Re: FEAR OF THE MANY..CLEVERNESS OF THE FEW
Seidr: another very good post.
I wish Lady M., had more insight
and less religious self righteousness
and maybe she could learn something
from what you put together.
I don't hate christians,
I used to be one myself,preaching in the pulpit and all.
I thank God for the deeper esoteric meaning of life.
I can now see that all religions have
a common starting point and that is
Nature itself.
That is the only Bible God ever wrote,
The book of Nature.
This book stands ever ready and open before us all
to learn and understand it's secrets.
Lady M.and others like her need to realize
to open a book is the only way to obtain knowledge from it.
We must also open our minds,
if we expect to learn also.
Your article,if people will read it,
would help to clear up much confusion.
Take Care and keep the Faith.

Thank you, P,
for your open mind and heart.
I was steeped in christian lies
for all my early years and even
rcc for awhile.
Like you I opened my HEART
and "saw" with INCLUSION
instead of from a base of EXCLUSION.
Its made me more content and less judgemental.
The way a person lives their life
in NOT my concern .
.
I do wish some would speak against the
constant denigration of women and
any ALTERNATIVE BELIEFS
as quickly as they speak against
condemnation of the
TYRANNY of ORGANIZED RELIGIONS.
Diatribes against ALTERNATIVE BELIEFS
and calling all beliefs other than
christian as eeeevil
is tolerated and condoned
by most here.
When any speak up
FOR ALTERNATIVE BELIEFS
we are accused of being INTOLERANT
and WARNED not to even read christian posts
.
This is so typical of christian actions
of imposing exclusivity for their OWN
thru the history of christianity murdering
its way across Europe
and their attempts
here in America
to change the constitution to make
the christians ABOVE ALL OTHERS.
.
what god is this
who prefers some to others ?
EXCERPTS FROM THE POST:
During the American colonial period,
alliances between religion and government
produced oppression and tyranny on our own shores.
Many colonies, for example, had provisions
limiting public office to
"Trinitarian Protestants"
and other types of laws designed to prop up
the religious sentiments of the politically powerful.
Some colonies had officially established churches
and taxed all citizens to support them,
whether they were members or not.
Dissenters faced imprisonment,
torture and even death.

: Maryland representative Luther Martin
: said that a handful of delegates
: to the Constitutional Convention argued
: for formal recognition of Christianity
: in the Constitution,
: insisting that such
: language was necessary in order to
: "hold out some distinction between the professors
: of Christianity and downright infidelity or paganism."
: But that view was not adopted,
: and the Constitution gave government
: no authority over religion.

A determined faction of Christians has fought
against this wise and time-tested policy throughout
our history.
In the mid 19th century, several efforts were made
to add specific references to Christianity
to the Constitution.
One group, the National Reform Association
(NRA), pushed a "Christian nation" amendment
in Congress in 1864.
NRA members believed that the Civil War
was divine punishment for failing to mention God
in the Constitution and saw the amendment
as a way to atone for that omission.
The NRA amendment called for
"humbly acknowledging
Almighty God as the source
of all authority and power in civil government,
the Lord Jesus Christ as the Ruler among the nations,
[and] His revealed will as the supreme law of the land,
in order to constitute a Christian government."

This almighty god of the christians
has made his followers murder
and maim all dissenters thru world history
and now he presses them to make him the
KING/LORD OF AMERICA
to whom we must
ALL BOW DOWN
.
Uuh , no way !
Its against PAGAN belief to BOW DOWN
.
We believe we are SOVERIGN
and are all part of DIVINITY
.
Is THAT why christians have killed so many of us ?
.
Most of us dont HATE christians
we just want them to stop trying to
make everyone else accept THEIR god
of whom we do NOT approve,
as he is a tyrant,
a jealous murderer,
and a destroyer of all GENTLENESS.
.
When he gets tolerant of US
we might want to listen to HIM
or his acolytes.
.
If someone is out to kill me for my beliefs
I am not prone to invite him over
for cookies and organic milk.
.
Thats NATURAL
and PAGANS do worship all that is NATURAL.
Insanity is NOT NATURAL.
