After learning about Farkel’s passing, I started reading some of his threads. I must admit, the man had a great dry sense of humor and knew how to speak his mind.
This thread in particular got me thinking last night…

Thinking more about Genesis and the great solution for mankind, based in Genesis 3:15.
Let’s say you never met your father, years pass and you find out who he is, what his name is, and the reason he left you. How would you feel if the reason he left you was to prove to your mom, you and your brothers that you all needed him? You can tell where I am going with this...
He wanted to make it clear, that he would not tolerate your mother’s infidelity, she decided to be better off without him and thus you must understand how ungrateful your mother was. You now have to carry the burden of her mistake.
Not all hope has been lost, all you need to do is put your trust and love in one of his son’s. You don’t know him yet, but he was a great son and a nice man. Unfortunately he was brutally murdered for you. You ask yousrself, For me?? now before you start feeling sorry for him, a few good things for you to know are that his mother was a clean and loyal woman, unlike your mother who simply was the worst of the scum. He died loving your father to the very end; he praised your father all the time and demonstrated 100% loyalty to him. He is his only and true begotten son and if you love him with all your heart and soul, this will prove to your father how sorry you feel because of your mother’s disloyalty.
Stop and think for a moment, at this point of your encounter with your father.
Can you truly love this man?
Was his decision to leave you sound and loving?
Did you really learn your lesson because of your mother’s mistake?
What about this bizarre story about getting to know a murdered son from another woman?
Do you think it will justify your father’s decision?
Now that your senses and emotions have been shaken, your father lets you know that he resurrected your murdered brother. You do not have to feel sorry for his son, simply love him and serve him for the rest of your life because he was killed for you to get close to your father.
What psychological evaluation would you give your father after hearing all this?
The answer is obvious but in the realm of faith and spiritually we have fallen victims to the biggest delusion ever. That a man had to die for us because our parents wanted to know what was good and what was EVIL, although they did not have the capability to distinguish between the two.
Long live the memory of Farkel and many other brave men and women who have stood up against dogma and fables.
RIP Farkel
