Violent Choices

What of violence and God; does not death pre-curse life? As each and every creature large or small lives through strife. And, of a righteous wrath, who claims to be source surely an aberration of mans faulty mental course? Some claim to be compelled by a higher power and His Voice, they say they have a calling and have made no human choice. Violence falls upon the land brought by man on man; all are left to wonder how this exists without God’s Hand? Malnourished, over stimulated human kind find a murderous meanings in the convoluted mind. Man has given false meaning to accommodate. Anger does not motivate the most High and holy state, The wise person will look toward lucre, mortal gain. God seeks only a loving heart righteousness not pain.

The Crusades were an example of misbegotten ideals. We can change the world a lot quicker without weapons. GEE! Am I talkin' like a liberal? Vince

We should be patient Deb, people have a strong investment in maintaining an ego built identity. Telling them this identity will vanish in the higher consciousness will freak them out. Everyone is on a unique path and will come to the same realizations we have, just in a lot more time.

Exactly, God and fear are mutually exclusive and have nothing in common. Only the insane try so hard to connect the two that they'll convince themselves that their fear is actually God's voice tell them to carry out his 'plan' which usually involves something weird and very desperate that they do to themselves or to others, like Kevin Spacey in that movie Seven. I'll check out Duh? sounds like a fun read:) Take care Deb.

through one man violence was brought into the world. a man given free will. and man will be short one world one day. then what will he say. when both man and God predicts the distruction of the world. the time is near. john
