It's All About Appearances
Dec. 11th, 2013 10:09 pmIt's all about keeping up appearances. That's what life is. Living out your wildest dreams while bottling it up in the image of a perfectly quiet no one. You do the day-to-day, you sit at the desk, you go through the motions. But your mind is elsewhere. We are the only ones in the world who know who we truly are. It's kind of wonderful, isn't it? What are we hiding behind those quiet smiles and blank stares? So many brilliant stories that will never be told. People are like books that few can read and even fewer can understand.
Star-crossed or mislead?
Jul. 21st, 2013 10:58 pmThere is tons of information for teens about how to avoid abusive relationships but next to NO information on what real love and healthy relationship are and what it takes to build that. The youth of society are building relationships on false impressions they've learned through fairy-tale movies and it seems no adults or organizations are taking the stand to change that. You shouldn't have to wait until a college relationships class to learn about and understand relationships - that should be required in middle school and high school! Maybe if kids were taught from the beginning about what love REALLY is and how to build a healthy relationship, our nation's divorce rates wouldn't be so ridiculous.


Weeping Poetry of Humanity
Apr. 30th, 2013 11:01 pm We live in world where we murder to prove who's God is kindest,
- Jordyn Mart

a world where we value the trees less than the money made of their wood,
a world where we only care about children before they are born.
Some cry for angels and the angels rush to the pleas
but the angels see the corruption and off again they flee.
We live in a world where we are more angered by cruel words than great massacres,
a world where we care more about the economy of the country than the lives of the world,
a world where those who fight for peace are mocked and forgotten but those who lie for power are loved and immortalized.
Some sing for brotherhood but the tune is lost in war;
we've all been fighting for so damn long, we forgot what we're fighting for.

No Blind Faith
Apr. 28th, 2013 09:07 pm Unitarians rejected the Trinity doctrine articulated in the Nicene and Chalcedon Creeds in order to affirm the oneness of God. They also tended to support a more optimistic view of human nature than reflected in the Westminster Confession of Faith. Consistently, they appealed to scriptures as they questioned the classic tests of orthodoxy. “Later the Unitarian position was to be summarized in James Freeman Clarke’s “Affirmation of Faith”: “The fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, the leadership of Jesus, salvation by character, and the progress of mankind onward and upward forever”
That's what I'm talking about! Question things! Reject that which does not ring true in your soul. If you see b.s. then call b.s.! This is exactly what needs to continue happening now! I know people doubt the things they hear in church - if only they would stand up and question it! Come on, people! Speak out! Our ancestors did it and you can, too! I don't mean this for religion only, either. If there is something in the world that rings false in your soul then call it out!
If you believe without question, that is blind faith. To me, that is the most shameful type of faith.
If you have not questioned, that means you have not found answers and you have not considered any other beliefs.
If you have not considered any other beliefs or have no answers, how do you know your faith is true and right?
You don't.
Hey, maybe you were lucky enough to born into a region and family that preaches the perfect religion. Chances are, however, that that's just not the case.
In fact, how do any of us know that any of the religions on this planet are 100% correct?
We really don't.
The best thing, I believe, we can do is to learn about as many faiths and beliefs as we can, hold on to what rings true in our soul
and throw out all that our soul screams "false!"
I beg of you - even if you feel your religion is the right one, take the time to learn about other faiths. If anything, it will at least help you understand the millions of other people and perspectives around you and make it that much easier for you to make amazing friends in your lifetime.

God is a Lover, not a Bomber
Apr. 15th, 2013 11:04 pmToday is an exceptionally sad day for the citizens of the United States - especially for the citizens of Boston, MA.
Today, two explosions were set off at the finish line of a Boston marathon, murdering 3 and injuring more than 140 innocent people.
CNN News Story:
www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57579671/deadly-bombs-rock-boston-marathon/
In response, the Westboro Baptist Church announced their plans to picket the funerals of those innocent people who lost their lives, proclaiming the following...

Let me say this loud and clear:
No God - who created our universe and all of us so lovingly and delicately and perfectly - would ever destroy so many lives because they obtained the freedom to love and marry equally. Marriage is a creation of man - not of God. God does not care what licensing you have with a government - all God cares about is LOVE. God IS love. If you believe, for even a second, that a God who takes care of everything in existence would destroy a single life of its own creation for such shallow reason, you are no better than the individuals who set those bombs. I pray the Light finds a way to your heart and Enlightens your mind, for you are so lost and blind that you mistake the darkness surrounding you for light and the lies in your mind for truth.

A Manifesto for Truth
Apr. 14th, 2013 03:09 pm You call me lazy while I give it my all every single day to bring myself higher in a world that wants to do nothing but push me down.
You call me antisocial yet don't want to listen to all the truth I have to speak.
You call me incompetent yet I see more truth in this world every day than you'll see in your entire lifetime.
You say I don't know what's important yet you bury your head in lies to help yourself sleep at night.
You complain about the way things are but you're too cowardly to do a damn thing about it.
Well I'm doing something about it and I'm not giving up. I don't care if you think it's wrong, think it's dangerous, think it's stupid.
I see the truth you cower from and I'm stepping up to the plate to do something about it - whether you are brave enough to support me or not.

Little Sheep, Little Sheep - Wake up!
Dec. 19th, 2012 11:13 pmSo much of the media is filled with stupid distractions from what's real.
No one has any clue about half of what is going on in this world.
The media convinces you that you're living in a world of violence and terror and that you are powerless to do anything about it.
They convince you that you have to be the President or a member of Congress to make change and all YOU can do is sit and watch your tv to see what will happen.
That's all lies.
There are 535 people in Congress, 1 President, and 311,591,917 Americans.
Who do you think has the most power?
If we would all step outside of the media and work together, we could turn this country - this WORLD - into the free, loving, equal, and peaceful place it deserves to be.
But the media has turned you into SHEEP.
They take advantage of your emotions and use them to fulfill their agenda.
Think about it...
Congress wants more gun control.
Have you noticed how many stories have recently been all over the news about recent gun violence?
Suddenly, it seems as though gun violence has exploded all over the world! But it hasn't. In fact, gun violence has been decreasing since the 1970's. Bet you didn't know that! Why do I say that? Because I'm certain many of you who are posting your anti-gun rants haven't taken a minute of your time to research that. You see the heart-breaking murder of children and immediately become vengeful against those who commit crime with guns. You may do research, but you only research topics that SUPPORT your view - never once taking the time to open-mindedly look at the opposing facts.
And when that law comes to vote, you'll all be rushing to the polls to fulfill Congress' wishes - you'll be blindly checking off one more task on their agenda.
Are you seeing it yet, little sheep?
Burn the agenda, prove to the world that you are intelligent human beings - not sheep! Rise up and fight for what you KNOW is right and quit settling for what's "good enough!"
Don't believe my statement about violence?
