Honestly we must ask ourselves whether we are completly content to live our entire life following the same habits of thought and action as our forefathers. Are you content to accept blindly, without verification the prevailing ideas and convictions of your society? Ask yourself, what would you believe in today if you had been born in Iran or Iraq. What religious, social convictions and conclusions would you hold dear? What beliefs would you die for?

Total number of deaths estimated to lie at the feet of Christianity is approximately 17 million (Christian Est.). This number would include ancient wars, the Crusades, the Inquisitions, various European wars during the Middle Ages, and witchcraft trials.
Praise Jesus!?!

RE: 2012
NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) said "We Predict the next solar cycle (meaning 2012) will be 30 to 50 percent stronger then the last". Looking back to Oct 2003-Sept 2005 was solar "minimum" but starting with 2 Jupiter sized sun spots in Oct. 26 exploding over and over into X-class flares climaxing Nov.4 with an X-45.... Had these hit earth I would not be writing this down. An X-19 partially hit Canada in 1989, knocking out Hydro-Quebec (even fusing some generators). 2012 is also the next peak of planetary tidal forces (the sum total of the planets' gravitational pull on the sun) also the sun's magnetic poles, which revers every 22 years at the peak of every second cycle is expected to switch in 2012. Careful measurements by several NASA spacecraft show that the sun's brightness has dropped by 0.02% at visible wavelengths and 6% at extreme UV wavelengths since the solar minimum of 1996. Measurements by the Ulysses spacecraft reveal a 20% drop in solar wind pressure since the mid-1990s—the lowest point since such measurements began in the 1960s. When science says the sun is changing you should take notice. Earth is also passing through the Dark Rift / Leviathan / Galactic Center (as a pendulum swings back toward the equilibrium position) as well as completing a processional wobble in 2012....and given the suns wobble due to the solar systems center of mass (the center of the Solar system moves and can be up to one million miles from the sun), added together with the planetary tidal forces may cause a rip in the sun releasing what is termed "imprisoned radiation". Any ones guess on what could happen, these are just the facts not the reality. Peace and Love
"Jimmy Raeder, a physicist with the University of New Hampshire, predicted a more intense solar cycle. That's because the Earth's and the sun's magnetic fields will be in sync at the cycle's peak, expected in 2012, that will cause an influx of solar particles."

Religion....An email about religion
Thank you for the reply but I am very familiar with Christianity myself. I was a born again Christian, compassionate conservative, and a staunch republican. It's all mind control. The first pillar to crumble for me was listening, listening to exactly what was said.
When I started to question religion I knew that god would want me to be fully aware, after all knowledge is power (but this is a huge step away from church doctrine...to question = no faith). I knew that someday I would have to argue with some person satan had infiltrated and wanted to test my faith so knowledge was my only weapon. But knowledge doesn't come from an almanac or encyclopedia (they are chopped up pieces
of history made into Readers Digest short story's i.e. worthless) it
comes from scholarly written texts (Einstein wrote books, they would be considered scholarly) where someone devotes 30+ years to a subject and quotes 1st and 2nd sources for you to review, that is knowledge pure and simple. But what happens when this knowledge is accessed? It answers questions! Reminds me of Eve eating the apple, which makes sense now if you wanted to keep the masses stupid. If a supreme being asked me NOT to eat something you could be damn sure I would not, which is funny because we are all being persecuted because they ate the apple. Not a very good system of rule, I think we did that in grade school..........everyone has to stay in for recess because so and so didn't do yada yada.
But I digress........Knowledge answers questions and in my mind god would want that if I had to battle evil. So I read, and what I found was answers to most all my questions. I found that everything we know is wrong from the simply stupid...The north pole is actually the south......to the biggie......religion is mind control. This journey I took I could not expect for you to understand or even follow. It took 30 years and unforeseen events to end up where I am at now. It was my time for true spiritual understanding, and though I know a thimble full of information to most inhabitants of earth it is an ocean that would drown them. I don't believe it relates to intelligence but more to personality though 80% of highly educated people don't believe in god.
Faith questioned is faith denied....how sad is that, knowledge is what sets us apart from the animal kingdom.
And be thankful you weren't born somewhere else where you would have been in the WRONG religion like.......Islam: 1.5 billion, Hinduism: 900 million, Chinese traditional religion: 394 million, Buddhism: 376 million, primal-indigenous: 300 million, African Traditional Diasporic: 100 million, Sikhism: 23 million, Juche: 19 million, Spiritism: 15 million, Judaism: 14 million, Baha'i: 7 million, Jainism: 4.2 million, Shinto: 4 million, Cao Dai: 4 million, Zoroastrianism: 2.6 million, Tenrikyo: 2 million, Neo-Paganism: 1 million, Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand, Rastafarianism: 600 thousand, Scientology: 500 thousand.
Wow thats a lot of WRONG people huh?!? You are really really really lucky you weren't born in some NON Anglo Saxon country. Wonder what the odds are on that? Whats that you say...It's one god thats behind all religions (most common answer now a days)? A god that knows all and sees all didn't foresee all the hate, war, intolerance this would bring. Wow these are glaring holes that can't be ignored by the logical person. A person who is not in the web like matrix of religious mind control would want answers.
Anyway....
Peace and Love to all my brothers and sisters of the earth.
See I can say it too, just mine comes from the heart not someone forcing me to be nice. Its genuine when it's not coerced.
Sorry, I could go on all day with the miss steps in logic religion brings to the table. And I apologize for the way I wrote it as it comes off somewhat rude but it needs to be seen the way that it is.
Peace and Love to all my brothers and sisters of the earth, truly.
