Jesus said that we would have to choose our Master– money or God.  (Matthew 6:24)

What is happening…again…in China is a blatant example of that.  They are forcing poor Christians to choose between being poor and following Jesus or getting help from the State.  They can have their picture of Jesus, as long as it is hidden away in another room.

Now, it doesn’t matter if one is Christian, or Jew, or Buddhist.  It’s the spirituality that they object to.

This is once again denying people the means to take care of themselves. Like the English did with the Irish fake famine.

Like the Europeans did with the Native folks in killing the buffalo, and then trying to starve them with paltry flour and sugar rations in confined reservations.  Only satan would do that (or coyote, as the native folks would call it).

Only evil beings would give money to those who turn their backs on God.

And if you don’t think this is happening now in the United States, I beg you to open your eyes!  They are going after the ones who speak up against wrongdoing, making them poor and homeless.  Or dead.

Like I’ve said before, satan has been at this a loooonnnggg time.

But a good thought is that the Creator gave us everything we need — we don’t really need money to live.  We were given all the food we could want in nature.  We were given clean water to drink.  We were given medicines in food.  We were given plenty of materials to make homes out of.  Wood to burn for warmth.  The Earth to grow food and store food (root cellars).  We were given beauty to behold every single day.

The problem is that we carelessly destroyed almost all of that…if ever there were a wake-up call to stop it, this is it.  If we choose God, the Creator, we will have to live off of nature in order to fight these evil bastards.  It is imperative that we understand how destructive and wasteful we are.

Here are some videos on living cooperatively with nature.

This video is in the desert and is one of the most inspirational videos I have seen in quite awhile:

Root cellars were pretty common up to the 70s, when they fell out of favor for our “modern” appliances.  Root cellars were dug into the Earth, which maintains a 58 to 70 degree temp year round (numbers vary a little from place to place, but not much).

They don’t require electricity and by owner’s statements, they would remain around 40-50 degrees and the food they put in there would remain good all winter long.  pretty cool, eh?

Going off grid forces one to rethink how important electricity is…and what appliances can be reworked to use manual power instead of buying electrical power.

Here’s another one with Ted Karns.  The only issue I have is that Ted wants to reuse plastic.  I have a real issue with that.  I personally think plastic should be banned.  It degrades until it is nano particles.  And it is made with petroleum.
