| Love - In Perspective: | 
What is love?
Is there truly such a thing?
Or is it just a fleeting moment in a dream?
A bizarre twisted, pain filled plane of existence...
A fantasy reality with only a brief interlude before becoming encompassed in the depths of sorrow itself?
How does one give ones love so freely, yet only to rip the heart and very soul out of the one we profess to love?
Love is a demon, with claws that rip the flesh, and sharp fangs that shred ones dreams.
Love is a jagged glass, slicing out the very will to survive, leaving only tattered emptiness where once a warm heart dwelled.
Love is betrayal, filled with false promises, deception and despair.
Love is selfish, so easily given only to be ripped away at a moments breath.
Love is empty promises of a life entwined, yet tossed aside as a used tissue, soaked with the tears of a broken heart.
Love is like a tarnished dream, a mingling of souls, only to be shattered and crushed, drained of life and will.
Love is a passionless, cruel despair that encompasses the soul, slowly devouring like a cancerous thing.
Love is the empty tears of the soul, drying and blowing away as dust in the night.
Love is misery.
Love is torment.
Love is deception.
Love is false hope.
Love is agony.
Love is destruction.
Love is darkness.
Love is demise.
Love is..... the end..... empty..... finite..... "good bye".

| I swear-... or do I???? (an opinion) | In this country, a country based on freedom and equality for all, it seems many times we forget the meaning of "all". One such instance is within the very boundaries of our judicial system.
How many times have you served on a jury, or been asked to take an oath, and in the process been asked to "place your hand on the bible and repeat after me- 'I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me god'. "? I was told that this practice is no longer in use, but guess what! It still IS in MANY places around the country!
This practice of 'swearing in' may be good for the god fearing religious right, but what of those who hold no value in the bible, and those who do not recognize nor believe in the christian god? Does that make their testimony and/or oath worthless?
Why would someone really care if they made a false statement if the things they are swearing on hold no value to them? Would they care if they made a false statement simply because they placed their hand on the bible? I think not. Myself, it would mean more to me if I was asked to "swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, or forfeit all my valuables and possessions and receive extended holiday
accomodations in the company of 'BUBBA' in our own little love nest at the local Alcatraz Hotel". Now, THAT would be something worth swearing to! LOL!
Furthermore, for those sworn into office, this "swearing to god" is just as useless. So
they take an oath to uphold the laws of the US Constitution and protect 'ALL' (notice that
ALL again...) peoples rights and liberties, without bias or prejudice for race, creed, color, or religious affiliation, yet they start out with an oath that is OBVIOUSLY biased towards the christian faith and belief system. Again, what if... what if they do NOT believe or follow the christian faith, or believe in the christian god? Does this make their oath useless? It seems it would indeed!
My personal thoughts, we (the people of the US) need to reexamine our entire judicial system, to MAINTAIN the impartiality to ALL people of the nation in order to uphold justice equally for one and all!
Note: Support the separation of government and religion, to make America TRULY a nation "Of the people, by the people, and for the people" with TRUE liberty and justice for ALL! |

| Christ weeps for YOU! | You "assume" that I am against christianity. You "assume" that I have a problem with Christ. You "assume" that I judge all christians by the stereotype that modern fundamentalists have created. By your assumption, you yourself also lose the true meaning that Christ intended. You lose the true meaning of the faith you "claim" to follow.
Christ is about love and respect for one another. About living your life by "example", not by being loud, pompous, or noticed because you can preach and witness. Christ NEVER intended this to be his way. Christ lived by "example". Christ accepted ALL people as his equal, no matter how much they disagreed with him. No matter if they followed him or not. Christ did NOT try to condemn them. He did NOT force his way on others. He did NOT push his life and beliefs on others.
Your choice to do so is nothing more than spitting in Christs face. You sin against the very person you claim to honor by your acts against others. You represent Christ as a person full of hatred and condemnation by your very example. You give all "true christians" a bad name by your very actions. You should truly be proud for adding to the plague that is destroying Christianity in the world today. Well done, indeed!
You think 'we' will be the ones condemned in the face of God, when in reality, it will be "you" by your own acts and examples. Your forceful pushing and professing of your "way" is just what Christ did NOT intend. Your example disgraces all that Christ stood for. You should be proud, indeed!
I truly feel sorry for the "real Christians" of this world, and for Christ, that such a pompous moron as yourself, by your own example, would even claim to represent something that is so far from the example you yourself show to others. Well Done! When you stand before Christ as a hypocrite, you will be the one judged, not I. Enjoy the eternity you now create, because you just may find it isn't the one you really wanted, yet you will still be held accountable!
Examine your OWN life, your OWN shortfalls, and quit worrying about others. YOU are the one that needs the help. YOU are the one who needs the forgiveness, not I! May Christ have mercy on YOUR soul, You'll need it!
Note: Geez! When will they EVER learn? |

| "WE" The People! | The Constitution of the United States of America
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I find it very distressing that in a nation that our forefathers fought so hard to build and establish, that so many things seem to be overlooked when it comes to religion and government.
It seems to me that those first three words, "WE THE PEOPLE" refer to ALL the people in the United States, not JUST THE CHRISTIANS. Too easily we seem to forget that America was founded on FREEDOM! Freedom for ALL people, freedom to express our beliefs, and freedom to live our OWN lives, without being oppressed by religion or religious based government.
I find it even more distressing that our leaders, the ones who are RESPONSIBLE for making examples, and SUPPORTING the rights of "WE THE PEOPLE" could be so bold as to blatantly and obviously display their OWN religious preferences in our faces, and back them with the power of their positions totally disregarding the very impartiality and support of freedom and rights that "WE THE PEOPLE" are guaranteed under our Constitution. These are the people that are supposed to SUPPORT these laws "UNCONDITIONALLY", Not unconditionally under the guidelines of the church nor of the christian religion.
AMERICA, WE as a nation need to WAKE UP! What good are our rights and laws if they can be so easily manipulated and influenced by an entity, in spite of having laws to "SEPERATE RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT"?
Without these laws, and IMPARTIAL governing, we may as well be a dictatorship like the fallen "Communist Russia", or be under the control of tyrants such as Hitler, Stalin, and Castro.
It truly saddens me, being from a family that has roots going all the way back to the original colonists and pioneers who established this very country, that all they have fought and died for can be so easily overlooked. AMERICA, where we are truly free within the boundaries of christianity. America, where we killed the heathenous indians to bring christianity to them under the guise of civilization. PEOPLE! THIS IS NOT what America is about!
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Americans, stand up for your rights!
Support "Freedom FROM Religion"!
Return America to the great nation it once was! A nation "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, and FOR THE PEOPLE!" America, for ALL!

| BILL OF NO RIGHTS! | YOUR BILL OF NO RIGHTS
"We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal, bed wetters.
We hold these truths to be self-evident : that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a "Bill of No Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not have the unearned right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness -- which by the way, is a lot easier if you learn the Country's language and are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights,"
If you agree with the foregoing, share it with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it is about time common sense is allowed to flourish - call it the age of reason revisited;
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY !
LIVE EACH DAY WITH AN ATTITUDE
