A simple reply to a not so simple topic..

Snap, Crackle, Pray... with Jesus today!

My Dearest Jamie,

Well, I’m sorry You Feel you have to worry, I refrain typically from religious opinion within a social networking site and I am very aware of the "Those that Love Jesus click the like option" peers that I associate with on this site. Two of them call me MOM...several more call me Aunt, Sister, Cousin! Many religious people use this forum (Facebook) as a way to save or reform the heathens that "don’t believe in their God"...or whoever they pray to....I believe, that as an argument against religion (Particularly the Christian Faith) many hide behind Science, which is why I said Some may consider the Museum of Science as their house of worship. Clearly as an example of those who believe in the Darwin Theory. I’m equally sure you weren’t really confused by the analogy.  Having said that, here is some food for thought...(I have to tie in the photo...keeps the ADD'ers reading) I do feel that I have Perfect Faith! Although, I’m not a “Christian” by religious labeling, I still feel strongly that "What you are" is your business. It’s when you broadcast it in a public way, that it also becomes other people’s business by default

Jesus Rode A Dinosaur

I also don't feel I should tell a Christian they are wrong, or tell someone with "Blind Faith" they are wrong simply because I feel I am right. Rest assure…I do believe I am right! I also don’t want "them" knocking on my door, begging to read their “word” to me! I have no intention of knocking on their door to tell them they are wrong or are wasting their time. There are far worse things to be into then being into religion…You know like drug addictions, Child trafficking….Governmental Bank Bailouts! Likewise, I also don’t want maniacs jumping in front of my car with an aborted fetus on an 4ft colored sandwich board they've strapped to their chest screaming “repent” and “Abortion is Murder”, I'm also unfortunately, keenly aware that  Running them over with my car is murder! After all, I was only trying to get to the dentist’s office… which has the unfortunate location of being next door to the family planning center. My personal belief being pro-choice is to treat the nut job with the 8x10 bloody baby glossy...that feels entitled to stick in my face as I walk from my car to a middle finger in theirs and a not so kind word, cuz this shit ain't going down without me being a total cunt right back at em! Oh, I have the Cunt in me too... Praise Allah, Buddha, Jesus, Grandma Betty and the Goddess!

You know all that up there is an example: my perfect faith! I’m being slightly exaggerative to make my point as I gather you are aware.

I also don’t think that literally you should shelve your religious opinions, I feel quite the opposite, I think you should hold strong to your belief system...and I ask only that you respect that while we may differ, rather, the World may differ... that I too am entitled to my beliefs as is others entitled to theirs!

Dove World Outreach! You can Suck my Ass!

You painted Christians with a very wide brush. As an example…The ass hat wanting to burn the Quran professes to be a Christian. He even claimed God told him to do it. Certainly Not All Christians are as radical as this guy! If I ran around town telling people God talks to me, we both know I’d be going to the Mental Ward….He…the Gainesville Bible Thumper/Quran Destroyer…for some reason gets to go to New York as an Ambassador of Good Will to have a “Mosque” removed from Ground Zero, that isn’t even at Ground Zero?! His original point was to Burn the Quran as if in effigy as a way to acknowledge the tragedy of 9/11. Never was it his intention to Burn the Quran if they didn’t move the proposed Islamic Center…Most of his religious peers did not condone the proposed act. The Muslim community in my opinion is allowing him to back off his threats by offering him the grace of saving face! Now he’s the topic of the 6 O’clock news. (This guy is essentially my neighbor; he’s just a county line or two from here!) No-one of faith, perfect or otherwise, would condone this type of zealot behavior! Yet our Media has made him a star for the lunatics that believe as he does. Yes, I believe he is a Lunatic! Anyone who agrees with him is a lunatic too…this includes the Fish and Chippers as well as the Tree Huggers the Satanists and the Wiccans!

I read your comment(s) as the continuation of the quote of someone other than you. “The men who committed the atrocities of September 11 were certainly not "cowards," as they were repeatedly described in the Western media, nor were they lunatics in any ordinary sense. They were men of faith—perfect faith, as it turns out—and this, it must finally be acknowledged, is a terrible thing to be.
 - Sam Harris”

Although I read your page from top to bottom I commented on the first part of your status (2^nd in line, yet first by timeline in post order). My comment was all encompassing. Although, I agree we suffered a Tragedy of incredible proportion on September 11^th, I don’t think that People of Perfect Faith (“Their individual measurement” of perfect not mine) should be compared to acts of terrorism/ terrorists. I know several people who would say they have perfect faith; they aren’t likely to commit an act of terrorism. I also don’t believe that the act was that of a Coward (Group or individual)…. rather I think, that they pretty much had to have Balls of Steel to kill themselves along with thousands of innocent people. That was their perfect faith…and it was a terrible thing. That doesn’t make all faith…perfect or not, a terrible thing in my opinion. Considering your profile picture is of the Cross and Jesus Christ riding a Dinosaur, and your status was placed on your wall by you, I suspect that you were in some ways soliciting an opinion. Regardless of whether it was Opposing or in Agreement, I left my little penny ante for you to digest! Maybe… Perhaps… I’m judging “You” unfairly! My point is …after all this, is that: Faith is necessary! I’d say as necessary as Tolerance. Oh Yeah, and before I forget, I found some fuel on my farm…would you like me to send you some?

Much love!
