Howdy Strangers

Sorry I have not written for a while but I have been sick. I was reading my ex's blog, I do that from time to time just to keep up with some people we both know and the expected comments he like to post only to his site now that I bust him as much as possible when he posts on mine. First off, about sexuality, I do not promote or condon "immorality" of what other people do in their bedroom (or other places). What other people do is between them and their maker (whomever they believe that to be). I am saying that it should be equal. If a girl is a whore, than a man is a whore-monger for sleep with the same amount of people. If it is ok for guys to sleep around then nothing should be said about a woman. It is the sheer inequality that drives such a wedge between sex relations. As for immorality, I will not make specific beliefs made. I feel that you cannot push your way of thinking on anyone unless you wish to close their mind. However this does not mean that I do not have strong feelings about those issues. Yet shouting at the wind does not help either. If someone wants to talk with me personally about my feelings on these subjects I have no problem with discussing them openly, but I will not force my ideas down your throat. The main reason I feel that most religions and other organizations fail is because you can preach your ideas all say, but if you tell one person that does not believe they are wrong or doing wrong then you have lost them. I believe that if you reason with people, keep it calm, and try to explain why you feel the way you do that it reaches more. If you can show in a non-threatening way that makes sense then you can perhaps bring that person around. It is not a matter of how much you can force-feed someone, but if you can get them to say "Hey, that's sounds right." The best person you could ever use as an example of what I am saying is Jesus. He went around and told those who would listen. He talked with people. He did wash into town and scream at the top of his lungs that if they didn't believe in him that they were going to "hell." He listened and explained, talked and look at how the message spread. Now I will not go into how that message was corrupted and used as a way to exclude or kill, but look at Jesus. Strong and firm in his belief, but never forcing. Now there was a man. The perfect example of how we all should be. Now I already know I am going to get complaints about calling Jesus a "man." Yet the form he took, whether you believe he was God or "the son of GOD" or a good (just a) man. Once again I am not going to go into what I personally believe. If you wish to discuss anything, I am more than willing to in a public chat room.

As for my "lack" of morality. Morality is fueled by religious beliefs. You can say that I am immoral by writing from an "outsider" point-of-view. I choose write this way, and keep my true opinions to myself. I simply wish to give you some information. I put out there observations that I see and give opinions that I get from other people that I find online. Call me names, but you are nothing but water on a ducks back. I will not stop writing. I will keep throwing out some contraversal ideas that we are exposed to. If you don't like it then you may excersice your given right to STOP READING. Also do not try to push me to your way of thinking. You can say what you want, but don't bother trying to make me something I am not. What I am is someone that wants to challenge you. I want to make you think. I want you to see there is more to the world that the black and white lies that we were told and no not everything we do and say and how we treat others is right. If you are a Christian I respect your beliefs (whatever denominations you may be). If you pagan I respect you also. If you are agnostic I respect you. Because I am not your judge, you do not answer to me. As I do not answer to you. Who I answer to is what I believe to be a higher power. Higher than man, any man. So you do what you want, I will do as I want. And when the day of recogning comes I will stand beside what I have done as you will and take responsiblity for what I have done and hope that all that I personally believe is right. God help us is we are all wrong. Well this is dragging on and this isn't even what I wanted to talk about today. I hope that that helps some of my critics. Actually I think it will fuel their fires worse, but hey I don't care.
