That was one of the most deceptive and evil things I've ever seen. And what a convoluted, self-contradictory mess of analogies! Had to LOL at the claim that dissolute living uses up the oil and then you die... just like all those rock and roll stars, right? And playing weird games with English words as if anything being discussed was originally in English, that's an old trick. Prodigal son is the same as Christ? All the made-up terms and meanings in one nonsensical jumble to lead all those poor commenters down a primrose path, look at all the new vegans, yay.
Yeah I chose carefully who I follow and bumper sticker philosophy just doesn't bring me in. I've read a lot from around the planet, and generally the wisest folk are more humble than that, don't presuppose or ascribe motives, emotion etc without learning more first. Strength is not anger. Moral certainty is not preachy. Platitudes aren't wisdom. Insults don't sell well.
May the true God have mercy upon us and enlighten our spirits.
