaining completely innocent through prayer and self-analysis. Talk to people -- "speak softly, but carry a big stick", which is to say that you behave as a righteous man of peace (you will only understand what this means if you already are fully trained as a member of the Kingdom of God which is within you), and you also speak as a man of peace so as to behave according to the infinite love of God, but be a person of action: speak, but only with your heart set on action. The action must be rooted in fulfilling God's commands: love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Now, a quick look at the government, who is saying that you should "be a good citizen" and "report any suspicious activity to law enforcement officials", thereby saying "don't trust anyone but the government". Now, let me ask you: if you avoid people around you and live in fear that is being instituted by the government (a bookshelf tactic of dictatorship to manipulate people into radical mob rule by trying to brainwash them into evil by using tactics of fear and anger.... a tactic which you will only be immune to if you make it a habit to focus on God with complete trust in God through prayer), then how will you possibly obey God's command to "Love your neighbor as yourself." and all those related laws such as the Ten Commandments and "Do not jeopardize the safety of your neighbor." or even Christ's further explanation, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you, so that you might be sons of your Father in Heaven. (God shows mercy to the ungrateful and the wicked just as he shows mercy to the righteous.)" (
http://bible.cc/luke/6-27.htm) ? How can you possibly obey God's words by directly disobeying them? How can you love your neighbor as yourself if you sentence them to persecution or death at the hands of those who call themselves the government? You cannot, and you will be judged according to your own actions. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ who sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; we will all confess even every careless word we have spoken.
Do not be afraid of evil, because it is already defeated by Jesus Christ. All you have to do is learn from God by learning the Good News of the new covenant of Christ's sacrifice and know God through the words of God found in the Holy Bible. Read, understand, learn, grow, demonstrate. Everything hidden will be disclosed and judged by the Holy God Almighty who created it all. All sins will be made known: all evil deeds will cower under the feet of the Lord God Almighty seated on the throne of heaven, but those who have lived steadfastly according to God's Will might be able to stand before the Son of Man and be welcomed into eternal life. All sins against our Lord Jesus Christ will be forgiven, but nobody who sins against the Holy Spirit of God will ever be forgiven, for that is an eternal sin, and those who commit such sins will suffer torment in hell. Those who knew what was right to do and did not do it will be punished with many blows while those who didn't know what was right and did wrong will be punished with few blows. To whom much has been blessed and given, much more will be required, for God's Creation will not return to him empty-handed or without having borne fruit. God's Will is salvation for all those who believe in his only begotten son, Our Lord. God has created, God has borne all our faults and sins, God is with us ALWAYS, God knows everything and is in complete control of everything and everyone because he made everything and everyone, God is all-powerful and the Beginning and the End who created existence (note that although we see existence only as an abstraction, we can still learn from God who created existence; God in his wisdom intended it to be this way, so that we who were created in his image would be able to learn God's commands of righteousness and serve God who alone is good in this age and the next -- if we are worthy in God's sight). It is not for us to know the times and dates that God Almighty has set by his own authority, but only to learn from, love, obey, worship, and serve God alone in utmost priority as first and foremost in the lives he has given us -- to give to God what is God's and justly give to all other people what belongs to them according to the will of the Spirit of God. God's Spirit gives life; the rest is God's Creation which cannot give us life. No amount of eating bread or drinking water will make you live any longer than God lets you live; for there is none greater than God in any way, for God did indeed create all things so nothing could be greater than God, "who is greater than all." All things are possible with God. You should know the power of God and have faith in him therefore.
About faith: if you know something exists, you have knowledge. If you do not know that something exists but believe it exists anyway, then you have faith. Faith must be rooted in some form of knowledge. To have faith without understanding is blind faith and is evidence of manipulation... but evil reeks of its own stench to those who have eyes and ears to perceive it. God is not evil, but God is the only one who is actually really Good. God does not manipulate, but teaches those who are willing to listen to him. You cannot listen to God unless he has enabled you to perceive him first. In order to perceive God who is spirit, you aren't going to use the senses of the flesh (hear, smell, see, taste, feel, etc.) but you will witness God through FAITH in God. Now like I said, Faith must be rooted in some form of knowledge. Who on earth can teach you about the Spirit of God? Nobody. "They will all be taught by God." So you are taught by God and your relationship develops with God -- it is a relationship between you and God alone, it is private, it is sanctified by God's Word which is Truth, and nobody can remove you from God's Hand -- nobody else is involved in your relationship with God besides YOU AND GOD. That is all; there is none other. It's just You and God. That is the relationship; God is standing there wanting to embrace you in warm loving kindness and you will only ever find true happiness in God's embrace, for that is where you will find rest for your soul. And like I said, the only way to God is through understanding God's Words as spoken by Jesus Christ his son who is Our Lord seated at the right hand of God Almighty.
Either you are groping for answers, or you are asking God and listening to Jesus.
