The Lord is Calling

Yes he is or so I was told by one Mr. Jim Tetlow of "Countdown to Eternity" fame. The Lord is calling me. Little did he know I already answered and why is it that folks think that you have no concept of God if you don't believe word for word in the Bible. Yes, in his calling to extend the rights of his famed production he asked if I ever saw it and proceeded to tell me about the "end". I laughed and told him - nope wrong person, I don't believe in all the malarkey. He tried and tried and he tried to passively and quietly pursued me that the Bible is the actual words of the master creator, the higher being - God. God wrote the Bible, well not exactly, he got some much favored and chosen Jews to script his thoughts about everything. So that I didn't believe oh man - he had to get right to it. He asked me about conscience and all that. I just gently rebutted all his arguments, but he kept trying. It is amazing that people still concern themselves with this book all wrapped up in this book and all the madness, and he was going on about when the Jews assemble in Jerusalem then the end is near. I told him we'd been hearing that for centuries - THE END IS NEAR!!! Yup and we're still here. I don't subscribe to the notion that everything and all things are about the Jews - we're all here on the planet and we just need to bloody well get along. I don't give a shit what anyone is into and I don't need to be told by these simple minded one tracked minded religious types that the ONLY way is following Jesus and the Bible or else - ahhh we all burn in hell. Yeah scary but it doesn't work on me anymore, I've seen the light and all that is bullshit. As long as you ain't trying to bring ill will to me or mean me any harm I just let you live. Live and do whatever the hell you want and it may seem "selfish" as I was told by Mr. Tetlow but I am not into dictating people's lives, movements and thinking.
Yesterday some Nuns were excommunicated for Heresy. Heresy!!! in the 21st Century-now what is wrong with that picture. There are just some humans that have a power lust and they want to tell every and anyone what to and how to do any and every thing. I'm not into that and don't' care. Everyone needs to live like this and we'll have less problems, we don't need Jesus or the Lord or Buddha or Krishna we need wisdom and education and a clear sense of being and we need to be more human and love and get past all our other bullshit. Look at Ireland, everyone technically speaking a Christian but no one can get the fuck along so what the hell. That shit doesn't matter and if Mr. Tetlow thinks that the human race after conversion or "being saved" is going to fall dutifully in line and we all live happily ever after singing kumbaya he'd be better off waiting on the Lord to write another novel.

Fear

Fear is defined as a "distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.
a specific instance of or propensity for such a feeling: an abnormal fear of heights.
concern or anxiety; solicitude: a fear for someone's safety.
reverential awe, esp. toward God.
that which causes a feeling of being afraid; that of which a person is afraid"

Fear cripples the fearful, it causes paralysis; temporary and sometimes permanently, fear can be a hinderance, a barrier, a force sheild from which the fearful cannot get from behind. The fearful stay transfixed, cowering. Fear is powerful emotion, it is a protective emotion, we need fear to protect ourselves, fear can be constructive and it allows us to prepare for impending danger but fear can also be deconstructive, breaking us down, having us cowering from imaginary vilans and shadows and what would be positive experiences. Fear can rivit us in place, stop us from living life to the fullest, stop us from enjoying life, render us powerless, make one unsure about everything. Fear is contagious - scream "fire!" in a movie theatre and watch the terrible domino effect. We see the fearful and we become fearful too. People are running we run too - fear is contagious that way. Fear can also breed negativity. Fear without reason is unnecessary and uncalled for. Fear sinks when one is in the ocean and fear will sink on land.
