The distance between dogma and money
by blueviceroy ini think i see the wtbts attempting to disintangle itself from the religion that funded it's origin.. not that i actually know anything but it seems apparent to me that the society would like nothing more that to be able to cut away the "church" and pursue it's business dealings unencumbered by a monetary drain and liability like the religion that has become an albatross around thier neck.. perhaps i'm mistaken and the society will use it's money to support it's members and quit taking so much witout giving back to the people who give .

Why all the animosity?
by blueviceroy ini have seen several really angry people posting lately and i'm wondrering if maybe i missed something.
i don't read the newspaper , i don't watch the news on tv , and i don't gossip about world events with anyone , so maybe i'm out of touch and missed something.. i spend all my interactions with people in real life doing my very best to improve there experience in this life , i see a need i do my best to meet it, i'm not a bleeding heart or even a communist or a socialist , .
but i see so much negativity brought about by peoples own views , they could be happy if they just would shut up and look at the world and what a gift this life is instead of bitching endlessly about how f**cked up everyone else is.. spreading ill will like it has no effect , it's pollution , it adds to the very thing they bitch about, (sigh) ,,,, i just wish more people would grow up.

The Bibles source, have you bothered to look for yourself?
by blueviceroy inthe bible came to be as the result of scholars desire to compile a complete understanding of humankind at the time ( or so i have gathered in my search ).
it's foundations lie in judaism , has anyone bothered looking at the actuall root documents and attempted to gain some insite there?.
i have been searching for the roots of modern religion , it's always been a hobby but i'm begining to get a little more serious as i uncover more and more.. we have a rich and varied pool of documents that are left out of the bible and should be perused with the same intent as the bible is studied , finding some truth .. accepting what our culture has assimilated for us as is , well , thats not in anyones best interests , not if you value truth and genuine understanding.

The concept of entitlement
by blueviceroy inwhy do so many people hold out the hand and say "put what i need here,but i don't know what i need so can you do that to?".
this pervasive miasma of gimme gimme is inexplicable to me .
people willing to consume any dross that falls at the feet as if it were the sweetest mana merely because they lack the drive to question .

I have thought another thought and this is what it thought
by blueviceroy inmy thought was why do so many religions focus only on "god is good " that i think is a givin .
what seems to be lacking is a coherent description of what is truly required to "find" god in the first place;.
christianity seems to just roll on like a frieght train oblivious to the fact that most people arent aware enough about themselves to get the message that is written in a way you can't "get" until you already are aware of your own truth about what we are.

Is the story of Jesus copied from another religion?
by blueviceroy ini have been doing a lot of religious research and one of my favorite storys seems to be a retelling of an older story.
it seeme that the story of jesus is predated by the story of horus the egyptian sun diety, the similarities between the two are remarkable and i found it casts a shadow on some of the more beloved belirfs of this country.
i find it a little disturbing that so many people i know put so much faith in religion.
