~Juvenal
Let me save us all grief by telling you that, while not Aggressively Anti-Christian, I Will NOT come to your churches and worship with you. I will however RESPECT your faith. I have my reasons for NOT believing in the Judeo-Christian reality-tunnel. I love you all anyway. I have fought for what I thought was America only to discover I was fighting for Amerik3a. Amerik3a is a colonial abstraction and a lie created by a Declaration of Independence & a Constitution written by men I was told had our best interests in mind. America would have potentially been a better country to live in than other places I have known if it had been founded under other terms and conditions. Alas! We have this mess of heavy nationalist karma, permeated with genocide and slavery. I begin to wonder if there will every be true freedom in my lifetime or the lifetime of my daughter. I think of myself as one who practices AT being Buddhist. My word view is oriented by Buddhist & anarchist ideologies. My heart is a flaming, sacred, Bodhisattva’s heart with a tear-filled eye of wisdom in the center. |

Sponges and tongues are frequently misspelled. Is it because both are thirsty?
“Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world, is either a madman or an economist.” ~Kenneth Boulding, Economics professor
