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 Twenty-Sixth Book of The Tenement Gospel (the REAL Holy Bible New Testament)

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

The Book of Judes

(the twenty-sixth book of The Tenement Gospel)

Chapter 1

    1 Yo, dog! This be Judes, no longer a slave to The Man, I am the brotha to all those with brothas from another mutha! Released on bond and kept home by some ankle jewelry!
    2 Whut-up! May the love and piece of a sexy lady be upon you, foh-shizzle!
    3 Fallin’ back on my fifth grade edumacation, I be writin’ you ‘bout the salvation for us all. I had tuh be writin’ you’z so I be sure you be preachin’ the most ho-leh Tenement Gospel.
    4 Now it be the truth that some half-ass pimp daddies be sneakin’ in and tryin’ tuh change the Tenement Gospel, trying to hide the richness from the po’ folk.
    5 Neh’ mind that shit, ‘cause ya’ll know I be tellin’ that gumbo straight up, ‘aight? Don’ be messin’ with no bullshit some punk be tellin’ you that Tenement Gospel ain’t true.
    6 And those pimp punks that be tryin’ to tell you what to be doin’ even though they be fuckin’ they own shit up and shittin’ where they be eatin,’ well they got another thing coming their way, baby.
    7 So don’t you be all worryin’ an shit, ‘aight?
    8 Ya’ll be leavin’ them doomsday an’ hellfire damnation crackpots alone, you get me, dog? You cain’t be tellin’ them truth if they ain’t lisnin’. You know why?
    9 Cause these mother fuckers be crazy, dog! If you be standin’ on dry land and breathin’ air these dudes be jumpin’ in the ocean and try breathin’ under water just to spite you.
    10 Shee-it. Ya’ll don’t be needin’ no jive turkeys like that, fuck no!
    11 Now these dudes be sayin’ that God nuked Sodom and Gomorrah just ‘cause they like sex and they be homos and lesbos.
    12 But this ain’t the truth, brotha! God ain’t like that, no way an’ hell no!
    13 See, the Tenement Gospel be sayin’ that love be patient, kind, forgiving, non-judgmental, an’ it be goin’ on forever.
    14 The Tenement Gospel also be sayin’ that God himself is love, see.
    15 If y’all take the time to connect the dots you be seein’ that if God be love, foh-shizzle he is, there ain’t no way he be sendin’ people to hell. Wanna know why, dog?
    16 He cain’t send them to hell ‘cause he be love, ‘aight? An’ if he be love then he also be forgiving. An’ if he be love then he also go on forever. And if he goes on forever and be forgiving at the same time,
    17 Then he forgive everybody for all the stupid shit they done do…forever. An’ it don’t matter if they ask forgiveness or not, and it doesn’t matter whether or not they be believin’ on God or not,
    18 For if love is non-judgmental, then God is also not gonna be pickin’ who he feel like forgivin’ and not forgivin’.
    19 And the same mo’ fos that be sayin’ this shit also be sayin’ that sex an’ pleasure be bad, that partyin’ be bad, that money be bad, and that position and influences be bad.
    20 But these dudes don’t be knowin’ any better ‘cause they be wrapped up in thinkin’ they better ‘cause of what they be believin’ in.
    21 And these mutha fuckas be arguin’ against whatever they don’t know, and whatever they don’t be understandin’, and whatever they be feelin’ is against them an’ opposite of what they be thinkin’ is truth.
    22 And the hearts of these assholes be corrupted by their thinkin’ that there be only one answer to everything, that there be only one truth and only one straight line to that truth.
    23 Well, I feel sorry for these mutha fuckas because they be goin’ the way of Cain when he killed his brotha and then left his homeland without makin’ things right.
    24 These beanbag for brains jack-offs be just like the muthas that plotted against Korah an’ his gang and called on the power of the God they understood to destroy Korah and his gang,
    25 Just because Korah an’ his company be belivin’ in Balaam.
    26 And these muthas try to mask their desire to subjugate those who believe differently and live differently, but they cain’t be hidin’ the dark whispers of superiority in their hearts.
    27 For they live in constant fear of a day that may or may not come ‘cording to whatever religious text they be translatin’.
    28 And these muthas say, Come, throw down with us so you be escapin’ judgment from a terribly angry God who is really a lovin’ God.
    29 Come with us an’ love like we do, talk like we do, walk like we do, think like we do, eat what we eat, see what we see, and spread our Gospel of Disaster by livin’ in fear just as we do.
    30 But these muthas don’t be seein’ that by bein’ this way they wander the eternity of their lives in gloomy darkness.
    31 And even Enoch, a descendant of Adam, prophesied about muthas like these fuckas and said,
    32 Behold, there shall be those who be sayin’ they be the only ones of the Lord, and who shall proclaim they be the only saints of God,
    33 And they shall be expert guilders of the languages of all men, master manipulators who shall cause men to forget that we are all God, and in God, and of God, and for God, and possessing of the powers of God,
    34 And these men shall be settin’ muthas against one another by complanin’, murmuring, and sayin’ ridiculous shit that only serves to make people angry with one another;
    35 But you be remainin’ strong and remember the words of the Tenement Gospel that be commandin’ you to live your life to love, and love your life to live,
    36 Bein’ mindful of the wonderful joy of many paths and the beauty of many faiths and truths. Such be the words of Enoch.
    37 Don’t be forgettin’ that those mutha fuckas who make purposeful separations between the nations of the earth and of the universe have fuckin’ ugly spirits and little black hearts that find joy in the supposed greater spiritual value and choices of some men over others.
    38 But you, homey, know this and be keepin’ it in your heart: There is common ground and joy in everything, and that, in and of itself, is absolutely holy.
    39 For when you be seein’ many different faiths, you should also be seein’ that the common ground ‘tween them all is the fact that they all be faith.
    40 And when you be hearin’ the prayin’ and chantin’ and invocations and spells and spiritual commands of many faiths, you should also be hearin’ that they all be prayer.
    41 And when you be witnessin’ love ‘tween two people whether it be two men, two women, or a man and a woman, you should also be understandin’ in your heart an’ mindful in your spirit that you are witnessin’ love, and love be one of the few absolutes in this universe.
    42 Now it be hard for some mutha fuckas to understand the grace of the Tenement Gospel, so you be havin’ some mercy on them. ‘Course, that don’t be meanin’ you have to take they shit if they decide to try to give it to you.
    43 If you can, save them mo’ fos from the bullshit they be tryin’ to peddle to the rest of the world. Save them from gettin’ burned by the fire of the crap they be creating.
    44 Just you be rememberin’, homey, they be those who you cain’t be savin’ until they hit the ground first. Some muthas just don’t be learnin’ until something’ bad be sneakin’ up on they ass.
    45 So, you be keepin’ the words of God in the Tenement Gospel very near and dear to your heart, know what I’m sayin’, for to honor that which is God is to honor yourself, and to honor yourself is to honor your fellow man.
    46 To God be all the glory forever an’ ever, foh-shizzle! Amen.

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.

God IS the Persevering Gift Giver

Buying Gifts for Recipients You Really Don’t Want to Buy For
By: God the Persevering

    Last Christmas my boss God Almighty decided to begin a new tradition at work. He decided that from then on we would all participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange. This meant that everybody’s name would go into a hat, my boss would shake it up, and then everyone would pick out a name. The name an individual picked would be the individual they were to purchase a gift for.

    In theory this is a pretty good idea. In practice it is a stupid idea. Inevitably there will always be someone at the office that you absolutely detest and you can put good money on it you will end up pulling their name. For me things are a little bit worse as I work with quite a few individuals I can’t stand to even be around. For example, Lucifer is a whiner who always gets what he wants every time he stamps his cloven little hooves and complains to his dad. Jesus the Good Shepherd of the Blessed Flock is a kiss-ass who is always running little errands for God Almighty just to gain favor. Christ the Lamb and the Lamb of the Flock don’t deserve anything from me since they are so ever-loving self-righteous.

    Anyways, the day we pulled the names out of the hat I was very irritated as I drew Lucifer’s name. Lucky me, right? I went for a drive and ended up stopping at a gas station for a snack. I went inside the gas station store and was happily surprised as, lo and behold, but there in front of the cashier’s counter stood a rack of trinkets and collectables, all inexpensive. I picked out six key chains, seventeen mini flashlights, nine low-quality bungee tie packs, eleven cheapie tire pressure testers, and forty-eight tree shaped car air fresheners…all for a measly three bucks. After returning home I began to consider other items that were cheap and that could be passed off as gifts. I now share with you this pertinent information.

    Toiletries and sundry items are amazingly cheap and easy to find. I suggest purchasing one of those fifty-cent birthday bags and stuffing it with toothbrushes, soaps, body washes, shavers, shaving cream, lotions, combs, brushes, tampons, and maxi pads. Sometimes you can even find an actual sundry set that sells all of these very same items altogether for an agreeable price.

    Household items such as door mats, bathroom rugs for the toilet, kitchen sponges, brooms, mops, plungers, closet hangers, and key chain holders are inexpensive yet functional gifts. There are even quite a few kitchen appliances that are relatively cheap. These items include one slice toasters, blenders that possess only one speed, manual can openers, utensil drawer trays, and cheapie microwaves (the kind that take six days to cook a frozen burrito).

    Personal clothing items can be found for pennies on the dollar at any ninety-nine cent establishment. Clothing items include underwear, socks, panty hose, bras, jock straps, lingerie, and garters. Check the clearance racks for such items as pants, skirts, jackets, and shirts. These items are usually dirt cheap considering that most individuals would not want to be caught dead wearing them at home, much less out in public.

    Entertainment items are many times so inexpensive you can purchase them with wampum, thereby avoiding having to use your own real money. Some of these items are disposable cameras, travel alarm clocks, universal remotes, walkie-talkies (the ones that are poorly manufactured and have a range of about twelve feet), and laser pens. Electronic pocket games are another good choice. DVDs, albeit those with titles you’ve never heard, can be bought by the armload with minimal expenditure. These DVDs usually have names like The Day of the UFO, Chased by the Devil, It Came From the Bottom of the Sea, Battle in Space, and Tasty Morsel of the Vampire.

    Self-help tapes and audio disks are another good idea, provided that you are not purchasing the ones that really do help the self. The real and well-known self-help audio products are very expensive. Titles you should look for are “Discover Your Hidden Violent Streak”, “Taking Over the World in Just Three Weeks”, “Stop Smoking, Start Drinking”, “Administering Your Own Shock Therapy”, and “How to File a Frivolous Lawsuit”.

    There are plenty of other items that do not necessarily fit into any particular category. Some of these items are matches and lighter fluid (deep down inside everyone is a pyromaniac), scented candles, computer mouse pads, miniature screwdriver sets, sticky car compasses, fuzzy dice, miniature sewing kits, scarves and mittens, flip-flops, lotion dispensers, and refrigerator magnets.

    I hope what I have had to say is very helpful to you. Now you can approach any gift-giving season with confidence and gusto.
