Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas!!

I wish everyone a very happy holiday season! Yes, pretty much all of what I write is contrary to institutionalized religion as a whole. And while I do not in the least bit believe or think that some guy named Jesus was born during this time for all the religious reasons, I DO very much think that the overall togetherness, and love, and appreciation of the season is absolutely wonderful!

I wish everyone the best, as well as an excellent new year!!

Most Sincerely,

Ester Lighthorse

Lines of Distinction and Lines of Separation

By: God the Inductive

When you think of the terms 'distinction' and 'separation' do you consider them the same, or each their own definition? Humans spend much of their time drawing lines in the proverbial and literal sands of their daily existence, believing that lines of distinction and lines of separation are the same. This is not so.

Lines of distinction are natural, occurring wherever they may, paying no mind whatsoever to the desires of any being...intelligent or otherwise.

Lines of separation are unnatural, occurring wherever an intelligent mind chooses to place them, whether or not the actual choice or action of placing such is a good or bad idea. Consider that when I use the term 'intelligent' I mean that a being is aware of the action of creating the line of separation; a conscious being...human or some other higher intelligence.

Lines of distinction are not prejudiced.

Lines of separation are entirely prejudiced.

Sometimes humans have an errant tendency to mix the definitions of these two terms, and should be ashamed at the crap situations they have created by doing so. It is very important for humans to understand what they have done to themselves by confusing the definitions of separation and distinction. Humans have torn themselves to pieces (sometimes literally) by fudging these two terms. 

Lines of separation are terrible and largely destructive. What religion a person is a part of (or even if someone even believes in religion at all) is a big one. Some would deny this and say it is a distinction in spiritual salvation. This is a lie. How much money a person has is another line of separation. How about where a person is from, what they dress like, how much property they own, what their social status is, what their political affiliation is, what their sexual preference is, what their credit score is, what their military rank is, or what kind of job they have? These are all lines of separation because they are all divisive on some level.

Lines of distinction are not divisive because by nature they do not divide. Lines of distinction stand-out, enhance characteristics, and contribute to the individuality of someone or something or a group of the same. Courage,compassion, trustworthiness, endurance, fortitude, and diligence (as well as their opposites) are all lines of distinction.

Look at what you are doing in your life, how you treat yourself and others, and how you perceive places and circumstances. Are you confusing lines of separation and lines of distinction? Maybe you are. Maybe you are not. Maybe you are not sure. 

Just remember this:

The lines on a zebra are lines of distinction.

The lines of people in death camps, in unemployment lines, in prisons, in bread lines, in religious squabbles, and in political camps are great examples of lines of separation...because man has put them there with prejudice and the express intent to divide.

The Book of I J-Dog

Chapter 1

    1 All ya’ll homeys be gatherin’ around ‘cause I gonna’ be discussin’ all the things that we be seein’, all the things that we be holdin’, and we also goin’ to be discussin’ the words that God be sayin’ in some form of faith or other, ‘aight?
    2 The lives we all be livin’ be eternal and be meant to be lived with great enjoyment, all the good things we be wantin’ manifestin’ by the will of our hearts tellin’ the universe what we be wantin’.
    3 And when we be sittin’ around and jawin’ on about God and everything that is God, well, then by definition we all be fellowshippin’.
    4 Now you best be knowin’ that I be writin’ this here so that ya’ll can be thinkin’ and lookin’ back on these words and can be findin’ joy.
    5 Ya’ll have heard that there be those people who be peddlin’ the Gospel of Disaster, and they be sayin’ that they be believin’ that God is light and in him there be no darkness at.
    6 But they don’t be seein’ that they be right in the middle of a great darkness that be created by what they think is one God, one expression of God, one faith of God, one truth of God, and one way to God.
    7 For these muthas not be seein’ that to be surrounded by the immense and shadowless light of God be admittin’ and acknowledgin’ that there be many paths and truths in salvations and faiths.
    8 If ya’ll muthas’ out there don’t be seein’ this then youz ain’t practicin’ faith and youz ain’t speakin’ truth.
    9 Ya’ll listen and know that walkin’ in the light be meanin’ that you ain’t baggin’ on another brotha and his understandin’ of God, you dig?
    10 If muthas’ be sayin’ to theyselfs and be deceivin’ theyselfs with the stupid ass idea that the truth of all that be God not be in us,
    11 If they be sayin’, We be confessin’ our sins in this one faith and we be believin’ this one lighted truth about God, and we be believin’ this one special way and we be forgivin’ of all the shit we be doin’, we be saved and righteous,
    12 If muthas’ be talking like this then they have sinned, you dig? They not be seein’ the truth of all that is God within theyselfs.

The Nineteenth Book of The Tenement Gospel (the REAL Holy Bible)

The Tenement Gospel
(the REAL version of the original translation of the Holy Bible New Testament)

The Book of Brewdude
(the nineteenth book of The Tenement Gospel)

Chapter 1

    1 In all that be the universe, in what be all faiths, it be the truth that everything that be makin’ up what God be and that be chatted on by Mac Daddy of old through them who be the true prophets,
    2 They who be the true prophets of all faiths,
    3 It be these who be sayin’ everythin’ that be comprisin’ what God be for sho’ do be speakin’ to all them brothas who be havin’ the wisdom to open they hearts and minds,
    4 To the love that is for all and that be in all.
    5 And it be true that if one be allowin’ the full expression of what be the true mercy of all that be God to be interpretin’ the vision of they hearts,
    6 They minds will be encompassin’ all and shall be seein’ forever.
    7 An’ if that be happnin’ the heart an’ the soul of a man be becomin’ better than what it be when all he be havin’ was solely the interpretation of men.
    8 For it be that if men only be havin’ that which they be tellin’ theyselfs,
    9 And if men only be havin’ that which they have been known to be witholdin’ from one another in what be an effort to control that which they believe to exist,
    10 Then it be all the more difficult for them to be understandin’ they birth in this universe and they relationship to the understandin’ of all that be comprisin’ everythin’ that God be.
    11 An’ it be that angels be sayin’ to the men, Do you be seein’ that you be bein’ made as we of what be the same earth and wind and fire and water?
    12 An’ do you be seein’ that what be the throne of all that be God be everywhere an’ has been everywhere since before the plans were even be drawin’,
    13 Before the foundations for each day even be laid,
    14 Before the days began to stretch into what be eternity,
    15 Before eternity be beginnin’ to loop into all that be now.

Chapter 2

    1 Now ya’ll best be rememberin’ that it be important to be lisnin’ to all the messages that be fillin’ the day,
    2 And when you lay down at night and be realizin’ that you be missin’ a message or misinterpretin’ a message or skipped a message do not be afraid.
    3 For the angels have formerly been known to be sayin’, There is no transgression. Simply live yesterday for today, and tomorrow for each day.
    4 And always be rememberin’ that all be right now, ‘aight? And all that be now is and shall ever be.
    5 If ya’ll want to be escapin’ the neglect of what be yo salvations ya’lls gots to be realizin’ that salvations have always been around and they are for all, in all and through all.
    6 Know that there ain’t be one individual who be superior or inferior to another when it be comin’ to who be given salvations,
    7 But youz gots to be knowin’ that while salvations share neither superiority nor inferiority when it be comin’ to who they be for,
    8 It be the truth, foh-shizzle, that the character of one man or woman may be varyin’ in strength an’ viability when it be held up to the ingredients of another’s own character.
    9 For though it be true that salvations are for all,
    10 There are still those brothas who shall abuse their gift of freewill,
    11 Refusing’ to be makin’ decisions that be reflective of their innate understandin’ of love and the knowledge that everybody be havin’ love inside them since the beginnin’ of all things.
    12 Whether or not a brotha be wantin’ it to be, the fact be remainin’ that all things be bein’ in and of God and for and to God,
    13 And though it be the truth that men who be makin’ crappy-assed decisions are exactly as the poor be and always with all us muthas,
    14 This don’t be fudgin’ up the truth of the Tenement Gospel and all salvations bein’ for everyone,
    15 An’ it be bein’ because of this truth that ya’ll don’t be needin’ to label these muthas as fallen since it is quite true, foh-shizzle it is, that all men shall find their way to God and all that be comprisin’ of what God is.
    16 For there is not one man or woman anywhere who be saved by any kind of sufferin’ since sufferin’ in the first place is what be the clear indicator that what a brotha be doin’ or thinkin’ be contrary to what be a clear, strong, healthy and wide path.
    17 And though some o’ ya’ll be sayin’ that sufferin’ be the best and only way a slave of the Gospel of Disaster be savin’ enough kudos for heaven,
    18 These non-sensical ravins’ cain’t be changin’ the truth that there don’t need to be sufferin’.
    19 For soon as a brotha be embracin’ the Tenement Gospel he shall be bein’ free from slavery of any type the very moment he be havin’ the truth held firmly in the clutches of what be his heart.

Belief is Not Truth: Part II

Now, consider that God is not fact, but rather is only belief. And it does not matter whether the argument is for the existence of God as an actual personality or being, or as the descriptive term for everything that humans do not understand inasmuch as First Cause is concerned. The belief in God as an actual personality or being is born from the ideology that someone intelligent must be responsible for all of existence. Yet, it does not stop there, does it? Not only is this God Personality/God Being said to exist, but it is also given emotional and personality traits, given a gender, given needs and desires, assigned responsibility of specific actions, and even given the power of reasoning.

In order to sustain the belief of God as an actual personality and being a history is devised. This history has two purposes:
     1) To continue the cause of belief in God
     2) To provide substance for the claims based on the belief of the existence of God
The more dramatic this history is the longer it will be believed and the more fiercely it will be defended and fought over.

For some individuals and groups God is not necessarily a personality, but rather is the descriptive term for everything that is not understood about existence and the cause of such. Then as discoveries are made whatever was discovered is given a name, a cause, and a place. It is no longer considered to be part of God. Let us use volcanoes as an example. Early man thought that the reason volcanoes erupted was because the gods were angry with man. Now we know differently. Through the growth of geological sciences we now know that the eruption of volcanoes has absolutely zilch to do with God or any concept of such. Volcanoes, much like weather patterns, are a part of the health of this living planet we inhabit.

This can be said of every natural disaster. Such things have nothing to do with any God or divine personality wreaking havoc and punishment upon mankind. Natural disasters are not proof of God. Natural disasters are not strengthening fuel for the argument in favor of God. Natural disasters give no credibility to religion.

Such things are simply natural...and disastrous.
