<strong>When we were torturing the son of a carpenter in Jerusalem, we did not know that, in reality, we were enriching uranium. Uranium is enriched by a two-year long bombardment, it is "tortured" to such degree that one more blast results in an explosion. The suffering of Christ in the torture chamber and His agony on the cross were the equivalent of that process. His Resurrection was the first recorded liberation of energy-Spirit from matter-body.</p>
<p>The Resurrection of Christ was the split of the atom. It was a release of an energy of such a magnitude that thousands of years later we are still experiencing the aftermath of that silent blast in Jerusalem.</p>
<p>The Mystery of Nuclear Liberation, as any other mystery, can be used for good or for evil, yet, the fascination with the process remains the same. The power of spirit liberated from the bondage of matter is the most essential human drive. It is a power that moves individuals and civilizations. It is a power that inspires artists.<br />
It is a power that states strive for.<br />
And it is a power that every Christian possesses by the virtue of his and her faith.</p>
<p>Today, the fanatics all over the world enslaved by their hateful ignorance hope to find freedom and acceptance by becoming a part of the great Mystery of the Suffering Atom. The deeper drive in the race for the nuclear weapons is a subconscious and unrealized yearning for the liberating Grace of the Savior. The more one rejects the Truth the more one looks for the substitute for its Mystery.</p>
<p>Yet, this subsitiute for the Mystery will turn destructive for anyone who does not comprehend the meaning of the Liberation. The path to the Liberation is open to every race and every country in the world, but unless it is walked in love and for love it will lead to destruction and misery. It is only Love that can arm one with the real Power of the Splitting Nucleus and unless one understands the purpose of having the power one will abuse the power and destroy itself and, therefore, is not supposed to have the Power.</p>
<p>The nuclear bomb is a materialized Resurrection. As the hate-mongers all over the world, by all means, attempt to obtain the Spiritual Power to terrify the world, we, Christians, should know that every one of us, by the Grace of our Lord, already has that Power to heal and liberate. We should know that everyone of us is a nuclear bomb ready to explode and transform the world in the name of Love. It is through His Sacrifice and Mercy that we inherited the real power to split the atom and to be free from the bondage of material ignorance.<br />
It is our power and no one can frighten us by it or take it away from us.</strong></div>

<div class="post-body">
<p> </p>
<p>Did you notice that each time anyone prayers in the movies or TV something of a terrible nature, usually involving a lots of blood, happens to him or her?</p>
<p>Just observe: Whenever someone decides to communicate with God in the movies, he or she or it is being shot, beaten, blown, stabbed, slashed, cracked, squashed by anything from a vampire to a terrorist, an organized crime, a car, a truck, a psychopath, a UFO, a meteor, the IRA member, serial killer, samurai sword, baseball bat or anything animated or inanimate that can hit, destroy, demolish, decompose, explode, mutilate in short make sure that you get a very subliminal message that prayer is a phony exercise that ultimately cannot protect you from the reality of life( such as, for example, a meteor hitting a praying man in his basement followed with an attack by a serial killer who drives a truck and has a baseball bat.)</p>
<p>It seems that prayer is the most dangerous human activity on the screen. See it for yourself- see how many movies you can count from 1971 till present where a hero was able to complete any prayer, even a short one, without being interrupted by some kind of a life threatening attack. It becomes habitual, as soon as someone kneels to pray you know something bloody is on the way to happen.</p>
<p>So after seeing a good man after a good woman being attacked by some horrifying creature as they pray, one simply concludes that prayer is a dangerous activity, to be avoided, at least in public.</p>
<p>Our image addicted mind being systematically exposed to the variation of the same image, subconsciously creates a simple defense mechanism such as "prayer=danger" or "prayer is no safe." The more natural is the image of someone's skull cracked during the prayer becomes to us, the more the defense mechanism solidifies itself regardless of our will.</p>
<p>We are being indoctrinated image by image, here and there. Even the knowledge of it being a dirty manipulation cannot resist to the logic of an imaginative mind, which believes what is sees not what it’s told.</p>
<p>Well, one can argue that it is not done on purpose but simply to add a dramatic effect. It makes sense within the pathetic frames of our contemporary culture in which the only way to achieve anything close to dramatic is by mocking the sacred and meaningful and the only way to be courageous is by ridiculing a sacred ritual or a tradition, (with no repercussions, by the way.)</p>
<p>Although this makes sense, as most of the things that make sense, it is not true.</p>
<p>Prayer used to be considered a powerful weapon against everything evil, in fact, the only secure weapon in the uncertain universe of ours. Prayer used to be the impregnable castle of our higher being, a castle where we could safely retreat from the injustice and vanity of the world. It used to be until 1960's when the movie industry in the United States of America became fatally infected by the virus of Christ-hating Communist scum imported from the Soviet Union. The virus was injected in 30's and it took only three decades to fully destroy the immature and naive imaginative immunity of American cinema.</p>
<p>Lenin said,” Cinema is the most important among the arts" and this, in turn, became a mantra of Communist infiltrators who systematically invaded Hollywood in 1930's.<br />
The atheist-demons demolished thousands of churches and hanged clergymen all over Russia. Within twenty years after the revolution, the Bolsheviks successfully removed everything sacred from the landscape of the religious Russian soul. Now it was time for America.</p>
<p>They knew that America communicated to the world and within itself through cinema. Being a young culture not equipped by an extensive mythology, America, more than any other land, was deeply rooted and dependant on the movies as a source of a national imagination. Movies for America were as important as the Iliad for the Greeks, and planting commies in Hollywood was nothing short of sending a wooden horse to the Trojans.</p>
<p>The scope of the communist infiltration is immense and frightening. It was one of the most effective, cheaply done and brilliant political moves ever executed. In fact, it's impact was so powerful and enduring, that till this very day, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we still see its destructive tendencies rolling in our movies by the inertia of ignorance.</p>
<p>Unbeknownst to many well-intentioned filmmakers, it is still the same Trojan horse of nihilist-demonic religion of ugly antichrists that is peacefully parked in the castle of our imagination. And because some of us still reject our staggering defeat and stupidity and naivety that let us accept the gift of our enemies, they still make movies trying to glorify those who came to destroy us as they destroyed the God-fearing and God-Loving Russian peasant who was not allowed to go to church anymore and witnessing the horrors of Christian persecutions was now afraid to pray at all.</p>
<p>They tortured and murdered Christians in Russia and unable to do so in America, they tortured and murdered them in the movies, in the imagination of sick and hateful writers and directors.<br />
Mutilating praying people in the movies was just a preview of this gruesome historic series. But it was powerful enough to inspire many sequels, till today.<br />
And as well-calculated, in time, these sequels, were not produced by Communist spies but by our “own Homers” who were not only blind as their Greek forefather but also stupid and desperately ignorant of the fact that they were telling the story of their enemy.</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="post-body"> </p>
<div class="post-body"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_-5CxlVDqp1c/RsPYLMNvfRI/AAAAAAAAACA/ezQ6SUeuXEE/s1600-h/CHbook.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:hand;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_-5CxlVDqp1c/RsPYLMNvfRI/AAAAAAAAACA/ezQ6SUeuXEE/s320/CHbook.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>by Yervand Kochar</div>
<div class="post-body">In his recent book “God is not Great” Christopher Hitchens writes very graphically about things he cannot see. This work is of great value if one considers reading an appendix of errors and omissions more than the actual book.<br />
Those who think that reading heavy books contributes to global warming can always spare the planet by not reading it. The essence of the book is expressed in its title “God is not Great” and that’s what it is all about.</div>
<p>Back in Armenia years ago, I had a great teacher who said that those who say there is no God think they are God themselves. My teacher was a drama critic. His life was turned into hell by the communist regime for nonconformist approach to …mediaeval Armenian theatre.<br />
The communists also believed that God was not great, that the Party was greater than God.</p>
<p>Christopher Hitchens, though, has a definite advantage before God. God never spoke with a refined British accent as Mr. Hitchens does. (Although for some reason in all Biblical movies Jews, Egyptians and Romans do speak exclusively in the Queen’s English.)<br />
Hitchens may not be saying anything new but he sells it with a British accent and that’s all that matters. This reminds me of another man who speaks with an accent. Hungarian accent. He once said, “Because of the raise of fundamentalism in all religions, now, our old friends, atheists get popular again. But unfortunately they cannot say anything helpful or new. Well, because atheists cannot say anything new”. This man is a bishop of a Gnostic Church in Hollywood. (Not a Gnostic from another ‘God is not Great’ book “The DaVinci’s Code”, but a Gnostic in a sense of knowing God is great since 3rd century AD.)<br />
The bishop escaped Hungary in 1940’s after his father, a count, was shot in the head in front of his eyes by the occupying Communists, who now moved to spread the gospel of God is not great into the Eastern Europe.</p>
<p>So on one side of my equation we have an eloquent, wealthy and famous Englishman spreading the gospel of non-God in a country that relies on God and on the other side we have two foreigners who were persecuted in their countries that rejected God. This is like one of those mediaeval puzzles such as if Cod is omnipotent can He create a stone that He cannot move. Looks like some original thinkers thought that God was probably not that great even in the mediaeval times. This midlevel stuff is really weird!</p>
<p>The problem with Hitchens and people like him is that they are not really atheists or so-called militant atheists. The prove is again in the title of his book. Atheists do not think that God is not great; they think that there is no God. And as the bishop said, atheists cannot say anything new because they adhere to a closed argument. There is no God. Period. What else?<br />
But once you say that God is not great you acknowledge God, you believe in God. You just do not trust God. You think, as my teacher said, that you are better and greater than God.<br />
I will not go into lengths to prove my teacher's idea, but I urge you to do it yourself, in a scientific, empirical approach (an approach one wishes Charles Darwin and Al Gore would employ in their religious quest).<br />
Observe people who claim that God is not great and you will notice a common characteristic that manifests throughout all of them. They are proud, superfluous and they think they are better than anyone else.</p>
<p>What these people do not understand about religion is the fact that true religion liberates one from the very concept of God and desperate attempts in trying to figure it out. True religion makes one to be an organic and important part of a whole creation. In its very essence religion is irreligious. By submitting to something that you think is greater than you are, you see yourself in perspective and realize how great you are after all.<br />
When you deny God you inevitably place yourself into a position where you have to be like God, you have to worry like God and you have to be tortured with the idea of God and God’s role in society. Like the communists, you get into a paranoid frenzy and believe that someone’s opinion about mediaeval theatre can be threatening to the well being of society.<br />
You need not to have God as unconsciously as the fundamentalist need to have Him. You depend on God for His not being. You become ardently religious and fundamentally annoyed by yourself and your and others religions which now seem to be the cause of all the confusion in your self-centered universe</p>
<p>Of course, again, it all can be far less torturous and could even pass as an original thought when the center of the universe thinks and sells it with the British accent. Yet, once you find yourself in a prison cell and the accent evaporates in the morning like alcohol in Paris Hilton’s brain, just like Miss Hilton the first book you kind of want to open, even if the urge is instinctive and temporary, is the one that says that God is still great… or at least greater than Christopher Hitchens.</p>
