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. "

Just something to say part 2
I guess I might have struck a nerve the other day with the last post.(Just something to say) I made the assumption that there were others who had been called saviors and religious figures that had died in the same way that Christ did.
Well here are some examples:
Graves, often citing Godfrey Higgins as his source, asserts in the book that the following messiah-like "saviors" were crucified on a cross or tree before ascending into heaven.
Chrishna of India (Krishna), 1200 B.C.
Alcestos (Alcestis) of Euripides, 600 B. C.
Atys (Attis) of Phrygia, 1170 B. C.
Bali of Orissa, 725 B. C.
Budha Sakia of India, 600 B. C.
Crite of Chaldea, 1200 B. C.
Hesus or Eros (Esus), 834 B. C.
Iao of Nepaul, 622 B. C.
Indra of Thibet, 725 B. C.
Mithra (Mitra) of Persia, 600 B. C.
Prometheus or Æschylus of Caucasus, 547 B.C.
Quexalcote of Mexico, 587 B. C.
Quirinus of Rome, 506 B. C.
Thammuz (Tammuz) of Syria, 1160 B. C.
Thulis of Egypt, 1700 B. C.
Wittoba (Vithoba) of the Bilingonese, 552 B. C.
He also lists a number of other holy figures who took the form of men and then ascended into heaven, including Salivahana of Bermuda, Zulis or Zhule of Egypt, Osiris of Egypt, Oru of Egypt, Odin of the Scandinavians, Zoroaster of Persia, Baal of Phenicia, Taut, "the only Begotten of God," of Phenicia, Bali of Afghanistan, Xamolxis of Thrace, Zoar of the Bonzes, Adad of Assyria, Deva Tat (Savitr) of Siam, Sammonocadam of Siam, Alcides of Thebes, Mikado of the Sintoos, Beddru of Japan, Bremrillah of the Druids, Thor son of Odin of the Gauls, Cadmus of Greece, Hil of the Mandaites, Feta of the Mandaites, Gentaut of Mexico, Universal Monarch of the Sibyls, Ischy of the Island of Formosa, Divine Teacher of Plato Holy One of Xaca, Fohi (Fu Xi) of China, Tien (Tian) of China, Adonis son of the virgin Io of Greece, Ixion of Rome, and Mohamud or Mahomet (Muhammad) of Arabia.
Now taking all of this into account you have to ask yourself which story or Religious figure is the right one. My point in the last post is you have to think for yourself. If you read most of history man has made it plain and clear that they have all the answers to the Universal questions of life and who created it and steers it to it's fruition.
Now taking all this into account. Go outside one day alone and look around you at the magic of life. Watch as a bird flies above you oblivious of your way of thinking. Watch a butterfly that's life cycle is less than a couple of weeks go about it's job and at the the beauty that it brings into your mind.Watch the sun rise in this magical world we live in and just think to yourself at how wonderful and complicated it all really is. Look at your children and think at how they grew inside you and then they take on personalities of their own. From a simple perspective you see things at it's basic level, but at it's sub molecular level is where you start to see how wonderful life really is. You see the very complexity of how we exist and interact with each other and with nature. It is just a symphony of beautiful mathematics that make it all work. It creates the water droplet that drips down a leaf that when seen in a picture brings chills up our spine. When your newborn child smiles it brings tears and smiles to your face.
Life is complicated, and we as humans are just trying to understand our place in it. I will stick to my original story that I have a firm belief in God in my own way. I have been given teachings from some very wonderful people Terri Maxwell and Brenda Bowersock Rennels. and their have been many others. But most of my knowledge that I have acquired came from my Grandfather Randall Moore. He told us as children never give up looking and that has been what I have done for most of my life. Like I have said to others many time I wish I could make it as simple as most do but I have many questions.
We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.
