You may have heard of the religious nuts running around and praying at gas stations for God to lower gas prices.  If not, check out Vindy.com’s article detailing it, titled Praying for a miracle at pump.

It’s a fun article to think about, whether or not you’ve got religion.  As a man of faith myself, I detest the idea of religion and the groupthink it forces people into.  Here is exactly why many of those who hold to a certain religion make themselves out to be the crazies they are.  It’s sad.

I’ll assume that the crazies here who think that prayer at the pump will turn God’s head in any way are probably aligned with a Christian religious cult.  Even though I adhere to the Bible myself, I tend to push away the idea of being a Christian because of the various religious cults that use that brand name.  Reading Scripture shows you that high gas prices comes directly  with God’s perfect creation, not from bad people.

Let us recall the Book of Isaiah, notably chapter 1.  Bible scholars of the Preterist variety know that these verses of the Old Testament prophecized directly to Ancient Israel around the 1st century.  Here’s what God had spoken to His People:

22 Your silver has become dross,
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,
companions of thieves;
they all love bribes
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.

The first lines here is important: your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water.  What is dross?  For thousands of years, man had used gold and silver as a medium of exchange, or what we call money.  It was pure gold and silver that had the most value.  When coinage was invented, the rulers of the time discovered they could introduce cheaper metals into the coins to debase their full value.  This cheaper metal was called dross: basically garbage.  When the rulers counterfeited coins, saying a 1 ounce coin was 1 ounce of silver even though it may have been 0.5 ounces or even 0.1 ounces of pure silver, the value of that coin dropped.  People were not stupid.  God provided for the value of the coin to fall, so even the wine became watered down to be sold for what the value of the coin was worth.  Prices skyrocketed.

Why did the silver become dross?  Because the Ancient Israelites were whores, as God provided for again in Isaiah 1:

21 How the faithful city
has become a whore,
she who was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.

RIght before the Book of Isaiah mentions that the silver had become dross and their best wine water, it is said that the city became a whore.  The whore of Revelation (Ancient Israel) bed down with the Beast (Rome) to forgo God’s desires for them as a Nation.  To bring this ancient story to modern times, it is the equivalent of God’s People (all of us, faithful or not) aligning themselves with the apostate State (our governments).  Instead of relying on using our talents as individuals, we attempt to team up to make things better.  Unfortunately, as I’ve said before, teamwork does not work.

So we see today, 2000 years after God’s Israel was destroyed forever, that the same rules are in motion: if you destroy the value of currency, you will destroy the quality of what you buy.  In order to buy quality wine at the time of Christ, one had to spend much more for the non-watered down variety.  If you destroy the value of currency, you will pay much more for a barrel of oil.

It has been shown that a gallon of gas in 1947 was selling for about one quarter, 25 cents.  A quarter in 1964 was 90% silver, with a spot value of 25 cents.  At the time, an ounce of silver was $1.  Today, an ounce of silver is around $18-$19, and a gallon of gas is around $4.25 near me.  Look at that!  Gas is 1/4 an ounce of silver.  It hasn’t budged in 60 years.

What has budged?  Your politicians.  Your evil, greedy, powermongering whores who unite with the State instead of with the People that they serve.

So today I thank God, in some obscure way since I am not in communication with Him, for allowing the laws of supply and demand to exist.  I cheerfully laugh and smile as people who whored themselves with the elect cry over the high gas prices.  I jump and clap when I realize that they are receiving exactly what they asked for!

If you’re one of these people: if gas prices are hurting your ability to eat, if the next winter’s heating oil prices will cause you to be a little chilly, and if your savings are tapped from the cost of cooling your home, be joyful!  God has answered you in the best way possible: you are getting what you deserved.

Do you know when you first whored your life, and acted like the harlot that God called Ancient Israel?  It was when you drove to that voting booth.  It was when you punched that ballot for a Democrat or Republican.  You were a virgin before that first time voting, and you immediately switched from a pure individual tasting freedom to a promiscuous slut who desires tyranny.  You asked for this by voting for a tyrant, and you are now reaping what you sowed.

So instead of praying to God for lowering gas prices, how about turning away from your lustful desire to control your fellow man through your governments?  How about avoiding the voting booths at all costs, and telling your friends and family that you’re honestly sorry for voting and hurting others?  Even if you are not a person of faith, the laws of supply and demand win out in the long run.  Your vote is giving you this pain.  Your vote is preventing you from being able to afford the basics in life.  Your vote is aligning you with those who steal from us all, giving them a mandate to make it worse.

Turn away.  Apologize.  Never do it again.  And to protect yourself from this madness in the future, save 20% of your income in gold and silver.  You’ll turn away from the whoring, and return your person and family and household to freedom instead of tyranny.
