AN INTRODUCTION...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retired, but not too retiring, a work still in progress.
I enjoy many things: Music (making it & appreciating it), balance (within myself, in my relationships, and in my world), Tai Chi (practicing & teaching), cooking (especially for friends), Dancing, Karaoke!, teaching, mentoring, reading, some crafts...and trying daring things on my birthdays.
I've been single, married, now widowed, but not forever.
I thought I was straight; found out I'm not; am happy about it.
Believed in God, then god, then Universe; now happy not knowing and just being stardust until or unless I find out differently.
How much hate and violence can we lay at the feet of religious nationalism? ALL of it, I say.
Today is March 6th, the 65th day of the year. There have been 95 - ninety-five - 95 shootings in the US in January & February of this year.
Reporters, pundits, police, and others will not show religious nationalism as the cause. The cause Will be some form of hate, though.
whew... looking online for info for this article is depressing.... and often denied by many...
The problem I see with religious Anything, is that it stops the human brain from being able - or even willing - to think. We don't even notice that .... we made no real choice. Children follow the lead of their parents... One is 'born' into the religion on your culture, or your neighborhood.
I don't know if THIS one fits here, but it made me laugh and it's my blog... soo....
a Favorite: ...time to stop "respecting" faith just because of social courtesy.
