You here that bellowing voice…….. FIGHT !
.
Crash, slash….power up**
.
Than stillness….one figure still holding up the body of the other combatant.
Than the voice
.
FINISH HIM !

Sometimes when I read about the world issues, how often does extreme views come into play, or to a greater degree, Religious extreme views. It has always been very perplexing to me why some need to not just believe in a way of life but also insist on forcing their views and standards upon others. Failure to do so results in your branding as evil and anti-God. Groups’ mount and whole populations are radically taking up into feverish movements as they prepare for the fight on national and international morality.
This is not God’s way or plan in my mind. The radical right Christians and now recent fundamental Muslims have perverted the message. History has already shown religion being used as the tool to mobilize a population for horrible slaughters in the past and sadly it will be the same in the future. This is not what I believe was ever the purpose. Religion should not be about exclusivity. Our way or the highway in a manner of speaking. In my world God brings me comfort, taught me compassion, brings me to a point where I can forgive almost anything. I have always believed the almighty was big enough to fight his own battles and if he needs me, he can always give me a ring. Till than, I try never to judge others. This is not my place. For instance my stand on marriage. Let gays marry, as honestly it has no bearing on me directly. By not letting them marry we are actually hurting a portion of the population. It’s a population that refuses to extend them the rights they themselves take for granted. Their definition is really what they are fighting. The word marriage belongs to us and God and gays can’t have it. How moronic. However the moral meaning of marriage within my marriage is defined solely by my spouse and I and we practice within our home are values, as we seem them. No different than my neighbor does or I suppose anyone in the Middle East. That I suppose is the biggest point of contention. When others don’t practice ethical compassion but use it as a tool for brutality to suppress a people in both a blind power game and shortsighted interpretation of their gospel.
Belief in God is neither a weakness nor a side definition of stupid. What actions you take in God’s name can be. Forgiveness and compassion define my world. If God wanted we could all be placed in an arena like Mortal combat and told to fight, but no, that was not God’s doing, that was the people who did, and used God as their justification. Why God’ allows this to happen or in general, allow unhappiness, well I could read his words, but really, I accept things are what they are and embrace the idea that the people themselves must effect change. That means my moral code dictates I must help people, not make things worse, through serious blind greed, materialism, or mindless ideology. I have been placed here to be a force of compassion. Even when I fail, or make mistakes, the journey is greater mission and more important than any given step. We may believe in many things, but in my mind, the evolution of the human spirit could be said to be one of man’s greatest pursuits. Live by example in a manner that shows this, and do onto others as you would expect others to do onto you.
Oh sure..I can be opinionated but I do mean well. Love you all.J

... and I like the example you have set. Without realizing it, your quiet ways of handling things have helped me to help myself quite a few times already. Thank you.
