Christianity, Cain, and Government

From the beginning of human history some individuals are born with the predisposition to discount others in their humanity. How the characteristics of this attitude are recognized is by the perpetrator’s dismissal of the importance of individualism. The name of the attitude is grounded mostly in pride, but other facets of this attitude are also found in arrogance.

Those individuals who discount other’s humanity do so without knowing this fact. It is natural for them to treat others as insignificant. 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. Those who do not repent of this character flaw are the epitome.

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 was spoken throughout the spectrum of human history.

Cain was the first prototype of a human being. Adam and Eve were created from dust of the ground, but Cain was created from birth of the first human beings. 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 of dismissal. 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. 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 government office. Furthering a focus of governmental office holders is found declaring themselves as Christian and outright discounting some of their constituents. Reverend Jackson is a name that comes to mind that exemplifies this type of attitude. These individuals are recommitting Cain’s act. Instead of substantiating the humanity in all individuals, they only entertain the constituents who substantiate them. The American government was not originally designed in this way, it is quite the other way around.

Therefore, ideas have consequences, and the idea that those who seem to have disrupting opinions and ideas are really treating everyone’s humanity in equality. It is those who discount ideas that are seemingly disruptive who are murderers of humanity.
