As to the philosophical question of the existence of God; I am agnostic. I just don't know. Honestly, I feel that's the only truly scientific stance to take on the subject. Any other stance one takes, lacks proof. So that they are merely expressing an emotionally-charged, faith-based opinion.
Dogma is the inability to go beyond mind and perceive what is. Thought creates god and then man worships the illusion, creating various groups of reality tunnels and hence further conflict and division. Not realizing we are all one while individually being unique expressions of the source.

I tried to hold this back but I no longer can. Timothy Tebow is the antichrist. I was born and raised a strict Roman Catholic; but when I reached the age of 17 and was capable of thinking for myself I quickly left that religion because all I saw was hypocrisy.
By definition a church is really just a belief system. Though it does have some real bad cogitations and my hope is that we can change the perception of what a church is suppose to be.

I’m currently a Mason and Descendent of John Adams, yes the president John Adams. I’m also a direct Descendant of general Sharidon of the Union Arm during the civil war. I want to tell you the truth of the masons and this country.
Ares is the Olympian god of war, slaughter and bloodshed. He is the progeny of king and queen of all gods and mortals, the mighty Zeus and the jealous Hera, respectively. It appears that both abhorred him, predominantly because of the debased, inhumane and rudimentarily based characteristics and qualities of human nature he came to epitomize.
This little film shows Tuesday's simulcast between the London and New York OCCUPY communities. I flew out to the encampment at St. Paul's Cathedral, and we sang the 99% song together, across the Atlantic - what a wonderful moment! That made the whole London visit worth it - when Londoners held up a sheet to show the Stop Shopping Choir from Wall Street.

Believing that the Earth is our god, government, economy and culture - all wrapped into one big institution - that is simple common sense!  When we draw our last breath together, all the functions of living will be mixed together in that one breath. There won't be separate powers anymore.

The Christianized Jesus - the turning of a radical into a conservative shadow of his former self - explains our problem of establishing and celebrating freedom fighters today. It is important that our progressive heroes be given a deserved fame, an accurately reported fame. This is crucial in ways that impact our own activism.
Exorcism - the act of driving out a dark spirit that has possessed a person or a place, by commanding it to leave in the name of a more powerful power, in our case the life of the Earth - this is one of the oldest of our human rituals. However, exorcisms are also embedded in the arts of our culture like little noticed but powerful micro-climates.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
