the communist world, it may be noted, has one big myth (which we call an illusion, in the vain hope that our superior judgment will make it disappear) it is the time hallowed archetypal dream of a golden age (or paradise), where everything is provided in abundance for everyone, and a great, just, and wise chief rules over a human kindergarten.
this powerful archetype in its infantile form has gripped them, but it will never disappear from the world at the mere sight of our superior points of view.
we even support it by our own childishness, for our western civilisation is in the grip of the same mythology.
I believe that everything we really need to know, we need no one to teach us.
I'll not dance around the ring like Muhammad Ali used to rope-a-dope his opponents. Does anyone here still believe in Jehovah God and the leather bound book of fairy tales?
Beyond that, perhaps full enlightment awaits us all.

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me
Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask for love from me-
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee.

Kurt had so much music left.

The Unforgiven
New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
*
With time the child draws in
The whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
*
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven.
*
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win.
*
A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me.
*
What I felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
*
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven.-Metallica

Path, My faith in God is based entirely on whether
or not Jesus is who they said he was. The writers of the Greek Scriptures lived with him, witnessed the preaching, saw the miracles, watched him die and come back from the dead. As Peter said,For we did not follow cleverly divised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ, but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty. For when he received honor and glory from God the father and the voice was borne to him by the majestic glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; we heard this voice from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain."My faith hinges on the fact that Jesus was the messiah. If it could be proven otherwise, there would be nothing left for me. After examining the works of the so-called hostile
witnesses, some historians and writers like Josephus, Pliny, and Porphyry, I still believe-I believe that Jesus was more than an ancient hero.

one thing that really doesn't add up with the organization and their registrating to be a corp.(yes i have to put this in quote sorry it's called non-profit corp.) is the very fact that they play in the worldly system of things while they tell you to keep out of it.
(while they see nothing wrong in themselves playing the stock market with other peoples money) think about it where did jesus say to register god's organization as a corporation?.
furthermore if you were living in jesus' period of time who would be the president-vice-president-secratary- treasurer-shareholders...?.
Hi circare, I would like to comment on
I think there are alot of Catholics that follow their pope and their religion very seriously-to the point of crawling on their hands and knees...
When I posed this question to a Catholic friend of mine he said,Sure, there are
believers who take that route, but they are in the minority in this country-mostly hardliners. Blind obedience is a characteristic of believers from third-world countries.Similar to us.
...for the thousands that disregard the words and directives of their pope there are as many again who bind their lives by them.
Again my friend commented that this is true to a certain extent in the US, but it is due to us(meaning US Catholics) that reform within the church took place at all. After all, we are the ones funding the whole operation, with the highest per captita income in the world. Money talks bullsh*t walks, as the old saying goes.His words leaves me with much to consider. Withholding of funds leads to gradual, if not immediate reform. What a concept. It worked for them through a relaxed stance on birth control, interfaith marriages, divorces and the nearly non-existant practice of excommunication.
