Earth's Heart in a Cage

[helen99]

The version of the new testament that I read long ago says that one and only one crime will never be forgiven: blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

What the heck IS "blasphemy of the holy spirit", I wondered when I read it. Surely it's not some pickled old bum cursing god, country, and destiny.

I think I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is now. Control and domination of the Life Force, control of the Love that binds matter together, control of the planet's magnetic poles, grids, and heart, attempting to place the Earth's heart in a cage. Here are some good candidates:

Patenting and owning of genetic code;
Nuclear detonation (reversing of the strong force, which amounts to scattering love and consciousness);
Genetic engineering - creating life forms without love - amounts to rape and the creation of orcs;
Ownership of life forms, land, water, or air with intent to exploit;
Changing the planet's ice caps and weather patterns with intent to exploit;
Desecrating the earth's polar and equator regions with intent to exploit;

I agree that ownership of genetic code should be given up... it's like trying to assert ownership of letters or words in the english language because you put them together in a way that hasn't been seen before. It's stupid. But I don't think it follows from that that genetic engineering needs to be given up as well.

Here's where the comparison to orcs came from -- In order to combine genes, one piece of DNA is pretty much shot with a gun into another piece of DNA (according to my limited understanding). That's where I got the thing about born in Pain.

When an egg is fertilized, on the other hand, the sperm dance around it and mesmerise it - it's like a game and looks like a lot of fun.

So Fun vs. Pain. Rialian pointed this out to me a couple of days ago.

If they could somehow make the process of GE to be Fun (TM) and include love, then I would not object.

I knew someone who was attracted to Lurtz, lol! If he had not been in such pain upon being born (with a white hand seared on his face), then maybe he would have been a nice guy...
