we are legion

8.31: co.apt/relig/jesus.christ/curing the we are legion ... of pigs:

. I was letting loose with spontanious joking

about jc's encounter with we are legion,

and then afterward thinking about what I said .

. it reminded me that one reason we can't agree

is that we are legion!

. then it occurred to me that this jc story

was a hint, like his other parables:

. curing a madness called we are legion,

and then to have it result in

the loss of a legion of pigs,

reminds us that

to find your strength

asume you are legion:

assume that there are many like you,

not being pigs,

but having a vision of some common good .

[12.21:

. you can't lose the insane guy

without losing a bunch of moral pigs too!

. (bunch of pigs) is a twist of

united under one who is like a pig;

ie, a pig is well fed only to be slaughtered,

the same thing could be said of lamb .

. the literal reason for Christ's slaughter

(death before grandfathering some children)

was that a hypocritical, unjust moral system

prevented him from being fully accepted into his society

due to no fault of his own,

but for merely being the innocent offspring of

a statutory rape (taking of a girl not in marriage) .
