The power of words

The power of words.

He who controls the past controls the present.

In the middle east there is a museum that disproves the holocaust.

People say and write that Christ didn't die on the cross, nor did He rise from the dead.


If I can control the past, then I can say and prove anything I wish, I can say the Jews were never in the middle east, I can say Hitler was a reformer who was right in his thinking because I want him to be right.

The book 1984 is a perfect example of this. Those who haven't read it probably should.


In this day and age comic books are becoming literature, why, because it is written down... In our politically correct new age thinking, what I have written is literature. If it is literature I can then quote it in a thesis statement and use it to no end to prove anything I wish. Of course this is ridiculing our post modern age, but there are serious flaws in it. The problem is that I can quote and use anything said by anyone to prove anything. I write a book about Christ and how he lived in a place and married a person, millions read it, and people believe it. Problems with this is that the book I wrote was completely fictional, and if the doubting people actually took the time to research all the facts used in it they would come to realize that the book is seriously flawed, mainly with its proofs. The reality is that the book being fictional was sold as fact and scientific, and the people selling it knew that it was fictional, but they aren't interested in being correct, they were interested in making a mess in the Christian world, and they were allowed to because of this stupid politically correct world of ours.

Humanity used to see a huge gap between reality and fiction...but then, they also didnt know much about the rest of the worlds happenings...
It's not too bad that we trust, it's just too bad we arent trustworthy..
It's kind of like what John Mayer sang:

"..and when you trust your television,
what you get is what you got,
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want. "

This isn't true. Sorry Bryce, but it isn't. Where you fell off the deep end was when you wrote something to the degree of: 'I can write something on this blog and then quote it in a thesis'. That's not true. It wouldn't be accepted as evidence for an argument as it is not a literary text, nor is it a scholarly (published through scholarly avenues) peer-edited text. Also, the comic book thing. Comic books aren't considered literature simply because they were words written on an often beautifully coloured page. Comic books are considered literature because they are part of our modern day mythology. Superheroes and villains are the twenty-first century's version of gods and titans. Also, many comic books (both the fantastically genred ones and the literary introspective ones) toss interesting ideas and relevant topics (incl. current political situations, and moral ambiguities) into the air. I don't mean to be rude or offensive, just saying that I wasn't very happy with this post.
