The constant mess within the church is just ridiculous at times, and the older people are usually the culprits. Nevertheless, I go to church because I love my God, the people and their ceremonies and gossip and drama has never been a problem because after I worship my Lord, I'm out the door.Student of the Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274355719889708059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12869083.post-24448206410435758652010-09-26T03:02:35.631-05:002010-09-26T03:02:35.631-05:00religion is manmade. free-thinkers like ourselves ...religion is manmade. free-thinkers like ourselves KNOW that. we KNOW that God/Goddess is within.... and everyone around and including ourselve is/are God/Goddess in embryo. <br /><br />hugz... glad to see you posting.NeenaLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444347534387079670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12869083.post-1509688928042584262010-09-25T17:43:16.774-05:002010-09-25T17:43:16.774-05:00I am less concerned about 'the country' as...I am less concerned about 'the country' as I am about 'us'. Gonna take a flier and think that is where Hassan is going here.<br /><br />Maybe I am assuming too much, but as someone who does not exactly fit in with the stereotype that BLACK PEOPLE believe about 'us', I wonder when myself, we will start being more honest and accepting of all the people who obviously enrich our community.<br /><br />Black folks have a hard time with doing that, being honest and inclusive. But we want to be 'let in' without reservation. Until we start being accepting of all of us, can we expect acceptance for any of us?<br /><br />As to the hypocrisy of the church and its role in dividing us... if I was going to ramble about that, I have my on blog to do that in!Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12869083.post-54690012813059923262010-09-25T13:37:19.137-05:002010-09-25T13:37:19.137-05:00ReLIEgion was and is meant as a form of CONTROL vs...ReLIEgion was and is meant as a form of CONTROL vs. SPIRITUALITY.

We don't live in a country where people of power can often instigate valuable discussion that results in change. Nope.
