Very funny, Christopher. Bill Maher once tweeted,"So...44% of Rep.s think an ARMED REBELLION might be necessary in the next few years. So if u say most Rep.s are f...ing nuts u'd be off by 7%"

The point was that for chump change they did not represent us, so what do you think they do when it comes to the big bucks that corporations give them?

On the Blog Post "Christians" Without Soul

Sometimes we may only be able to guess, as to if our perspective, is more fulfilling than another’s inner cinemascope.
Perhaps a bit of my history might help. As a teenager I was making plenty of bad choices, until I went through the salvation process at eighteen. I was very happy and continued to grow spiritually as I read the Bible several times. I then got to the point when nobody had any answers for some pretty big questions. That is when I opened myself up to solving these mysteries. I began reading non-stop about anything that would give me a piece of the “big picture”.
From all that reading I came away with a “Christianity” that is greatly different from today’s “Christianity”. I admit that I did study a lot of eastern philosophies, but no single eastern or western source was able to put it all together. The differences are too numerous to list here, but they are extremely rewarding, and I always hope that more people become open to them.
Rather than slamming “Christianity”, and vice versa, we could try to enlighten each with specifics. We could test the waters of communication, by starting with what I think, are trivial non-essential matters. For example, I am not trying to be insulting by using the name Yeshua rather than Jesus. I just know that is how his name was spoken, so sometimes I have a hard time saying his name as if he had been Greek. Is this blasphemy, or is “the rose by any other name”, an acceptable truth with you? -

Thank you for your inputs. Please don’t take this as a personal attack. I am somewhat critical of all fundamentalists. I only picked on “Christians”, since by far, they are the local majority. Please try and forgive me for sounding disrespectful. I have always found it difficult to communicate my complete understanding of the value of “Christianity”. “Christianity” causes an amazing improvement, but the amount of wisdom is limited. Believing in eternal damnation for “unsaved” loved ones, is one of the reasons that “Christians” continue to have to live in a fear-based paradigm.
I generally just want to point out that “Life is always much better than you think.” -

Good point but I think that the greater reality is......

Your numbers look like good results to me...... http://www.aic.gov.au/documents/0/B/6/%7B0B619F44-B18B-47B4-9B59-F87BA643CBAA%7Dfacts11.pdf
It was actually a small buyback compared to the number of guns there, but difficult to make conclusions from so many factors in society, such as that crime rates are mostly down in the world regardless of recent tragic events.
I have seen people on both sides of the issue working together. I think that we can both agree that you should be able to be safe, that sick kids should not be able get their hands on assault weapons. This is a good first step. My only purpose was to try to be a catalyst for talk, and I am looking forward to the ideas coming to the VP in January. Good Day -

I am pretty much undecided about Northern Pass. Your videos that I skimmed through present a good argument for the land, and I would be surprised if corporate greed is not a part of the problem, but would the Northern Pass be a part of the smarter grid of renewable energy that we are looking for? Like I said, I am a bit undecided and wondered if you had more info. Thank you
