In another reminder of just what sort of evil is done by men in the name of God ladies and gentlemen I give you this on the anniversary of the death of over 900 Americans.

In 1978, more than 900 Americans in a group called Peoples Temple, led by Rev. Jim Jones, were poisoned by cyanide-laced punch in Jonestown, Guyana.

For those of you who don't know about this event and Jim Jones I suggest you look. Especially after all those kool-aide remarks we heard during the last election.


Religion can either make you or break you...

I guess i was saying that religion can help many, but can cause harm to many as well. Depends on what one really believes...

I have been known to find comfort in praying... And i find much wisdom in certain religious philosophies as well. Especially those tributed to Jesus Christ...

I got an email the other day. from a friend i hadnt talked to for a few months.

we started talking because of the election and the "doom" we envision.

he told me in the past two months he had read the entire old testament. and was working on the new.
because of me. and our talks.

im not a prophet. im just saying.
Jesus is real. hes not a myth.

im a minority.
but i still believe

please forgive me...im jsut a sinner

So, I guess I have a question.

Why do you need Jesus to save you? yes yes I know all about us being born into sin...yada yada I also have some formal religious education and understand that whole spiel about salvation...again yada yada...

Seriously, what about behaving well and acting justly for the sake of you and your fellow man here on earth without the threat or reward of life eternal in heaven is hard?

Must you have an invisible guy capable of denying you an afterlife with him and promising to cast you into hell fires for you to behave?

I mean serious, the Bible was written by men and assembled and edited by men over a very long period of time. Gospels not politically correct at the time were destroyed and discarded.

Read it, the events of the Resurrection in the Bible conflict with each other?!? What part of it do you beleive?

Umm never mind...

perhaps. its nice knowin that people do belive. and that dont constantly try to disprove the bible. Im sure words have been changed. I know that many passages are unclear. It jsut doesnt change that i dont need to prove it wrong. I dont need to kill for my religion. I dont need to shove it down somebodys throat. alls i really gotta do is beleive and seek to walk everyday with the Lord.

hey but im not perfect...i do wrong everyday.
