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

 The Tenement Gospel

 (the REAL version of the original translation of the Holy Bible)

The Book of T’aight
(the seventeenth book of The Tenement Gospel)

Chapter 1

    1 I once be a slave to the Gospel of Disaster, an apostle of a supposed faith that be drawin’ lines of separation, a faith that be sayin’, Our version of God be better than ya’lls version of God.
    2 Now they be sayin’ they be speakin’ for God who cannot lie, and who be makin’ promises since before anybody be rememberin’ anything.
    3 But youz has to be rememberin’ that while God won’t be lyin’, people still be lyin’. And guess what, ya’ll? That shit also be happnin’ since before anybody be rememberin’ anything.
    4 To all those brothas’ an’ sistas’ who be T’aight with they homeys believin’ different, may the Lord be blessin’ you.
    5 And to all those twisted muthas’ out there who be thinkin’ they be all special and they be the only ones God be savin’ for anything, well may the Lord be blessin’ ya’lls asses also…even though ya’ll be thinkin’ and doin’ some pretty messed up shit.
    6 Now the reason I be writin’ youz be pretty simple if you really be thinkin’ right, you dig?
    7 I be writin’ you so ya’ll be gettin’ things straight about the Tenement Gospel and the Gospel of Disaster, for if ya’lls don’t be knowin’ what the hell you be talkin’ about, then youz probably shouldn’t be talkin’ about it!
    8 First we be talkin’ about husbands and wives and they kids, ‘aight?
    9 And before I be gettin’ to that let me be sayin’ real quick here that there ain’t no damn thing wrong with people who be wantin’ to be makin’ kids without gettin’ married, you dig?
    10 So ya’ll don’t even be goin’ there, ‘aight?
    11 Now when a man and a woman be married and be havin’ kids, they best be good to each other, you dig? And, they best be good to they kids they be makin’.
    12 A man and a woman who be married don’t need to be beatin’ on each other, and they sure as hell don’t need to be beatin’ on they kids, you dig?
    13 And a man and a woman who be married to each other don’t need to be arguin’ about who gets to say what, about who makes the most money, about who works and who takes care of the kids, about who has the final say about anythin’,
    14 Because the only thing that be matterin’ is that everything they do be done for the good of the family, you dig?
    15 And the same thing be said about women and women who be lovin’ each other, and men and men who be lovin’ each other,
    16 They shouldn’t be hittin’ on each other and bein’ mean an’ shit, ‘aight?
    17 And the same thing be applyin’ to them if they be havin’ kids that they best not be beatin’ on them,
    18 For you can rest assur’ dat God be keepin’ eyes out for any kind of parents, men and women, or men and men and women and women, who be beatin’ on they kids or each other,
    19 And when God be seein’ them God be findin’ a way to teach they beatin’ ass a lesson…probably by way of a beatin’ just to show them some damn backwoods southern justice, my brothas.
    20 And now I need to be tellin’ you about those unruly mo’ fos who be sayin’ crazy shit, and sometimes they be sayin’ crazy shit for the sake of sayin’ crazy shit which be makin’ no goddamn sense, ‘aight?
    21 And these muthas’ be havin’ mouths big enough to be puttin’ houses in, along with one a them bargain basement shops an’ shit, you dig?
    22 And these muthas’ always be spoutin’ off about how the Cretans of the world always be lyin’, always be evil, and always be lazy muthas’.
    23 But half the time the truth a dat shit be that the muthas’ sayin’ this shit be the one who are Cretans because they be all of the bad things they be warnin’ everybody about not bein’.
    24 And it be these same kind of people who be baggin’ on the Tenement Gospel and be sayin’ shit that the Tenement Gospel be a myth that be created to turn folk away from the only real truth of the Gospel of Disaster.
    25 They be sayin’ that the Tenement Gospel ain’t pure and be defiled by those who be against the Gospel of Disaster.
    26 But the truth of it all be that the minds and the consciences of these muthas’ be impure and defiled by they desire to subjugate and rule and to claim greatness over another brotha’ and they beliefs,
    27 And while these muthas’ be actin’ a fool like this they be professin’ to be knowin’ God at the same time,
    28 But it be by they pointless works that be derivin’ from a desire to be a power monger over all that they be showin’ theyselves to be abominable, disobedient, and full of shit.

Chapter 2

    1 But for you who be believin’ in the Tenement Gospel and the things that be worthy of teachin’, so should you be goin’ out and be speakin’ of these things.
    2 Those muthas who be of an aged body should not be sober minded, thinkin’ that they be close to the grave.
    3 Instead, those men an’ women who be elderly ought to be of a happy demeanor, enjoyin’ they golden years and bein’ taken care of by they kids and they family and they friends.
    4 An’ if people be in love with someone then they best be lovin’ that someone with everything they got an’ everythin’ they are.
    5 And if people be wantin’ to raise kids then they best be raisin’ them with love and affection and tenderness and mercy,
    6 For to be raisin’ your kids in such a manner be the same thang as makin’ the world a better place, you dig?
    7 An’ for all youz who be in a relationship you best be rememberin’ that the man ain’t be better than the woman and the woman ain’t be better than the man,
    8 And if you be a woman and be in a lovin’ relationship with a woman you best be keepin’ in mind that neither a ya’ll be better than the other.
    9 And if you be a man and you be in a lovin’ relationship with a man you best be keepin’ in mind that neither of ya’ll be better than the other.
    10 And when you be doin’ good works you best be doin’ them for the sake of doin’ them, for the sake of goodness, and for the sake of remindin’ your heart what it be feelin’ like to help others.
    11 And remember that when you be speakin’ about healthy speakin’ and teachin’ good things, and when you be speakin’ about the good things that you be doin,’ you best do so with a good heart and a good mind and with good intentions.
    12 For healthy speech without a good heart and without good intentions is shameful, somethin’ to be condemned, and nothin’ short of evil.
    13 And anybody who be treatin’ another person like they was a slave needs to be taken out back and beaten like a red-headed step-child.
    14 And all muthas who be holdin’ positions of authority best be keepin’ in mind that don’t mean they have the right to be treatin’ other muthas like slaves, for if they be actin’ like such a fool they don’t be deserving’ the position they be havin’.
    15 And for whoever be teachin’ the grace of God, they best be rememberin’ that the grace of God and all salvation be for all muthas, you dig?
    16 God does not nor has he ever withheld or given grace and salvations to people based on they beliefs, they religions, they special churches, or they particular interpretations of any holy book or words.
    17 For God and all interpretations of God be for everyone, the grace of God be for everyone, the blessings of God be for everyone, the hope of God be for everyone, the faith of God be for everyone, and the greatness of God be for everyone.
    18 Speak of these things, ‘aight? And if any mo’ fos’ be troublin’ you and be despisin’ ya’ll don’t pay them muthas any mind, you dig?

 The Tenement Gospel

(the REAL version of the original translation of the Holy Bible)

 

The Book of I ‘Inthians
(the seventh book of The Tenement Gospel)

Chapter 1

    1 Raul, a man who has been labeled as an apostate simply because he be choosin’ to reveal the true message of Jesus, a man who works for the true will of all that be comprising’ that which is God,
    2 Does indeed pen this book of scripture to refute the claims of the Gospel of Disaster and of those who be following’ such spiritual flotsam and jetsam that be presented in the previous scriptural books of Acting Postal and Roaming,
    3 For the very last thing in the universe that anyone be needin’ is yet another seriously twisted and fucked up version of a supposed divinely inspired message that be servin’ to divide rather than to join.
    4 May all that be divine in this great, grand, and glorious universe find its way to you, my brothas and sistas. And may you be blessed with the compassion of love and the wisdom of the most righteous and nurturing truth, as it is true that a man should be livin’ to love, and lovin’ to live.
    5 I can only be eternally grateful that by the grace of all that be God I have seen and experienced what the truth is, foh-shizzle,
    6 For although such a truth lies dormant within each man it cannot enrich him with its blessin’ unless that man be properly cultivatin’ it.
    7 Verily I say unto you that a wise and humble man don’t be misinterpretin’ his understanding of love and of God to mean that he be absolutely correct in his thinking and beliefs,
    8 For the understanding of love and all that be comprisin’ that which is God manifests itself differently within the minds and hearts and spirits of all men accordin’ to the fertility of the soil in which it be planted, and according to the manner and habits in which the individual be cultivatin’ their own heart.
    9 I ask of you all that all ya’ll be patient with those muthas who for some reason or other cannot seem to understand the purpose of faith in relation to the functionality of humanity,
    10 For such men find themselves to be better suited to be fightin’ and bickerin’ over whose version of God and faith be the correct version. I say to you that it is the intolerance of one man’s faith towards another that be the root cause of everything that be wrong with the world.
    11 If anyone wishes to know what faith to follow he should be knowin’ that a faith worth following is one that be bringin’ together and does not push apart and does not highlight every difference in an effort to be drawin’ lines of validity in the sands of faith. Ya’ll be knowin’ that be some crazy shit.
    12 Do not ever allow yourselves to be caught up in the idiocy that be displayed by those men who would look at their own faith and then point to the faith of another, saying,
    13 Our faith be more strict and be older and be wiser and be stronger and can work greater miracles and be more merciful than your own faith. Our faith be better and is therefore the indelible truth.
    14 For it be written that the wickedness of trying to pit one faith against another or the effort some muthas dedicate to persecuting those who wish to be possessin’ no faith can only result in the destruction of the wisdom that would otherwise be harvested.
    15 What be the purpose of one group of faith arguing with another group of faith over things like baptism and when it should be done, the exact time and day of the week of the Sabbath and what you can and cannot be doin’ on that day,
    16 Whether or not people who do not wish to be believin’ in God will suffer eternal torment, or whether or not someone’s version of God does or does not love and accept men who be lovin’ men and women who be lovin’ women?
    17 If such non-issues are allowed to plague establishments of faith and allowed to cover the eyes of a person’s heart with sackcloth then the purpose of having faith in the first damn place be totally lost and be kind of like the saying that refers to something along the lines of missing the forest full of trees.
    18 And then what be happenin’ to the wisdom of love that could have been uncovered and shared? It be once again covered and forgotten until the next person or group of people search for it and find it.
    19 Understand that it ain’t be possible for God to see the wisdom of the world as foolishness, for the truth of the matter be that the blackness of the hearts of men and the wicked deeds that stem from such be takin’ the wisdom of the world and be doin’ foolish things with it.
    20 And it be shameful in the face of the universe and all that be divine that those who would be harbingers of doom and those who preach one faith over another make a goddamn habit of preying on the hearts and minds of people who be weak,
    21 For it be easier to control people who be wishin’ to belong and who be wishin’ to be accepted and who be wishin’ to be loved and who be wishin’ to be taken care of and who be wishin’ to feel special and who be wishin’ to be right.
