Crazy

Democrats are flush (95%) with unaccomplished people.  At all levels of politics, beginning with Barack Hussein Obama, they and their unaccomplished cohorts are about taking a bigger and bigger chuck from the people’s coffers because they have never had to earn a living like the rest of us. They believe that there is no honorable career except living on the public dole. 

This is reason enough not to vote for any Democrat. Wake up you long time Democrat voters, you no long have a Party that is relevant with you or we the national rank and file.

Religion Lie

If you were truly spiritual, you would be just like us.

Readiness

Spirituality is quiet, patient, personal, and for the helpless. Is it any wonder that spirituality is a lesser traveled journey among the religious or the secular?

Now

What is the Radical Democrat left up to with the government shutdown? It is as plain as the nose on every American face. Everything they do, every decision is about creating chaos in America. The chaos will happen in our streets at the end of this month when Snap food benefits are stopped because of the shutdown. The Snap people will riot like never before making our Federal resources powerless. Why would the Radical left Democrat politicians, who shut down the government with their votes in the Senate, starve their own supposed political base and cause such pain?

The left cares not for people, people are expendable, they value only power, no matter the cost in American lives. More than anything, the radical left wants to destroy our America, our Constitutional Republic. it is that simple.

The Republican Senate must use the nuclear option and their simple majority to reopen the government, now! Senate tradition be hanged.

Fundamentalism

Christian Fundamentalism proved to be one of those religious fads, here today and gone tomorrow.  Jerry Falwell would be disappointed. Charles Hartshorne, one of the founders of process thinking, published his book, "Omnipotence and other Theological Mistakes" in 1984 when the author was 89. Fundamentalism (he didn't use the word) was one of the glaring mistakes considered. According to the fundamentalist, the Bible is the ultimate authority for faith and life, every word supposedly being from the mouth of God. 

No thinking adult who knows the history of the Bible can defend such a claim. The Bible is full of truth but also full of contradictions, somebody has it wrong. There is no simplified version. The fundamentalist can only slander and despiritualize those who ask real questions of the Bible. In response Charles Hartshorne asks:  

“Is it desirable that religion should seem more and more an affair of the intellectually undistinguished or mediocre?”

Why?

Thus as Fechner, Berdyaev, Tillich, and, probably independently, Whitehead held (and Berdyaev most neatly formulated), our existence from moment to moment “enriches the divine life”. And this is the ultimate meaning of our existence.

Charles Hartshorne, “Omnipotence and the other Theological Mistakes”, p. 27.

This works for me, I have found no better understanding as to why we are here, why is this world filled with multiplied dangers, why is life so unpredictable and random? Why does life and death look like the bouncing white ball of the roulette wheel? The only answer possible is that when we look up in spite of our circumstances, it pleases God, joy gushes from his or her belly and enriches the divine life. 

Some day, if the opportunity presents itself, I shall ask God, could you not have gotten your jollies another way?

No Deal

You are leaving on a long vacation, who do you trust with the keys to the house? The United Nations? An international conglomerate? The United States doesn’t want troops on the ground, so who does Israel’s trust? Shall Gaza be divided again leaving the monsters a safe haven from which to kill again? It is time for the U.S. to get out of the deal making business in Gaza.

Give the whole mess to Israel, letting Israel do what is best for Israel!
