Don't let other people ruin your life by filling your head with absurd concepts that benefit Them, not You... I Wrote this Because I Spent Many Hours Listening to Christians Complain about Their Religion in Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings... SAD... Trapped in a Make Believe Cannibal/Vampire Cult... Yep, Those People Pretend to Drink the Blood of Christ and Eat His Body... OOOH! CREEPY! ESCAPE NOW!
Global Awakening is Real and Happening now.

| Awaken Now |
So Many Different Gods... and So Many Believers Loudly Proclaim that THEIR God is the One True God. That's Absurd!
I, like 100% of the people on Earth HAVE NO CLUE if God is real or not.
Some people state that they know... but they are just deluding themselves... I don't mind them deluding themselves, but if they Kill people that are of different Religions... They are Crazy and Dangerous. ----> Here is An Examination of My Beliefs... GOD = Group of Drunks <----
I do pray... I may not believe in God but what if God believes in me? I often send prayers for good health to the people who are sick. If God is Real, he reads my email... and the people who get the email feel better...
I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior in 1976. If Christianity turns out to be the correct Religion, I'm Saved! I was living with my first ex-wife and she was interested in me becoming a Baptist and I was interested in sex with her so... I went forward at a meeting, accepted Christ, joined the choir and then got bored with it all... we rarely attended. I did like Communion... It's a make believe Vampire, Cannibal Cult! Pretend to drink a persons BLOOD and Eat a persons BODY... OOOH! That's Creepy! But FUN!
However, I much later I did become addicted to crack cocaine and when I wanted to stop I went to a Baptist Church and gave my addiction to Jesus, and never smoked crack again. That evening I went to the Pink Floyd "concert" called "Welcome to the Machine" and that helped also because it gave me something to distract my attention while I was suffering thru the withdrawal symptoms. Another time I went to the Presbyterian Church founded by Annie Bidwell in Chico and prayed that God would find my friends a JOB... and later that week both Manuel and Victoria were employed. A miracle... Not only that but if I ever stub my toe or hit my thumb with a hammer I shout out JESUS!
When I joined Alcoholics Anonymous I was introduced to the concept of a "Higher Power" helping me with my addiction. The "Higher Power" that worked for me was The "Group of Drunks" an acronym GOD... We were supposed to seek guidance thru prayer and meditation. However I always got Nothing from Prayer or Meditation. ZERO. The Group did help and I stopped drinking alcohol. Remember, Bill Wilson invented Alcoholics Anonymous while tripping on Belladonna and Henbane. Both POWERFUL Hallucinogens. He saw the "White Light" and had a vision of God. Me TOO! Me TOO! LSD, DMT, Peyote and Magic Mushrooms all give you a vision of God. I do like AA so Bill's Trip was a great help to mankind.
If the Hindus or Buddhists are right I'm set to reincarnate as a human or better because I've lead a good life. I have NOT killed any people but have eaten a few hamburgers... I love Bacon too... Oh Well... Maybe I'll come back as a Cow... and then a Hamburger myself...
If the Mormons are right, I'm not in luck. I liked meeting the Mormon people in Utah, they were very friendly and helpful but I just can't believe that God is an Extraterrestrial... Moroni from a star in the constellation Orion... Not very likely to be true.
However, maybe the "Ancient Alien" theorists are right. There sure is a lot of really strange evidence of Alien Visitation... For Example: Why did Mexicans, Cambodians and Egyptians all build Pyramids? What is their purpose? Did they have Alien Help?
If Islam is correct I'm screwed... But then, their Religion JUST SUCKS.

The Basic Flaw with Being a Bahai is that it's a SECOND HAND Religion... Some Guy Had an Experience and He Told You about His Experience... I'm Happier with Having the Experience Myself... That's Why I'll Never be a Follower of any Religion... Like... "Moses went to the Top of the Mountain and Talked to God." Well, Been There, Done That... and about a Million other People Have Done that too... I Believe Psychedelics Just Undermined All Those Faith Based Religions... WhatEVER... Now, Whirling Dervishes... That's another Story...
I like THOR... "Valhalla I am coming..." Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song" Satirized by VIKING KITTENS! Warning... You Will Never Be Able To UNSEE This... Every Time You Hear Robert Plant Sing About The Land of Ice and Snow You Will Think of This Movie.
I like THOR... "Valhalla I am coming..." Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song" Satirized by VIKING KITTENS! Warning... You Will Never Be Able To UNSEE This... Every Time You Hear Robert Plant Sing About The Land of Ice and Snow You Will Think of This Movie.
Just Like the Song "Roundabout" by YES... I'll Always Remember the Topless Strip Tease Dance by Katee Owen. You'll Have to Google That One By Yourself... This is a Rated "G" Website...
I have a few members of my family that are Jewish and I think that on Judgement day they will let me in. I've been nice to them and that's important in a world where some people put them in gas chambers and kill them.
Of COURSE, Gaia makes a lot of sense. I can really relate to the fact that all plants and animals are brothers and sisters... I really GROK this idea when I'm in a Redwood Forest. I lived on the edge of a second growth forest for 15 years and I "owned" a specific tree in Eureka. I sat on it daily and smoked cigarettes... I sat on it more often that anyone else so it's MY TREE and I'm Its Human. I shared that tree with our cat Meadow as she liked it too. We All Read the Book "A Language Older Than Words" by Derrick Jensen for a Class at Humboldt State University. All About Communicating With Animals. DEEP ECOLOGY WISDOM.
Then there are the Goddess Religions... Thankfully, I've met a couple of Goddesses and I sure am glad. One was nicknamed "Nature Nurse". She became my Second Ex-Wife.
Another was Ja-Kay R. from Chico. We played the drums in a band in Paradise, California and performed "Miserlou" at the Farmers market in downtown Chico. A beautiful Blond Nordic Goddess.
Another was a GURU/Teacher named Sonya Sophia who lead a group healing seminar at the Utah Rainbow Gathering. I also bought admission to her weekly internet sessions where we studied "Tapping" a self-help Acupressure technique... I did that for about a year and learned as much as she could teach. "I Love and Accept Myself"
Rastafarians? Sure, I've smoked a lot of reefer... I can play reggae music... it's got ONE CHORD! Easy but I find it boring even when I'm stoned. Cannabis Psychosis is REAL. If you smoke every day you remain stoned even if you don't smoke... You stay stoned for about a month... and I saw things that were not there but I believed that they were... Difficult to take care of business when I'm THAT Stoned...
Pastafarians? - The Flying Spaghetti monster is a good joke.
The Church of the Subgenius? OK, another good joke.
I'm a registered Minister in the Universal Life Church. Why Not?
Scientology? No thanks, that "E-Meter" is BOGUS science and I know enough about electrical engineering to see that the great OZ is just a man behind a curtain... It's a GREAT religion for L. Ron Hubbard but not for any of the followers.
Timothy Leary and LSD? Ultimately it was disappointing and just an amusing ride... No more meaning than a good roller coaster...
Ram Dass? He took a lot of LSD and then went all the way to India to find a GURU... Then he learned to "BE HERE NOW" from a 6 foot 7 inch surfer from Laguna Beach. He could have saved a lot of time wasted on air travel if he had just gone surfing in California FIRST and Ignored the Indians... but he writes great books...
Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead... Fun to dance to rock music on LSD. However it all has the creepy feeling that it was just an experiment in the CIA Project MKULTRA. What IF we dosed millions of people Nationwide? Would that be useful as a Weapon of War? Make the enemy too stoned to fight?
Surfing as a religion? Yes, that makes sense. Or to put it more simply, doing what you love to do as a way of life... Playing the ukulele or throwing pottery or oil painting or computer programming or dancing or bicycle riding or snow skiing or camping or taking photographs or ... etc etc etc... Yes there is a bliss when a person is doing something they love and are totally focused... TIME itself seems to pass more rapidly... I have experience this myself while programming graphic arts... Suddenly hours have passed while I was "in the zone".
A Christian fellow was giving a lecture at Humboldt State University one time and he said that there was only ONE WAY to go to Heaven, Jesus. He said that you couldn't find God by Mountain Climbing OR Drugs... What he forgot to mention was finding God by Mountain Climbing AND Drugs. BOTH! at the same time! It's not an either/or question... I have hiked to the top of El Capitan in Yosemite on LSD and I"m really glad I did... He also said that Premarital Sex was a SIN. Like, BAD and you shouldn't do it. What an Idiot. I bet that attitude prevented him from getting laid.
Once I read a book called "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz and there was a lot of Toltec Wisdom there.
Another Book Series: "The Teachings of Don Juan" by Carlos Castaneda... Yaqui Indian Brujo Wisdom
I've played the Father Drum with Native Americans and THAT was "Big Medicine"...
"The Temple of the Screaming Electron" and Digital Immortality. Ray Kurzweil plans to upload your entire Brain to the Internet. So You Can Live forever in the cloud. I'm working on that too with my Blog by typing almost every event in my entire life and every opinion I've ever held...
So, if you don't like your God simply FIRE him and Write your own Religion!

On the other Hand... Church is a Great Place to Find a Babysitter... There are Valid Benefits to Belonging to an Organization...
Consider this FACT: Barack Obama worked as a Professional Community Organizer on the South Side of Chicago before he Became Senator... I Wondered... Who Would Pay Actual Money to Have Him Organize a Community? Frankly, I Would Not. I'd Pay a Man to Fix a Roof. I'd Pay a Man to Unclog a Drain in the Sink. But I would never Pay a Man to Organize a Community... ANYWAY... The Catholic Church Paid... That's an Example... of Doing Good For No Reason...

Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalists of 17th century philosophy, along with Descartes.
According to Spinoza, God would say: “Stop praying. I want you to go out into the world and enjoy your life. I want you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you."
“Stop going into those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and saying they are my house. My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you."
“Stop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing. Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything that others made you believe."
“Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyes—you will find me in no book!"
“Stop asking me, ‘Will you tell me how to do my job?’ Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry or bothered. I am pure love."
“Stop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you, I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies, and best of all, free will. Why would I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How could I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of god would do that?"
“Respect your peers, and don't give what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life—alertness is your guide."
“My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step on the way, not a rehearsal, not a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing here and now—and it is all you need."
“I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record.
You are absolutely free to create in your life. It’s you who creates heaven or hell."
“Live as if there is nothing beyond this life, as if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist. Then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is an afterlife, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask, ‘Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?"
“Stop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me, I want you to believe in you. I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea."
“Stop praising me. What kind of egomaniac God do you think I am? I'm bored with being praised. I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. Express your joy! That's the way to praise me."
“Stop complicating things and repeating as a parrot what you've been taught about me. Why do you need more miracles? So many explanations?"
“The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.”
and then on Facebook a Guy said:
~from our Astute Brother In Our Lord Jesus Christ- .
To say a person is a born again Christian is like saying someone is a financially compensated professional. The "financially compensated" description is redundant. A professional by definition gets paid. If he doesn't get paid he's not a professional. He's an amateur. A Christian by definition must be born again. If he isn't he's just going through the motions. Going to church. Dropping money in the plate. Listing "Christian" as his religious affiliation.
A born again Christian is the freest human being on earth. He is not bound by any of the chains governments use to hold their subjects. It is why the Christian is the arch-enemy of humanist government. Collectivism of any sort. Think of it like this. Life for a born again Christian takes on a different perspective when he knows he has won the ultimate prize. When the gold medal is hanging on his chest. The crown is on his head, the billion dollar lottery is in his account, the passport to paradise is in his wallet. My brothers and sisters in Christ have been awarded something that surpasses all of the dreams this world has to offer.
A government can't offer anything to this person. All of the laws prohibiting this or that or requiring we participate in this or that are meaningless to us. We obey because we do not want to be a burden to society. We pay our taxes because we will render to Ceaser what is his. But when Ceaser starts to demand that we subvert our Kings laws to his laws, we rebel. We refuse. We are obligated to our King to place His requirements over Ceaser's.
We are obligated to protect our wives and children and will do it as we see best. We are obligated to speak about the lies and evil perpetrated by Satan like humanism, Islam, abortion, sexual perversion, communism, globalism, mother earth worship, pantheism and corruption and we will speak our mind. We will gather together when and where we choose. We will not allow you into our house unless you are invited. We demand the right to confront our accusers. We will call evil evil and good good and not confuse the two.
It is for these reasons that our Christian founders originated the great and unique experiment in human governance known as the American constitutional republic. It is for these reasons atheistic humanist communists, Democrats, want to subvert our country. As a born again Christian I know my brothers and sisters spiritually all over this country will not go down without a fight. We are of like mind and they hate us for it. Good. I consider their scorn a badge of honor.
