Cain killed Abel eh . . . maybe it was the other way around my mind is in a whirl all I know evil reigns supreme it is preached on a daily basis the great need to kill the infidels Allahu Akbar been that way for centuries the great crusades come to mind sweeping across Europe God wills it the battle cry of thousands of Christians in order to free the Holy Land from the Muslims these days Allah seems intent on getting even the violence the damn violence grabs me by the throat and yes, chokes me up even fills my thoughts of hate because of the slaughter anyone thinking beheading it takes advantage of my powerlessness and weakness sends me plunging into the void which fills my heart with exasperating anger the never-ending conundrum since Cain and Able or was it the other way around the shedding of blood rules the world we live in Satan may be a Biblical untruth and the wickedness lies within the breast of us darkness has taken hold of mankind just one more chapter in the derangement of man ©January 15, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (01-17-2015 08:50 AM).] |

Your frustration, exasperation and your anger are palpable, Jerry. Understandably so. Why must man take his morals from ancient scripts? Don't we know better now? Aren't we beyond all that? The gods found in such scripts are invariably: Misogynistic, homophobic, ethnic-cleansing, vengeful, malevolent bullies. That goes for the majority. I know my views are not the norm or generally accepted, and I wish to offend no-one, but that is what I read, in black and white. As always: straight from the heart, and a pleasure to read you. |

Good morning Redstart, and thank you very much for your comments. I agree with you one hundred percent concerning the "gods." You put it perfectly. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Jerry, you got it right the world isn't getting any better and the planet is growing weak. Radical seems to be the norm in many cases with the old adage beaming through, "violence begets violence." Little packages of human existence all blaming one another. Did you spell it Able for a certain reason? Abel Wack it with that pen!! Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

"Wack it with that pen!!" . . . I "whacked" it Eric, thanks for noticing it. Thank you for you wonderful comments, and I so agree that it is small bands of misguided and angry men who seem to commit all the violence in the world. As for the world? It sits on its hands and speaks b.s. so as not to hurt anyone's friggin' feelings. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
