• The Pope is in Town WHAT A MESS!!!

  ...and everybody wants to have a look at his red shoes.  Someone woman on the radio said they looked like Prada.

  This may be an offensive post I would caution reading further, but these are my beliefs.

  I'm so glad I don't drive.  He's totally screwing up traffic, but good,  like I mean NO traffic in several places.

  He is coming to the UN to speak to the world.  I won't get to see him cuz I have to work.   I have very negative feelings about this Pope or any other religious leader taking part in state issues.   I won't go into it because I don't have the time to write all of my feelings.

  I do not believe that any human is any more divine than any other human. I believe it is NOTHING BUT politics in and finance in the guise of something 'holy'.   Not only do I believe that it is not holy,  I believe that if there is good vs evil, it weighs heavily on the evil side as do the politicians and every other religious leader except perhaps the Dali Lama who generally does not give a "religious" message in that there isn't such a weightiness to the hierarchy, nor is this prevalent in Judaism nor Islam (of course the latter two are both heavily sexist as well)....

  I see the acts of faith, belief, understanding of the workings of the universe and any other attachment to a God/ess as totally personal not an ORGANIZED nor GROUP experience.

  I see the Babylonians,  the Holy Roman Empire, Constintine, King James, Martin Luther, John Smith, Jim Jones, Sun Yung Moon  you get my drift as people who gained attention and or following... 

  I see modern Christianity as a man made political institution with clearly established roots and the assignation of faith to such a structure as kind of a cop out for personal responsibility or surrender to fear of the IMPOSSIBLE to know unknown.

  We just don't know where we came from,  why we are here,  and there is a HEAVY chance that when we DIE we STILL MIGHT NOT KNOW.

  If you want to go in THAT direction,  and I don't,  WHY would a GOD who created EVIL in the world and SAT BACK to watch what happened,  testing everyone bother EXPLAINING it all to us anyway?

  "OK EVERYBODY, it's the END OF THE WORLD, now listen up cuz HERE's THE TRUTH:....

  okay,  enough bitter sarcasm... and I had a relatively mild religious upbringing...

  I equate the "FEAR OF GOD"  with  "LACK OF FAITH".

  I don't believe in SATAN.

  And it isn't the religious message that I am angry at, it is what man  has done with it, human part,  the hypocrisy,  the pomp and circumstance... the willingness to surrender to presumed or assigned authority.

  I am a highly spiritual being with attachments to a higher power, whom I couldn't possibly begin to name nor identify.

  The only thing I do know for certain is that I don't know.  I can accept that.  A "God" just by nature would be beyond my human ability to understand to begin with.

  I have to go have some yogurt now.

  Now the Pope has made me late!

  They're talking about the security threat he brings,  they say he is a terrorist target, now I wish he weren't here...

  They are actually talking about the lack of Pope souviners on 1010Wins radio.

  Sheeeeeettt.
