Diversity and Individuality, Still is Not Widely Accepted

Bad personal vibes have this soul flat on Christian values, because of my brief encounters and dealing with the truly faithful.

I was fired from the Salvation Army in Feb. 2013 because some of the Christian parents were worried about me abusing their children sexually or perhaps other wise. In Nov. 2012 I was hired as a part time child watch worker while the children's parents rehearsed their music on Thursday nights and performed on Sunday mornings.

The pastor who called me in his office, a real down to Earth and extremely easy get along with fellow, Major Joseph Murray said he had no problem with me, but some of the parents were worried about me being alone with their children, thus I was fired on the spot.

Actually I understood the parents concerns, I'm a middle age freak, innocuous yes, but the parents have no documentation of my harmlessness toward their children, yet thanks to certain Catholic priests, maybe Michael Jackson and Jerry Sandusky, the freaks like me get the worst labels.

When I lived with a woman and her three children in the early 2000s and was working at the YWCA, A Special Place as a certified teacher from the state of California, about 95 percent of the parents and the children were extremely receptive to me. As a single never married man having no children, I got labeled a true freak of nature, which incidentally I can't argue, because I am an abnormally developed individual, yet innocuous.

I do understand the paranoia parents with young children face, but today its gone too far. When I was a boy about 9 or 10-years-old, I rode my bicycle with various peers all over, and was often gone from sun up to sun down along with my friends. Kids are missing out on so much of their childhood these days, but I regress.

All the parents I worked with at the Salvation Army were devout Christians, church every Sunday, daily reading of the Bible, attending Bible studies and reading it to their children on a regular basis. What intrigues me, is that some of them honestly thought I might be a child molester and had me fired. Major Joe said to me, I'm going to document that you were not a good fit for the company. Obviously her couldn't document I might be a pedophile with zero percent evidence, so hence; not a good fit for the company. As I stated earlier, Major Joe said he had no problem with me and that he was going to miss me, but the parents have spoken.

What excites my imagination is that these devout Christian folk who honestly believed I might have sadistic intentions toward their children didn't try and find evidence of this, or press charges, but had me fired. What this says to me, is it's OK to molest children, but not mine. If I had a child and simply suspected that one of my children's teachers or care givers might be a pedophile, I'd mention it to all staff and the other parents, maybe find something to use as court evidence and have the person sent to prison. Ask your child if a teacher or any adult for that matter wants to connect with him or her on Facebook, email or one of the many other ways these days, if so, that's a red flag unless your already close with the parents.

It's been almost a year since I've been volunteering at the YMCA with children from infancy to adolescence, and this harmless freak is well accepted and enjoys reading to the children every Tuesday morning.

Mere Feelings of Lust, the Ultimate Demise of the Soul?

Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes; Proverbs 6:25 from the Bible; ludicrous words from a much outdated book.

Emotions and feeling, like gravity on Earth are things that cannot be stopped.. How individuals handle their emotions and feelings can be controlled, but not the actual cerebral feeling. The Bible may as well state don't ever get mad and suppress all of your emotions into a void of ancient words.

If your a man flesh and blood, thoughts of lust will embedded itself into the subconscious and burn its feelings into the very core of your existence. If it does not, your some kind of robot or your lobotomized. I do agree that lust should be contained.

A man must learn to rule his tender part Neil Peart wrote in 1993 on Rush's Counterparts CD.

If a single or married man is in a public location and randomly spots a woman that entices his physical desires, he is a sinner and needs to repent or he is a candidate for hell; Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (Hebrews 13:4)

If a man is married and simply acknowledges a woman other than his wife to be sexy, look out because hell awaits in the words of the disciple Matthew.

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart, If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell, If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you, for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. ( Matthew, 5: 28, 29 30.)

Wow, so which eye made me lust after that gorgeous woman at the gas station this morning? The Bible does not state that both eyes are involved in the lustful vision of a woman. How do I know which eye I should tear out? Regardless of my sinful thoughts as I glanced slyly upon her beauty without creeping her out, I've still purchased that ticket to hell which is a lake of fire that one's eternal soul is engulfed in flames and never ending pain according to the Bible; And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Revelation 20:14)

I've narrowed it down to three ways for a man to react to a woman who arouses his physical passions. She can be taken by force, which incidentally I believe is F-word upped to say the very least, and if a woman is rapped, her rapist should be punished to the full extent of the law, and perhaps be hung upside down in a straight jacket and the females family and close friends each given a Louisville Slugger.

Another and acceptable way for a man to react to a beautiful stranger is to simple talk to her, tell her all his lies, and if she is willing to partake in a one night stand of sin, so be it, or maybe the two fall in love and build a wonderful life together.

The third way to react to a beautiful women is to say nothing at all and wish you were better looking and had more money.

Regardless of how a man's lust is dealt with, it cannot be shut off like a faucet or light switch like the Bible commands. My point; it's OK to believe in the Christian version of religion, but if a Christian husband and wife have a gullible young son, they shouldn't make him believe that he's destined to burn in hell for eternity simply because females ignite his hormones.

The Novel "Doomed" is Dismal.

Twelve time best selling author Chuck Palahniuk's novel "Doomed," released in October, is a disastrous descent into a debacle of dismay.

The storyline is a nonexistent trip of terrible tales narrated by a ghost child named Camille Spencer. Spencer is a returning character from Palahniuk's best seller "Damned." The first few pages of "Doomed" alert the attention span and send the imagination into a journey of excitement, wonder and the will to seek answers into the possibility of an afterlife involving paradise and hell. Unfortunately "Doomed" is nothing more the a tantalizing tease that soon becomes the definition of boring.

The first few pages intrigued my interested when Palahniuk suggested religion was created by man because we'd rather have the wrong answers as opposed to no answers.

Spencer is neither mortal, nor spirit, apparently this 13-year-old girl escaped from hell from the book "Damned" which I have not read. Regardless of having read "Damned," the book "Doomed," lacked a plot and had no resolution, thus netting a half star rating.

It is suggested that Spencer's mom and dad had her killed when she was 11-years-old by a man named Goran. The parents reasoning for this was to bring their daughter back to life and proof to the world there a true religion they have invented or discovered. Palahniuk brings this subject up, then completely ignores the whole thing. Another subject brought up and never again explained is when an angel named Festus claims Spencer is God's latest mouth piece.

In Ancient times Moses, Jesus and the 12 disciples where the mouths of God on Earth, today it's the spirit form Spencer, Palahniuk suggests. He brings the topic up in "Doomed" then goes off into a tangent of uninteresting subjects that have nothing to do with anything and leaves the reader with nothing.

Babbling infants make more sense then "Doomed."

Valentines, Romance, Business as Usual

With the annual love holiday upon us today the diamond and chocolate business has flourished by psychology willing men to spend their money on wives or girl friends, thus a lot of children suffer in South Africa.

Details are hard to find because mainstream news is a joke, but I did find two noteworthy articles to back my claims, at least in my mind. About 60 or 65 percent of the worlds diamonds come from Africa. Many, not all these diamond mines are known as blood diamonds. In short a lot of blood diamonds are mined by children who are forced into the mining business with little or no pay. Big corporations love the injustices they commit over seas and far from the eyes of the American public, so they can purchase goods, in this case diamonds and get American men to pay insane amounts of money for a tiny shiny rock to solidify his love for his women.

If your forced into buying diamonds, get them from Canada. Word around the campfire has it that Canada is a legit diamond business according to the article "This Valentine's Day, Don't Contribute to Slave Labor" by Grace Malloy originally published in Feb. 2011, updated in August. (http://www.dailycampus.com/commentary/this-valentine-s-day-don-t-contribute-to-slave-labor-1.1975458#.Uv3pg1jTnIU)

The diamond business like any large money maker is based on corruption and the torture of the weak and poor in other countries. Malloy's article claims the chocolate industry is the same way, using child slavery to manufacture cheap goods for the almighty consumer.

Because I'm a sole entity, I never have to worry about feeding big business's with any of my money on Valentines day.

The following paragraph is word for word what Malloy wrote in her article "This Valentine's Day, Don't Contribute to Slave Labor: We live in a capitalist society where corporations have an enormous amount of power and can do as they please without being monitored. They profit from exploitation and, therefore, they give little to no thought concerning human rights violations for which they are directly or indirectly responsible. So, it is our responsibility, as consumers, to make sure those corporations that make use of slave labor pay for their actions. It is a power of which we have rarely taken advantage.

For those people who believe diamonds are a good investment, they may want to do some extensive research. Most people don't get half of what they paid for their diamonds if they tried to resell them the very next day after purchase them according to Ira Weissman's Aug. 2012 article "7 Reasons Why Diamonds Are a Waste of Your Money" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ira-weissman/7-reasons-why-you-shouldn_b_1720870.html)
Weissman's article details how she's been in the diamond business for more than 10 years and one of the diamond industries big companies; De Beers diamond syndicate brainwashed people into the romance of diamonds and made it seem like diamonds and romance have gone hand in hand since the ancient times. In reality it's been about 100 years that engagement diamond rings have been the norm. De Beer originally targeted people 15-years-old and older into the romance aspect of diamonds.

I'll buy no diamonds, I'll buy no gold, make a white man rich in South Africa, make a black man poor and old, the Cadillac Tramps wrote and sung in the 90s.

Drones Fly, Children Die

 The title for this article was obtained from protest signs in New York against U.S. drone strikes in the Middle East.

While real news is shrouded in bubble gum headlines, the U.S. continues bombing and killing women and children across the eastern hemisphere. U.S. drone strikes have been happening since at least the 90s. In the 90s drones where called 'smart bombs.'

From 2004 to present day more than 880 Middle Eastern innocents have been blown up and killed by U.S. drones according to Daya Gamage's article "U.S. Drone Strikes Kill Children," published last year. (http://www.asiantribune.com/node/62242) Gamage's article also states that in April, a U.S. drone strike in eastern Afghanistan killed 18 people, ten of which were children.

The U.S. officials who defend drone strikes claim that drones only target and kill insurgents. If you believe this, I own a well known bridge in San Francisco that takes in massive amounts of cash daily via tolls, and I'll sell it cheap out of the kindness of my heart. Anyone who believes a missile strikes only kills military foes is simple blinded in the might makes theory of America and other wealthy countries.

On Dec. 12 a Yemen wedding party was stuck by U.S. drones. The bride survived, but 14 civilians were killed and 22 others injured. (http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/14/opinion/yemen-drone-strikes-reprieve/index.html)

Imagine if an American wedding party was struck by a North Korean or an Afghanistan missile. (To the best of my knowledge, the U.S. is the only country in the world still bombing people.)

The Bureau for Investigative Journalism exposed the death of 94 Middle East children killed by U.S. drones between 2006-2009. The BIJ also claims that more than a 160 Middle East children have been killed by U.S. drones since 2004. If the U.S. drone program is not evil, then I'm clueless as to what evil is.

It's been reported that in October, 2006, a single U.S. drone strike killed 80 children at a religious school. "Leaked Pakistani Report Confirms High Civilian Death Toll in CIA Drone Strikes," the article written by Chris Woods in July also claims reports of civilian deaths also disappeared entirely for most of 2009, after President Obama took office and I believe it. (http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2013/07/22/exclusive-leaked-pakistani-report-confirms-high-civilian-death-toll-in-cia-drone-strikes/) Woods article brings up even more disturbing murders the U.S. government is responsible for. His article claims the CIA is responsible for the deaths of more than 1400 civilians in North and South Waziristan between 2007 and 2012.

U.S. government officials don't deny they have killed women and children, they just nonchalantly claim only 50-60 civilians have been murdered by them according to Woods article. How nice, they have only killed 50 or 60 innocent people by mistake, 'they' claim. When George Carlin said he believes nothing the government says, he was making perfect sense to me the more I research real news.

The numbers of women and children murdered by U.S. drone strikes may vary from the above information I have gathered, but the fact remains, U.S. drone strikes are real, and they have killed women and children which our government does not deny, they just deny the numbers of women and children they have viciously murdered in the Middle East with our tax dollars.
