Get a life........okay seriously. Now I enjoy music, art, movies from all over the world - I have more World music than anyone I know and I bet anyone you know......I love culture - Individuality at it's culmination = Culture.
As of today lets all start migrating to Asia! That seems like a great place to go; I've heard so many good things about it. The freedom and liberty those people get to live with.....I am left wanting. And there are many other great things (great simple freedoms) about this this Asia. Ohh the wonderful life our children will have..... So we leave at once!
A few years go by......
Man I really don't like this Buddha character. And the way dress....blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And so the Buddha a sacred symbol is destroyed. All falls to pieces. The tension grows deeper and deeper. Wars break out, many die. For what?
~Okay so, simple, left out a lot of details and issues but you get the idea.......I hope.
This country was founded on what? One of biggest was that which we hold to be self evident, that all men were created equal. Religious freedom was something they wanted. So people want it today, no-doubt. Islam is destroying Europe as we speak and has been for a long time. They are doing the here. Muslim's feel the same way about Christian's as Christian's do about Muslim's – a threat. Convert or go to Hell. I do not support organized Religion, it causes way to problems. But, I do enjoy community and loving people (where ever they come from). This business of destroying the World War I memorial crosses is out of line. They are far from "Patriotic", and that action alone says only of their absolute stupidity, cruelty.
You can not force people into a unity. You can not sue people and take away their religious freedoms while supporting all the others – Big contradiction. It is belief system that is the scary part – look at child - a new, clean slate (soon to be indoctrinated with all kinds of BS, much which does not ring true to Love). Destroying what people hold close to their heart, that which is sacred only will draw people closer to their original belief system. Not together. Turning things upside down is no way to win unity. You turn people against each other. Wars begin, they begin in the mind, and then they get ugly.
Jesus as many like to use as an example for Love, Help, Healing..........one who cared for the least of these..... He did help many so the story goes, but only helped people who were ready and willing to help themselves and cease to be a worthless waste of bones. The average person likes to go to work, come home, go on few vacations, see the sights.....and go home and repeat. They don't like change much.......look at the amount of Southerns who still discriminate against Black people. People take the system for granted (which is what "they" want.....Control. Liberty comes in many shades so does White.......You see the minds job is to keep the body alive. It has no other job. We all have a innate desire to LIVE at whatever cost. Or we can be convinced through years of persistent indoctrination that it's okay to strap a bunch of bombs to ourselves, kill a bunch of innocent people all to plow the path for our parents. Ohh and the virgins...
Using force, turning the truth upside down (for someones benefit), using the government in ways it should not be used can only last so long. If the Governmental system disappeared tomorrow all would fall apart. No?
No Religion is a lot safer than a Religion. Whatever does not bring unity for all IN THE BASIC OF NEEDS is wrong. The system is wrong because without it all would fall apart. People are forgetting how to survive, people are forgetting the basics and are slowly becoming bogged (With the arguing and debating of stupid issues that are far from important) down with all the BS from the
ACLU and many other organizations. The cities that are so dirty, full of smog (and no plant life......Watch the movie
Thousand Suns on my blog) are safe-havens for those who are the least .....they suck on teat of the government which is from the people for the people. And that from the people for the people has been sadly taken out of context and been demoralized.
The truth is far simpler than all believe and want to believe (because there something more....I mean come on). What the masses want, more or less what they have been indoctrinated to want is not what they need.
The Government, FDA, EPA, Pharmaceutical industry, Illegal drug industry, alcohol industry, tobacco industry, Technological industry (which is the most distracting at the moment), Mafia run industries (which is like deepness of Religion)..............you could go on........are all just that industries that pay well.
So again it's the belief system that gets in the way just like words. Love does prevail always - all ways, look at all the great Minds down through the ages - It was All so simple, It is All so simple. The WAY is simple, the way is Unconditional Love. Not systems, man-made Laws or Rules. Those Laws and Rules are all so pathetic to the Ultimate Law(s).
So before any replies watch the Thousand Suns Video, watch the movies: Kate & Leopold, Peaceful Warrior, Sword Fish, Blade Runner, Logan's Run, Babel, Brick Lane, Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance,Powaqqatsi: Life in transformation, Naqoyqatsi: Life as war, Tristan & Isolde, Watchmen, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and the Matrix Trilogy. Listen to Yanni and Classical music. Listen to Adiemus' song Adiemus.
All leading to the idea that Less is More. That which leads to Unity and Well-being is Right and that which disunites is Wrong.
Love is All there is. And the idea of Love is shaped in many ways - the daughter of an abusive father has twisted view of Love....and so on. So than it is Be transformed be the Renewing of your Mind. Now one may think this goes against what I just stated about Love but it does not: This business of Trying the people who (supposedly....) caused/committed/had something to do with the 911 attacks need hanged for all to see. If don't think so, could doing what they did? Probably not, so get the point. Being able to get away with such an unfathomable thing as Bombing or Murdering a mass amount of people (which is so far from Love.......) makes almost easy and okay for others to do it. Sesame Street was studied largely before it aired but even more after it aired for some time. Kids were repeating the actions and likeness of the characters. So that is a basis for the effects of Media and Games Or rather indoctrination by.... There is also the idea that one could and is living vicariously through the Media and Games - which could be a good thing in a way but absolutely robbing in another.
Anyway, Life is simple why do we make so complicated?
Love, Unity and Peace,
Merry Christmas Or wait was it Hanukkah, or Ashura that I grew up celebrating/observing?

By the way searching day in and day out for Truth does not constitute the idea of Atheism. What are you searching for?
