Andrew Bolt Blog: 30/12/14. A heard of Camels passed through the eye of the needle while Andrew Bolt was in his counting house telling us what we are missing.

Christmas, artists and the celebration of creation

"I’m no Christian, but"....Bolt

The first words  of  a liar and one in profound in self denial. Bolt  tells us that he visits but doesn't attend churches.  He is spiritual man who walks hand in hand with god himself. He is the proverbial rich man who unlike the rest of us plebs has found heaven  here on earth. The meek, poor the mundane are all excluded from Bolt's elite group. We have little hope of ever understanding the personal heights of success Andrew achieved  on earth.

"And isn’t squeezing pleasure out of life in itself a sublime gift?  It’s the plodders – the people of routine lives and thoughts and dinners and drinks – who seem negations of life. "...Bolt

Here is a man holier than and separated from all of us. He plants the best garden he drinks the best drinks  eats the best food and listens to the best music. He soars with  angels. Bolt believes he is closer to god than even Christ who denied himself these pleasures.

Andrew Bolt is the proverbial rich man in his counting house telling himself that he is one of the elite that  he has made it. In the meantime  a herd of camels are galloping through the eye of the needle. He is the boaster the braggart whose  success in purely material, but needs announcing  and  publically rejoiced. Isn't that Christian? He certainly isn't the man of Kiplings poem "If" He could'nt bear to lose what he has on the flip of a coin the mere thought of the loss is existential death.

There are those Andrew Bolt who turn their backs on everything you wax lyrical about. Those that eat last and  least and make sure others are fed and have enough first. Those prepared to put on the sack cloth of life and devote themselves to others. They are not just" squeezing pleasure out of life"but ensuring life itself. They have existed throughout time and have had the same spiritual experiences. We call them "mothers" some are called "fathers" or just " parents". There are  those that  have only built the most humblest of prayer rooms and don't need  the grand religious palaces in which you find  spirituality.  They sit around camp fires and pass down their mobs stories about their land. They have done it for 40,000 years

Why, because engagement between people nourishes them  more than cathedrals. There are men and women who devote their lives to helping their fellow man  under the worst possible conditions. They don't brag about the tears that come to their eyes. Yet art, creativity and joy are celebrated in the mere act of  giving.  There has been more art  creativity and the celebration of life during harshest moments of history only it hasn't necessarily been  collectible.

No Bolt your not a Christian however you applaud  Western Christian Civilization which makes you little more than a freeloader denying it's influence on your psyche.  You are just a puffed up kid from an immigrant family  trying to tell the world he's made it on his own which mate is a load of crap as you havent. Your religion is money and without your elitism you  would never be able to sustain an erection. You are less than mediocre
