Thanks dirtnyureye. This just about sums it up.

I lived in Montana and have been to this site. This pit sits atop the hill, and the city of Butte developed from this location and worked itself down the hill below it.

Taking that into consideration, the most dangerous aspect of this poisonous pit is that it's water seeps into the surrounding ground and in all probability is poisoning the water supply for the city of Butte.

Mankind will never be able to clean up this mess. They have a designated employee who patrols the pit daily in a boat to try and keep birds from landing on the lake, as if they do, they're dead.

The water level continues to rise, as the underground pumps were shut off when they closed this particular mining pit.

FYI.

It is very true that there are many, many false prophets. There are many who claim to know God who are not Christians at all, but hypocrites and false prophets. This is told to be the Truth by Jesus Christ in several books of the New Testament and is told in the Old Testament also.

For the purpose of this post, I will use the verses from Matthew 24:23 through 28:

If anyone tells you then, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'Over here!' do not believe it! False messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Take note: I have told you in advance. So if they tell you, 'Look, he's in the wilderness!' don't go out; 'Look, he's in the inner rooms!' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will gather.

The fact is, all the information we need to discern the Truth is in the Bible. The New Testament contains all the words of Jesus Christ on behalf of His Father, God. It is up to us to study the Word and make ourselves strong in the Word, so that if or when someone tries to deceive us, we will be able to discern that and keep ourselves safe.

Organized religion has been used as a political and power tool to deceive and oppress the masses for multiple centuries now. However, that does not discount the existence of the Truth, just as it does not discount the existence of God.

Just because many lie, does not mean ALL lie. Do NOT search for the Truth in someone else's house or words, necessarily. We are to search diligently the Word, pray for understanding, and it is said that we WILL receive the answers we need to understand ALL of what God wants us to know.

This IS true. I have always known in my heart that I (man) was not it. I have always known that there was something much greater than me that controlled the universe and the universal destiny. However, I did not fully begin to understand the Word of God until I started reading it, even multiple times, and diligently searching for God's Truth.

This search, for me, was sparked about three years ago in response to the multiple times in my life that others have tried to use the Word of God against me in order to deceive me or gain their own selfish desires from me at my spiritual expense.

Don't get me wrong. I have had a very strong sense of the deceptions all my life pretty much. The Truth has always been written on my heart and has affected my thought processes. But without knowing and understanding the whole Truth of God, I have been a sheep for the wolves many times while I was growing up and learning about the world.

I got so angry at this continual bombardment of false prophets that I finally decided to search the Word so that I would know exactly how to respond to them when they attacked the next time, trying to use God's Word against me. It has been a long journey; and I have put in many, many hours of reading and research. But, today, God is leading me to His Truth.

I know this beyond any doubt or reproach. I see the hypocrisy everywhere now. I also see the many false prophets. My testimony to this is contained in my blog, among other topics.

Please do not give up God because you are angry at those who deceive. If you do this, Satan may win your heart or you may become a child of evil.

In addition, you may cause one of your fellow searchers to fall with you, which is a tragedy. Many do this not out of maliciousness, but out of ignorance and confusion.

Please search and find the Truth for yourself. Better to search the book that holds the Truth than to ask another who may be just as lost or even more confused than yourself.

Once you begin your search, you will only grow in God's Word from there. At some point, you will be strong enough that you will be able to see God's Truth a mile away. And God DOES give you strength and the wisdom to see His Truth if you sincerely want to find it and you pray for God's Truth to be revealed to you.

I KNOW this to be true, as I did (and do), and God did (and does). At some point, God will probably come to you directly and reveal Himself to you personally. He did to me. Believe me, if that happens to you, you know exactly what force has come over you. There will be NO doubt at all in your mind.

But, you do have to want to find the Truth; and you do have to live a life as close to the rules God has set forth for mankind in order to be accepted by God. None of us are sinless. However, if your strive for righteousness in God (don't lie, steal, cheat, plot murder against your brother, etc.), which is not always easy in this day and age, you WILL be rewarded with God's Truth.

Thank you,

For the purpose of this writing, we must first clarify the essence of God, the Creator of all life.  God is the energy source of the entire universe that is responsible for the existence of all that is.  This energy source does, in fact, work in perfect harmony to sustain all that is, was, and will be.
 
For those of you who need proof of the creation, science confirms that at some finite (determinable) time in the past a universal event occurred which caused the creation of this universe as we know it, including the earth on which we live.
 
This planet sustains our very lives and is perfectly designed to do so, and is also located within a larger unit of space referred to as the universe, which also is perfectly designed to allow the earth to be what it is and sustain life.  This is inarguable and needs no further discussion.  The event of creation is scientifically referred to as the ‘Big Bang’.
 
Taking this into consideration, we find that the scientific theory of creation and the Biblical theory of creation are not in conflict at all, but totally and completely confirm one another.  So, mankind must resolve to quit arguing over this issue as if we are a bunch of kindergarten children fighting for our place in the lunch line.
 
In Biblical reference the term ‘He’ is given in reference to God, although this entity is actually omnipresent, which means everywhere at all times.  This is true of all that is God and all that God created (or caused to happen) in the universe.  Everything that is truly is the result of the creation, which was the work of the universal life source, or God; and this is still as true today as it was when it happened billions of years ago.
 
Again, for those of you who need proof of this, science has proven that everything in the universe is made up of particle matter and energy, that energy being both positive and negative.
 
Science has also proven that everything is connected and works in unison to make the universe and world in which we live the perfect balance that it is to be in existence.  In science, this is referred to as the ecological balance.  It is not only true on the earthly level, but also on the universal level.
 
The source of the universal energy is truly present in all matter that makes up this universe and causes it to operate in perfect balance, thus proving that God is omnipresent and also proving that it is a perfect source of everything that is, including us as human beings.
 
Genesis 1:2 through 5 states:
 
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.  Then God said, “Let there be light, and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light day, and He called the darkness night.”  Evening came, and then morning:  the first day.
 
Science also confirms this theory and Biblical teaching, as it explains the universal phenomenon of the Sun.  The following quote from Wikipedia should help to clarify:
 
The Sun was formed about 4.57 billion years ago when a hydrogen molecular cloud collapsed.  Solar formation is dated in two ways: the Sun's current main sequence age, determined using computer models of stellar evolution and nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.  This is in close accord with the radiometric date of the oldest Solar System material, at 4.567 billion years ago.
 
From this scientific hypothesis, we can ascertain some idea of the actual timeline between when God, the universal life source, created the earth and when the Biblical reference to the ‘first day’ occurred, thus establishing without a doubt that the religious teaching that God’s days of the creation are not justified through man’s concept of a day as is currently used in the calendaring system.
 
This knowledge, as confirmed through science, definitely subdues the argument of some that the creation is not understandable when viewed through the perspective of man’s concept of a day.  This has caused much confusion and argument throughout history and among religious believers, skeptics and disbelievers.
 
Again, scientific theory confirms, rather than conflicts, with Biblical theory and the Bible.
 
My next post will address the further creation of the earth and the argument of ‘Biblical Creation Verses Scientific Evolution.  These two theories are, in reality, not in conflict either, but rather the scientific theory confirms the Biblical theory and context.

The following are quotes from this article put out by a group at USC at Berkeley:

Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:

• Fear and aggression


• Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity


• Uncertainty avoidance


• Need for cognitive closure


• Terror management

"From our perspective, these psychological factors are capable of contributing to the adoption of conservative ideological contents, either independently or in combination," the researchers wrote in an article, "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition," recently published in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin.

These researchers and their data are meant to create a public perception of conservativism as being the enemy. They do this by not only suggesting, but claiming that historical contextual data and the very institution of research confirms this to be fact.

This type of small minded definition and the public perpetuation of it by a major institution of higher education only exposes the very reasons the public should not put any stock at all in their hypotheses, and certainly should not pay them thousands of dollars to have this type of thinking taught to their children as a principle of knowledge. 

I would not give two cents for this type of programming being taught to my child, let alone thousands of dollars.  This type of teaching is not worth anything and should be thrown in the garbage as trash.

This IS the perpetuation of the very aggressive, negative and prejudice creating doctrine that divides the people of the world today, as also in generations past.

These types of ideals are exactly what is poisoning the minds of people everywhere and ensuring the division of this world, all the while they claim to be educating for the purpose of unification.

Lies, lies and more lies. Just another example of the duplicity of the current system of education, government and those who would see the public defrauded rather than tell the truth.  And their sole purpose is world domination and the gaining of monetary profits through deception and prejudice bigotry.

There is a statement toward the end of this article that greatly disturbs me and is totally relevant to transparent and honest government for this country and the rest of the world.

The quote is this: "Kennedy accused Tobin of failing to abide by an agreement to stop discussing the congressman's faith publicly."

The reason this statement is so important is relevant in two contexts.

Number one, and most important, the people of this country, and the rest of the world, NEED to know the true and honest beliefs of the people they elect into office. Without disclosure of the true identity of our Washington politicians, the public cannot make an informed decision about whether or not they should vote someone into office based on the truth.

Being elected into public office in our national government gives a person tremendous power over the lives of all the nation. If a person is allowed to conceal their true beliefs from the public under the guise of public campaign for election, it opens the door wide for fraud and deception to occur at our national governing level.

This is one of the main and most destructive issues concerning the corruption of our national governing entity. This is evidenced clearly and most recently by the worldwide scandal and duplicitous and corrupt administration of George Bush and Dick Cheney.

That administration did more harm to this country than any recent administration, and has propelled the country into its current state of financial disarray. This national tragedy has affected a world financial crisis of the greatest magnitute.

It IS imperative that the people know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the people we elect into power on our behalf.

If politicians are allowed to lye to their constituents simply to get elected, this makes a complete and total farce of the basic principles of the American Constitution and all that this country says it stands for as a world leader.

Lying ensures we will have dishonest government. This IS manifest, and has been since the inception of this government over 200 years ago.

Number two, there is a general, legally enforced understanding that what an individual tells his priest or attorney is to be kept secret and confidential, never to be revealed by those entities.  This means that lies can be kept from the people of the world by the two most important and generally respected institutions of mankind, the clergy which are entrusted to spread the Word of God to all earthly inhabitants and the justice system which judges all and administers supposed justice worldwide over all its inhabitants.

This also is a contradiction and is as duplicitous as it gets, exposing the filth and lies of both institutions of the supposed kings and rulers of mankind on God's behalf, justice and religion.

If priests and attorneys can know the truth, yet withhold it from the people under the guise of protection and confidentiality, it ensures that the truth will never be told, exposing the filth, uncleanliness and deception of both institutions worldwide. 

It is time for their reign to end forever.  They are corrupt and deceptive and have defiled all that is good and righteous according to God, leading the world toward certain disaster, death and destruction.

The 'Great Mystery' is revealed.  Praise God Almighty in heaven above!!!  Thank you Jesus Christ for your salvation!!!  It is time for the New Kingdom of God to rule.
