Gods and Monsters

"Gods and Monsters" Ying Yang Black White Dark Light One God meets another in the middle of the night, are they at odds with one another? Or just shuffling Decks of cards, playing with each other for the same stakes they're the Jokers holding the same rites (sic) rights? Right? Sin Virtue Good Bad Wrong Right Who’s to say this God is not one and the same? He holds the Rod alright. An American child cries inconsolably for months turns into years a murdered parent the Twin Towers bloody burning crumbling terror people jump from windows fly like birds of freedom watched on Television like a movie about Icarus, though their God’s no Daedalus - falling downward spirals through corrupt politicians' smokescreens, these buggers are holding bibles. Who do you believe in this conspiracy? God? Where is God in all of this? Hiding or ever near? Who is God in all of this? He has disappeared. Over there you have a Syrian child head eviscerated, impaled on a post eyes half-opened wide in a playground no inhale, no smile the body has been cast aside while their fathers watch on crucified dead surveying all the beauty lying around. Cold blooded slaughtered for standing by their one true Christian God, never taking the other deity's side, they stand firm in their belief not denouncing, they had courage, even though there was no relief… They’ve stood their ground they’ve watched their mother who’s just been raped and slaughtered like a goat, a cut throat, thrown dead in front of them thrown face down in the dirt by a platoon of rabid monsters, who dance in her bloody moat…. and then they turn upon the sons and daughters of their land with brusque demand, “Who is your God?" Who is your God, now!” The murderer’s raise their rifles and their hands yell ,”Allahu Akbar, this is God! God of All the Lands!”. Gods and Monsters Where is the Source? Where is the Creator? Surely soon he shall be seen - for God is not a coward, he will eventually come clean, reveal all when we least expect it... that’s how a good movie ends, and then we will all come together and together we will ALL kneel as friends in our terror, surely not in glory ALL our nations’ religions, this is HIS story, this is history “ARRIVAL” - One True God.

I agree with your sentiments... we can try to harbour hate with love and you are right we will only know the truth when we die, or maybe not even then.. You must be from down under..

Questions so many ponder... how many of his favours can you deny? Is it God or those who follow him that are the problem? You have a unique writing style that makes one ponder...

"Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is LOVE." Corinthians

S.O.So here's what I'm thinking. There is only one God/Source/Creator and in us there is God, the I AM. He/She/It has given us the choice to choose Love (Light) or Evil (Dark). In all of us both reside. It is within us to overcome (Dark), the only way to make it to the Light (LOVE) is through the Dark. Sometimes the Dark is too overpowering and it takes over an entire person/people. Some people drown in the dark, until they are saturated in it. It's all rather deep and murky and we will only comprehend the full true answer to those questions, if and when, we fully meet the Light. Stand in the light. The closer we come to walking in the Light or meeting the Light, it becomes somewhat clearer, until we are fully standing in it. I think a person has to try reaching out for the Light (Love), no matter how Dark their thoughts. Well, that's how I try to analyse it in my addled brain. It is 6.30am, so not very articulate. For the time being. LUX VITAE.

It's the children I worry most about. They should never have to endure any of this. My daughter commences University in 2018, she has switched from her interest in Publishing...which she held from the ages 10-15yrs to finally choose Politics (a dirty business).I was concerned at first.However,I believe it all starts with the children.If we survive this,the children who're now becoming adults have been left with our mess to fix. Religion?I'm not a subscriber.Belief, faith in good overcoming bad. Yes.

The majority of Muslims are good loving people. Their Sunni Creed is close to the Nicene Creed. Perhaps there should be a "One World Government" with no Religion..that's another story for another time.
