WHEN WE REPLACE GOD WITH PILLS: Sorry But Guns are NOT the problem.

Jerk Season 3 Episode 176

Send us a text

We're witnessing a spiritual crisis in America masked as a gun control debate, but the truth is more complex and uncomfortable than most people are willing to admit.

• The true constant in mass shootings isn't guns but the removal of God from American life and dependence on SSRIs
• Mass shootings were virtually non-existent in the 1950s despite widespread gun ownership because of stronger religious communities 
• When people embrace sinful activities they open themselves to negative spiritual influences that manifest as depression and violent tendencies
• America's political landscape continually shifts leftward with conservatives now standing where liberals did 20 years ago
• Faith provides a narrow but direct path to healing, whereas many modern alternatives offer temporary relief without addressing root causes
• Modern mental health approaches often treat spiritual problems with pharmaceutical solutions, missing the deeper issues

Speaker 1:

What's up? You're listening to the Objective Jerk and I'm said, jerk, how's everybody doing? You know what? I'm not going to ask that question because I know it's a rough day today in America. I mean, it's been a rough day, it's been a rough couple years.

Speaker 1:

I'm not going to get political. I'm done with politics. I mean I'm not. It's kind of hard to just drop. You know habits. But I'm done blaming politics and I mean all politicians are trash, they're all garbage. Don't trust them. So I mean I'll still vote, but I'm just kind of. You know, I'm just kind of.

Speaker 1:

It's all pointless, right, maybe I'll talk about it, maybe I won't, but the reason I'm recording this podcast is because of another shooting right Now. I'm, you know, I try to be nice. I don't preach too much because I don't think I'm one to preach. I don't. You know, I'm still learning myself a lot of things, but I'm not. This isn't a news channel. I don't follow the news and try and bring you the news. Or, you know, talk about God and bring you whatever this kind of stuff. This is just me.

Speaker 1:

This microphone right here replaced my father in a sense. It sounds bad, but my father passed away and I use this mic because these are things that we would talk about. You know what I mean. I mean, we talked about other stuff too, but I'm able to talk about those other things with my wife and my kids. The microphone is for me to discuss things that I don't discuss with my kids, not that I don't want to, and I do a little bit here and there, but it's like you know, I'm not trying to add any kind of anxiety to my kids already, you know, because they're stressing out about doing homework and whatever. You know, they don't need to worry about the things that I worry about, right? So that's what this microphone is.

Speaker 1:

You know, I temporarily called this podcast mike medicine, microphone medicine, mike, something like that. That's where I got the logo. I kept the logo, but it's just, it's a form of therapy for me, you know, um, but I'm kind of tired of not really saying. I mean, I do say some stuff I guess I don't know. Maybe, maybe what I'm gonna say here, nobody's gonna care. I have what I don't know, probably, like I've said before, like 10 people that probably listen to me on a regular basis. Yes, I have other views and downloads on various things, but I think on a regular basis, I would have to say like 10. So that's, that's nothing whatever. But you know what? I'm grateful for the 10, I'm grateful for those that listen. You know, um, I'm hoping for a little more interaction. I'm hoping for a little more interaction.

Speaker 1:

Pretty much most comments I get are just retarded, trolling or negative. Sometimes there's good ones, you know, and I'm sure I'm going to get some for this, because I don't know. So again, this is not a news thing. You're aware of another shooting that happened. I'm not going to, you know. I mean, I might talk a little bit political, because then you see the comments already on various things.

Speaker 1:

Oh, let's see the gun, what's it going to take? The guns, the guns, the guns, the guns, the guns, the guns are not the problem, they're not, like I've said before, you know, is America a little bit retarded for guns? And you know, maybe, but that still doesn't change the fact that the Second Amendment is very important. But you know, and everybody's like, what's the constant? What's the constant, the constant, the constant. You know what the constant is Lack of God in the country and SRIs. Those are the two things that have changed over the years.

Speaker 1:

You know this individual that I'm not. I don't care that you know, gay, trans, lbgtq, I mean I do, but that's not what this is about. It's I don't know. I was kind of thinking about it in my head as my computer was taking forever to load up the programs and everything, so it's like I feel like I miss out on some of the golden nuggets I might spew while I'm waiting for my apps to open and stuff. Anyway. Anyway, the individual that committed the crime shooting at the church was possessed okay, was possessed by demons in back line. Oh my god, you Bible Th thumper, blah, blah. Look, good and evil exist. God exists, the devil exists. People get possessed. Now, when people think of possession, the dude wasn't you't twisting his head and vomiting and speaking, but he was possessed by demons to do what he did. And the problem is with the gay side of it is that goes against everything that God wants us to do Men with men, women with women, whatever.

Speaker 1:

All this changing of all this stuff is like opening your door. It's like you have your house right, you got your house and you got the doors and the windows all locked because you're a good Christian and you obey and you fear God and all that kind of stuff. But then as soon as you're like, oh man, I kind of want to, I happen to come across some porn, you start watching porn or whatever, and then you start all this. You know this guy oh my gosh, I thought it was a girl. Start all this. You know this guy, oh my gosh, I thought it was a girl, oh it's a guy. And then just slowly like it, just you know, snowball effect, domino effect, whatever you want to call it. That's basically leaving the window open. When you start doing those things, when you start allowing sinful activities to happen, you're opening the window for the burglar or demon to come into your home. That's just how it is.

Speaker 1:

If you read and see which I'm sure you all have, because they're already people are going about it. Again, I'm not like a news thing, so I'm not going to read about what he said and everything like that. That's not my thing. You can find it. But his manifesto, whatever you want to call it, was just littered with. He was mentally ill means he had demons in his life. You know what I mean. They were influencing him. Yes, you can have mental depression and various things from head trauma, but you also get it by opening these windows, giving into sin, allowing these demons into your life, and that's what you just depression, and all this stuff people can never figure out. I can't understand. I have family members that have had these anxieties and these depressions and I still deal with it and I'm not. I'm still.

Speaker 1:

You know, I haven't even, you know, I haven't even read the Bible all the way through yet, like I don't know why. Well, part of it is, you know, I started from the very beginning Once I found Jesus. I wasn't Catholic yet, but I was okay, I knew Jesus was the answer right. I started reading the Bible, slow and surely. I am a Catholic, I was baptized a Catholic, because that is the true church, that's the church that Jesus built, Because that is the true church, that's the church that Jesus built. I haven't, you know, I started in the Gospels, but I haven't. I don't know, like I go through periods where, like, I just want to read and absorb. I go through periods where I'm a sponge. Then I go through periods where I'm just a wet rag, you know, a toilet paper or whatever, not a toilet paper, a paper towel, like I just, I don't know, maybe those are demons in my life.

Speaker 1:

You know I've dealt with anxiety and depression too, my whole life. I never realized it until, you know, and I honestly believe because I just lived in a very liberal, godless home. You know what I mean. Not completely Like, my mother was a little spiritual. She grew up Lutheran, I want to say. I think her grandparents went to church and everything like that. So that was her experience. But, you know, very liberal upbringing. You know, even my more conservative side of family is very anti-church or God or whatever, because they were exposed to Mormons who are not the right. I'm sorry, you know, I always kind of like no, it's the only true religion, true church is the Catholic Church. Everything else is all bullshit.

Speaker 1:

And and the reason things are getting to the point because, look, think about it. So you look at 60, gosh, now I'm getting older. So you know I used to be like oh, 20 years ago, but now it's yeah, like 60, no more than that. What 70? I can't even do any math. So the 50s right, the 50s was the last time where Catholicism was big in the States. Now you look back at that time and you look at shootings, let's say mass shootings or any kind of any kind of like incidents where people are attacking people in mass, whatever incidents where people are attacking people in mass, whatever it was non-existent. Did it happen? Yes, because there were still, you know, demons and all that kind of shit.

Speaker 1:

I hate to make this, like you know, but it's true though. This is one thing I've learned there are demons and the devil are real and they influence our lives in the most minute ways that you don't even realize it. And then, once and everybody's different. You know even somebody who's and I'm not talking like somebody who's really religious and who isn't you might have somebody who's an atheist, but they just don't have that mentality and the demons don't. The demons don't go after everybody. Not everybody is as susceptible to demons and everything. You know what I mean. So that's why it's. But when you live that lifestyle, you're opening that door, you're opening that window.

Speaker 1:

And I lost track of what I was originally talking about because I went off base. But in the 50s, there we go. So all of a sudden, catholicism everybody had guns, everybody had guns in their trucks, everybody had, you know, and but then you start taking away God. Yes, maybe it was more Protestant, I don't. You know. Hate on Protestants and all the other, whatever they're still, but you're taking away God out of the schools and out of people's lives and then you're giving children all these SRIs and all this kind of stuff and now you have what's going on? It's not the guns, I really. It's like these liberals that are trying to, or bots, or whatever you want to call them. They're just like oh my gosh, it's not the guns, it's not, it's lack of faith, proper faith.

Speaker 1:

What I mean by that is Catholicism. Okay, you can't, you can't, I need to look up. I bring it up all the time and I never talk about it. I'm not trying to make this like a religion channel. Maybe I should, maybe that's the way I should go, but I don't, I'm not knowledgeable enough. But there's a, there is a, a chapter with a passage that was very brief, but it really left an impact on me and it kind of helped me realize that Catholicism is the true religion.

Speaker 1:

Because when I read this because it's towards the beginning of the Bible I want to say, actually, I'm going to see if I can find it real quick, because I talk about it a lot. Let's see what is all this. I haven't opened my little Bible app in a while I go through periods where I pray the rosary every day and then I just I don't know something will happen or whatever. I forget, and then I'll do it and then, just so I need to pray, especially with what's going on. No, it's not Proverbs. What story was that? I need to look it up, I need to find it. And that doing it right here, well, um, is not. There's a passage so I read, I'm going read, I'm going all over the place, I guess.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I'm going to get back to that, but I've kind of held my tongue when it comes to the LBG, lmnop, whatever you want to call it. Try not to be mean, try not to attack it. I have family members who are gay. There are many, you know, gay individuals in the world who I've met and are nice people and they're just trying to live their lives and not do anything. That's the way they feel. But the thing is it's wrong. It is If they took a moment to really look at it from that point and be like you know what? I'm going to take a break and not be gay, which I know sounds retarded, you know. So you're going to take a break from being white, but to really actively pray and open-mindedly like engage the topic trying to sound smart here, but probably sound like kamala harris then maybe you might find out that I am not gay.

Speaker 1:

You know, it's just a sin that that you know a demon, just kind of you're something passed down from generations and it just kind of you know, I don't know I, because I'm not trying to act like I'm an expert with it, this is just my opinion. Um, you know, because I used to think like, well, you know people, people are born though, like at such a young age you can see like a family member I'm trying not to give too much information, but a family member I have, like they knew, they knew Like at a young age they're like, oh my gosh, he's gay. But the thing is like, do they really try and like? I mean, everybody here in the Philippines is for the most part, quote-unquote Catholic, not everybody but a lot of them don't really go to church, a lot of them only go on Easter or they don't really live their life. You know the way that really God wants them to. They're not really bad people or completely sinful, like mortal sin type of whatever, but they're still, you know, allowing. You know so when this individual was growing up, there was no push to. Hey, you know you shouldn't, you should really try and fight against this. Prey for God's help and guidance and try, you know they just, you know what happens happens for God's help and guidance and trying, you know they, just you know what happens happens, and that's kind of the problem too, I think. You know, because there are a lot of people who live that lifestyle and they changed, you know, because they found that it wasn't working and you can't just make people do it. You know they used to have those conversion camps or whatever, where you know people were gay and they're like, oh, hey, go and pray the gayness out of you or whatever. If they don't really want to, if they're just like, dude, gay is just a thing, I'm gay, I've accepted it, I'm not, you know what I mean Then nothing's going to happen. You know they have to want to. So, yeah, I mean, and this individual is trans, like a lot of the stuff.

Speaker 1:

Look at a lot of the shootings lately. They've all been trans individuals, because that is a straight up mental illness. I'm sorry, I'm done being nice about it. Illness, I'm sorry, I'm done being nice about it, but they're having problems. And then when the community and when your government and everybody's like, oh yay, let's say you know, trans is good, they're basically just like the devil's good here. Hey, no sin, sin, it's good. Satan's awesome, come on, let's do it, it's all good. That is why there are so many shootings, because the lack of proper faith, the lack of God and Jesus in someone's life, and Catholicism, because part of that is the Eucharist and everything, it's ruining America and there's nothing that can be done about it. Are you going to force everybody to be Catholic? No, america will crumble eventually. It is happening slowly Because, when you look at it politically, the conservatives used to be pretty conservative and then, over the years, conservatives are now where liberals were 20 years ago.

Speaker 1:

I've said that before and that's all it is is. It's like a football game. Right, you have, you have the liberals got the ball, and they keep making yards, they keep gaining, creating laws and stuff that maybe at from you know, on the outside don't seem sinful, but they do divorce. You know, um, having making it so easy to divorce, abortions, all these little things. And then so it just goes to the left, it goes to the left and then, bam, a conservative gets voted in, the ball never goes back the other way, it just stays put. They never revert back. They're like, oh my gosh, we need to stop this. And blah, blah, blah, and then a liberal will get the ball again and move it forward. It's like liberals have the best defense in the world and that's Satan, I guess. I don't know, that isn't something. But you know, the best offense is a good defense, or the best defense is a good offense. But like, as far as you know that goes, I mean the church is winning right now, but I'm talking about the American political landscape right now. It always the ball is always moving towards the left. It never goes back the other way. So that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

America, I've, you know, I've stopped stressing and worrying about politics because it's all bullshit. You know, the important thing is finding and accepting Jesus into your heart, into your life, and being a Catholic, you know, going to Mass, eucharist, praying the Rosary, I believe these things. I'm still working on trying to do it. You know, I don't do the Rosary every day. I will for like a month and then like it's like every other day, then slowly it's like man, it's been a week since I did the Rosary. You know, and that's those are my struggles that I deal with, right, being a Christian or a Catholic, because back in the day, when you said Christian, that was Catholic.

Speaker 1:

It wasn't until what's his face in the letters he put up Luther, whatever, doing all these different religions. He was possessed, he was a demon, and Protestants and everything that came after is all pushed by Satan. Because when you look, I was talking about that verse in the Bible, right? So there's a little story, a little verse, a little, whatever you want to call it, about a man who was instructed by God to go to this town, village and share his you know, the word of God and everything like that. Right, so he was like an early um, what is it when a person goes around and teaches God? He was an early missionary, right, and but God told him do not spend the night with anybody or eat dinner or anything like that. You just you go. I mean, I'm, you know, greatly paraphrasing here, but you just go and preach the word of God.

Speaker 1:

When you've done that, leave town, okay, so the guy does that, you know, he goes, he starts preaching, he gets offered hey, would you like to stay? He's like no, I cannot. And then you know he explains why. So he goes through. He goes through. Well, word of mouth comes to an individual and he learns about this individual who is, who can't spend the night, or whatever, because God instructed him not to. So, when he finally comes to him, this guy tells him like, oh, I had a vision, or God spoke to me and he told me to offer you, you know, food, break bread, whatever, and this and that. And the guy was like, oh, okay, so he does, he spends the night. I think he spends the night. They definitely have like dinner and stuff like that. The next day or later, as he's leaving the town, a lion comes along and kills him and he's dead. Did I miss that part? Well, god told him yeah, if you stay, whatever, you'll die. So don't, he told him. You know, he told him everything, gosh man.

Speaker 1:

And I remember when I read that, I was like dude, like I immediately understood what it was saying. It was. You know all these other religions and all these you know individuals that are trying to say God spoke to them and this, and that they're all bullshit, they're all fake. So I was full on, like Protestant, you know I was reading the Bible. I was trying to figure out maybe a church to go to here. I was watching stuff and reading oh, oh yeah, man, catholics, man, you know what I mean. Like I was, you know, like I didn't understand all that either. And then I finally came around. I'm not going to get into it, but I did finally come around and realize that, oh my gosh, catholicism, that's it. You know, I've been fighting it and trying to avoid it. You know when. That's the answer.

Speaker 1:

Religion, that is just attacked over and over again, nonstop. No support from the, you know, from the people who aren't religious, the atheists or whatever. Oh, don't say nothing negative about Islam. Oh, don't say nothing. Oh, you can't do that. But oh, yeah, get. You know Christianity, jesus, you know, yeah, he's corrupt. You know, blah, blah, blah. So it's like when you see all the, you know people trying to take the Eucharist and use it for you know, their demonic worshiping and whatever this, and that, all these little attacks, all these little things, it's actually pretty obvious which church is the correct church. And it's the church that Jesus created. Jesus didn't write a book. He created a church. And it's the church that Jesus created. Jesus didn't write a book, he created a church.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so if you're a Christian and you're like, you call yourself a Christian but you're just like, kind of you know whatever, telling you Catholicism, and you know, yes, the church isn't perfect because it's ran by men who are imperfect, okay, and the church has been infiltrated by different sects different, not sects, but different, you know, masons and over the years, to disrupt the church, to hurt the church, you know, to make it to where people are not receiving the proper Mass and Eucharist and like they're trying to do little things to ruin it. So nobody's actually getting the body of Christ, the blood of Christ, no one's, you know, confessing their sin, doing what they're supposed to do to be a Catholic, to be saved, to be one with God. They're trying to disrupt all that. So when you look at all that and it's like that's how you know it's the right one, just by that alone, you know what I mean, and so I honestly it's a good feeling. But then it's like I'm constantly, like I said, you know, I forget to do the rosary or whatever. So I feel bad about that, but I feel like enlightened, or I feel good because I know it's correct. You know, I know it's right. You know I remember I, you know, when I first realized because I've been, I have PTSD and this and that and I've, but I've also had some depression and various things younger, and anxiety that I believe was brought on through family and through lack of faith and all that kind of stuff and you know, I got to a point to where, okay, I have PTSD.

Speaker 1:

I had a massive explosion like three feet from me, right and plus other. I mean I'm not going to get into it, but if you want to hear some more stories, let me know. Not that I'm like Mr, you know, whatever, but I have some. But I lost my train of thought, okay. So I got to a point, you know, three years ago now or something, where I was like it, just it wasn't, like things were a little better. You know, I spoke to someone and realized triggers and various things that are, but it still was just not.

Speaker 1:

I wasn't good. You know what I mean. I had suicidal thoughts, you know, because it's just like you get tired of it and you feel like man, I blow up on my kids and it's like, you know, they'd probably be happier if I wasn't here, you know, and this and that I had that kind of stuff. It wasn't as bad as other people. I don't think, you know, I wasn't drinking, I mean sometimes, but like, yeah, I kind of got over drinking, which was good, but it just I wasn't in like a dark place, but I wasn't in a good place, right.

Speaker 1:

And so I was like, okay, what have I not tried? And so I was like, okay, what's, what have I not tried? What, what am I missing? What's going on here? And I'm like God, god is missing. I need to find, I need to build a relationship with God. Which God? How do I do this? What do I do? Right, I mean, I live in a Catholic community. There's a massive Catholic church. There's other churches too, you know Protestant and whatever.

Speaker 1:

But you know, again, it's like I fell for the left-wing, anti-god, anti-church, anti-catholic. You know music, business, film, everything. Everybody says. You know music, business, film, everything. Everybody says. You know gosh, dang. But you know they say that, whatever, and they just poke fun at everything that is, you know, catholic basically. And I believed it. You know it was like I don't, okay. So, with that all in mind, I'm like I don't. I don't think, you know, j Jesus is the answer.

Speaker 1:

Because of just all the walking on water and all this stuff and all these, all these fairy tales and stuff, I'm like, you know, I need it, basic, you know God, right. So I was looking at. I was like, okay, I think I've told this story before, but so, yeah, I was looking at judaism and islam, right, well, judaism, there's like nothing. Judaism is non-existent here, basically. So I was like gosh, I'm not gonna get any kind of support. I was like, well, maybe islam, which is like you'd think is crazy, because you know it was somebody who was islamic that tried to blow me up and and killed people in my unit and stuff like that. So, but that's what I did, right, and you know there's.

Speaker 1:

You know, I mean now I believe that you know Muhammad was possessed by, and all the information, if it's real, you know who was fed to him by a demon or the devil. You know what I mean, because it came out anything. You know what I mean Because it came out of anything. You know it's not just Islam, it's Mormon, every other little thing. So you had Protestants and then they all divided in all the different denominations, they're all, it's all demonic led.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean and most people don't know it or realize it or think it. You know they're trying to do what they feel is best and you know, I think a lot of people you know they're not all messed up, because if they made everybody like this trans that tried shooting the Catholic school or did not try did, then it wouldn't work. So they got to have people that are actually, you know, they feel the power of God and this and that and they actually, you know they feel the power of God and this and that and they think you know it's God and they allow it to continue the demons. Do you know? Then people have no idea. Now some people don't know, like they're, just that's the only religion they've been exposed to, and and they say that you know that they will be saved because they're the kind of ignorance right. There's places in the world where they don't know, but where people have the information and still choose to go the other way. They're not.

Speaker 1:

You know you have to. You have to accept Jesus, repent, get baptized, take the Eucharist and confess your sins and stay a good Catholic. You know it's not a one-time thing. You're not saved, it's work, you know, and that's why a lot of people do kind of deviate to other religions, because it's like, oh, I believe in God, I'm a good person, but, gosh man, I don't want to do all that crap. Oh, I can just be saved once and then I'm good, ah, sweet, and that's what they do.

Speaker 1:

You know, the path to Jesus, the path to God, is easy. It's a smooth path, right, it's flat. You know it's not uphill, there's no turnstile. You know it's not uphill, there's no turnstile. You know it's an easy, flat path. But it's very, very narrow, easy to step outside, right the path.

Speaker 1:

So I don't know, I feel like I'm well, I'm talking for 34 minutes, but it, yeah, unless America, you have to get rid of freedom of religion, you just do. You don't have to make people believe in whatever. But what's taught in public schools and all this stuff is like Catholicism, god stuff is like catholicism, god. If you want to, if you want to not practice catholicism, okay, cool. Just don't be shooting up catholic schools. If you want to, you know, be islam, okay, but you have to do it like your own home. Maybe there's one little building for some people, but you're not going to have these huge communities where the signs are in Arabic and all this. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

Like they just allow too much the freedom of religion. It doesn't work, it just doesn't work. All these other places don't do it. You know you go over to these Islamic countries and it's like Christians are. They have to go to the like secret little homes and churches, and you know it's all secretive and if it's found out they get persecuted. Now, that's not necessarily. I don't think that's how it should be here, but I don't know, I don't think it can be done without that. You know what I mean. Like it's just freedom of religion just doesn't work, because look at where we're at, it's not because of guns Guns have been, everybody's had guns it's the lack of God, the proper faith, the lack of faith and this dependency on medicine because they're so fucked up because they don't believe in God. It's crazy man, I never thought I would say that, but that's what I believe in my heart and soul and I hope everyone else does too. Eventually, hopefully, gotta pray the rosary for the whole world.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, this is a long one, but it is what it is right. Let me know in your comments what you think. Something that's not, you know, retarded. Well, that's not Christ-like to say. Retarded dude, shut up, just. You know, a decent it would be nice to. I don't know, I just kind of want to have. I'm not a debater, but it would be nice to have some sort of conversation a little bit, or just somebody's opinion. You can email theobjectivejerk at gmailcom, make a comment, whatever, but yeah, I don't know, I'm just kind of curious to the people that do listen to me regularly did this episode turn you off? Are you now no longer going to listen to me? Did you like it or was it whatever? Anyway, uh, feedback's appreciated. Uh, thanks for hanging out. Uh, I'll see you guys next time.

Speaker 1:

And and pray for those. I mean, man, pray for the world the best way to do it is through rosary, but pray for the fans or the community of that school and just be, I guess be at peace, knowing that the children as I'm recording this, as far as I know, two children died, but they are now martyrs in heaven died, but they are now martyrs in heaven and things are great for them for now. Maybe that I don't know. People who don't you know they think that sounds bad, but they were killed because somebody, out of anger and hatred towards Jesus. So they are martyrs and that's for them, is a good thing. So feel bad for the families because now they don't have their children, but their children are better off. You know, it's not just you know, hokies, whatever, to make people feel better when they lose someone. They are in a better place, I have no doubt. Anyway, that's it. Thanks again, god bless, and I'll see you guys next time. All right, bye.
