From the beginning of human history some individuals are born with the predisposition to discount, or minimize, the humanity in others. How to recognize these attitudinal characteristics by the perpetrator’s dismissal is understanding the importance of individualism over collectivism. The name of this attitude is grounded mostly in pride, but other facets of this attitude are also found in arrogance, and of course sociopathic.
Those individuals who minimize the other’s humanity do so without knowing it. It is natural for them to treat and consider others as insignificant. They have not suffered the consequences of there behavior. When confronted with their attitude some are humbled and transcend their behavior with repentance. These are real Christians that follow the guide of Jesus’ philosophy, which they see in themselves what others see when they minimize others. Those who do not repent of this character flaw are the epitome of this opinion.
Christianity is not only a religion, but also mostly a philosophy of living life as God would live it. Because Jesus’ life was, and is, the reflection of God, the Bible is the very word that has been spoken throughout the spectrum of human history.
Cain was the first human being prototype. Adam and Eve were created from dust of the ground, but Cain was created from a human birth. Cain was also the first human being to act upon the attitude of dismissing other’s humanity. Able became the casualty of Cain’s attitude towards others. Cain saw in himself as being more important than Able. Cain found in Able approval where disapproval was festering in Cain.
Christianity should be teaching through philosophy the guidance of Jesus’ life that all humans are equal in each individual’s humanity. No one is more important than another. When so called Christians discount the individual, he then is committing the same act that Cain foisted upon Able. Christianity that is found in the halls of modern churches is not teaching this destructible facet of human behavior because the real Christianity is not easily found.
There are those who have in abundance this type of attitude who hold any government office. From the local city council to the White House. Focusing further of governmental office holders are found declaring themselves as Christian and then outright discounting their constituents. Barack Obama is a name that comes to mind that exemplifies this type of attitude. These individuals are recommitting the act of Cain. Instead of substantiating the humanity in all individuals, they only entertain the constituents who substantiate them. Cain wanted Able to substantiate or bring importance to himself.
Originally, the American government was not designed in this way to be used to gratify some at the expense of others. Quite simply, it is the other way around, meaning, it is having the wrong idea for office holders to parade around in a district proclaiming how well one has done in the name of the constituents.
The idea that those who seem to have disrupting opinions and ideas are really treating everyone’s humanity in equality. Therefore, ideas have positive or negative consequences. It is those who discount ideas that are disruptive. As Cain found the ideas of Able less important and disruptive, than his own, the Hillary Clintons and Barack Obamas of the world find the ideas of others less important than their own. They then represent the murderers of humanity.
When one reads the book "Liberal Fascism," by Jonah Goldberg, he points this out in chapter 3 on page 110-111. He speaks of the liberal notion, at this point in the book, that the fascists of the Wilson era have determined that the state is all encompassing and desires the government to "coerce" individuals to "march in step." Jonah Goldberg quotes an Arthur Bullard's published book entitled, Mobilising America, "Truth and falsehood are arbitrary terms... there are lifeless truths and vital lies... The force of an idea lies in its inspirational value. It matters very little if it's true or false."
To liberals truth and false are arbitrary terms, ideas matter very little if they are not inspirational. They cheer with glee when all individuals are diminished and minimized by their inspirational ideas.
