You do not decide what is good and what is evil.

Our entire value system has been hijacked by the marketplace. Now, it isn't good unless it is rich and virtue consists of buying and selling, earning money and contributing to the wealth of the corporations or the community.

Our media has been entirely taken by a monopoly of forces who share the same agenda, namely the ecapsulation of the American popluation into a virtual reality of their creation, where trivial and useless knowledge is pumped 24/7 into the TVs, radios, and newspapers. Nothing outside of the system is given to us, and nothing of any depth is explored within it. It is merely to placate and influence the minds of the masses.
The entire concept of education has been hijacked from its original purpose of producing citizens capable of governing a nation and weighing, judging, and determining the direction of the society in which we live. Now it is a mill in which to learn how to become service to industry, drones in a society in which individuals have absolutely no control or say in its workings, and all lessons of religion, virtue, and classical understand has been systematically stripped away.
In the place of any real knowledge or science, the masses remain illiterate as their ancient ancestors in any real sense, they can read letters and write, but have no knoeldge of what came before, or any ability to discern the future. They are drones, because they were prepared to be drones, by other drones, who are not able to make anything but drones.

It's not like there's never been a great nation on the earth before. There have been several, and they all follow the same rule. Most of them lasted longer than a few hundred years before they fell into ruin. I don't think evil has ever held such a total rule over a nation as large as America before. That perhaps is a new thing. But how much faster will it break down then?
If the people can't tell good from evil, then they are all given over to evil and it won't be long before they fall into ruin.
�explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that �evil� is a by-product of nature�s strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric.

How do you vote? By flipping coins? What does a judge do? Consult entrails and soothsayers? You insult the human mind with such a statement.
In truth, only evildoers say that there is no good and no evil. It is one of their biggest lies, and should be taken and siezed wherever it is found.
Determining good from evil is the most basic form of human intelligence. Everything is built on it, and nothing exists outside of that foundation except shaitan, and even he/she/they knows the difference.
Sex drugs and rock and roll eh? What an ignorant people said this. Didn't you know that these things are vices, and were considered vices by our own ancestors? How is it that you have made a vice into a good thing? You have all rebelled against your parents, and now you face the consequences.
You excuse your foolishness and commit evil with both of your eyes open. You call this a culture? Did you think that sex drugs and rock n roll were great cultural achievements? Are they not the same corruptions that have always existed among mankind? You have earned every curse given to you for corrupting your own offspring.
I judge this culture to be evil. I judge everything that comes from it to be evil. It's TV, the music, the sex, the drugs, the drunken parties of youth, the marketplace, the economy, everything about it is the lust of evil people, and serves nothing but the same old enemy of our race, shaitan and his demons.
The only jewel remaining in it is science, and her crowned head of inquiry, for it has achieved what all other men could not do. Yet I cannot justify the rest of the nation beased upon the achievements of science, for one far outweighs the other, and will eventually overtake and destroy it and all its virtues.
Judge your own nation, Americans, don't give me this "don't judge" crap, you aren't religious people. So don't quote Jesus and scriptures to me, I know you are not really following them. Judgment is a civil matter, and I insist that you be men about it.
I don't wanna beat the tar baby any mo.
Muhammed said it best: "Your foul deeds will seem fair to you."
If you call me a Muslim, you are complimenting my Father, My Mother, and are doing a good deed before God.
