The Box. It is an even vortex that sucks in fundamentalists, and traps them. These people never leave their box, their narrow mind set of rigid rules... I have news for you people in The Box, have you ever thought you might be offending the man you worship? Your Box starts with a book, written by men, whom you have never known, whom you must trust in order to believe. And these men influence other men, who preach rules, and speak condemnations. But look at what your Jesus once preached... LOVE. This man taught to love EVERYONE, and forgive EVERYONE. How can you tell me you can condemn ANYONE? The man you worship would weep if he heard your tongues spewing such hate. And who are you to worship him? In his eyes, he would have seem himself an idol. He taught the word of HIS FATHER. So this Christianity? Would Jesus have wanted this? As a Jew, did he come to start a new religion, or did he come to promote for the chosen people of God? And if so, you realize you are smacking him in the face... He taught never to worship idols, and what more is Jesus than an idol (to Jesus at least)? So while you sit in your Box, in your clubs, praying for all us sinner who will burn when the rapture comes, I pray for you. I pray you can see there is more to your Box than you know... And even more outside of your Box, and I plead for you to come join us in a quest. A quest to reinvent morality, soul, love, life as we know it. And if you can't join me, then think of W.W.J.D., such a good idea that I think all Christians need to really dig deep into...
Enough about that, and more about... Love. I talked a little bit about Soul last time, and now I will talk about another of my principles, Love, but incorporating it with the other principle of Soul. Love is a part of your soul I feel. The ancient Greeks had a great idea that we were all once a bigger entity, and the Gods became angry, and split us into two separate entities, and sent us on a quest to find our other half. So we search our whole lives, for this other half, no matter what form it comes in. Now that may be a radical idea to accept, but the main idea is still held pretty strong in our culture if you look at it. Now a days we say we are looking for our "soul mate". And I have struggled with the question, "Do you believe in 'soul mates?'", for a very long time, and I think my answer is a very complex yes. I believe that our soul is bonded to many other souls, be it through time spent together, or just a notion of "clicking" with someone, and ultimately there is one soul that was/is our "other half" if you will. And I believe another part of reaching "nirvana" is spending at least one life with our "soul mate". And I believe you spend plenty together, and the more time you spend together, the closer you mate will come to you in a next life. Souls can just be drawn together in unexplainable ways, and I believe that is how "soul mates" occur.
And if I wasn't literally falling asleep right now, I'd continue writing this... Ha ha... Until tomorrow.
"As a Jew, did he come to start a new religion, or did he come to promote for the chosen people of God?"
