Probably why she understood about brotherly love for all. Being part Cherokee myself , I tend to understand all people are equal, whether they realize it or not and should be treated as such.
Respecting Mother Earth is just as important as respecting yourself. I am the type that gets mad if I see someone throw a cigarette butt out their window. OK I'll save the rest of that for a rant, but I think you know what I mean.
Yep, we have been recycling for years now. Some jelly jars can make quite a nice glass to drink from.
Here! Here! Well said! Doorbell ringers... LOL LOL...Thx for the info... now when they lite at my door I can tell those ppl the devil has taken up residence some where in Ohio. Hehehe. :-D
"Let every person be fully persuaded in their own mind of the truth. If so persuaded they are bound to follow that truth, and to work toward the totality of its preeminence within their sphere of influence.
Likewise, let every man fully enjoy his right to search and find the truth. Let him in no wise be hindered in anyway. The only acceptable form of compulsion is that which is impressed upon the individual by his own conscience."
We get along so well because y'all are good people!
Oh, I thought of another quote you might like. This one is from Jefferson:
"It is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me. But this does not satisfy the priesthood. They must have a positive, a declared assent to all their interested absurdities. My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest"
Love it!! Funny story about the doorbell ringers. Our views are much like yours.
I really hate, hate, hate how some people that go to church all the time think they have the right to be so judge mental
of other people. My husband tells me religion has caused more wars and hate in the world than anything else. I agree with him to. I won't tell you what he says to the doorbell ringers. lol
Thanks Lauren. That's why we look forward to your comments.
Even some of the people at Sunny's church treat her as if she was an illegal sometimes. People just don't get it that they are no better than anyone else.
I just felt compelled to do this one. Maybe it was just because it was Curt or it was the way he put it. Either way, glad I did for a change. Thanks Lea
It never ceases to amaze me how they can preach a God of Peace and Love with the one side of the mouth and then spew such words of hatred if you disagree with them with the other.
Why did God give us a brain with the ability to think and reason if he did not want us to?. Isn't that what being made in his image was all about? Isn't that how we differ from the animals who were created before?
Blind faith is not faith. Active spreading of religion borders on the cultish. My 2 cents.
Know what bro? I wish we had more space on the comments so you could give us a whole nickle and tell us how you really feel. LOL
Seriously though, Never have a problem with your 2 cents. Sunny keeps saying how you and I had to of been seperated at birth because we think quite a bit alike on things.
I'd have to agree with you and I have done the same thing with roving bible thimpers coming to my door. My wife and I agree that God, Budda, are the same. Religion just causes trouble IMHO.
I would have to agree with you on God and Budda being the same. Different cultures have different names, but a rose by any other name is still a rose.
LOL @ your story on dealing with the doorbell ringers. That's awesome!
The stories about what your daughter encountered and the protesters, though... nothing funny about that. You're right; it's just the spread of hate with religion dragged into the mix.
Thanks for doing this, Stormy. Yeah, it's sparked a lot more conversation than I expected, but in a healthier way than I would've guessed.
The protesters have actually stood in front of the churches and yelled at families about how God hates the killers (soldiers) as they are moving the body in. As if they don't have enough to grieve.
The ringers stayed away until they saw Sunny out front one day. Thought someone new moved in. Found out they were only half right. LOL
I found that I had to do this. Your video really brought up some very good points and I had to expand my experience along. Thanks for starting it.
Very well said...
loved the quote also.
I've only known one 'true' christian, my grandmother - she walked the talk - of brotherly love - FOR ALL
and she was half cherokee....

I'm sure you can also relate to Respecting Mother Earth also and this new fangled idea of recycling.
Missed you all too.

Hey Stormy! Thought you might appreciate a few lines from an essay I once wrote entitled A Discourse on The Individual and Faith:
