Quote Of The Day

The church is the church only when it exists for others… not dominating, but helping and serving.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Quote Of The Day

Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yeah, I Am A Religious Person

I am a religious person who was gifted a brain from my creator that I use openly, freely, and without control. I embrace freedom of spirit, mind, and will. I come in peace to understand and love others. I hope I set a good example of what that can look like to other religious people. I hope I make sense here.

Just so you know I am not a member of a cult nor am I brainwashed.

Happy Rosh Hashanah, The Jewish New Year

Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the universe, the day G‑d created Adam and Eve, and it’s celebrated as the head of the Jewish year. To all my Jewish friends have a happy and sweet new year. Have a blessed celebration.

Religion In The Workplace

I am on Team Jesus as you may know. However, I don’t believe that it’s appropriate to proselytize in the workplace. Leaving religious pamphlets known as tracts is not a good practice. My experience is that religion at work can be used as a way of singling out people and discriminating based on various criteria.

I go to work to do a job. I don’t go to be indoctrinated and yes indoctrination can go both ways. Sharing your faith should be done by example and action, loving your neighbor and coworker. Also doing a good job for your employer and being kind. I would much rather encounter Christ or any other higher power that way than through a piece of paper left on a bathroom sink. If I ever come across as preachy call me on it.

Politics and Control

If your politics is about power and control then it’s crap. Freedom and liberty for everyone right now are nothing but false promises and more crap. If it is in the name of “religion” then it’s bullshit and there’s lots of shame to go around.
