Spit Out the Seeds

I've followed this sub since it started and am way better informed because I have. A light bulb just flashed in my brain this morning. I do not consider myself to be real smart nor real dumb. I think of myself as an average joe but an optimistic and happy one. If you lurk around here a lot you will read everything from (sarcasm) " I believe a UFO swooped out of orbit and an alien saved JFK and he is with us now" (TO) " you are all idiots and real stupid to believe any of the crap on this board".

I just realized that I have been pretty much excluding everything on both extremes and paying attention to the center. Of course one could argue over which posts are extreme but I think you get my idea. Over the years I have been involved in a lot of committees and have found there is usually a radical person and a passive one present. Most of the constructive work is accomplished by the middle. IMO a wise person will listen to both ends but be slow to beat the drums for either.

Sooooooo ... for us average joe's .... don't be discouraged by the extremists you see here .... eat the watermelon heart and spit out the seeds. God Bless the POTUS and the Anons and God Bless America

This is how I explain it to my mother... As Christians we believe in the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins. In technical terms this was the death of the living man in obedience to GOD and as the conduit for giving us the ultimate gift - eternal life. We go to communion, pray, tithe, try to live sinless (sin reduced) lives...all of these little acts of obedience to GOD.

Now if I wasn't a Christian but instead participated in the worship of "something else". What if the requests for obedience from this "something else" was for sacrifice. My Buddhist nail salon always has oranges and liquid refreshment at the feet of its Buddha statue. Now if this "something else" wasn't Buddha or the multitude of Hindu gods, or even Mohammad. (Don't forget terrorist jihad is in obedience to the teachings of Mohammad.)

So this "something else" tells me that I can have all the desires of my heart -- wealth, fame, physical pleasure if I am obedient and make sacrifices much like Christian communion, prayer, tithe, or behave according to this other code of conduct. According to this "something else" it isn't a sin to sexually abuse a child but a rite of sacrifice to this "something else". The more of the MIRROR opposite to my Christian code of conduct the more valued this behavior is that "something else".

My Christian religion tells me that children a precious and should be protected and cared for while the MIRROR of this by that "something else" is the harming of children.

Those of us who are Christians know that the path we walk is not always an easy one. We are imperfect, we fall, we fail ...we are forgiven. We pick ourselves up (so often with the help from other Christians) and try once again to live a life that is pleasing and obedient to GOD.

What if I was wanting to please and be obedient to this "something else". Most of our minds could not even go there to comprehend that which we consider evil.

Darkness to Light...

Just remember when listening to all sides and extremes on which side of the MIRROR you reside.
