Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
Say this about the Paris tragedy: it at least upgraded topic A in the public consciousness to something more substantial than fuckin' Starbucks coffee cups.
Yes, enough with religion. Without it, the entire human race might actually start living for today, make the most of their lives, realize we are only one of the species on this earth and start taking care of the planet here and now.
I'll "#Pray for Paris" -- if somebody will tell me just what good it will do? If there is a supreme being whose favor must be curried that way, while ISIS blows things up in the meantime -- that ain't a supreme being I really want any part of.

Religion is what's wrong with the human species. The true purpose of religion is to gain power over the masses. Look at history if you disagree.
ReplyDeleteSpirituality, on the other hand, is what makes us who/what we are.
Someone sent me a copy from her facebook page, and I love it! It's honesty is simply beautiful.
