Gratuitous Violence, Punishment, Religion and Family Friendly By William Thorpe

The forces of gratuitous violence meted out as penal punishment, for itself exploit and hide behind civilized morality.  So for example prison officials will say they are all about promoting the stability of family in a prisoner's existence. Because the prison official recognizes civilized morality anticipates and expects it        who will disagree that family is good? So the prison official dresses up their deeds in the language of family-friendly but in practice, the prison official's actions make a mockery of family-friendly.

Now consider this, crime, punishment, prison, and religion have went hand in hand in this nation. Despite the fact, religion has historically been present and co-existed with prison, the imprisonment as equally as it permeates society and it has played a one-dimensional role, it has ignored the family-friendly gambit of the prison official's gratuitous violence meted out as penal punishment. So for example despite the family-friendly pronouncements by prison officials. What we see in practice are road blocks, impediments and obstacles erected ingeniously between the prisoner and family with tacit approval by religion irrespective of faith or denomination as affirmative penal punishment. Which despite the gratuitous violence accepted as a fact of the prison condition we see the impotence of religion to call out the prison official's behavior as not only family unfriendly but violative of civilized morality.

If religion is to mature beyond its idealistic singularity and become materially objective it must confront the gratuitous violence meted out as penal punishment by the prison official.

Will Become Another Problem Our Sapience Solves - By William Thorpe


They terrorize us in life to scare us with death.


The ability to kill a slave isn't a willingness to kill slaves,

The predator culls the herd otherwise it perish, which is what terrorized life and scared with death experience unknowingly,

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself" was mobilization against the other      Yes "We the people......" Government is only possible, our suppositions, keeping us in file in class war life,

So "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" So let us truly go there finally, finally experience the recriminative utter silence, primordial silence of annihilation: when trees fall without sound. Where supremacy presumptions stand laid bare coming to terms with "The devil is in the detail" and that usury, it's derivatives and terroristic valuation and the death exploitation will become another problem our sapience solves,

They terrorize us in life to scare us with death.
