Are You Over-Obsessed With Religion?

Top Ten indications that you’re over-obsessed with religion:

10 – You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 – You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that humans were created from dirt.

8 – You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 – Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the male first-born babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" – including women, children, and trees.

6 – You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods consorting with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 – You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of the Earth (4.55 billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is about a couple of generations old.

4 – You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs – though excluding those in all rival sects – will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering, and yet you consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 – While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor “speaking in tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" your choice of religions to be the correct one.

2 – You define .01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers, and consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% failure was simply the will of God.

1 – You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history – but you still call yourself a Christian.

Beware Of USA!

We live in some dangerous times. USA is closer and closer of becoming a police state!

Here is just an example:

"I was unfortunate enough to come through Miami International Airport this week, on the way back from holidaying with my son in Peru. I'm a 43 years old British, with no criminal record, no union or political ties.

Airport Immigration at Miami told me there was a computer glitch which meant they couldn't read my new bio-passport, and I would need to go to another department. My young son and I were taken to a small room and left there for 1 hour and 45 minutes. My passport, wallet and cell were taken off me, no explanation given. All this time, my luggage with very expensive contents were going round and round in the collection hall.

We were then told to move to another office and left there for another hour. I demanded my passport and belongings back, this was refused. Finally a cop appeared, and took us away to his desk. My son was made to sit behind me so I couldn't see him (why?) and I was then asked a series of deeply personal, political and outrageous questions.

Whats your sexual preference? (hello, I have a son!) Which political party did you vote for and much worse. 4.5 hours after landing we were released, and I was given my wallet, cell and passport back. No apology given.

I have a new view of the USA and American culture. I've travelled to all areas of the world including Israel and the Middle East in my life, so I know what security is, and why precautions are taken, but this was just too personal and discomforting. Even in Egypt my passport and wallet were carefully kept within my sight, and security personnel were at least polite.

Next time, I'll transfer through Madrid. Big lesson learned, and I sincerely hope this experience is of use to others."

This is all part of a bigger plan:

"Highly sensitive information about the religious beliefs, political opinions and even the sex life of Britons travelling to the United States is to be made available to US authorities when the European Commission agrees to a new system of checking passengers.

Under the new agreement, which goes live at the end of this month (July), the US will be able to hold the records of European passengers for 15 years compared with the current three year limit. The EU Parliament said it was concerned the data would lead to 'a significant risk of massive profiling and data mining, which is incompatible with basic European principles and is a practice still under discussion in the US Congress.

Peter Hustinx, the European Data Protection Supervisor warned that under the new system the data will be shared with numerous US agencies. 'The data protection supervisor and the European Parliament are angry that they were not consulted,' Bunyan said. 'But they are also angry with a number of elements of the plan such as giving the US the absolute right to pass the data on to third parties.

Simon Davies, director of Privacy International, another group that campaigns against state surveillance, said the new agreement gave huge powers to the US authorities. 'We have no guarantee about how this data will be used,' Davies said.

The new agreement will see US authorities gain access to detailed passenger information, from credit card details to home addresses and even what sort of food may have been ordered before a flight. In addition, US authorities will be free to add other information they have obtained about a passenger, leading to concerns about how the information will be shared."

Prepare for the worst!

Why Am I Here?

Why am I here? Why is everyone here? Here, where? On Earth of course. Wait, still, if I was on planet "x" why would I be there. It does not matter where you are or who you are, the question is the same. Why are you here or there?

What's the purpose?

Why do I write this? I don't know. What I do know is that we make our own purpose. We are the reason there is a purpose. It is strange, but as I write this I am making a purpose. Which is? Well, we will both find out when I finish this.

Once I said that when you are in love you don't ask yourself why you are here because then you know. That is the best answer I can give you right now. Is it love the answer? It is to many questions.

I gave a purpose to this blog, I made it. Before I made it, it had no purpose. It did not exist. Does this mean that existence is the purpose? Existence in itself is a purpose. Existence means creation. Creation then leads to purpose and life. Lets try again.

Why am I here? To be. To exist. Damn this was simple. I am here to be. I am here so I can write this, so I can love, so I can do all the things I do.

Interesting conclusion. Such a hard question when you first look at it. But the answer is as hard to grasp as the question. The answer is so simple yet so full.

Now I understand the beauty of creation. When you create you bring life and purpose to something that has never existed before. And there is no end to creation.

I had no purpose when I started writing this, but now it seems that I just answered a question. The conclusion? Enjoy life. Life is a purpose. Everything you do is great, be that good or bad. The possibility of doing it is so great that there is nothing better. The alternative is nothing, only Void.

Thank you! I say this to the one who decided that I should exist. But then I wonder who was the first creation? If in the beginning there was nothing? How did something started to exist? How can Void create?

Week In Review 9!

It has been a long time since the last review. That is because I had some important stuff to do, but now I am free again and will post more often. There are some things I must tell you. First of all I found a book, well, two books which are extraordinary. The first one is Journey of Souls and the second one is Destiny of Souls, both written by Michael Newton. These books will open your eyes and change the way you look at life! If you are interested to find out what is your purpose in this life this can help you very much. These books can give you many answers to many questions. Have fun reading them, but you need to have an open mind!

As for the Internet, here is a website that you have to visit! It is perfect in every way. The music is so peaceful. A video that you must see is Zeitgeist the Movie! You should try Google Video if the link does not work. This movie is about Jesus, 9/11, the Federal Reserve fraud, New World Order, etc. It has a very holistic view of the world and this makes you see all these things in a very, very different light.

Here is an online book Handbook for the New Paradigm, you can also buy it at Amazon. It has an important message for all of us. You should read it! Here is a fragment from it:

"Why is the word Life capitalized? Because that is the purpose of your experience on this planet! You are alive, that is aware of experiencing this Life energy moving through you and played out on the screen of your observing ego mind. Ah, the ego, the devil of your existence, or so you have been led to believe."

Until now there is a lot of spiritual stuff I gave you here. Thrust me that it helps and we need it! We forget too many times that material is not all there is! We are all so much more!

In cinemas you can now see the movie Ratatouille, it is one of the best animation films I ever saw. Great movie, you should take your friends and watch it!

In the end I would like you to go on this blog and read that story. Amazing! It does not matter if it's true, you should read it!
