Offended We!





Yes, Mr. Dawkins, we should be offended! But let's not just be offended, let's take action to change, go from being offended to being pro-active in our approach to those that do offend the sense and sensibility of humankind and by doing so we can change the channel to one of Love and Peace. 

You and I, and many others, agree that religion is repugnant in many ways, especially the wars and piety that can stem from such, yet it is also repugnant to Creation, along with humankind's great apathy toward Home and one another.

I've always found you to be a rather pragmatic man with a fairly healthy intelligence... and I will soon watch your video in full as this was just an excerpt, but I am not offended by atheism or Christianity, by another's belief, yet I, like you and many others, am offended by the idea of Hell and being told that I shall go there because I do not believe the same as another, who wouldn't be? But I still sense in ALL the story of our reason for being. It is not to judge, it is not to ridicule, it is not to go warring off the edge of sanity... it is to know. To know, not necessarily scientifically, though we can certainly make great strides with our use through such reasoned means, but I believe we will all "know" the truth of our purpose here on planet (H)eartH, Heavenly Home.

Peace and Love

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

Per Plex Ed

            PER+PLEX-ED When you haven’t heard the truth in so long, when you do, it rings a most familiar s ong. That’s the human song, the truth rolling out exactly when it should.      (If a truth is told and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound only to the one that spoke it?)    Yes, but our ears aren’t strong enough to hear it.     [a perplexed silence] © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
