Reincarnation is in ALL religions.


Reincarnation is in all religions.
  • Why do people find reincarnation a difficult concept to accept? 
  • Can reincarnation be validated? 
  • Are we born with certain values and ideals? 

So many many questions, as one of my favorite believers truly delivers in this interview with "Life Positive".

Brian Weiss Speaks Out on Past-Life Therapy

Having accidentally encountered past lives and reincarnation, Dr Brian Weiss took time to accept what came to pass. He went on to research many such mystical and religious ideas, turning him into a doctor who [is] enlightened.
An interview with the author of bestselling books such as "Many Lives, Many Masters", excerpted from Voices of Truth (Full Circle)


Treating patients by guiding them through recollections of their previous lives is just about the last thing Dr Brian Weiss thought he would be doing.

A prominent South Florida psychiatrist, before the age of 35 he was the first Chief of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Medical Center, and a professor at the University of Miami's medical school.
He was publishing papers and becoming a nationally recognized expert on psychopharmacology and considered himself the kind of guy who rarely gave much thought to anything mystical, philosophical or spiritual.


One patient changed all that. Weiss calls her Catherine in his first best-selling book, "Many Lives, Many Masters" (1988), eight years after he began treating the young woman...

There is SO much more; history, and all else, within that article.

I eagerly read that book when it first came out- Luckily stumbling onto it as I bided time, waiting for my neighbor to join us down at the mall.
Incidentally I was the ONLY person in the "New Age" section of the bookstore. Now, 20-some years later, you will hear many times the phrase, "Oh, excuse me!" -as we bump bodies and reach over/under everyone else that is there; and perusing a now full selection of writings by reputable people.

What a nice thing to see; as people truly are turning INSIDE themselves to search for obvious knowledge, truth and trust.

What follows in the article could have been entitled "Many Questions, Many Answers"

Happy Sunday to all! Have a "wunnaful" one!

Where's God While these things are happening?


Good Morning Everyone.
I have two questions today, bound to be upsetting to some of you... But that is not my intent.

I am sure that most of you have heard/read the stories online about the little girl in Arizona who died after being locked in box.
The same little girl also was reported to have endured the abuse while her family lived in Utah.
They moved from Utah to escape possible child abuse charges. The school had caught on. (Sadly, the system never caught up).

These stories make me ill inside.
  • How many times over have we read these stories?
  • How many times more?
  • What will it take?
All the questions are unable to be answered.

As are my questions...
  • Where is God (or whatever your religion calls him), while all these horrible things happen?
  • How in the world can anything like this be reduced to "Gods Will" ?

Please click the links and read...

"THANK YOU to Our Navy SEALS!"



* 
Including a very special THANK YOU to our REMARKABLE Commander~in~Chief!


As I had replied to another blog-
Stephen had wondered about what our own "celebrations" must have looked like to the rest of the world.
I had replied:

" This was not the entire Arab World Steve.
Just the same, *they* must realize that not everyone here is doing that celebrating.
Did I???
Oh you betcha- and I even made a few phone calls to people who had been there- and fighting for us all, ({Just} so we can have [this] right in the 1st place).
HUGE difference between us and al Qaeda...
I agree that it won't be seen that way across the miles and across the seas and the religious faithful.
Still al Qaeda has been knocked down a notch or three -and that is very important to this little card game.
I think it says more about the American within us (U.S.) if we aren't touched deeply by these brave Navy SEALS that carried out their orders to the *T*.God Bless them all; and God bless our commander in chief who finally had the backbone to say to hell with the masses if it fails. We tried.

Difference between he and *W* -is that President Obama had the gonads to lose big on this one."
 -end quote-


Come to think of it, I guess "W" would have lost a HUGE investment in his foreign oil. hehehe 

Money being the root of all evil- (GW's roots go very, very, deep in the Middle East; deeper than their oil wells my friends).




A reminder for anyone who may be caught unawares, to reflect upon or to remind you-
 *** Not all of the al Qaeda are Arabs; not all Arabs are al Qaeda.


As our President, Barack Hussein Obama
stated, possibly begging to remind us-
 *** "We are NOT at war with ISLAM."


  - - - - "bin Laden killed tens of thousands of Muslims"-
 *** Usama bin Laden is NOT the face of the Muslim.


bin Laden is/WAS but one mere ugly face of militant, religious extremism; and of the wretched terrorism that he endeavored to harden us all toward our neighbors and our friends.
You remember the ones you had prior to 9/11... ?
  1. Those peaceful and law~abiding citizens who happened to be (and still are), the REAL Muslims; (those of whom are 99.9999% real Muslims).
  2. Those who have chosen to love and to spread their religion with peace,  to live peaceably by/for their own bible, the Qu'ran. (See also al-Qur'an, Koran, Book).

You remember those people that have done NOTHING AT ALL to receive your hatred and intolerance, don't you?

But you hate them anyway?
You are afraid of them anyway? 
That makes you a bigot.


"WRONG IS..."

Religious bigots?

Check yourself first; then check out those at your own church on Friday night- or Saturday- or Sunday- (or [m]any of your 'holy' days of obligation/celebration)-

  *** If you don't "LIVE" it, you are not "it"    Get it now?


Religious Extremist? ......     Militant Extremist?

"WRONG IS... WHAT exactly?"
As you may guess, this has been a topic of much discussion between Casey and I for a very long time- It has been especially spoken of these past few days. We have agreed with each other 100% of the time. (And no, neither of us are ever 'afwaid' to disagree along the way).
We do agree on the most significant ideals too; the most important of late being:
We cannot and WILL NOT put up with, condone, any religious intolerance.

We also agreed that we should ask y'all about this:
  • Does it make hatred and discrimination okay as long as the person doing it is of your "approved" religion?

IMHO, it should NOT matter who's doing it. 
Like we've said many times before, WRONG IS WRONG IS WRONG IS WRONG...





GOD BLESS THE USA

Song:

"Proud To Be An American"

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin' here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,

God bless the U.S.A..
-Stolen from here.


Very kind & merciful of Mr. Greenwood to NOT specify which God, don't you think?
Beside those "The Three R's", it is all we ever need to teach our children.

If only so they may teach their children as well as we have taught them...
(Or has George Taylor already dropped to his knees and pounded our sacred sand)?

My love to all.

XOXO
Me
(With some very special thanks to my beloved CaseyFace as well)...


Anyone forget about The Marine Corp lately?




Good Morning Everyone;
While I, like every other true American, is absolutely proud, and in complete awe, of our Navy SEALS who 'offed' Public Enemy Number One; we canNOT ever forget that they did not do this alone.
They have had help from ALL facets of our American Military for the last 9+ years...
 ...And from our allies as well.

Some are home. Many are not.



My godson, and oh, so (TOO), many others, who took their allegiances so far away from home, for so long, to fight for all of us...

Though I have replied to very few, I have read lots of your blogs here on our Multiply site - from one end of the 'hate' spectrum to the far other...

* Those written by/for/from "the pissed off" (aka 'dERanGed'), to our "elated proud".
The first listed above, I do not 'get' -unless written by a very selfish Billy Jack pacifist.
AND, I have basically held my tongue; and will continue to do so; unless there is something I don't understand. Trust me then I will ask for clarification.

Very shortly, I will clarify my own position; entitled "Methinks/thanks Navy SEALS."

I received the story below, purportedly true, from my friend Duane- who himself breathes and bleeds Marine Corps blood and air...
All thanks, always, Duane, and company, for the time and the effort, and the sacrifices you made during your tours of VietNam.

Methinks I would like to be this guys girlfriend- Read on...
With special thanks to Craig's List.

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.  Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 a.m.  E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

 First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!

 I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

 After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!
 I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

 I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb .... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

 Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.

 The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

  In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life..

Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.

Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,

Semper Fi

 Alex

Question- New York City Mosque.

Rating:★★
Category:Other
Just a short question for everyone-
With respect to the "ground zero mosque" (which it is neither), I have yet to hear ANY Muslim complaining about the YMCA in any town.
Have you?


Pics. Parkinsons. Quotes. "Points To Ponder Before You Vote"


Man with Parkinson's Disease
(Does anyone know his name)?


Good Evening All;
Grab a cup of coffee and get your attitude on. But check the BS at the door.

Do you know anyone with Parkinsons? I do. My Uncle Chum has this awful disease.

Perhaps by now you have already seen this video. It became viral shortly after its release.
If you haven't seen it, please watch it.

Tea Party protesters campaigning against health care reform on Tuesday berated and mocked a pro-reform advocate whose sign indicates that he has Parkinson's disease.

Got Parkinson's? I do and you might. Thanks for your help- as the older man's sign reads.
He wandered over toward the anti-reform teabaggers protesting outside the district office of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio).
The Tea Party's responses, captured on video by the Columbus Dispatch, were unflinchingly callous and cruel.
"If you're looking for a handout, you're in the wrong part of town. Nothing for free. You have to work for everything you get," one teabagger chided, bending over to get in the face of the seated older man. The next Tea Partier dropped a dollar in his face, saying, "Start a pot, I'll pay for you. I'll decide when to give you money," in a mocking tone of voice.

A class act if I ever saw one. NOT.








A Few Thoughts to Ponder...

First of all, I am more than bored with those of you who cannot stand to have your cowardice exposed.

There have been many recent posts concerning the upward anger of the American voters.
There are posts that think this anger is misplaced.
Oh really?  Because I sure don't think so!

"Oh please stop writing of hate", they cry, "or 'disagreements'"- yada yada yada-
   If you have written any of that, you may now return to your viewing of Billy Jack.
The rest of us have better things to do; and need to leave an impression upon those who are willing to learn.

Newsflash!
In any political field:
  • There will be disagreements.
    • (You cannot pretty that up).

  • There will be anger-
    • (Such is the nature of the human animal).

  • There will be heated discussions.
    • "If it's too hot in my kitchen",
      • (well, get out of my damn kitchen)!


Still with me here?
As most of you know, I was never political; aside from voting for people I thought could best lead us.  That all changed when Casey got sick, and there was a possibility that she would have to live out her life without basic medical treatment and/or diagnoses.


Back in '08 there were 2 suggested health care options that came from our presidential hopefuls.
One actually had a plan that offered hope for all Americans, sick or healthy.
The other thought that transplants and facelifts warranted the same level of insurance and medical care.
That was enough to get me to vote for # 1.

That there are still so many fallacies, (that means "LIES"), circulating about our HealthCare, is almost laughable- (if it wasn't so damned pathetic). The ones spreading these lies are the ones who HealthCare will benefit the very most! (Yes, that IS ignorance)!

Though not interchangeable, "Stupid is as stupid does" comes to mind.


Ignorance too- about God- or whatever you choose to call Him, -or not...

"We need to invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity" - Ann Coulter, denouncing Muslim terrorism by advocating Christian terrorism.
Um, what?!




Hokum -From www.truthdig.com
More "stupid is as stupid does"

Ain't it the truth? Obama- what's not to like?
"Obama is a Muslim."
We have ALL heard this allegation. Some even go so far as to pass it on!?

The fact is that he is not a Muslim.
But what if he was?  What is the big damn deal?
You all sound much like others back in the 1960's when JFK was running for President, and he was Catholic! 
Good grief people, wake up!

From here.
Participating in the march will be Midge Hough, who last November was instrumental in pulling back the curtain on the then relatively new Tea Party Movement that was raising a shrill and discordant voice during the healthcare debate taking place at the time. Attending a town hall meeting held by Congressman Dan Lipinski to thank him for his early support of the healthcare legislation then in the House of Representatives, she got up to tell a tragic story of losing her 7 month pregnant daughter-in-law Jenny, and her unborn grandchild due to a lack of health insurance, which effectively blocked adequate access to the primary and critical care she needed when she contracted pneumonia. It was then that she was heckled and derided by the Tea Party Patriots, a group led by a woman named Catherina Wojtowicz. The event was written about in the local newspaper, the Southtown Star and captured on a video that went viral on YouTube:

There are those that sneer at the following picture.
Why?
Is your Creator "better" than someone elses?

COEXIST

No really. What does it say to you?

Is there no room for another point of view?





Politics
He got it.
When is your last unemployment check due?
Have you forgotten the reluctance and game playing that abounded in Summer when you had to fight to get a few dollars? Or maybe you are one of the very lucky, and very few whose job and benefits,  have not been adversely affected?

Politics

From here: "I've come to believe that almost anything I see in popular communications via the internet is suspect. I say "popular communications" because bloggers and tweeters and facebookies and other users of the generally available venues of internet communication have no real incentive to fact-check or authenticate what is put online. Emails come into my Inbox with revelations about Obama, the Tea Party, this politician or that, and it's almost always hystrical (and false) arm-waving and flame-bait.
Five minutes fact-checking on Google shows how bogus this stuff is, if anyone cares to check.

There is a real world out there, where real people do real things, and it used to be that there was an appreciable lag between the doing and the reporting. That lag is becoming an historical footnote anymore; I'm not sure that we're the better for it."

I wholeheartedly agree.



Google It
Use it -or vote indiscriminately at your own peril.


From here, "Boehner and other Republicans would even like to roll back the New Deal and get rid of Barack Obama’s smaller deal health-care law.The issue isn’t just economic.
We’re back to tough love.
The basic idea is force people to live with the consequences of whatever happens to them."
Well, isn't THAT nice?!  What if you were the man with Parkinson's above?

I do not like this Boehner Man,
I do not like his every scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks,
Or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like this dirty man,
I do not like him.

I do not like his fat red nose,
I'm smart; I know where he gets those,
I do not like his smug replies,
When we complain about his lies.
You are trying to kill our hope.
Remove our HealthCare? Nope, nope, nope!


...And I plan to vote, vote, vote!



A few quotes worth repeating...

From our 'Truth and Justice Now' group came these words. "People like to believe in nonsense. It is far easier than thinking."


From your algebra classes, or your other semi-advanced mathematical or political classes remember this: "There is no such thing as unsustainable debt. We cannot pass debt to our children." 
That is not to say we spend frivolously or unwisely. That is not to say this is correct as it reads either: "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."



"What is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents."     -Robert F. Kennedy


Sadly, Bobby Kennedy could not have even guessed that this level of intolerance would be rampant among Americans of all races, creeds, or even sexual preferences.
* Bobby Kennedy could not have known what a Freeper is. (Freeper fail English? Unpossible)!
*He would not have known the term 'Astroturf" save for what was fake grass in the 60's.
*He would not have known Tenthers, 14th Repealers, Birthers, Gay bashing, and other not~so~subtle attempts at what essentially is ethnic cleansing.
*He may or may not have seen the level of filibusters that take up time, only hurt people and destroy credibility... 

Also from the mid 60's came this powerful quote. “Racism negates two aspects of man’s life: reason and choice, or mind and morality, replacing them with chemical predestination. ... A genius is a genius, regardless of the number of morons who belong to the same race -- and a moron is a moron, regardless of the number of geniuses who share his racial origin.” -- Ayn Rand

On Lies:  “Lies are a tool: they can be used either for good or--no, wait, I've got a better one. Lies are like children: hard work, but they're worth it because the future depends on them." Dr. Gregory House

On Ignorance: “The wise understand by themselves; fools follow the reports of others”  Tibetan Proverb

On food for thought: "
$ometimes it pays to follow the money — $ometimes one hand holding a million dollars is not as valuable as a million hands in a million voting booths."

And the winner is: "I don't want facts because my mind is made already made up!"

MommaLea, Don't SCREAM, but I have a few ?'s.



I will blog about Casey tomorrow. For now she is OK.


Blocked again! 
*NOTE:  If you do not care to read about religion or faith, close this window now.


Do I begin with "Good Evening" ?
 Or shall I just apologize in advance; and state what pity I feel it is that I am forced to post this in public?
-Dirty underwear and all.
hehehe

I have copied here what has been written of me.


All typos left alone; as is, where is.

"SHE COMES TO TRY AND DISAPPROVE US AS CHRISTIANS THEN SHE USES THAT DEVIL SPIRIT SHE HAS TO ATTACK AND SAY WE JUDGE PEOPLE , I AM ONLY DOING THIS TO LET YOU KNOW ANNE DOES THIS TO CHRISTIANS THAT SPEAK OUT AND ARE ON FIRE FOR GOD , SHE HAS NO MORALS NOR CHRISTIAN FAITH SHE BELIEVES IN THE HERE AFTER, KARMA, AND THE ONLY WORDS OF THE BIBLE GOD WROTE IS THE 10 COMMANDMENTS SHE BELIEVES SHE HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE,AND LIFE ON EARTH IS HELL ITSELF DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL, NOW I AM QUOTING HER FROM HER SITE IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME GO READ IT ANNE YOU ARE ONE CONFUSED PERSON !
http://flintville.multiply.com/journal/item/67
Well at least she got the correct link. hehehe 

I have already blogged of the person who wrote the above words about me- as previously she was the impetus for me to write "People Are Different."
Click on that if you wish, that was my blog re: homosexuality.

Within that blog I had written:
"I have seen so much hypocrisy and idiocy from people who refuse to learn."
I then quoted her. As momma stated, "if i turn on the TV and ellen is on i turn it, i just wish she would get saved, she seems to have great sense of humor."
To whit, I asked "How does she know Ellen is funny if she doesn't watch her?"
(My question went unanswered)...

A SCREAMING zealot she appears to me. But she has inspired me to reply to her too.

I will begin with her reply to me on my "I Believe, Still"  blog. (Click that if you haven't read it). 

*****************************

Anne i clicked on the link to check out about You and what you believe.All i can say is you need to get saved and have a relationship with Jesus Christ. To be Christian is to be Christ Like and here is why i have drawn this conclusion ok.

1.God wrote more than the 10 Commandments he wrote the entire bible through mankind.
2.there is no such thing as the afterlife we live and die then the judgment .
3.we only have one life we don't come back again and again
4.and hell isn't life on earth, and i hope and pray you don't go there
5.you say you don't believe in the devil, well he is very real. Lucifer and all the angels that followed him were thrown out of heaven, he was a beautiful angel once but because he tried to make him self higher than God he was punished.
6.and you believe in Karma>>>>>>>>after reading all about what you believe in it sounds like what the Buddhist believe in or the Hindus.

now in saying all this if you would like to learn more about Gods ways i would suggest you find a good church be faithful lin attending read the bible and prayer is very important . I am not trying to hurt you or tear you down but i do know what works , i have my testimony at my home page under my profile if you care to go read it . i wish all the best for you and i do know you are seeking truth, Jesus Loves you so don't stop searching. "
Lea

*****************************


Lea;
I am happy that you came to read of a little bit of what is inside me.

Know first that you cannot "hurt" me, or "tear me down" - unless I allow you to do so. 
(And I am simply not allowing it).   Not today.  Not ever.


I am more than pleased by what is in my heart, and in my soul.
As stated it does not matter to me if you agree, or if you do not.

As far as I am concerned, everyone has a right to be here.

You have shared your views.  I will reply in kind; even though to do so is to reiterate much of what has already been written there.

1. You wrote through mankind god wrote The 10 Commandments.
IMHO, you would ONLY be correct if then you will agree that "mankind" includes each and every human being on the face of our Earth.


2.  If there is no such thing as the afterlife, where will you be -to attend that judgment you spoke of,  if your soul/spirit is not alive?
Have you just betrayed yourself, or your god, by that statement alone?


3. Many people do not believe in reincarnation.
If that is your belief then that is your belief. I am not here to change anyone.
Fact: Human burials from between 30,000 and 50,000 B.C. provide evidence of human belief in an afterlife and possibly in deities, although it is not clear when human belief in deities became the dominant view. wiki


4. I  love the way you phrased your reply by stating "and Hell isn't"! 
(That's what I said)! hehehe
As stated above in # 3, that is your belief.  I am not here to change anyone.


5.  I  do not believe in the devil.
(That too has been hashed and rehashed so much that it has lost its flavor).  
Again as I'd written, "I only believe that there are some very dark spirits and entities living amongst, and near, to us all."


6.  I  really do believe in Karma.
Again, I have already said that. You have only repeated it. 
*  I have explained why I feel this way. 
But now I am curious if you can explain why you believe that Karma is such a bad thing?


Furthermore, why do you say Karma is exclusive to Buddhists or Hindis? (It isn't you know).
Or were you trying to imply that Buddhism, or Hinduism, ie: other religions, are bad?

My God does not exclude anyone.  Why does yours?
Where does your point-of-view leave people who are other faiths/practices?

What good does it do you to put down anyone else' religion or Faith, (or even the lack of it)?
What good can that possibly do anyone?

My own god does not allow me to do that- Even if he did I would not charge anyone to change.
As I had written to you previously, "I would never presume to know what God thinks of anyone! I would never think that my "God" is better than anyone else'."

God is God. Maybe we could just leave it at "God Is" for those that do believe?

Previously we had this conversation"

Q.     WHAT GOD DO YOU SERVE ANNE?
A. Are you admitting that there is more than one God, by asking me 'what' God I serve? That would be quite a negative in the face of The Ten Commandments.
God, by any other name, is still God.
You seem to be taking KJV all too seriously. Each and every Faith has their 'bible' Sweetie.
And whether He/She is called God, Our Creator, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Yahweh, etc.
Well, that is ALL simple semantics Lea. See, there IS only one God.  And whomever God is -called- (and in direct contrast to Exodus 34:14), I assure you that my "God" is not jealous, or to be feared, if I do good throughout my life.
God will judge my heart and my soul. Nothing else.


Too, your viewpoint sadly excludes way many of gods own creations.
And by "creations" I mean all of mankind; especially those which practice their own religion(s) faithfully.

But I do believe your POV to be quite narrow when compared with my own.


I do not need to attend any church to be a 'good', or just, person. As if I might need an excuse, I will refer you to the anxiety attacks I spoke of also.  Oddly these even seem to present themselves whether I am doing hypnosis, yoga exercises, driving across the state, blogging,  or even attending mass!

I am well to not be part of the "Sunday faithful".
(But I do thank you for caring so darn much).

Again I am quite happy just the way I am. I am sorry you do not see the joy in my own soul.  For there is a little show of Faith (mine) in almost every line; should you decide to reread it- this time as it was written.

I am not searching for anything else. My spiritual life is quite intact.
Oh wait!   You are right!!!!   God loves me anyway...

Have a 'wunnaful' weekend!
