If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung would you hear my voice come through the music would you hold it near as it were your own? It's a hand me down The thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know Don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water when there is no pebble tossed nor wind to blow Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men And there's a road no simple highway between the dawn and the dark of night If you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water when there is no pebble tossed nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow but if you fall you fall all alone If you should stand who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home -Robert Hunter

George, I'm not sure why you're saddened by Sam's posts, but I've really enjoyed them. I think Sam has a lot to add to this discussion, and has done it well. Craig

To answer your question re protest too much, IMHO I think there is not enough protest for the havoc brought on by this false teaching. When it is said in so many repetitions over the years it becomes brainwashing to the uninformed. It has caused more brutality and deaths than all the wars of history. It tends to take responsibility from self actions and place on an it's O.K. basis, cause if you are a Christian, God will forgive you. It places the litle spark of God in us way out of reach in a far off Heaven and puts the guilty conscience off on a Devil God here on earth. If you will check back on my posts for the past week you will see the survey results of Christianity. I am a firm believer in philosophy and right living. Religion is a form of philosphy and each of us have the ability to search for truth. However, truth is a relative thing. It depends on knowing all facts. Christianity is a semantic word used loosely in many ways. It claims to be facts when it is nothing but myth used by the sages of old to teach. The Roman Catholic Church (from which it branches out) historicized these myths as actual facts. It was done to create a new religion by the state to promulgate slavery and unfair taxation. I have found that if you make a person angry enough, he will go to all lengths to prove himself right. In the search for proof there is usually a new awakening if it is thoroughly done. If I can cause just one person to find real truth in himself it makes it all worth while. Hopefully this will partially answer why "I Cant let it be." If you think yourself bewildered I am more so. We each have our own path in creating our lives and should not force our beliefs on others thru fear or slavery. Ignorance is the only thing we should fear. If we want a better tomorrow we must start creating it today. We can't wait for God to take care of it after death. If we want to have caring, loving surroundings we must be caring and loving. If my posts offend you just hit next on your browser. I realize I could do this with Emile and his ilk from the "Ask God" thread. This thread for talk about our feelings, not religion. Then the proselyters move in with their falsehood and ruin a good thing.
