Faith and War, Jihadists and Martyrs PROSE POEM

Faith and War, Jihadists and Martyrs

Pass the martyr, please. This was a thought that made Old Man Mattathias of the "Hammmer Bunch" puke: better 'tis said he to kill on any Sabbath than to et a pockchop or go thou uncut uncircumcise and phuns done in the name of Dr. Zeus!

That was the good puke of the Daddy of the Maccbees Book 1; Book 2, 3, and 4 instead pass the martyr, please. These Witnesses for Joe Hovah luved they widdle torture in the scorcher of those days, and were hardboiled martyrs so's Mom!

This gist of tales needs to be noticed. I am not too worried about what Jonathan Goldstein or Elias Bickerman or Jerome or Origen said Amen St. Augustine about the text of Maccabees, all of them any of them, or of Form Kritik or Source Criticism say about phun Jihad Martyr-dumb contra pork and getting my circumcision amputated: I am trying to find the Moral of this Story (Stories) and in some defiant rebellion to utter words in Age Religion None to improve the story with plots meaningful for being-toward-meaningless relig by being None the Happiness Millennial of this Age New. Dual is the personage of the faith of Maccabees: killin gut or bein kilt no porkchops please. This Reel Gut religion, the same as ever in places west of India, requires success when and only when EITHER you get cruxed or hardboiled or turn Jihadist! Poo I say! I want a relig that does not remind me memorably or eatably to Sacrifice Jesus or Sacrifice for whatever Jesus floats yer boat; the faith I want will see (my Family!) Christian Jihadists kill to kill Q's and jail pregnant girls, and whenever phun gets on the Ole Rugged Cross for a harboiled-- like the Maccabee Pietists (Hasidim) Crux; Onward Christian Jihadists marching as to War go on their Cruxades, here a kill there a kill everywhere a kill kill for Old Rugged Crux remembering Jesus as we eat.

This I proffer: a Kindness more important than Kill B Killed, a Mom who needs more attention than Joe of Hovah, that which grows breasts in men wannabe sissy, and which Lesbianizes. No O other than No-O required, only if and only if I repeat she wants to make 7 Black Ones of course outa wedlock (the new Sacraments, divorce of any heartless espoused kind, laffing when in Fewnrals folk say HOW NATCHERL THE STIFF BE, being getting pregnant out of wedlock with the Few the Proud the Blackos) after them babies cum cums me to pay child support: I want no kids but want her to make widdle bastards for whom I give all as Chile Support. Nobody gets killed in this but the ones (my day must b cumin) gunned with 2nd Amendment Christian Soldiers as to War fo' they-phun.

This is the main dual rule for Christian Soldier as to War: claim that thine has been the Victim Soul, trumping a Trumpt hagiograph if evidence-lacking,  or when taking a bullet that is: GET REMEMBERED; on the other hand Killing the B Killed requires that Cruxian Christians hide the evidence of genocide, no hagiographs for them guys Q and pregnant-girl.

My impression is that Pentecostalists of the mod kind (including those in the Piss Co Pull Crutch social promoted sacerdotes healing with magic they aint-got, and boy o boy speaking in dongs) (including the Southern BaBtists, murderers) (including the Assembly of Gut girls to at 18 find junkie boyfriends with who to do be dopey, then get abortions AND VOTE FOR DONNA TRUMPT MAKING AMERICA TINY AS NEVER AFORE) I mean this mean they seem to mean such that the only way to have a relig that means a Dam to Mom Mary is being nice, F Christian Soldiers as to War, and NOT LOVIN THE OLD RUGGED CROSS.

In such a way, there will be no Apocalypse, as there never would have been anywho save for Jihadists and Those Who Luv Wannabe on Old Rugged Cross. A method, a tactic with the strategists of Bully Grumpy Crossifiers' Crusade, is to stay in one's cell (all bedrooms are prisoner seg) and to masturbate frequently, thinking of the Thou you with a warm fuzzy stalked far distantly a luv that empties of gism and all else that needs to repent for all the dirt you have done to woman kind, all woman kind being Earth Mothers of God.

Retrofitting Faith Warriors/Martyrs(PassTheMartyrPlease) from Maccabees to Here/Now

Prior to this "plunge" into the books "Maccabee," I had been doing some extra-curricular reading that per se tries to connect sociology and social science to the first events of the Jesus Movement; indeed this thrust seems to be vigorous at this time, starting with Gerd Theissen's Soziologie der Jesusbewegung (1977, Munich). Of particular interest among these several works perused was the work of a contemporary (historical) sociologist Rodney Stark, who in his The Rise of Christianity uses the researched material on religious cults of this period with the unfolding evolution of my faithwalk from rather vulnerable itinerate preacher ?Lord? Jesus of wee Nazareth to the Churchdom known in the early Middle Ages and later. It seems to be Stark's Thesis 1 is that the human nature with warp and woof of social dynamics remains essentially the same human nature, therefore that events which have been better studied of late can be used "retro" to the Christian situation(s) that developed from its initial charisma to then bureaucracy. Next, Stark expresses diss of the "armchair sociologists" of the 19th and 20th century (with unavoidable association in me with Emile Durkheim of the structuralists' camp as also to the Verstehen severals like Wilhelm Dilthey and more-prominently Max Weber) and prefers the more atheoretic and more comprehensive/systematic fact/evidence-based sociology, particularly of the American variety of soc. All of this leads me to a point that could channel this self-imposed labor, just prior to Hanukkah 2018, this work on the Maccabees.

I am not so certain that all portions of these Maccabees (4, note well) is completely uncontaminated with what in contemporary culture as "slant" in favor of one's social belongingnesses. Yes I would go so far as to posit that chunks if not most of these documents is "slanted" in the way that suits the particular Maccabee historiographer's "affiliations-political" (and indeed then politics and religion, combined with philosophy, were roughly the same in what journalists and evolutionary psychologists call "memes," the stuff of propaganda, the stuff of rumor warfare). Across the board, everywhere I for-penance turn to mass culture, the insistence on memes that not only are not-evidenced, but frankly are prima facie untrue; here it is commonest that the party/team-players preaching such fictions call evidenced material "fake" when in fact the most-raw fakes are what President Harry Truman called "The Big Lie," which told often enough makes a Credo for the suckers who value the alibi with "team spirit" for their community's ideology. I associate this trend as beginning with the Absolute Believers in Fundamentalism and as well the shadowy news tabloids like Sun (whom a former Mafioso turned fed protected witness told me is a Mafia publication); then there was a media uplift-- with big $ to pay the huge mass-media expense-- toward the Patsy Robberson 700KKKlub bunch,



and the Brother Hall Lindsay's of the for-shure-for-shure Rapture (fizzed in trial 1 some five years ago, remember Wholly RollerRulers of Political Correctness?) Now: Donna Trumpt,



beloved of Rupert Murdock (daddy of that Sun cosanostra-nik media empire of feke-news), and of the Fundamentalists and motorcycle gangsters and Grand Alt Right Party Republicans and rape-dating-anthropos. Now clearly the dynamic goes to those who tell the juiciest rumor (called Conspiracy as with paranoiacs) as Fact and FactAsFake; in other words, nothing matters besides making WordsThatWin, blocking justice, packing Courts with sex offenders we our team can blackmail; and

all that which closes my door but for the cops and the landlord, opens my purse for those beneath social class hereabouts who need eats and health and an agony that breaks addiction to "junk" and which

peeks from time to time at the billboards of "news," never from that cosanostra of the Sun Murdocks, but in so doing, reading the olds of the Bible when the news causes militant angering so here

I think if Stark and the soc people are correct in method, the waning truths of Fundamentalists and the Tabloid Dogmatists and the ur-paranoid Conspiracy theorists will teach me, if the points of comparison are dynamically true in both cases, that what makes Faith Warriors



 Now made-then in Maccabean martyrdom (pass the martyr, please) and those Posse Commitatus Revolutionists of Palestine wee-BCE and

Just before the time when Jesus jeezed around with miracles and conflicted pacifisms, whupping the changers of money Temple-wise who would break a Shekel into farthings 4U, and other ways to just say nice things about your team and just only say bad things about the Diabolics who do not agree with you...

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME, that is, now and seemingly and convincingly Now

Reference to a Set I of Biblio References

I find the work of Elias Bickerman-- evidently a German Jew in Third Reich time who barely escaped the Concentration Camps then-- to have the best overviews, and at the most-digressionless summary of the Maccabean Experience we know from Bibles for Catholics and Anglo-like-Catholics. Bickerman has a student named Jonathan Goldstein who did the Maccabees in two volumes for each for the Doubleday (Catholic publisher) Bible; Goldstein to my taste does not what his teacher Bickerman did-- just give us an equitable, barely Jewish in tendency recap of the Maccabees at ready hand. The biblio for the two Bickerman books I could get in UofLouisville Ekstrom Library (having read these works to point of barf-back with some competence) is in the Maccabees 1, 2, 3, 4 Google Classroom cirriculum at this link... I thin it only "fair play" to those who follow me in this Maccabean pursuit to list ISBN's and Library of Congress call-numbers in references, and NEVER to cite a book unless with honesty I can say/profess that I have digested the book to a sufficent-cover-to-cover reading.

Bickerman gets first biblio report. From times to times appropriate or expansive, I shall cite Bickerman (maybe thence to find some way of code-designation to prevent the dittography of complete citation.

I have only one evident "picture book" of popularization at hand now, and a dearth of really schmalzy pic pic pic heavy goo is fortunately not the "style" of Ekstrom UofLouisville Library nor of mine to hold-- for the U physical book-holding, for me cognitive/noetic "book-holding."

By the way, the Goldstein volumes for I and II will really chew up the reader's time, with much rap about the in's/out's of pure versus corrupt text in ways, and in the problem-- rather like the problem of unravelling the Words of Gentle Jesus from the NT, not just in so-called, unfortunately-so-called Q from Matthew Luke minus Mark, but in "red letters" far along yes into Apocalypse/Revelation said to be dating from about the turn of the 2nd century. I need to read this two volumes with more kindness than my rising tedium would like, for the works are evidenced with close reason, and full of references that "must read" eventually.

More by the way, Bickerman would have us see a chrono source in Daniel 11 maybe 7 too; he wants U to read Josephus Antiquities 12 and 13, and sidelong some sources now a witted near-zero to my knowledge like Polybius and others. Goldstein sees a source, which must be evidenced in later scholarship than Bickerman, in Psalm 79 (here with some intrigue I find a Hebrew word Hasidim which meaning "pious" and translated "saints" in the King James Bible is as well the name of a modern Jewish mysticism praised by Martin Buber; as well, Hasidim seem to be the precursors of the latter Pharisees whose spirit lives today in-mainstream Judaism. Importing finding to me, this genetically distant Jew who follows a stripped naked theologically JESUS! LOL!)

So far, so foul sometimes, I wit that there may me those to gag at the gut fecal lyricism in me that will often wax into ejaculatory prayer as prose-poetic or poetic-attempting-otherwise. I CARE NOT IF YOU, ESPECIALLY THOSE HOLY-ROLLERS WHO PREFER THE BABBLING FORM OF PRAYER-LANGUAGE, I CARE NOT IF YOU DISS THE MANTIC MANIC THAT BITCHES ME: MY BLESSING AND MY CURSE MY ECSTATIC EXPERIENCES ARE, AND B-DAMMIT THESE WILL TIME-TO-TIME ERUPT VOLCANIC OR LAFFY.

Wholly Preyer w Some Cussin

It be assumed that kind or unkind reader (no matter made thus) has read at least Maccabees I and II as in the Roman Catholic Bible or Protestant so-called Apocrypha; this reading on my part took careful reading, ten chapters per sitting or so, but was accomplished within about one week. (Maccabees 3 and 4 are also; and there is an Arabic 5). This done, with ongoing side-reading and drill-down translation being effected, I think I can grab a sense for the motive of both works behind respective pen-persons for I and II; this understanding may develop a measure more or less by continued study, and by exhausting never exhaustive study of Maccabees' several reference works and translations.

The "grabber" for me (what Roland Barthes calls punctum) in both texts was the value of totally annihilating one's foes down to the last suckling neonate after one has won a religious war-- even winning a signal religious war that gives a monotheism structuring extant Judaism then Christianity then even Islam. I am only a little dissed about being naked to show my existing marks of circumcision in "gymnasium class," the Hellenistic requirement for schooling so violative to the Conservative and rural Jews such as the Maccabees were; I eat pork chops wieners and all; my prayers are ejaculations-- not only what some Puritan Anglicans and flagillante Catholics call the prayer of the heart which here hear with me must also occur at that moment when the gism comes out of luv or auto-luv, as well as the time when it will be that in anguish prayer as with then a Jesus sweat blood or my guts are pulled out sacrificially and eaten as rooted in the New Testament word splagmatazoo, compassion thence eating the guts of The Sacrifice which be me, my guts sacrificed, ever and always in my near-zero dogmatics transcendentals faith and worship.

I as near Jew in the Reformed Pharisaic sense don't wanna do without the Hellenists; nor do I want to do aught bad to the Sadducees or fault a Talmudist Reader of Mishnaim in a way that gets nasty. My faith war loses ever to Earth as Mother, to the testicles and  pee thing I amputate for her, MaryMoms all of them who like to pout at every Mensch who throws balls-and-all for naught but luv for Her, rubby dub rubbing they 'tween leggs as Goddess is Lesbian. I grow tits righteousness and shuddup; the pillow talk of Lesbians in Heaven bolting down bolts on Pat Robberson's 700 Klub KKK and self-castrating Joe KKK Hovah. For these presents, I am sure that the Maccabees would dead me well and the Bible Bangers would get in line for a good slice of me to feed to the dogs who beg under the Table for morsels of Lard Jewsus.

I accept martyrdom of this phun sort, then, by the Latter Day Saints Joe KKK Hovahistos, who are most concerned with Q's and pregnant girls and keepin in Place those of Blak who are my colour, seven generations removed from Post-Bellum Liberty Towns for ex-slaves to marry Ur-Jew Salmons StammJudahs in Grant County KY CommonLaw; we Jews of Blak of this mongrel sort grunt when the St. David Duke pukes cornhole us; I hear KKK Crossburners after Hazzard Cuntry High School Foosbal Games wanna put us Jews Mongrel Blak on ThatThere Cross, get me HARD then cut me SOFF afore cut me off gettin on the dubbl-trubbl-criss-cross-Cross...

Therefore, I be Joe Hovah's Witness: the Maccabees and their pitchforks mobbing toward My Place (Patmos) wanna me E Jac U Late!

Prolegemona, Till-When, that When-of-Competence re "Maccabean Faithwarring," Then/Now

I do NOT think I shall be able to present adequate, smartly-done exegesis of any of (the four) books of Maccabees, as found in the Septuagint, for perhaps another year; by Hanukkah of 2019, I just might be able to send-out more on the Maccabees than seasonal cards to warmer acquaintances. I here and now shall dwell a little on why I think this "long pregancy" till the "birth" of this child-of-study shall in fact occur...

I am schooled in the hermeneutics of Friedrich Schleiermacher, having read a couple of English editions of Hermeneutics and Criticism and keep on/at reading the originally-German work; Fredrich Blass also has an admirable excursus on hermeneutics which in every way seems to be based on Schleiermacher. This method of interpretation of text for understanding requires for-study/prolegemona, but when that precedent is accomplished, and more important is a reading of the text in the original language with close attention to textual content and prosody.

I am in the University of Louisville USA 40208/or-40292 studying Classic languages, that is Greek and Latin; my proficiency in Greek year-3 is at A+ grade level; in second-year Latin my offical college grade runs A but feel in reality to be more like a low-B (my prior year of Latin in high school did not take up the subjunctive mood, exceedingly important for Latin syntax, but still at 3/4 semester in "201" a challenge!) To get to a Schleiermacherian excellence, I think next year-- with Septuagint immersion in the four texts-- I will be able to celebrate (as near-dogmaless Christian for Kantian transcendentals witting) Hanukkah next year as here desired. Jerome's Latin (with just two Maccabees to read) will take its own time, suggestably after Latin 301... "there are no certainties in this," as an employer would say for job seekers near the "cut-low point."

I have some biases: "faith warriors" are just as evil as good to me, especially the zealots all around me here "at the buckle of the Bible Belt" who pray certainty that the Russian money-laundering, whore-mongering Mafioso in the "DC swamp" and "swamp-maker" himself will wind up sending Q M2F persons like me to a Siberian Gulag, phun for Biblebanging Fundy Faith Warriors to pray me Fire out of this flesh-side existence. The Maccabees were faith-warriors too, one might think for the best of reasons were faith-war-practitioners. Still, the 'Nam-era draftdodger in me gets puky about this so-called religion, even translatably into Hellenistic times, as here.

Prolegemonon: I am reading probably 12 books on the Maccabees; I am bit by bit "doing" the original texts of Maccabees; I have in-English read trans of all four texts. The blog, here, will abet any (imaginable? somebody out there a-damn-to-give?) who would care to keep posted on this coursework, a work-in-progress begging seminar with Who? that is! There is a Google Classroom course already online to present findings-so-far; this paragraph is hyperlinked to the site, with the near-pathetic chance that one might care for Maccabee-like faith warring, then, and in sidelong ways, to this Trumped-up Church-Military-and-Militant Now...
