Only the Heretics,one and all Defilers

And by HERETIC I mean! The scum of the "church "Repressors of the Spirit" The Drug dealer that sells to minors, The "anarcist" that snitches. The Racist taking Minortity money, On,and on and on..... Religion and drugs bring people together who would usually have nothing to do with each other,sadly some times to argue each others view of the same coin (How one way of taking the sacrament is,more "holy then" the others way) When The Building,comes before the Spirit.... When Prayer groups turn to Gossip... I personally feel even so called Satanist are,of the same coin different side ,(If the same Idol you proclaim is a creation of that which you denounce...* an enigma for the late night coffee.) I chose to move Toward the Horizon and Beyond to join the other Escape Artist. If you are beside me in trouble,we will get out together.If you attempt to keep me in trouble you are an enemy.If you lead innocence to corruption weather with religion,drugs,sex , etc.etc. you deserve the lions. But Out right , Murder of all who profess a spiritual awareness,will not even scratch the surface ,work of the TRUE DEFILERS Who hide among social orders,street corner dealers,weed them from your mist and let others clean their omn trash. I make company with only the consistant,be they good ,true, or confused. The Individual is the exception. I despise the Heretic,one and all.There is no redemtion among them. In Ink, IKnow...

True religion

is found within.No need for so called holy books. No need for churches/mosques etc. True religion is enjoying being a human being and not inflicting any harm towards any living creature.This is the simplistic overview, but adequate. Leaving childhood is were, I believe, our problems set in. Lenny

You probably are right

about saying Jesus would be sad at those who call themselves Christians. I believe In God and I also believe Jesus to be the son of God. I do not attend church because I do not need the person sitting next to me to see my new dress or my new hat and my expensive purse and jewelry to be close with God. I have been hurt and discusted by what I have seen in some churches and what I see on tv. I hold church in my heart and that is good enough for me. I like this one but it also saddens me :( Julie

I too

have experienced the sunday hypocrits parade! My belief is this:- Jesus was the person who at 30 became aware of the Christos. He showed us all that we too can evolve to the level of spiritual evolution, the realisation that the Christ Essence is within each one of us. Thanks for your comments Julie. I agree with your observations of church life. Lenny
