Abraham - The First Documented Sociopath

This commentary is my response to the thousands of news articles
about the endless war taking place in and around a land named Israel.

Opinions, that deviate from the ruling zeitgeist,
always aggravate the crowd.
Germaine de Stael

There is an old Oriental saying: "Man who knows, when enough is enough, will always have enough." This is certainly a profound truth, and describes a man of conscience. The opposite of this would be: "Man who does not know, when enough is enough, will never have enough." Another profound truth, and describes a man of no-conscience, or who's called a sociopath, or more harshly, a psychopath.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:32

What does that mean? Really. Think about that before you continue. Free from what? We tend to think in terms of the body. But what about the mind? What if that one statement told the truth about the past, and that if you understood it, you would no longer be a puppet, manipulated by sociopaths for THEIR benefit. With understanding, you will be on your way to becoming strong enough to cut your own puppet strings. That I can not, and will not, do for you. It is not right for anyone else to cut your strings. Until you are strong enough to stand on your own, and knowingly cut the strings yourself, you will surely fall.

"Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth,
but by washing away from it all that is not gold."

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)

It has been said that if Abraham's story were anywhere but the Bible, you would likely consider Abraham a sociopath worthy of being banished or locked-up. Fairly recently, a mother in Texas drowned all five of her children. She claimed to be a highly religious person, and had named all five with biblical names. Found under a sheet were the wet bodies of Mary, 6 months; Luke, 2; Paul, 3; and John, 5. The fifth child, Noah, 7, was found in a bathtub." She says that she had heard the Lord's instructions and had simply followed them. "Resnick said Yates believed killing her children was the only way to win her battle with Satan for her children's souls — if she killed them while they were still under the "age of accountability," they would join God in Heaven. [She has recently been declared innocent - by reason of insanity. More here.] I doubt any religion could be founded around the murder of five children, so why are many founded upon one man's exorbitant land grab.

It is written that three of the world's major religions -- Christianity, Judaism, and Islam -- all have Abram (Abraham) as a common root. They say these are all “sister” religions. [God knows this is the reason they fight so much.]

Anyway, this commonality has been pointed out numerous times. For example, just recently released, is a hardcover book by David Rosenberg, titled "Abraham: The First Historical Biography.” Another example is that The National Geographic Society featured Abraham in Abraham: Journey of Faith.

Can you even imagine all of the pain and suffering that has taken place for milleniums because of the blind ritual promotion of this first sociopath? And of all things, the evidence of this sociopathy is documented in each of those three main religion's holy books.

Genesis 12 [i.e. King James Version]
1
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

So, Abram, who's been a very successful statue (idol) maker, along with his father, and has had much experience in religious activities, sees a decline of business in Ur, a city "of great sophistication." He then claims he "hears" a voice (or vision) that he, and he alone, of Ur, (1) will rule a great kingdom to pass on to his heirs, (2) will become famous, and 3) anyone who gets in his way will be cursed. I'm not questioning God, just Abraham's claims. Big difference here.

Genesis 12 [i.e. New International Version]
10
Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you."

14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that she was a very beautiful woman. 15 And when Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels. 17 But the LORD inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram's wife Sarai. 18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

So Abram has now broken two commandments: Thou shall not bear false witness, and Thou shall not commit adultery. So he pimps his trophy wife to save his own neck, and gets well-rewarded for it, too. That's a crude way to say it, but that’s the point. This was very crude situation.

Genesis 13
1
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

So he leaves Egypt with his wife, Lot and with even more riches; but that is still not enough. The clearest sign of a sociopath is one that never has enough.

Genesis 13 [continued]
3
And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.


You can see in the above map just how much land has been granted. The curvature of the earth allows one to see about 20 miles in any one direction. Even allowing for being on a mountain, Abraham probably couldn’t see more than 30 miles. But using the scale above, and being extra generous, pick any 50 square mile area. It’s still a very small part of that area, any way you look at it. Would you be happy with a 2500 square mile land grab? But no, that’s wasn't enough. So the story continues:

Genesis 15
18
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: 19 The land of the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

So the LORD is said to have taken land from these ten tribes and tells Abraham that all this now belongs to him and his heirs. And no one else, ever.

What if you went out and made such a claim today. What would happen? Or what should be even easier, go out and say that such a claim was absurd in the first place. Maybe THIS is what the historical Jesus did, and we all know what the establishment did to him! Thus my reason for the quote at the top of this page.

Just for a point of reference, Greater Israel, also known as the "Complete Land of Israel," would roughly be made up of modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Sinai, much of Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, as well as parts of Egypt and Turkey. Will this be enough NOW?

Not for the agents and kings of the Great Red Dragon. They want to "own the whole world in fee simple," and are using people who claim to be religious as their weapon and shield. England did this very same thing back in the 1600s, but that's another story.

Why do I even bother with all this? Because of the LYING, STEALING AND MURDERING that goes on to this day, in all countries of the world, in the name of Abraham! Because that's what the so-called leaders of the Jewish people claim is THEIR land. Because those who just happen to already be there when they decided to once again occupy "their" land are supposedly "cursed." And because it drags everyone in the world into this global economic warfare.

It gets worse, and disturbs me greatly. First, these people receive the Ten Commandments from God [Deuteronomy 5] in which sentence 17 says "Thou shall not murder." Then if you continue on a little bit, you come to this in Deuteronomy 20:16-17:

[16]However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. [17] Completely destroy [a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you.
Isn't that just wonderful??? Kill them all, men, women, children, animals, etc. Just because they don't think the same way. Oh, but of course, we can "justify" this in "fundamentalism."

And those agents [psychopaths] of the Great Red Dragon, the liars who pretend to be Jewish, are using that religion to foment wars as a cover for their attempts to own the earth in fee simple. Even Jesus is quoted as saying these people are "liars and murderers." [John 8] Then He is murdered, and Saul/Paul then corrupts His teachings.

[44]You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. [45]Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!
Even President George W. Bush claims he's on a "messianic mission," and has given out billions to faith-based organizations to gather unsuspecting folks to his "cause." Notice it's HIS cause, not THEIR cause. These folks say it better.

The point I'm trying to make is, after six thousand of years of manipulation and stupidity, can't we stop the lying, the stealing, and the murder of innocent people in the name of this original sociopath. Is not the fighting in Israel, Gaza, Lebannon, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq (and possibly Iran) all being justified on the claims of this long-gone sociopath.

[Updated 3/15/08 Journal Axes Gene Research on Jews and Palestinians

A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal. Academics who have already received copies of Human Immunology have been urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away.

Such a drastic act of self-censorship is unprecedented in research publishing and has created widespread disquiet, generating fears that it may involve the suppression of scientific work that questions Biblical dogma. . . .
In common with earlier studies, the team found no data to support the idea that Jewish people were genetically distinct from other people in the region. In doing so, the team's research challenges claims that Jews are a special, chosen people and that Judaism can only be inherited.

Jews and Palestinians in the Middle East share a very similar gene pool and must be considered closely related and not genetically separate, the authors state. Rivalry between the two races is therefore based 'in cultural and religious, but not in genetic differences', they conclude.

Is not the REAL essence of religion about how you deal with YOUR OWN DEATH? Nobody that I'm aware of has use of their physical body for eternity. So we ALL have to face death, in our OWN PERSONAL WAY. So what is so wrong with respecting EVERYONE'S beliefs on how they themselves are going to deal with their own death, with their body as personal property, and stop the damned LYING, STEALING and MURDERING in the name of “religion.”

And just how would one go about this? Stop financing sociopaths; those who have co-opted your lodge, your schools and your religious group, whatever that might be, and are working to convert each of your groups into killing machines. This specifically includes Christians, Jews, and Muslims, but applies to any group willing to lie, steal, or murder in order to finance and expand their organization.

Enough already. Don’t you agree?
