American Christianity and The Prison Official are sides of the "give unto Caesar " proverbial coin, meaning both are corrupt. If you the reader feign squeamishness over the, corrupt descriptive, I ask you closely understand what is corruption, thereby disabusing yourself of its self-checking assumptions. American Christianity and The Prison Official both occupy, contradictory and antagonistic values within the Social Contract borne on their symbiotic lack of accountability, particularly critique averse on the anarchistic presumption of being outside of history. In other words, both are accorded deference at the expense of The Social Contract's advancement and development. The mere and simple fact that humanity exists is stipulation that the human condition is inherently and intrinsically good, because the only deterministic value, is that proof of species reproduction, maintenance and sustenance. However on the aspect of the inherent and intrinsic valuation of the human condition and specifically, The National Social Contract, both American Christianity and The Prison Official have a contrarian and opposing view, which consequently means that their grasp is antithetical and corrupt, regardless of reason and logic. Which brings me to this. No one disagrees that The Nations Imprisonment scheme is barbarous as barbarity is understood conventionally and is sadistic. Modern and contemporary human existence however is an expression of a maturity of realization, based on a foundational accommodation of political-economic intentions. Which is where both American Christianity and The Prison official stand revealed, naked in their reaction or corruption, a purposeful or willful ignorance of the objective relationships of The Social Contract. What is comical and subsequently criminal in the literal sense, is both American Christianity and The Prison Official actively undermine and violate laws. Both oppose justice infrastructure reforms while laboring dementedly to carve out self serving immunities. In other words while recognizing the need for reforms, because both purportedly exist as and came into being as reformative institutions they opportunistically and hypocritically oppose it. An inexorable lurch fueled by their inherent corruption.
Okay let's take this recent American Christian phenomena of propagandizing a thinly concealed reactionary world view to prisoners by exploiting the SECURUS provided digital tablet used by The American prisoner to make phone calls and access electronic and digitalized mail.Where the primary function of American Christianity is to serve a steady stream of sermonizing through an App, called PANDO that currently has over 100+ evangelical and Catholic church services and Bible studies. Of the hundreds of hours of preaching streaming into the prisoners brain, not a moment of it ever speaks to the tens of thousands of documented prison official egregious violations, the gratuitous abuse the prisoner is systemically subject to, not only by the immediate prison guard, the maladministration of the prison conditions of confinement but also by the process of the justice infrastructure that resulted the imprisonment in the first place. In other words the function and application of American Christianity within The National Social Contract as a reactionary force, frowning on and in some circumstances actively denouncing and denunciating any expressed challenges and criticisms of the status quo is the same role it plays and plys on the PANDO App to prisoners on the SECURUS tablet, thereby giving cover and legitimizing everything sadistic and barbarous done by The Prison Official by not bearing its witness, which a cursory and superficial encounter with its tenets would recognize as is required and the failure to do so is violative and a betrayal.I care less about the internal dissensions and antagonisms within American Christianity.What this work declares is American Christianity is corrupt as all other aspects of The Social Contract,in search of its own synthesis and redemption and it lacks any exceptional or unique standing to issue any remonstrative pronouncements.Not all expressions of American Christianity are equally insidious and functionally bankrupt,but as a general proposition its accepted conventions are corrupt.Yes The American Prison scheme was borne on the penitence supposition as advanced by Pennsylvania Quakers of the 1700s who were and are still Christians from their relative encounters probably with folks as the reformist,Cesare Beccaria,1739-1794,who pushed for reform of crime and punishment,along with the speculations of a lot of minds whose identities are seemingly lost to history.The penitence supposition naturally arrived with its contradictions,or better put its corruption, some we have resolved,others still remain,being fed by the corruption of American Christianity.I will leave the reader with this anecdote.After losing the November 2020,Presidential elections to Joe Biden,former President Donald Trump was still President till the inauguration in late January 2021and the transfer of the Presidency.However about a week or so before the transfer of the Presidency in January 2021,Donald Trump authorized and presided over multiple executions of Federal prisoners.Now add this,American Christianity with its evangelical and Catholic components have virtually swore that Donald Trump was their God sent.As such there wasn't a squeak of protestation from American Christianity when one of the last known acts by Donald Trump was to kill prisoners.Even if he had the"legal"authority to do so why did American Christianity by being silent celebrate it,when the Bible tells of Abraham bargaining with God,I mean literally haggling with God to spare human life despite and regardless of the commissions.See Genesis 18:16-33
