"When assessing the relevance of any religious org or religious personality, it is always wise to follow the 'Watergate Mantra' - follow the money. Nowhere are the true intentions better illuminated than by what they do with money".  gg

Pack mentality a.k.a. fundamentalism

tradition or progress - it's all in the mind!

So you have doubtless heard about changing your life for the better, just by thinking about it, being more positive, etc. You've probably heard about the power of positive thinking or such things.

Maybe you wanted to believe it, but didn't.

So check this out. The train will change it's direction of travel just by you thinking it has!

So for all you folks that don't think traditions can be changed,

for all of you folks that give new life to old hatreds,

for all of you folks that are 'locked into one perception of God', 

it's important to realise

WYSIWYG 

what you see is what YOU want to see

if you want to see hate,intolerance, judgement, cruelty

or if you want to see (and be)

LOVE, compassion, empathy

it's all YOUR choice!

lotus blossom lovingness

It is true, there is much ugliness in this world. It is also true that there is even more lovingness in this world. Lovingness that transcends religions, nations, languages, traditions. 
Here I found a most wonderful catalogue of miracles, all strung together to help a little boy of 7 who refused to die when brutally, viciously attacked.
I am happy to say I was crying before I had finished reading/watching this story unfold.
So, I reach the conclusion that I have no right to be dismayed with any aspect of my life...and this true story shines into my darkness like a laser piercing my discontent.

I sincerely recommend that you check this out. It's just a wonderful, wonderful journey, from horror to hope to lovingness. It truly is amazing what we can achieve when we love and our hearts open like a lotus blossom,radiant with compassion and empathy.

debased deity

Once again it looks like society has to teach ethics, morality, decency and respect for others to another failing religion and tradition.

In the name of what kind of a debased deity are such things permitted in any religion or country?
