Lately we've been deluged with bible bangers, discussing the attributes of...Their Redeemer and...Their Deity! Some folks may take offense but you know what? Tough!!! I am not against the various ways that people want and do believe and practice (if that is, they practice what they believe in). I have a firm belief but not a religion nor in a religion. Who really doesn't know that from personal knowledge, there is a something, unseen but has left many undeniable clues that it's presence was known? Think about it! Can you imagine for the moment...someone from out of the '60's sitting in a toga or long robe with that earthlink doodad buzzing around his or her head; at the front of a finely gilted mahogany desk and asking all of the dead present..."did you believe in a Supreme Being? Did you manifest your body and soul in that particular building on a particular day and did you ante your tithe as ordered by your particular religion, by this or that personal representative who was duly ordained and is your main man of that church? (Snort) Give me a break buddy! Since when does a body have to be in a particular place; location and on a specific day or evening to tell God or whatever you have for a name, to be counted as one of the lucky ones at the end of your life? What a man made farce! So you rub elbows on a given day/night then come the workday next, you semiphor either the driver that cut you off or perhaps you are two faced enough to answer the door with a smile stolen from "Howdy Doody" and tell that other person how glad you are to see them...good practicing! Since the faithful are of one belief...that they recognize a Supreme Being then why in SamHill does your religion change names like a Bud commercial? Same belief....RIGHT? Pot shots at other religions makes you or your named religion allows swelled heads and egos in that little "god-dome" right? A little attention reserved for that superbeing is all that's lacking in my book. Churches, particular days of the week (and the where if not in a building) suggest to me pure and simple convenience that has nothing to do with a small thank you that has been well deserved and deserving. All I see is rites, hear terrible singing/music(?) Ever see a bunch of ducks or turkeys just any group of critters from the animal kingdom? One thing in common...a pecking order...and this alludes to the human animal as well. "Don't do as I do, do as I tell you." This duality of me does not believe in establishments of any nature to say a simple "Thank You." What I believe in is common. We are not athiestic ( you do know that they believe that they don't believe?)Nor are we panthiestic! We will not get into a battle of wits when our opposite is unarmed!

  Do you play your Pick 3 game as mentioned above? I bet that you do! Think for yourself after you've seen what's to be had. Do you want to pay to play anddddd maybeeeee win (most likely not) or would you rather think for yourself, gain personal self-esteem and have a very good chance of winning?
