...Ho hum indeed. You cling to your delusions, I'll cling to mine.
Oh, I have very few delusions, and, insofar as a godhead is concerned, I'd style myself as a Christian-leaning Agnostic... a bona fide Doubting Thomas...
With an Irish-German Roman Catholic ethnic and religious background... not particularly 'married' to any specific dogma, other than a vaguely and generically Christian ethical or moral base, adapted and evolved and secularized to some considerable extent, a
Cafeteria Christian format, streamlined for convenience and the practicalities of life.
Neither am I an
End-of-Days fruitcake who thinks that the Jewish Reconquista will trigger the Rapture, or any of that weird shit...
Just someone who stands with Israel in the recapture and consolidation of their old spiritual and ancestral homeland..
Encouraging the fools in Gaza and the West Bank to wake up and face Reality and to pack up and leave after pointlessly and needlessly playing Losers and Victims for 67 years...
Far better to pack-up and leave rather than assemble yet another laughable so-called Army of Fools,
LED by fools, doomed to die, pre-ordained to failure, pissing into the wind, as those particular fools so often do...
Soon, in Webster's, we'll see: "dumbasses - 1. see
Palestinians"
But, even as I laugh at those incredibly foolish Neanderthals, who continue to hit themselves in the head with a hammer, again and again and again and again, and even though I despise the dogma and real-world effects of their particular flavor of Religion, I do not laugh at them for sensing the Living God within themselves and in their surroundings...
One difference between us is that I do not label as 'fools' and 'morons', any
Person of Faith, who
does genuinely believe in the existence of a God, as Christians or Jews or Muslims would recognize the concept.
Good, honest, intelligent people of all walks of life and levels of education and ethnic and racial and political stripes, feel or sense the presence of the Living God within them and around them, and incorporate those intuitive feelings into their everyday lives.
Who am I - or you, for that matter - to challenge that inner spirituality or the direction it takes?
It is true, that some visions of The Godhead are better than others, in the context of Peace vs War - or helping others vs. self-sustenance - or doing Good vs. Evil...
And some of the worst impacts of those visions are certainly open to robust scrutiny or criticism...
But, as to the Inner Spirituality or Spiritual Direction which these folks sense and develop within themselves, this is the way that Mankind rolls...
And any respectable live-and-let-live mindset will demonstrate tolerance for such spirituality, rather than labeling it as idiotic or moronic or foolish or stupid.
You fell entirely comfortable insulting your fellow man who - like most folks on the face of the planet - feel and act upon that Inner Spirituality, in their own ways.
I do not.
But I
greatly enjoy calling-out smug, foolhardy, unimaginative, arrogant atheist bastards who think themselves
sssooo phukking superior to those who believe in a God.
Because they're not.
