My son's father suffered this fate. I know of the damage personally. My catholic training taught that we were given free will by our Creator and it is incumbent upon us to make good choices. That worked with my Hindu upringing understanding of free will, cause and effect and karma. Now I see it as all of that AND a creative Creation. There is alot of freedom in this view. As opposed to what i call the flat earth point of view. Let go to yourself. You may only fall off a man made edge (no real cliffs please) To quote: Love and Rockets, No New Tale To Tell "You cannot go against nature Because when you do ...Going against nature is part of nature too Our little lives get complicated It's a simple thing Simple as a flower and that's a complicated thing" Condolences to the Baptists and especially the Fire & Brimstone variety. My son’s father suffered this fate. I know of the damage personally.

Love and Rockets,

No New Tale To Tell

“You cannot go against nature
Because when you do
…Going against nature is part of nature too

Our little lives get complicated
It’s a simple thing
Simple as a flower and that’s a complicated thing”

Thanks for asking David. Happy belated Easter and may your life be filled with pastel rainbows. (wretch.) and chocolate rabbits, yuum. On a serious note, I once saw a painting of Jesus walking on the beach with his few close disciples. This image greatly impressed me, the simplicity and pure enjoyment of life and walking in wisdom struck me and I wanted it wth everything in me. (I still want it!) Soon after seeing the painting, I was drawn to a Guru that claimed to be the incarnation of God on Earth, and this was my chance to be a close disciple and walk with The Lord on Earth! Of course i signed on the dotted line and became an aspiring disciple. Six years wearing seamless robes, spending most of my days in unpaid service to the guru. Long story. am free now. Whew.! Somehow, some authentic part of me survived and allowed me to find a more existential, buddhist, naturalist - much preferable life. I regret those years in a cult and in some ways view it as lost time. I try to take what pearls of widom there are to retain. So not is all lost, eh. Long life to you all. Peace, Grace.

What popped into my head as I read your curious little message was irreverant but here goes: what if Jesus had been a body builder? A muscle man who shunned steroids & lived a healthy, weight-lifting life, that cross would have been a piece of cake & just imagine those bulging arms stretched out , would he have flexed them for the Romans & other onlookers? Instead of that flimsy loincloth some nice speedo coordinated with his sweatband of thorns. I like it; instead of king of the Jews, Mr. Universe. I feel the need to apologise, everyone was so determined to be serious, did I make anyone smile or teehee? No giggles at all? sigh, again, happy Easter Happy Easter Everyone!

Only the guys considering themselves to be "chosen" create the monsters of religion. And then all laughter ends.....
