Religion & Spirituality - 16 October 2006

I've always wondered this. Why is it that the word "Jew" seems to be describe both a religion and a race? It may be just my interpretation of some things said and written, but is "Jew" considered a race as well?

This is a quote from Sathya Sai Baba

"Hence, Dear Students! Do not at all be afraid of these "passing clouds". Do not be concerned with them. Perform your duty well. Fulfil the aspirations of your parents. Your parents have sent you here with great expectations. If you go against their wishes, you yourself can imagine how much they will feel. If you cause pain to your parents, it amounts to causing pain to Swami. Are you not praying daily?
Twameva mathacha pitha Twameva,
Twameva bandhuscha sakha Twameva,
Twameva vidya dravinam Twameva.
(Sanskrit sloka)
You alone are the father and mother,
Friend and relation,
Wisdom and wealth.
There is no difference at all between God and parents. Hence, keep your parents happy. Swami is always happy. Establish that truth firmly in your heart. Then only can you be called true students."

Can we say Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, a Great Master of Contradictions and Congruence, the Master of Unity in Diversity ? An aspect of God ?

I just made up jibberish because i wanted test the credibility of interpreters and speaking in tongues. The interpereter made up all kinds things about what I was saying when I just just making weird noises I used to make as a kid. That is not right to pretend to be an interpreter of god. is quite discusting of churches, actually!

The war gene ?

They lead from the back ?

If there is a propensity to war by way of genetics, we do not eliminate this gene by sending soldiers to war instead of those who desire it.

We are a democracy...we elect representatives to govern, and sometimes 'they' decide to go to war...LET THEM LEAD.

We loose one leader, we can elect another, or at least the runner up.

In the last American election there was a 50% split in popular vote, so we know who will be the second leader...we don't know if he or she will want to continue the war leading from the front ?

why do we do this, why not just ignore religious questions if you're not religious and ignore non-religious (which i mean questions that insult religious people) questions if you're religious. im no hippie or anything, but why would you insult them anyways? why not keep your thought to yourself? i bet you anything that somebody may even insult me and my question, although it's no religious question, i still think someone is going to.

Cult-feminism is the term I give to the manipulation of logic and truth to lie.

For example: "Stop violence against women' is a half-truth that polarizes the real issue of abuse. The model should read, "STOP THE ABUSE OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN" Cult feminists employ the deceptive part-of-the-truth that has divided Americans.

While Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is a very well educated person, 'education' is part of the problem, as most people of the last 30 years have been 'educated' to believe these malicious half-truths.

While we must concerned with all politicians, what really is behind this Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and the war in the Middle East that has cost American people many lives.

I Afghanistan, 489 coalition deaths, in Iraq there has been been 3,004 coalition deaths, 2,770 Americans, consisting of 2,649 men and 57 women. Not to mention the over 400,000 civilans, men, women and children.

Would you only have certain people allowed in Heaven (or whatever name you give it) or would you welcome everyone? What rules would you set for the world to follow? Maybe you might right your own version of the Commandments (or Rede, or whatever name you want to give it), and if so, what would they be? Would you accept that some may not worship you? Would you be alright with that? What would be religious law?

Please, please, PLEASE do not answer with "There already is a God, so I cannot be God." This is just a question that I'm curious about.

Blessed be.
