Why I Can't Talk to Project-O.K.C.: The Locked Box Keeps the Good Out with the Bad

Uncle MythMan says ...

In short, because ProjectOKC has surrendered to shame ... and thus they have doomed themselves.

    The facts:
  • Margaret Dietrich is awesome, and I'm not ashamed of any of the many-many ways in which she celebrates that awesomeness.
  • I joked with her (as she often ends up at the places I am), saying, "Ooh, you must be 'stalking me'!" She told ProjectOKC that, & they somehow read it as a "threat."
  • I wrote her a letter telling her that I wouldn't be able to meet her anywhere unless she called/knocked and invited me there (not without doing the research a stalker would do).
  • My style–like that of my mentor–is to leave things open to public interpretation. ProjectOKC used that style to misinterpret the letter as another 'threat to stalk Margaret Dietrich,' choosing to ban me from their regular gatherings at Sauced in The Paseo Arts District and threatening me with 'calling the police.'

Why does that mean they condemn themselves? Because of what I am: a testament to the earthly presence of THE BLESSING; ProjectOKC is too world-infected to know that THE BLESSING is not something that only waits in Heaven (which IS NOT presently a real place anyway).

That Gospel is too huge for the prejudiced to understand.


And–Fearing What They Do Not Understand–They Are Moved to 'Throw It Out with the Bathwater'

    The prejudices keeping ProjectOKC from learning the Gospel?
  • The firm belief that Heaven now exists, somewhere far away
  • the firm belief that people who know the goodness of evil will always choose the evil path
  • firm disbelief in the testament of reality
  • fear to see things the way they really are.

The way things really are, Margaret Dietrich deserves all I can give her. I want 'all I can give her' to be "good"—not just 'good because I say it's good,' but also 'good because she invites it.'

The way things really are, women Margaret's age are soon 'swept up in marriage' (I understand that may be a 'sexist'- or 'animal-husbandry'-way of putting it, but that's the way Reason sees it); and–once she's thus 'swept'–I'm unable to honorably give her 'all I can give her.'

The way things really are, THE BLESSING is alive—ProjectOKC wants THE BLESSING to be lifeless, and so I am too threatened-by-them to talk to them.
