Who is Light?
Some personify Light, others do not
What is Light?
A stream of photons
Where is Light?
Wherever you can see more than darkness, light is certainly there
When is Light?
Since the Big Bang, unto the end
Why is Light?
...
...I don't know...
Kashira? Kashira?
(Gozonji kashira?)
Curiosity is a gift, not a curse.
How do I know?
-wink- It's a secret!
Humanity is so much greater because we question everything.
Look at our improvement of life,
look at those we feed, and clothe
how many more are in the world
and see we are working at it, we really are.
(And yes, I do see the problems too.
Bombs, nukes, war, chemical weaponry.
It's all a question of increased power.
A child can only use tiny fists.
An adult can uses swords.)
We are going from youth to adolescence.
So we grow in collective mind and body
more power
more possibilities for pain and joy
slowly learning,
seemingly ever-so-slowly
but working still.
We are human.
That's why there is pain
and hurt and suffering.
Humanity is not perfect, so
we will make failings and mistakes
people will die and hurt and suffer.
And slowly, our race learns
(I believe I believe I believe I believe!)
Children cannot comprehend.
So, children need a parent,
someone to watch over them,
to make rules for them
to be there.
We are becoming an adult.
Why does an adult need someone
to rule over one like a despot?
We do not need a dictator
(there were good dictators, most good parents are)
when we become adults.
We need advice, though.
We require someone to guide us
to suggest and help,
but who knows we must do it by ourselves.
We need a helping hand.
Why a jealous God?
Isn't jealousy childish?
Are we not becoming adults?
What we need,
is someone to believe
just like Carrot (gods bless his soul)
that we really are good chaps under it all
so we can believe it
make it a self-fufilling prophecy.
Humanity is not evil.
Humanity is not good.
Humanity is not perfect.
Those three explain it all.
Actions can be good and evil.
Someday we will agree on boundaries.
on what is good and what is bad
perhaps based on the Golden Rule
Do you think?
(I must say I reject fully Moral Relativism. It's utter stupidity, in my opinion. We can do so much better.)
The Bible is a pretty storybook.
No, I'm wrong.
The Bible is a beautiful, but flawed, work.
Translations have done it's work on it.
It is no longer the same exact work.
Do you know, incidentally,
that the Bible does not say,
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"?
It actually says,
"Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live."
And the Bible has much wisdom.
I fully agree.
But it is wrong
to say it is The Book
and holy above all else
and expect others to accept
to convert or be damned
(because that's what it is in the end, isn't it?
Harvestboy, isn't it?
All the people of Africa and Asia
and the Native Americans
and Celts and Pacific Islander
they never got told about God or Jesus
so all the generations of a thousand years
before their contact with Western Civilization
are damned to the lake of lava.
You say that God said, in essence, "Too bad."
Neh?)
It is wrong to say it of any book.
Koran or Bible or Torah or The Book of Latter-Day Saints
"Follow me and me alone,
or you're toast."
Not that I think it should be outlawed.
As much as I despise their methods,
they have the right to say what they want
as do I, luckily,
and everyone around us.
We can debate and argue
we can rant and flame
ignore and listen
because that's what's so great about freedom.
We can say it.
~~~~~
So I believe.
Here I witness.
Believe in yourself.
