Re: Convictions

My personal "spiritual" experiences alternate between hating God and reminding myself He doesn't exist. Any good feelings come from a bit of cheese, a good night's sleep, or pleasant weather—nothing more. I'm still deciding what love is. There are lots of different kinds of love, and I'm settling on...

Re: Class action lawsuit over tithing

The legal system seems to be faltering. A scary thing when laws are not enforced for the wealthy, prisons are filled with the innocent, judges are bribed, juries intimidated. I think a certain political party - perhaps all political parties, have corrupted the system. Religious groups - from tax eva...

Re: Annoying EQ Lesson on Garments

From Muslim hijabs to Jewish star, to Christian crosses, our clothes are there to ensure groupthink, to label us. We're not individuals, we're sheeples, we're robot stereotypes. For tribalism sake, keep your labels on everyone, brand yourselves, show whose slaves you all are.

Angel auditions aside, in heaven as it is on Earth? With different countries, different neighborhoods to choose between - heaven's a whole political battleground? Well, this angel's attending the heavenly HOA, will be campaigning against heirarchies, voting for a "by the people" afterlife.

Re: The Road not taken. by Robert Frost.

I've recently been off grid (power and internet outages), so found precious escape from work to read.

Joseph Campbell revealed the pattern. Countless stories follow the hero's journey, also sometimes called the monomyth. A protagonist ventures away from home, faces challenges, transforms, and returns with newfound knowledge or treasure. From ancient myths to modern blockbusters, the hero's journey h...
