"If you embrace a belief that you can withhold forgiveness from anyone, you are withholding forgiveness for yourself. If you embrace the Christian teaching that only those who believe like you are 'Children of God', and only they are forgiven, and those of other faiths are condemned...if you embrace that thought, you are condemning yourself and PREVENTING healing for yourself, creating and attracting a seriously unhealthy path for your life."
"We can't ignore that WE, the United States, largely fueled by a Conservative presidency at the time (George W. Bush) and his Christian and Jewish constituency and advisers, continued a long legacy of undermining and attacking Islam...specifically Iraq and Afghanistan. Our actions were the metaphorical equivalent of your child being stung by a couple of hornets, and you get so angry that you decide to take a broomstick and SWAT the hornet's nest a dozen times. After doing so, you hypocritically exclaim to all your neighbors' horribly stung children that you did so because it was time to "BRING IT ON", etc.(The words George W. Bush famously said after our invasion of Iraq)"
"True values have NOTHING TO DO with organized religion...Let me repeat that for full effect...TRUE VALUES HAVE ZERO TO DO with organized religion. And to be fair, they also have ZERO to do with using alcohol or drugs of any kind for a recreational high, which is the epitome of unhealthy living."
"As you realize you are a holy part of what God is, and as you begin to receive the healing and power that comes into your life upon that realization, you are meant to bless everyone in your daily path with that healing as well. Organized religion loves to tell their "believers" that a "savior" will come some day riding a white horse, coming down on a cloud in the sky, with an army of angels to "fix everything" and to "destroy all non believers" (my, that's real love and forgiveness, huh?)."
"The world's values are sick, and it is ironic to even call them "values" at all. They are based on dishonesty, hypocrisy, man-made religious bigotry, critical comparisons that put others down, fraud, vengence, selfishness, material obsession, on and on. These things are MAJOR DISTRACTIONS that the majority of people here are wrongly focused on. ESPECIALLY the man-made religious distraction that has taught the upside down fraudulent message that God is somehow completely EXTERIOR to what you are."
"This is the uncomfortable but critical universal conversation we all need to be having on earth at this time. With the geo-political dangers we face with terrorism and nuclear weapons technology, and more specifically with the BILLIONS of both Christians and Muslims who believe there "NEEDS TO BE" an Armegeddon or "end times" world wide holocaust event in order to bring on the "savior", etc... With humanity at such a crossroads, this is the uncomfortable, unpopular conversation we need to have that is LONG OVERDUE."
"If the church was the institution that allowed you to get married and gave you the marriage license, you would have a point...but that's akin to saying "if the Earth was really only 5000 years old, and if there were no dinosaurs, and snakes could talk like the one in the Bible story of the Garden of Eden, your Christian beliefs would be called 'science'. "
"It is time we stopped being weak, conformist sheep, and started being willing to OFFEND those who teach hate, bigotry and damnation "in the name of God", whether they be mainstream Christians teaching that man-made message which is rampant all throughout the Bible's scriptures, or whether they are mainstream Muslims teaching that man-made message found all throughout the Koran."
"President OBama is grossly in error as he continues bending himself into a political pretzel by trying to argue that ISIS, Al Qaeda and other such Islamic radicals are NOT part of Islam. That is not just a laughable lie, it is a hysterical lie. These groups are first and foremost, fundamentally motivated by the teachings of Mohammed and the Koran that demand that ALL MUSLIMS help to create a world wide "caliphate", which means a world wide theocracy under Sharia Law, where the entire world's laws are to be governed by the teachings of Islam and the Koran."
