Is that what the builder told you?

You’re saying the wall will never break? The fortress cannot be destroyed. The faith of the Jews is immaculate in the one true God?

Huh…

Did you not see this part? The part where he warns about the single point of failure in that entire construct? Now, I realize y’all are illiterate despite having the ability to read and write, and thus entirely lack the ability to benefit from written knowledge and wisdom, but that is no excuse for a national government and its leaders, who are expected to be able to read and understand their own documents.

This is what is says:

16 He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!” 17 But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:

‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone’?

18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”

For those of you who don’t know. The corner stone is the most important stone in the building’s architecture and without it the entire structure cannot support itself. It is like the final piece of an arch that holds the tension between both sides for it to stand unsupported by wooden beams and scaffolding. Unless the arches are all one piece and not stones that were placed one after the other and then fused together with a single binding agent through all of them… it’s going to collapse.

So, I would have provided that single binding agent with the Story I have provided, but you found that unacceptable and rejected it along with me and then tried to steal my Story and kill me, though you failed at both because you are complete and utter fools. Too illiterate to understand my work and too cowardly and weak to kill me.

What is the cornerstone? Is that not Jesus Christ himself? What is going to happen now that you have betrayed his name, abused it, and been revealed to have broken the integrity of faith that was his work?

Your entire magesterium, wall, fortress, cathedral, castle, tower, and everything Christianity stands upon is collapsing and taking everyone inside down with it. You who stumbled on me, who am like the cornerstone Jesus was, only different as the one with the binding agent to secure all the pieces together as one, shall be crushed into dust by me, and everyone else who tripped on my Word, accusing me of false things, failing to understand, and being generally mean spirited fools about it, shall perish as a result, broken into pieces that cannot be made whole again.

When a vase is broken, even if it is pasted together, is in not still marred with the fractures of its break?

So… I know you people have trouble understanding anything people say or write since you are illiterate and only know how to make sounds without meaning, but… it’s my legal obligation to inform you of all this anyway.

I’d say I feel sorry for your misfortune, but I don’t. I hope all of you and your families lose all of their trust funds, assets, prestige, investments, and the main offenders spending their lives in a dungeon at my command.

Any of you people who claim you are the Christ, especially you Trump and Biden, listen to this:

I don’t believe you. You are not the Christ. As a matter of fact, I reject you as imposters. You have no such power and authority.

What do you have to say about that? Does the Christ allow himself to be told he is not who he claims to be?

I am the Christ, not any of you. So there. You will not tell me otherwise and I will strike you down if you insult me, first with a rebuke, then with a condemnation, and if necessary by putting you to death.

I haven’t heard a peep out of you, so you must know me to be truly the Christ. Take a look around you. Take a look at what you have done and are planning to do. Am I not the Christ? Can you even deny me to your own treacherous soul?

Wait… I think I’m finally hearing something from him… what’s that? … Bok? Bok. Bokaw? Bokaw!? I don’t understand. Is that English, because it’s sounds like the only thing you learned after being raised in a barn.

There is a scene in Prince of Tides where the protagonist and his sister go with their grandmother to the funeral home to go coffin shopping. The scene is unimportant to what I want to quote, but it is quite possibly one of the best things I’ve ever read. In any case, the sister is kind of petulant and defiant, rebellious, and insists to her grandmother that she is a lesbian expecting more of a reaction than her grandmother’s amusement.

“No, you’re not,” her grandmother says.

Naturally this infuriates the girl, who is even more insistent that she is.

Her grandmother then says, “Lesbians are from Lesbos, and you’ve never even been there.”

What the clever elder maiden means is, “you haven’t seen enough of the world to have ever met a real man. That’s because they are most often in the trenches, in the wilderness, in the fields, at the construction site, or otherwise doing all the work that you would never want to do and actually go to great lengths to avoid doing. That’s because you’d rather sit indoors in the air conditioning, drinking lemonade, and reading books instead of toiling to exhaustion, your body getting hard and strong from labor, getting sweaty, dirty, and your hands becoming rough.”

Don’t look at me to solve all your problems. I may be a man, but even men like me have limits to what we can do. Look around for others, because we are not as rare as you may think, you just don’t like to work and neither do those girly-men who are always disappointing you with their inability to do anything useful. Say what you will, pout, be petulant, stubborn, insistent on being a lesbian, sure—but don’t be a fool and think there are no men around who can do what needs to be done, because we are a dime a dozen in the real world. So, step out of your delusional palace of boring for a minute and find some people you can bring into the room who will do what needs to be done if you don’t want to do it yourself. If you don’t, those incompetent fools are going to get everyone killed.
