Barbarians Within the Gates | Emanuele Corso



Emanuele Corso -- World News Trust

April 5, 2014

From the start, the human race has been at odds with itself struggling between two distinct polarities -- barbarity and civilization -- the Yin and Yang of of human nature and experience.

This polarity has forever been the root struggle between evolution and devolution, between community and savagery, civilization and barbarity, decency and vulgarity. Naked apes evolved materially from stone axes to swords to nuclear weapons, from animal skins to three-piece suits and private jets. Wardrobe styles and technology changed, but not base instincts.

We are simply well-dressed technologically advanced apes.

While Arizona legislators are busying themselves with prohibiting undocumented persons from using public toilets, a Baptist pastor in Troy, N.Y., is giving away AR-15 semi-automatic rifles for church attendance, saying: “This is exactly what we have always done for the last 2,000 years since Jesus walked the shores of Galilee.” Baptists handing out rifles for 2,000 years! Jesus walking the shores of Galilee with an AR-15! Even religion has been highjacked and far from ministering has served to exacerbate becoming itself an expression of barbariity. This kind of madness cannot be made up.
