Father's Day

Jottings in school kids scratch books :
* 'My dad was the greatest, really! A man who'd give another a chance at making it in the world. . He made it possible for the world to know the next greatest - me'
* "My dad showed me first-hand all the mistakes, wrong, wasteful self-destructive habits a man should never try or take up. That's how great he was: drinks, drugs, wine, women, gambling, drifting restlessness, irresponsibility - he done them all'
* 'My dad was an underachiever - nothing much he done. None of the Evil, crooked, destructive, anti-social, irresponsible, murderous, genocidal, unholy, stuff other dads did. What a Sod, no wonder Mom left!
* 'My dad? Huh? I thought Mom was a single mother?
* 'My dad? He was just here    -                  35 years ago.

Oh well -- never could understand what the huuhaaah it was that  needed to celebrate a no brainer act which involved little motivation, almost zero training, no dedication, hardly much devotion, discipline or even ANY serious effort - fathering a kid!?

AND Please DON'T start about Mother's day will you !!

THE MEANING to LIFE...

° there is none.

° there is no need for any. 

° those who say or believe a purpose or meaning is necessary has great need to re-examine themselves or get      

   themselves examined.

° there is need for a meaning to 'life' - ONLY if you are having nothing BETTER to do. 

• You mean there is a need to explain or justify your needs,  
  your wants, your urges,  your intentions, your self serving  

  cravings, your charity, your adoration, your love, your deeds,   
  done with good or bad or no intentions?

• You need a meaning to justify the breaths you take, the  

  beats of your heart, the thoughts that come & go in you, the ecstasy of a moment of over-powering emotion ?

~ Do you have to explain, to find meaning in everyday things  

   you do without thinking? 

~ Do you need to find meaning in things you find difficult to  

   understand, which you also do rather well? 

~ Do you have a necessity to explain, to find a reason, a   

   purpose, to ennoble, to make 'great', what trillions like you  

   are doing along a similar trajectory all days and nights of 

   their lives? 

~ There is a need to account for these acts, thoughts, ideas, 

   plans, devices, inventions etc. etc. which countless others 

   long gone, dead and forgotten, have done, spontaneously,   

   in far better, greater, (more devious perhaps), awesome, 

   astounding ways?

• You mean in all this while you have a need to justify or 
  explain or answer to anyone, the thoughts, expressions, 
  deeds you have been actuating, fomenting or just obsessing  
  on? 
• You have to have a reason, purpose to perform or not 
  perform what you have been doing, undoing or simply 
  paying scant regards for, in your living?

∆ If all the stuff you have engaged in all these while ARE WITHIN the confines of the community you live in; whether the practice of religious deviationism, Dalai Lamaism, Catholicism or Christianity, blasphemy, Nazism, Capitalism, Putinism, Maoism, Beatleism, yourMotherism, Mormonism,  cannibalism, cunnilingism, sodomy, Sai Babaism, nudism, Atheism;  AND you have NOT been decapitated, invaded or in every other way neutered THEN there is NO NEED for any meaning or justification!

UNLESS you are feeling very disturbed, troubled, unable to blissfully do what you are doing or thinking or just observing being done! 
In which case you need plan 26!

LIFE is meant to be just lived. What else do you think there is to it than to just live it?

° If you feel you wish to marry and procreate then do it within the rules of the community you live in, within the rules of Nature as it was meant to be. Don't for fucks sakes marry your priest and try to copulate, procreate with him if THAT IS NOT ALLOWED in your circle! OK?

° Same goes with attempting to screw and make a child with your 'mother' ( which might have taken place way back in the beginning then, when there were only 3 creatures on this entire earth. But that is irrelevant here & is unprovable & conjectural ). 

The laws of any society are formulated for the expediency, the preservation of the well being, the good function of the members of that community. They were devised that members of that community would be enabled to attain the maximum potential (also perhaps the lowest level) of their aspirations, in every sphere of human endeavor/enterprise. These laws may not be applicably good or well meaning or even considered, in a differently set up community. 

Ω ~ Would a person who loves a varied diet ever be able to have satiation or find fulfillment  in a vegetarian community which enforces strict vegetarianism? 
Ω ~ Similarly would one be able to achieve any level of development of human spirit in a society that frowns on and imposes strict draconian policing of 'freedoms'.

The only need or rights any sentient creature on this earth need, is to appreciate and understand : 
 OTHERS too share the habitat.
 OTHERS too have a right to be here to do what they so  
 desire.

Don't infringe or lessen these rights. Even if your ways will be beneficial to them (you think)  DON"T ! 
"What might be fragrant to you is to another stinky fart" 

"Don't do unto others what you want done to you…not everyone practices your way of life" 

Would you wish to do to others, what you are vehemently unable to accept done to yourself? And would you coerce, attempt to influence, through economic sanctions, through blasts from drones; through 'shock & awe' through overwhelming might, the values of your society (values & preferences, mostly decided arbitrarily by your 'demon-craticaly elected leaders) on others whom you wish to 'help' ? 

"Freedom is only when some one else's isn't curtailed"

Policemen are unnecessary in any non-intrusive, free community of thinking, considerate, people practicing benevolent selflessness. 

The MEANING to LIFE :

SIMPLY finish, expire your short spell here on this 'WONDER' with the least unnecessary impact which might negate the Glory,  Beauty, and finely balanced Perfection of the Creator.

And you thought ??

Is this the premise on which Christian LOVE is established

*If according to Christians God's love is so gloriously Agape how is it that HE will not embrace those who do not love or accept His Son our Lord JC?
*If a Christian father or mother or grandpa or grandma is able to love their children and grandchildren even if these kids take out an affidavit or make a statutory declaration they do not acknowledge or recognize their parents & grandparents, would the Love of the parents/grandparents even then be with-held?
*If you can love an unrepentant child who adamantly refuses your love what is lesser in God to be unable to accept His created 'children'?

*Are we exerting our spiritual ego when  insisting on Heaven only for our own Christians based on a single verse in the bible that - "No one comes to the Father accept through me" (so St. Paul said JC said) Thus is it then correct to surmise that within the books comprised the Holy Bible the God from whom His son came, has imparted ALL needed for Christians to understand? 
 On a single encompassingly exclusive phrase, presumed  critical  for gaining eternal salvation, Christians have degenerated spiritually! Are Believers in a romanticized Christian God now better than the Jews of old who held the gentiles as outcasts? Yet we call ourselves brothers of JC and sharers in the Kingdom, when we originally were not the chosen - not Jews;
 Have we thus become more chosen now & are looking at the non Christ-believers as gentiles, as they do not fulfill the single paramount condition of accepting and acknowledging Christ as Lord & Saviour?
*On what premise is this restrictive Love based? On the all encompassing AGAPE Love God has or on the exclusive love reserved only for the chosen the ones who HUMBLY(?) accepts our Lord as savior? 
Members of the exclusive Christ Club!
What did JC say when he said (according to St Paul) that the kingdom is opened now to gentiles & not just only Jews. As Pope Francis just said managing to  attract a load of spiritual exclusivity & arrogant posturing, breasts thumping & religious staking of the spiritual borders to exclude "gentiles' & non "Christian"
If His love is extended even to infectious lepers, sinners, tax collectors, whores & pariahs & especially 'vermins' what should disable Him from accepting or embracing folks who do godly works but are not of the same religious Faith or Groups  - i.e. not Christians or even believers in the savior or even in a supernatural god?
John 10:35 " .. but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him" & this is from one of those same books that make up HOLY BIBLE.
Acts 10:28 - Peter said to them:  "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean". If Peter should not call others impure or unclean, should it not be even more so Christians should not?
 Yet having the LOVE in them they do acts which are godly, (& Christian, if you will), but they do not profess the faith as brothers & sisters of our Lord, and are thus NOT to be accepted into the Kingdom of our CREATOR?
What motivates (so-called)missionaries to forsake their comfort zones & homes to make supreme 'sacrifice' so to bring the good news to those who have never heard of Him; even to the far UNCIVILIZED reaches of the world? I wonder often; if it were really LOVE or was it an expression of religious superiority, patronization and haughty misplaced attempts to justify the Christian's (often misinterpreted idea) of  LOVE.
Simple put if we Christians are able to appreciate God's AGAPE unconditional love which is a respecter of no person or acts of good works to qualify for His grace and receive salvation yet find it hard to appreciate He would love an unbeliever, on the extremely, irrelevant ONE SINGLE qualifying criterion set by ourselves, we need MUCH MUCH more loving patience & good earthly time to get cognizance of that fact! - Christians DO NOT practice God's LOVE! 
We profess shout from roof tops empathize with suffering folks, declare lasting devotions to Him BUT thats about it - we DON"T personify His LOVE.
WE ONLY ARE VERY GOOD AT VERBALIZING LOVE
We now appreciate why many do not wish to associate with Christianity, preferring  to be labelled godless  Atheists.
If Christian charity is restrictive, & Salvation is extended to only Christ acceptors, does it not become obvious why atheists are opting not to associate with these new JEWS?

'Atheists are those who know a god that don't belong to any religion'

Ode to the 'need for silly heroics'...or 'Until the cows come home'

""….ours is not to reason why, neither ours to do or die, so too it is not ours to mourn or cry…""
Ours is to indulge this short temporal transition, immersing ourselves in complete awe & astounding wonder; in exhilaration & in sensual, spiritual joy;
 
that this marvel of creational  perfection, so mysterious & unfathomable, puzzling in beauty; inexplicably complex yet balanced with seeming simplicity; brimming with limitless diversity,  yet instinctively singular & persistent in purpose;
was even formed
  & that undeserving us,  were chosen & offered to not forego the blessed LIFE experience.
And when all is said, done & complete perhaps ours then is to wonder why a once only incomparable experience could so wastefully be squandered away by  any need to  "" ….. reason why, to do or die, to mourn or to even cry…""
 Each of us creature's commission simply is : ""… REJOICE!  CELEBRATE ! LIVE!
In Good & in Strife, in Joy & Pain, in Love & Sorrow; in ALL & SUNDRY - RAISE US OUR SPIRITS - for soon enough, the dying  will come …""
Yet the indomitability of will, the tenacity of the spirit, the indestructibility of LIFE …even in DEATH - nothing ends.….""

BLAST AT BOSTON...

DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO VICTIMS & LOVED ONES OF BOSTON BOMBING

Yes EVERYONE DESERVES & everyone DEMANDS ANSWERS
the affected folks - the victims -  the concerned citizens, the non-partisan public - ALL DEMAND ANSWERS.


All right thinking people DESERVE answers to how wanton random acts of murder are ENABLED, are ALLOWED.
All right thinking people DESERVE answers why such acts ARE NOT STOPPED

 THE ANSWERS ARE NOT to questions of 'why' or 'who'  
This is NOT ABOUT ETHNIC, RACIAL OR RELIGIOUS HATRED, manifesting in violent murderous acts.
 This should not be about promoting or condoning Xenophobic attitudes.
 This should not be about promoting religious intolerance & hatred or discrimination

*THIS IS ABOUT THE ABILITY OF SO-INCLINED MALEVOLENT MALE-CONTENT PSYCHOPATHIC INDIVIDUALS TO VENT DEEP SEATED ANGER WITH SUCH MURDEROUS EFFECTS, WITH IMPUDENCE WITH SUCH SEEMING EASE

*THIS IS ABOUT HOW KILLING INSTRUMENTS COULD BE GOT WITH LITTLE RESTRICTIONS. 

*THIS IS ABOUT WHY NON-MILITARY PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO KILL ANY MAN IN THE STREETS.

*THIS IS ABOUT HOW WHEN INDIVIDUALS DECIDES TO KILL LITTLE IS THERE TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE.

THAT'S WHERE THE ANSWERS SHOULD START.... YES EVERYONE DESERVES, DEMANDS ANSWERS

THE ANSWER IS STARING US ALL IN THE FACE - SHOUTING FROM THE BARRELS OF GUNS, FROM THE ROAR OF THE BOMB BLASTS,  FROM THE ACRID SMOKE  OF THE EXPLOSIVES, FROM THE WAILS OF THE BEREAVED VICTIMS, FROM THE BLOOD DRENCH SIDEWALKS.

Are we brave enough to answer, or do we TALK , make nice sounding sympathetic, patronizing, platitudes & regretful rhetorics?

Queer how we could get congressional consensus to blast foreign nations & their citizens to smithereens with seeming ease, with complete abandon & disregard  -  BUT CANNOT AGREE TO DISALLOW OUR OWN CITIZENS FROM MURDERING OUR OWN.

O AMERICA SO SAD FOR YOU
WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP

Why was it done...

     There will never be a satisfactory answer for the question. As many as there are different interest groups wanting answers just as many will be the plausibility of why and what and who (is) are involved with the formation of the universe and the reasons for CREATION.
From the spiritual consideration it is simple, one might say "..it was a supremely "capable" Entity who had tremendous powers we humans as yet are unaware of & do not yet possess" - they call him God.
& from that came many of the stories & teachings we all know and regard as Religions and Faiths.

This is not about denying the Creation of the Universe by God

This is a simple reason why:

 - HE WAS EXPRESSING AN EXUBERANCE OF EMOTIONS SO DIVINELY OVERPOWERING, ON AN IMMENSITY & MAGNITUDE HUMANS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND -

   
    It can very primitively be likened to a human artist with an immense creative urge, producing a masterpiece with paint; only in HIS case it was a living, pulsing, kinetic finished end result. And with the 'creative' medium He used, the tremendous powers He only has - the finished "picture", the "expression", the "work" was Cosmic in grandeur, in scale, in its tremendous mind boggling complexity!! And it is vibrantly a LIVING CREATION.
 
    It could also very crudely be likened in a very limited way to  a huge whale leaping from the ocean out of sheer Joy - by itself an ordinary 'whale' event, just an expression of a whale emotion - however due to the immensity of the force which the creature commands the after effect is awesome - a huge spectacular splash like no other!


  Translate the force of the whale with the spectacular splash, & the beauty of the artist's masterpiece; & multiply those forces of 'expressions' with the supreme exuberance expressed by the Maker when He released His Joy - & due to His awesome powers - The Universe came into existence

 - A creative work so spectacularly perfect, so splendidly balanced & yet so  intricately complex,  unfathomable & infinite in its wonders.

    Humans study, analyze and attempt to unravel Creation. By so doing they imagine they would know the INTELLECT, understand the ENTITY which formed it.
    Many when they failed to gather any connection between the Universe and the Maker deny His existence and give many reasons and theories as to how it came about.
   
    Very simply if one studies an object say, a washing machine, eventually one would know rather a lot on the object being studied. BUT the person who made the machine, (or the factory from whence the object was formed) is not at all related to or in any way linked to the object, how then could any knowledge or understanding be gained about Him from studying the washing machine? 
Humans might derive that perhaps the maker of the washing machine likes cleanliness, or that he lives in a place where water is plenty,  or that he likes to clean in bulk, or that he enjoys seeing spinning wheels or listening to the sound of water gurgling. But other than such derivations, there is nothing in a million years of studying and tearing of the washing machine apart that is ever going to make anyone wiser about its engineer - who, what he is and the reason why he made what he made!
    Would it then be reasonable to conclude that the washing machine came into existence by a very complex juxtaposition of many unrelated factors which made conditions conducive to it being formed?

   Thus it is counterproductive & futile for any right thinking person to even attempt to understand the Maker of the Universe by studying His Handiwork - Nature and Creation.
Besides in this short life - THERE IS NO NEED TO DO THAT.
It is SUFFICIENTLY enriching if humans enjoy, explore & appreciate & learn about the INTELLIGENCE, BENEVOLENCE, & THE PERFECT PRECISE GENIUS which formed this Creation.
    And taking it up another step  .. humans need to know that after realizing the immense beauty and perfection He had brought into existence, He wanted to have us share in the wonderment.
 
And simply THAT IS OUR ROLE IN THIS LIFE -

'TO APPRECIATE WHILE WE LIVED OUT THE SHORT EARTHLY EXISTENCE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN, THE WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE EXPERIENCE' 

The rest of other complicating rituals, faiths, sacraments, doctrines dictums, obligations  edicts do not factor in the equation of life.
And when one realizes that HE does not need or require an ounce of our worship or adoration it becomes even clearer the entire un-necessity of religion.

The Sacrifice of the Lamb to repay in blood, a debt ....

     

    Having lost Salvation, in order to regain it, (so says  the Church) a debt had to be repaid in Blood!

In the first place how was Grace lost? How did Man lose Salvation or the divine Grace?

All because Man had (supposedly) committed sin (wronged God) by doing what Man naturally were made to do - commit an act very natural to our innate self i.e. something we had been programed to be naturally inclined to do? Like the hungry tiger snapping at the lamb or the cat grabbing the unattended fish or the priests preaching about God, or the bird flying or the fish refusing not to fly! 

ALL NATURAL PROCESSES BUILT IN ALL  CREATURES GOD MADE!

After having done what we are made to do, the Church says we lost us our Grace & we now owe a debt.

Who is owing who in the first place & who needs to pay whom? 

Is God also into a trading, commercial buy sell system?

Is Divine affairs also tainted with debits, credits and balance  sheets? 

We humans (according to Church) lost Grace and only the Son of God can magnanimously bear the burden of paying God, the Father by spilling His (the son's) blood so as to redeem our (created beings') debt. 

Both Father & Son are one & the same entity - one of 3 inThe Holy Trinity. 

If I were the Father possessing Divine abilities to just say and have it done,  would I not be simple & write off what I owe myself by saying: "Let it be paid" ? And it would have been settled?! 

   But no, Church has come up with an explanation that:

Rather, I God, would prefer go the tortuous (dramatic & 'beneficial' to Church's agenda?) way of impregnating a Virgin, {who had to be pre-configured to be without Original Sin - whatever THAT is} through my other persona the Holy Ghost,  then have my Son go through the pity-evoking birth in a forlorn stable, & grow up to diametrically oppose  & vehemently frenzy-up the entire socio-political setting he was put in, to such a murderous rage that they had no choice but to kill Him. 

All these just so that I as Jesus the Son could be killed & thus spilling my precious Blood, in order to repay the debt humans supposedly owed the Father; who essentially is also me, being the same entity as myself, Jesus the Son! 

Does it not appear to be really a very Life -endangering trade when debts owed has to be settled with the spilling of blood! And imagine an ALL LOVING God wanting to get repayment through killing, when even other vicious loan sharks happily settle for cash?! 

And after enraging the Pharisees and others to kill the Son, I the Father, resurrects the dead Son  - effectively making his tormentous dying a non-event similar to and just as painful as drinking and other natural processes.

And all this was 'cos we did what we Man naturally were made to do! And LOST GRACE; thus the whole rigmarole of the REPAYMENT of the DEBT had to be carried out! 

Even thinking about this tires a person let alone having to figure out the truth of the entire story of the Sacrifice!

  Great Indeed is the mind which worked up this tale !

   Other than faithful believers with unquestioning faith or someone with no independent original thought, this story is entirely in the realm of the unbelievably ridiculous. Even though humans were not imbued with divine Intelligence the simple basic logic we have makes such a convoluted bizarre story very, very unpalatable. 

If one were to have Faith in the Divinity of the Maker of the universe, a Persona with the HIGHEST, NOBLEST GREATEST of all INTENTS, would one not at least expect Him to possess some reasonably acceptable more expedient way of conducting Himself   than what Christianity (& other religious organizations)have theologized Him to have done?

THIS POST IS NOT REFUTING GOD or what one would call the MAKER; a persona who created all ! 

The foregoing refutes the ideas and claims associated with God, or attributed to Him, to justify the existence and relevance CHURCH or religion; the entire story on how we needed Jesus Christ to come get born through a very convoluted process, involving the dishonoring of an honorable virgin, asking her to make such a tremendously brave decision; then to suffer, die and get resurrected, just that a debt we supposedly owed to His Father who essentially is Himself can be paid by His son's spilling blood! 

Rationally dwell on this and you might just see the ridicule of the entire premise.

Just because no one can prove God exist or refute Him does not need Church to come forth with such a tale to claim it true -  again assumed true just because the tale cannot be refuted!

It is completely true there are many good priests and religious doing great charity & performing outstanding sacrifice in working for the ideals of Godliness without any realization that Church and all the theology we are told as divine TRUTH is really Divine or true! 

If one meets a good truly loving and charitable sacrificing and godly priest one should be convinced that there indeed is God, & be assured of His goodness. At the same time just because there are good, honest priests, the theology associated with the religion which Church tells Christians as being the divine Truth is actually divine and truthful??!

It is very difficult, almost impossible to practice worship or adoration of God without religion. Structure-less worshipping & honoring the Maker may be reflex for those possess of higher intellects, the man of common born has need for prosthetic aid in the form of doctrines, sacraments & other aids vis statues, rituals, chants, mantras, likeness etc .

Perhaps therein lie the reason people flock to Church. It is easier, less tedious, to just follow than try to work out what God intended for us. 

We may think with the complexity of Creation staring us in the face His intent for us must be really difficult or impossible for us Man to grasp.  

One would be surprised and pleasantly elated by its COMPLETE simplicity ......... 

to be continued.
