He's Talking About God Again - Sort of

I read this post on "Above Top Secret" where someone asked why the Mormons had all of this intricate information, the most of anyone, on genealogies. Great question. I don't have any idea what the answer is. It does seem odd.

The Mormons have built a vault inside a mountain to protect the information. Why do they need a vault? Do they think God does not know everyone of us? I am pretty sure that he does. It says he wove us in our mother's wombs. God never really liked census' anyways. He commanded the Israelites to NOT count the priests when they did the census. The original census that he commanded was for the purpose of evenly dividing up all the land based on the number of people. The Levites were apportioned theirs differently.

The other census in the bible that I recall resulted in Mary and Joseph going to Bethlehem. In the Bible, other than when God had the people count the Israelites, that a census was done it tended to be for bad reasons. In fact the Bible says that the Israelites would be too big to be counted, so why are the Mormons trying to count them?

Why do we need a census today? Why does the government care who lives in which house? Why does Bill Gates want to register every child in the WORLD via cell phone. What is it with this counting thing? I ask this question to Christians and non-Christians. Why do people want a listing of everybody in the world. It is only good for one second and then there are more people being born and dying. It will never be an accurate count. So why count?

Let me show how silly this is. If you knew the exact number of people on earth today and tomorrow you were off by a million, what difference would it make? Do you have any idea of how much time and money and effort is wasted counting people? The Mormon church alone has 25,000 people tracing genealogies. Sure sounds like someone believes counting us is worthwhile and they want to be exact.

On a side note. I read this article where it talked about the fact that scientists can now bar code embryos. The explanation is that they want to make sure that test tube babies have the correct embryo. Sounds like a big lie to me. Sounds like more counting. I like math and have been asked to write a book on accounting (I am not an accountant) but I HATE algebra. I only like parts of mathematics. I am not into registering babies like they were products.

In law there are two types of property, real property and chattel. Real property stays in place, chattel moves. We are chattel. To own something you must be able to register it so that other people know you own it. The reason you count people is to show who owns who.

Let me ask a question. When have you ever benefited from being registered with the government? Don't misunderstand, I did not ask about being tested, I asked about being numbered. When has the government done that to help you rather than control you?

I heard a brilliant man once, he said "look at how you appear on a map, it determines what you get". More or less that is what he said. Why are you being counted? It determines what you get. Be well.
