SWANA Zion Reich and Load

The cradle of three of the biggest faiths Rocked by the claim one agenda stakes Locked and loaded and ready for war With righteous blessings for terror and gore Sentiments civilities and landscapes pitted All of human decency finally outwitted

Indeed! To practice faith is one thing; to live it is another. You can't practice PEACE (the reality of Love); you must live it! Continue to live and canvass the truth, Maureen. One. Peace and Love.

This truly is deserving of POTD. Wish we could all live and let live no matter race or creed. Thank you for being such a kind soul and for caring. Big hugs from Beirut

A seemingly provocative piece, MM. Potentially divisive on several levels. Good to ponder for oneself and act accordingly. POTD for just this reason. :o))

Not divisive at all if you are for humanity, but well Wayne you have your views.

It was written in the spirit of lament more than provoke, but you can’t not not provoke which I lament even more. Thank you Arlo. ;),

Some are likely to avoid this but I say why? Man's inhumanity to man has been a constant for six millenniums. False religion, introduced by the Devil in Eden, has been an effective instrument in his hands and has been responsible directly or indirectly for all blood shed upon planet earth. Only the Prince of Peace can end war. And he will.

If we as humans, cannot stand up, then why should all dark lords sit down. Free will is what separates us from the deities.

Honest answer: had to look up the latter but I think I understand the gist of it. Without going into a long winded argument let me simply say, any form of worship or philosophy that does not honor and give rightful worship to Jehovah, the sovereign Lord of the universe is false or worthless musings

Maureen McGreavy The Insolent Rib

An honest question Tom, is Atheism, or in my case Panpsychism, considered “false religion”?

Aurore Severo
Date: 9/27/2024 1:02:00 AM

Well Maureen, you have expressed the truth and exposed ignorance as just witnessed. Hugs!

Tom Woody

Nope. He can't make people do anything. It's all about free will

Is this where I say “the devil made me do it”?

The three major faiths are patriarchal and super-charged on testosterone, just look where it's gotten us. As the Navajos believe, it's a world out of balance. Well written and something to ponder. Congratulations on POTD! My best, Robert

Tom Woody

I agree with you. My point is made in my comment above. ALL those practicing false religion are guilty

Robert Gorelick
Date: 9/25/2024 9:29:00 AM

Below, and baptized Christians were shoving Jews in ovens, what's your point? If you want to talk about all the evil Christians have done, fasten your seat belt!

I do tend to agree. Thank you Robert

Past tense (Ben •oni) because now he's ~ " . . . a ravenous wolf" (Ben•jamin~ Gen: 49:27) ~ "in the evening he divides the spoils". America remembers her ancestry (Ephraim) and with blood & fire, Puts Right The World!

I beleieve this is the famous quote, even I am not sure who said it "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”

Yes.

Very well said, funny how silent people can be towards the truth. This is actually not only a well written poem, but a gem simply cause the message speaks.
