The Bell Curve is a statistical tool used to calculate the breakdown of any normal population. The one above illustrates IQ scores and shows the percentage of the population that has a particular score. Thus we see that 2% of the population would be considered severely retarded and 2% would be considered geniuses. An additional 14% of the population would be considered below average intelligence and 14% would be considered above average intelligence.
The mean IQ is 100. That means the average person has an IQ of 100. It also means that 68% of the population are near the mean IQ score of 100.
I believe that the Bell Curve can be applied to any normal population with the results being a similar distribution. For example:
1% of the population is pure evil.
14% lean towards evil
1% are pure good
14% lean towards the good.
68% are a little of both: although 34% lean more evil than good and 34% lean more good than evil.
If the above were not true, the most important gift we have received from God (Our Free Will) would be violated during our mortal experience. That is, we have to be exposed to an equal amount of good and evil in our lives in order to choose one or the other.
Now my next proposal:
1. Pure Evil can only directly influence the 14% that lean towards pure evil. Pure Good can only influence the 14% that lean towards pure good.
2. The 14% ( not the extremes) must influence the middle on both sides of the curve.
3. That would mean that the largest audience and support group that any true Patriot could hope for is 14% of the population. Fourteen people out of 100.
Light and darkness cannot co-exist. When the light is turned on, the darkness evaporates. When the light is turned off, the darkness reappears. Thus, there can never really be a compromise between pure good and pure evil.
In other words, it is a natural thing for there to be a separation of good and evil in the eternities. This life is an artificial environment in that it permits both sides of the line to interact with each other.
There Must Be a Separation:
Jesus explained that in the Last days, there would indeed be a separation that would take place:
"24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." (source)
The tares of course, have reference to plants that look like wheat, at first, but eventually show their true colors. These "tares" will gather themselves together and cast out any and all light among them. Once they have cast out the wheat, they are ready to be burned.
Some people interpret "the barn" as a physical location on earth or in the heavens where ALL the righteous will all be gathered. But this contradicts the vision of the martyrs that John saw.
"4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration." (source)
It is appointed unto all men to die. To fear death is to fear the eternities, or what I would call, "The next great adventure". One's death can be clothed in honor and virtue. Or it can be clothed in disgrace and shame. That choice is up to the individual. It is the fear of death that makes cowards of men and causes them to shrink from their duty.
Evil men know that fear gives them the advantage. That is why they terrorize us with images of violent death in our music, television and movies. They want us to fear death so that we fear opposing evil. What we should really be afraid of, is our position in the eternities.
Death and the means of dying shouldn't concern us. What should concern us is the growing amount of evil in this world and our ability to influence those around us to see it for what it is, before we have their blood on our hands.
We ask for truth and we receive it. It is given to us for our understanding and also for the understanding of others, but that requires us to open our mouths. When we do, we become targets of evil men and their designs and that might eventually require us to give our lives for the cause of truth.
It is only when we count our lives as nothing that we can begin to live as free men and women. Sacrifice has always been required by God to purify our souls. Therefore, the true measure of a man is not found in his accumulated possessions. It is found in what he has given away.
