Religious Intolerance in America.
I can honestly say that I am not an authority on this subject, but as a person of science I can and do have the ability to research the problems going on. Now first off I do not have a problem with anyone expressing their religious beliefs peacefully. I have as much of a problem with churches like the ones who protest Soldiers Funerals as well as Islamic people of faith demanding the beheading of people for speaking of their Prophet. The one thing that did set America apart from the world was the Religious freedom we enjoy. But it would seem to me that now the Government picks and chooses what is considered tolerant. (Thomas Jefferson strongly believed that religion was a personal choice that should be free from government interference.) And I could not agree more. Government's job was not to dictate Religion but to protect the practice of Religion of it's citizens. The Governments job was not to make it popular or take it mainstream, just to protect it's citizens from persecution. We ask no less for the protections of persons of color or any other beliefs.
Now we have a class of people who then go out and make movies and that somehow makes them historians and spokesmen for certain beliefs in this country. What a load of shit. These people like Miley Cyrus and Ashton Kutcher and so forth have no earthly idea what the hell they are talking about. The fact they make some shitty movie and that somehow makes them an authority on Religious beliefs and what is acceptable to the American public. Instead of public debate on the subject for these airheads they would rather go to Twitter and Facebook to rant on their beliefs. No guts no glory I would say.
It would seem to me that Christians have and are losing the fight in this country over their own beliefs. Everyday those beliefs are targeted by Governments and by airheads in Hollywood as if speaking about Jesus is sacrilege against the American people . But I notice they have no trouble spending the money with In God We Trust on it. Right Bill Maher.
I think what scares me the most is the taking over of this country by certain religions who preach hate and death as their mantra. These religions have become more popular due to the fact they appeal to our violent society. What they do not get is Video games are just that games. These people kill in real life. You see these young people drawn into these cults by promises of killing people without repercussions. But I am sorry to say their are sever repercussions to entering Cults that promise what they cannot provide.
We have become a lost group of people in the world today. We have several religions that want nothing more than the end to come. And that to me is the saddest part. Because with all the beauty that this great Earth gives us all we want is for it to end. How sad, how very very sad.
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones."
" Our Hearts and minds are beautiful machines of nature, And our belief of God makes that beauty cohesive. It is how we treat others that define us as followers of a loving and compassionate creator. "
