Religion for the Desperate and the Destitute

On the Positive side:   

For the desperate and the destitute, religion is like the 12-step programs.   It brings the person out of the gutter of life and places him or her on a solid foundation.   

On the Negative Side:   

It substitutes one addiction for another.   The first goal of religions is to keep themselves in the lives of those they rescue.   Give up your addiction to drugs, alcohol, or whatever and substitute an addiction to our brand of religiosity.   

There is a notable exception.  In the area of Forced Motherhood (abortion), they are never around to support and care for the children that they force unwilling women to bring into the world.   

Religions do not bring the person to the place where he or she can have direct, independent  connection to a personal  relationship with  Creator/God.    Religions keep themselves in the picture as the necessary intermediary between the person and Source.

 

.

Christian Bible --- find the section that say Pauls theology is that if a part is hurting, all is hurting.   

The traditional way of viewing things is us against them.

Religion is about excluding.   Spirituality is about including.   

The breadth of understanding includes an opposing position.    When you can hold your position a little more lightly, you'll see that both sides are valid.

The way one reads scriptures, influences what one sees there.   

In interpreting the Bible, one needs to ask,  What is its cultural construction.   What does a holy life look like?  

Conversion comes by conversation and not by violence  Note power to inspire versus power by force.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Well, not really "killed" because everything is immortal, non-physical consciousness so you can't really kill anything.   

 

Our Dream    is to FUND    our

Our Dream    is to FUND    our 

     Global Climate Change    Awareness Project.

 

If humans  allowing Global Climate Change to continue,  

     the consequences will be devastating, 

    deadly, and irreversible.

 

As just one example,  

     unless we change our ways,

      the ocean level will rise 

      approximately 40 feet 

      in the next 50 to 100 years.  

 

Over 200 million people    will be flooded    

     out of their homes

      And the flooding     is only one,     

     small  piece    of this problem.   

 

As our part     in preventing this disaster     while we still can,  

     we are producing a series    of composite photos;  

      posters;      30-second  videos,      

     map projections of flooded areas     et cetera.   

All  designed     to shock viewers     into awareness 

      of how seriousness   the Global Climate Change problem     actually is.  

 

We have our program designed,

We have an extensive website describing

     the problem      and our approach to resolutions.   

We have a basic business plan written.

We have several  people lined up to start working on this.  

 

We have just about everything we need 

     except the money.  

     Our initial budget calls for $800,000  

 

We request that you add us to your program. 

If you  do, we can demonstrate

      how we will use the money        

      wisely, effectively and efficiently.  

 

Thank you.

We are working on a 

     Global Climate Change Awareness Project.

 

Our dream is to get as many people as possible aware of this problem  and into action.   

 

to prevent massive Global Climate Change through our program

 

 

If humans  allowing Global Climate Change to continue,  

     the consequences will be devastating, 

    deadly, and irreversible.

 

If we continue life as usual, 

      the ocean level will rise approximately 40 feet 

       in the next 50 to 100 years.  

Over 200 million people will be flooded out of their homes

      And the flooding  only one small piece of this problem.   

Most large life forms on the planet will disappear forever.  

Life-support systems will disappear 

including that for your children, your grandchildren  

and for future generations.       and much more

 

As our part     in preventing this disaster     while we still can,  

     we are producing a series    of composite photos;  

      posters;      30-second  videos,      

     map projections of flooded areas     et cetera.

The Earth's life support system is rapidly disappearing

This environmental destruction 

will devastate the human population.

Our goal is to broaden human awareness of the devastating consequences of allowing Global Climate Change to continue.    In helping people step out of their self-limiting beliefs, there is a technique called re-framing in which you take a familiar object and give it a new meaning and in the process change the way a person looks at that thing.   We are using that technique to inspire the open-minded portion of the Christian community to become leaders in reversing Global Climate Change.   Their sacred text tells them that they are at one with nature and that they have a covenant with God  to be stewards of the Earth.   Looking at the planet from this perspective makes protecting the Earth an act of honoring  God.   

We're taking a similar approach to Islamic jihad.   We are giving jihad a new meaning by saying that the real way to defeat the enemies of Allah is not by violence, but rather by being more loving, more compassionate, more caring than any other approach to God.   We say to them, "Make people want what you have."  Your job as a follower of Islam  is to be such a shinning star that your enemies  abandon their old ways and say to you.   "Teach me to be as you are."   That's the real jihad.   That's how to return to the glory days of Islam.   

We intend to use the money we receive to bring those two messages to the world.   Both of these approaches are clearly detailed on our "Religion And Reality" website.

Global Climate Change

Imagine a world with no snow-capped mountains and no polar icecaps; A world where most of the larger animals like lions and  polar bears are all dead and gone.   

Imagine a world with the ocean forty feet deeper.    Imagine hundreds of coastal cities flooded.  Imagine New Orleans and most of Florida under the ocean.   Imagine going to New York and having to take a boat to visit the World Trade Center Memorial.    Imagine two-hundred million people driven from their homes by a rising ocean level all at the same time.   

That's just a glimpse at our future if we continue to ignore the threat  from the Global Climate Change disaster that is presently looming on the horizon.  

Now imagine the creative potential of you and I and a few hundred other have at reversing that movement.   Our first job is to sound the wake up call so loud and so clear that it simply can't be ignore any longer.   

We are about to produce, posters, advertising-style messages and other media forms that will shock the public into awareness.   Our proposals on how to do this are detailed on our ReligionAndReality.com website.

Add to Yoni Dance Book:   

You ask if I want my daughter to get naked,  spread her legs,  and let men masturbate while looking  at her.   

You ask if I want my daughter to work in a place like this.   

If you expect a black or white answer to a question of this nature, you're being extremely naive.   Every human activity involves three factors, each of which, must be give due consideration --  the activity, itself,  the mind set of the people involved in the activity, and the physical setting and circumstances.  When you add the judgments of an observer, the answer becomes even more complicated.

 

In addition to the basic  context of an activity, the meaning and significance of every experience is also dependent upon   1) the nature of physical experience itself,  2)  the consequences [the ramifications, the future result] of the experience,  3)  the knowledge, wisdom and experience of the person witnessing or having the experience,  4)  the underlying belief system, [the mind set, the attitudes, and expectation] of the person witnessing or having the experience.***ps-50-1c   and  5) the physical and social environment in which the incident actually occurs.

***ps-50-1c   See the section titled:  The Listener's Mindset  at:   http://www.TextAndContext.info
#ListenersMindset° 

 

 

There are no black or white answers to such an emotionally-laden questions as the one you just asked.   The answer received is equally as  dependent upon the mind-set person asking the question than it is upon activity being questioned.  

The answer, in this case,  depends entirely upon:  1)  the personal context she is in,   2)  the social context she is in, and 3)   the  nature of who and what she is.

1)  Regarding the personal context, one has to examine why she is doing whatever she is doing.   Are her actions a free will choice?   Is money involved?   If money is involved, are her action a desperate act of financial survival -- an enhancement of income -- or "icing on the cake?"    Is she doing whatever she is going  because she enjoys being naked and having men look at her?  

What physical environment is she is in?   What is the physical setting?   What are the circumstances?   Who is she with?   Is she safe?    

2)  On the Social level,  is the climate one of sexual repression, or one where sex is a sacred act (a way to experience God inside one's self),  or something in-between?   In this society, is there a social stigma connected to her activity?   Are there do-gooders with secular laws that they can use to harass or hurt her?  

Is there a demand for her activity.   Is she harming or serving those who choose to look at her?   Is anyone forcing them to see her?   Are her actions  done in a private setting and between consulting adults?   Are her actions  done in a semi-private setting- a setting where men must make a conscious decision to see her and must take some physical action to get themselves into a setting where such activity is acceptable activity between the consulting adults involved?  

3)  Regarding the  nature of who and what she is:   What are her subconscious beliefs about her actions?   Are there genetic factors that influence her behavior?   What are her soul's intentions?   Are there karmic factors involved here?  At this level, nobody can answer these questions except herself, and even here, to do so would require significant soul searching.    So to answer your question

You ask if I want my daughter to get naked,  spread her legs,  and let men masturbate while looking  at her.

Muslim theology states that there is only one god and his name is Ala.   They  appear to be correct and wrong at the same time.   The evidence indicate that everything is part of a grand unified oneness.   The evidence also indicates that God has a multitude of names.
