Hello. I wrote an article on Zomba. I would like to share it with everyone here too. There I am known as Lee1973. Here I am known as Zenitha.

How many have heard of Hermaphrodites? If not you might ask, “What is a Hermaphrodite”?

A Hermaphrodite/Intersexual is someone that is born with both genders. Well that isn’t exactly true.  Intersexuals is the appropriate name for an hermaphrodite seeing how no hermaphrodite born to our knowledge has working have both working genitalia like the worm does.  An Intersexual can be born with one of two workig genitalia with the other dormant.  Also as would happen they can also have all of one physically showing genitalia without the other and still be an hermaphrodite/intersexual because of gentic coding be of the opposite gender than what their physical appearance shows.  So it could look like a woman but have male XX chromosomes instead of the female XY and same goes for the male.  He could have all male genitalia but be coded with a females chromosomes instead.

This actually puts them in a neutral catagory defying the ideas of males and females being the only true nature and order of things that God/Goddess intended if you are a believer in God/Goddess or whatever.  Which only opens up a can of worms for the gays and lesbians.

Cool suff huh.

Although believed to be quite few in numbers, hermaphrodites/intersexuals aren’t as rare as most would like to believe. I was told by a fellow nurse, who use to work along side of me long time ago, that she said she had known many hemaphrodites in her work. I even know of one or was told of one on my father’s side of the family. I thought it was cool.

These people are not gay, bisexual, or lesbian. They literally born with both genders (male and female). I like to think of them as neutral in gender. This should make us rethink what we call the natural order of things. I have heard this term used often when discussing same sex rights. Nature makes men, women, and hermaphrodites. I have even seen animals in same sex relationships. Humans are just animals no matter how you look at it.

Because hermaphrodites are different, they end up being forced to choose a gender, or their parents feel so awkward about the child not having a specific gender that at the time of birth, they will choose for the child. Could you imagine the child growing up wandering why he or she was having feelings about a guy even though he was a guy or a girl even though she was a girl. I am not saying this is were same sex couples come from, but for that small tiny few that had their genders chosen for them, I could imagine this happening. Or maybe the hemaphrodite might have feelings for both sexes.

These people are not monsters. They are different, and forcing them to choose one gender or the other is wrong. I haven’t seen one document or form that offered hermaphrodite as one of the genders. I really think even though they are so few that it should go on forms, documentations, and or IDs.  There is more than two categories. Hermaphrodites should be given an equal voice in the world. We need to let the world know of their existance by placing them on forms, documentations, and or IDs. No placement in our forms, documentations, and or IDs do they get any recognition of existance, but they do exist.  yet everyone would rather pretend that they don’t and that they can’t and don’t happen in Humans.  The biggest problem is that they do happen.  They are born. 

I find the lack of knowledge of hermaphrodites to sinful and wrong.  Why must humans hide everything in existance that scares them?  Why must they lock the things away that terrify them?  Why do they destroy things that they do not understand?  Why do they push things that they fear and can’t explain under the rug or throw it out like yesterdays trash? The God/Goddess/whatever made them just like it made all humans, all creatures, and all things great and small, just the way it wanted that person to be made and fooling around with its anatomy is as wrong and/or denying its existance is just as wrong. Forcing them to change their anatomy is just as wrong as everyone makes it out for a person who already has a single gender.  If it is wrong to change a single gendered persons gender, then why isn’t it wrong to force these people to choose.  They were born this way.  I actually understand if you want to change genders or if someone chose one gender over another, but to be forced to choose whether you are female or male or to be forced to stay one gender or the other whether or not they want to be such–these things are most assuredly wrong, because it goes against their nature of what they need.  People whose genders were chosen for them at birth may not have wanted that as their gender, but they will never have that chance to say so.  People get upset when a person changes from a female to a male or a male to a female. Why isn’t anyone getting mad about people forcing these people to choose a gender discarding the extra gender it was given? It shouldn’t matter if one gender is more promenant than the other or not. I think we as humans are jealous (scared even) that they have no true gender, because they could go either way and we can’t. To bad people can’t accept that hermaphrodite are as natural as males and females.

Why doesn’t the scriptures of old mention them? It is because people were just as fearful of their existance as they are now.

Some people may not share in my opinion on this because these people can discard one gender or the other, but I find it a little ironic, if you think about it Proposition 8 and laws like it have made it illegal for hermophidites to marry because they are both male and female. Because of Proposition 8 and laws like it, legally they, technically, can’t or shouldn’t be able to marry a man because they are male even though others would argue that all they have to do is discard one or the other gender to be legal. (Why should they have to do that?. To make people who are homophobic happy?) Because of Proposition 8 and laws like it, they, technically, can’t or shouldn’t be able to legally marry a woman because they are female. Techically it could be counted as a same sex marriage. However, they aren’t gay or lesbian either. All Proposition 8 did was force one of God/Goddess/Whatever’s creation to go against its design.

Humans are such evil creatures. We use logic to reason why we should be allowed to hate or be afraid of things. We allow our so called logic to intrude where it shouldn’t. I don’t believe in marriage really, because when Christ was on earth he was asked who would be married to a woman if she had had several prior husbands. His response was that no one, because there would be no marriage in heaven that we would be as angels. I sincerely believe that hermaphrodites are as close to angels as we will get here on earth. Maybe gays and lesbians are too. I also do not oppose marriage seeing how men and women have been getting married since the dawn of time. At least that is what the sacred written texts of countless religions say and teach. Whether it did or not you still need two different genders to create life, however a true hermaphrodite would only need another true hermaphrodite.  An example of a true hermaphrodite is the worm.

Most hermaphrodite as we are told they are not true hermaphrodites, because one of the two gender based organs are usually nonoperatable. This doesn’t mean they aren’t an hermaphrodites, and should be forced to get rid of the unneeded part. The fact that they are what they are goes to show an important point. The point is that it isn’t just male and female in the human world. It is male, female, and hermaphrodite in the human world and we don’t give the hermaphrodite enough credit as they should get.

I find it a shame that they are barely even known about. To bad we let so many things scare us, that we can’t let that which is different than us alone. Sure they could rid themselves of one appendage or the other in order to fit the hetrosexuals idea of normal, but that won’t make them any less male or female than the cosmetic surgery that changes a man to a woman or a woman to a man. Looks like those who are afraid of same sex marriage might have even further fears than anyone ever realised.

As a Reverand ordained through the Universal Life Church, I don’t teach just one doctrin. I teach many (Christianity, Tao, Hindu, Buddhism, Wicca, etc). I believe that the texts we use were written by the hands of humans and that humans are falible. However, the true text of the Divine is written in our hearts, and we choose to ingnore it sometimes as all children do.

The Christian religion has great teachings, but I don’t think it as important what relgion you areas it is that you live by the teachings you know and understand the best you can.  Mostly living with love, peace, and the willingness to help others instead of just yourself.  I might be wrong.  I won’t pass judgement on anyone for the difference in their ideas, and I ask that they don’t judge me.  We are all doing our best.  Christ asked us to treat others as we would want to be treated.  He told us not to judge others or we would be judged.  Whether or not you are Christian or not these are great lessons.  This man was a beautiful person and obviously sent here to earth to teach us some great lessons due to the fact he had a heart of gold.  He sat with sinners, prostetitutes, beggers, and spoke with them on religious views.  He had compassion upon his fellow man. 

If you look at the bible The old testiment is taken from Judaism’s  Tanach, proving to myself if no one else that they should be able to co-exist despite the fact that Most who read the Tanach do not believe in Christ being the messiah.  That is their right to do so.  It may make you angry, but it is their bleief, their ideals. 

You wouldn’t want someone telling you how to think that your religious views are wrong with no proof other than some written texts by a whole bunch of people that are only human who say that they were instructed by God.  Joseph Smith claimed to be instructed by God and Christ to write the book of Mormon.  How many people took him seriously and how many people ran him off and tried to kill him for his heresy against the Christian Church?  Not only that but after a DNA test was done on the Indians to see which race they were more closely related to, it turned out that they came off of the Chinese instead of the Indians that he gave them credit for being from.

Religious books are great sources of information for the beliefs and religious ideals that we have, but I hate to admit that they are far from proof of anything.  If it doesn’t hurt you, then why let it scare you?  I can tell you, because people hate to be wrong, and if the other guy is right that means you might be wrong if you didn’t believe exactly the same, but what if both ideals hold a tiny portion of the truth, then neither are truly wrong but helping bring us closer to the truth.

Christ pointed out some great points about the teachings of Moses and his own.  When asked why Moses allowed a letter of divorce to be given he told them it was because man’s heart was hard.  I think this is partially true, but Christ also said it wasn’t the ultimate design, because both man and woman are suppose to be together.  He also spoke of eunuchs.  It is obvious if Intersexed/Hermaphrodites people have both sexes despite the fact that one of the two is non-functional that the would be considered one of two things, eunuchs or demons.  Seeing how they were neither and aren’t really mentioned in the bible, I have to imagine that they were left out of the Tanach and the bible because people found them to be too different to recognise as human.  I feel sorry for those who are born Intersex/Hermaphrodites.  It isn’t their fault.  The Divine made them what they are, so why are they being punished?  Because we are human maybe and afraid of what we can’t explain?

I find nothing wrong with learning about other people’s religions or ideals.  They may seem crazy because we didn’t grow up listening or believing the exact same thing, but all religions I believe are good.

I’m certain you all read this recently:

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/Semenya-withdraws-from-race-amidst-reports-she-s?urn=oly,188930.

It makes my post about hermaphrodites look like baby gibberish.  My girlfriend, Michael is a little distraught.  She knew I was serious about hermaphrodites, but didn’t realize how serious.  

I think precious, is seriously, seriously scared I might become news with my fight for hermaphrodites..  I don’t want to become headlines.  I really don’t with my epilepsy.  For one thing crowds scare the heck out of me. 

I just want justice for people like myself & for all people.   I would like to see hermaphrodites treated more equally to males and females and given the same recognition of existence as males and females on documents, form, and IDs. 

I think that hermaphrodites deserve a gender category all there own.  I also do not think people become gay or lesbians by choice, but because of a hormonal imbalance that should probably categories them close to the hermaphrodites.  Why categories them as gay and lesis?  Why not categories them as midway–a branch between?  The people that was lost to hormones and pheromones.  OK, so gays & lesi’s are not hermaphrodite, but they aren’t straight either.  They are closer to hermaphrodites than hetorsexuals, so why not swim to the fish that will save you than the fish that will eat you.  Gays and Lesbians are people whose hormones and pheromones dictate what gender preference that they choose, instead of what actual gender they are.  Seeing how those pheromones and hormones are opposite of the norm, it would stand to understanding and reason that they are part of the hermaphrodites despite what nature gave them.  This doesn’t mean that they are hermaphrodite or heteralsexual.  It does not mean that they can’t benefit society or from society.  Both want kids.  Both can give kids.  Both should be allowed to have kids. There are wierdos and chomos even amongst the heterosexuals. Not all gays and lesbians are as weird as the heterosexuals would imagine them or have others imaigne them to be.  They are not all as bad as is portrayed in the use in the use of degrading and slanderous anti gay protests that the bigots place out for people to see. If I was only to see derogatory accusations about Christians or heterosexuals, I would think that the heterosexual or Christians were evil, but we don’t. they aren’t evil, and no one has a problem with them because they aren’t the ones getting slammed with all the derogatory comments, accusations, and publicit–despite the fact there are gays and lesbians that have a good moral and ethical values in their homes. It may feel weird that they prefer to be with the same sex, but that is who they are. Through surrogate mothering and through that special donation delivered at the special bank for guys that we can now provide mothers and fathers without ever having the norm present.  I know this scares the heck out of the straight male and female, but this is the stinking 20th century when we were promised cars would fly.  Instead our imaginations are the only thing flying.

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2843/can-hermaphrodites-get-themselves-pregnant.  The answer to this question was “no”.  To my knowledge, an hermaphrodite human cannot get himself or herself pregnant.

Quite a few of us want to point out what the bible states about gays, lesis and such.  Very few people seem to care about what the pagan says about them.  I don’t seem surprised.  No one seems to care about what the pagan cares about at all, but just as the pagan feels outnumbered, the Christian seems to be outnumbered.  I feel so sorry for them, but I feel worse for the gays, because the Muslims are the ones that outnumber the Christians, and as it may be I don’t think that they approve of gays and lesis.  I feel so bad for both our sides.  We are so both messed over.  I propose we call a truce, but I doubt the Christians will.  If you don’t believe me watch this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU

As it is, homos and hermaphrodites have proven to be just as good as any heterosexuals as a parent but they will never give us the recognition that we deserve, so I so feel for you, but I think the Muslims are going to kick both our feathers in the end.  Have a great day or evening, ”que será, será, será”. Tener un gran día o la noche.

1 of 11 What is Malware?

by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner’s informed consent. Early forms of malware were used to wreck and destroy software, programs, and computer much like a vandal. In fact that is pretty much what it is “cyber vandalism”. These days Malware can still be used for such purposes and sometimes is. One of the most common use is spamming these days: the act of pushing ad after ad at you even though you closed the window six times in the last five seconds (could be looked at as like the tags that vandals leave behind).

4 of 21 Pagan/Wiccan fashion: Should we all wear black

by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

Many movies and tv shows portray the Witch/Wiccan too always be wearing black and Gothic attire. This is a common misrepresentation of the Witch/Wiccan that is portrayed to give that scary or mysterious feel that only helps in the building of mistrust between the Witch/Wiccan and other societies. Witches/Wiccans are not evil or good. They are just a group of people like any other…………

1 of Are online prank videos funny or harmful? by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

Internet Pranks can be funny. Some can be a bit distasteful. You also have to know who you are pranking. Some people are absolutely incapable of taking a joke. If a person has some sort of mental condition or even a physical condition like a faulty ticker, they might could do without the joke at all. After all, not everyone can distinguish reality from fiction, and some jokes can be down-right frightful………..

2 of 2 Is returning to an ex repeatedly Karma or weakness?
by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

Is returning to an ex-partner, ex-lover, ex-spouse repeatedly Karma or weakness? This is a question asked sometimes. This is actually a very complex question and is not easily answered. A professional counselor or psychologist may best to answer it or you can even use one of those psychic hotline people. Whether or not they are certified isn’t the only or rather the real question………..

5 of 28 How to be a good parent

by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

How to be a good parent? Is that the question now? I’ll let you in on something, whether you are a single parent or married parent, it isn’t easy to know if your style of parenting is the right one. The most important thing is listening to that child and believing them no matter how many times you are told that he/she has done something wrong uless there is considerable proof otherwise……………….

2 of 39 Poetry: Pride

by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

My pride got into the way of my words.

I stormed off and left you by the door.

I saw the tears in your eyes.

I knew the hurt in your heart.

My pride got in the way of my words.

I refused to say the words that would ease the pain.

I refused to acknowledge that I may be at fault too.

I refused to say I was sorry.

It is too late to say those things.

My pride got in the way, and now you are gone.

I could not allow the words to escape in fear that I would have to admit defeat.

I knew those words would mean a loss on my side.

I’m sorry, that my pride got in the way.

I am sorry that I allowed my pride to get in the way of saying those two words.

I’m Sorry.

14 of 46 Does attending church matter?

by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

It isn’t where you are that matters when worshipping God. So, I do not believe that attending the church of the masses or the church built of material items is not as important as caring for the temple that God provided you the very day you were born.

In Matthews of the bible it tells a tale of Christ in the temple and turning over the market centers and yelling at them for defiling it……..

11 of 22 Should criminals convicted of non-violent crimes face jail terms?

by Hokua oe Lopqi Lokki

Putting people in jail for every little crime committed is not the way to go. We need to find a new and better way. We have overcrowding jails these days, and these people just don’t seem to be learning by being put behind bars all the time. I knew someone personally who would help people rob liquor stores knowing that he would get caught because it was what he had in plan.

The reason that he would do this is because he felt he was safer in jail than out on the street. I have also had friends that say they love jail for the free room and board. Why would they want to be anywhere else. They ask. Some of these people are even better scam artists than the ones that are free walking about taking advantage of innocent people. But wait, these guys and gals are still taking advantage of us, because they are getting just what they want. These people admitted to wanting that free meal, that free room, the freedom of hassling bill collectors, they don’t want to be free because we the people of the United States are providing for their every need and safety. Not everyone who gets caught committing a crime is a scam artist. Some are just psychologically ill and have no other means of supporting themselves, whether it be because of a drug addiction or a mental illness from birth. These people need help. Unless the person is a rapist or a murderer, in this day and age were we have the ability to use leg band monitors and/or and embedded locater chips that can be placed under the skin in areas that would prove deadly if they were to try and remove it themselves, it incomprehensible why w still have these people in jails. Unless these people have committed violent crimes, keeping tabs on criminals should be easier with todays technology. It could even prove to create more jobs in a society that needs more jobs……

A friend of mine recently had bi-pass surgery. Little did I know that they were going in for not one but four bi-passes. I didn’t even know what day they were going in. However, the day of the surgery, I had a nightmare that they were standing outside of the en-fenced yard yelling to be let in. Also I was having horrible nightmares that that same person was being chased by demons, and I was trying desperately to help them in the dream. I can tell you that I didn’t feel well rested at all the next morning and was concerned for this person. I called them. I was told that they had just come out of surgery by the person’s spouse. For a week, I worried and fretted over their well being, knowing deep down that that which created all things would take care of the situation and that my friend would be fine. We must have faith in time of trouble. We must have faith in the face of adversity. It is negativity that kills us, not the positive.

To give you some clues what types of negatives kill us:
stress causes heart attack, strokes, and anxiety attacks, diabetes,
teeth grinding, digestive problems, headaches….

* can be caused by the lack of money,
* can be caused by lack of skills to get a job to get money,
* adversity in whatever form it takes causes stress

You can defeat stress twelve easy steps to get rid of stress.

Depression kills in more ways than one, it drives people to suicide, it can cause you to loose your sex drive, it can cause you to slack off at your job and look lazy, it can make you withdraw from the rest of the world and much much more.

* can be caused by lack of faith in yourself or others,
* can be caused by in what you believe in or rather thought you believed in,
* can be caused by feeling under being appreciated,
* can be caused by feeling alone whether we are or aren’t,
* can be caused by feeling overworked,
* many things cause depression

Bigotry and predgiduce kills. These are only a form of hate and fear.
Iraqi cleric wants gays killed in “most severe way”
Bigotry Against Muslims in Pittsburgh
Hatred and bigotry kills society
Children of gay couples speak out.

Many things contribute to anger, stress, and depression. It is easy to point fingers at were the source lies. The real source is lays withing ones–own self. You have to be willing to pull yourself up out of the dirt, the mud, the cesspool, and clean yourself up. You must have faith in yourself, in others even when they don’t have faith in themselves. You must be willing to allow others to reach out to you and help you up when you aren’t strong enough to do it yourself. Not everyone can pull themselves over that ledge and back to safety by themselves. Not everyone is strong enough to do that. It is up to the strong to help the weak or they might just wither away and die.

I’m even guilty of loosing faith, but I pulled myself up by the root of the hair with the help of the almighty. I was lucky, because I was strong enough. I pulled myself up over that ledge. I had a deep heart to heart with myself. I told myself that the world doesn’t revolve around me, and maybe it won’t make a bit of difference other than a few tears if I am gone, however, imagine the smiles that I can make by sticking around.

A year ago, my kids were taken from me in court, because I have Aspersers, ADHD, and suffer pitmal/pitman seizures. They didn’t prove that I was an endangerment like the law demands, so legally they shouldn’t have been able to take the kids from me. However it did happen. My children are in the hands of the very man who beat me for six years and even tried to kill me just days before Christmas.

I was angry with the Divine for allowing this to happen. I swore wraths of profanity against that which created us, and I was wrong for doing so. Every step we take is a test of our servitude. Every adversity is not set out to destroy us but is to show that which made us how strong we are and if we have learned enough to allow us into his/her/its kingdom. Ask yourself this, would I want someone in my house that will destroy it, who won’t defend it to the death/ I wouldn’t. If you believe the bible–and even if you don’t, in the bibe itself it speaks and inThe Forgotten Books of Eden  God’s  first ever created angel and his favorite of angels (Lucifer/Devil) having defied God when asked to worship his creation man, who was supposedly made in the image of God. However, Lucifer said that he would not bow down to an inferior being that man should bow before him because he was made first and was man’s superior. God grew angry at Lucifer and at all who sided with Lucifer. He/she/it cast Lucifer and his/her/its followers out of heaven. However, God didn’t destroy Lucifer. Christ later speaks of how all will be forgiven that follow God. Is it possible that God is hoping for Lucifer to change his/her/its mind?

I read Revelations. Everyone has his or her rendentation of what the bible says and what it really means. I’ve even heard people say that it speaks very clearly of the things that will happen. I dispute this. If it were clear, then it wouldn’t have twenty million different dipictations of what it is trying to reveal to us. I’m sorry to say, for me the bible is just one heck of a historical teaching method placed forth and written by the hands of man trying to teach one group of people’s belief in God. What I find funny is the fact that Christians say that it is from the Hebrews and Jews, yet they won’t recognize the Jewish writings in their teachings. If the teachings that the Christians are from the Hebrew and Jewish text, then the Christian should be eager to be involved in the Jewish and Hebrew thoughts as well. They don’t have to believe every last notation, but it would be a good idea to learn a little about the books that are or are not found in the bible.

It isn’t important what your faith is. It is only important that you believe that something greater than you is out there, something good, loving, strong, and devoted to wanting to love and save all of his/her/ its children.

The Buddhist Idea of heaven and hell is much different than that of the Christian faith, yet they still believe that there is such a place in one form or another if you must get technical. According to Buddhism, one cannot live in heaven eternally, nor will one stay in hell indefinitely. Life goes on, with its form changing continuously… Sacred texts–THE CONCEPT OF BIRTH AND DEATH

THE universe, according to the Buddhists, is in a constant state of change. They will there enjoy five hundred years of freedom from the sufferings of life in a state of mindless vacancy; but since they will not tread the path of the Nirvâna, evil desires must afterwards arise, and they must be born subsequently in hell. No wise man, therefore, would willingly go to that heaven.

Sacred Texts–THE BUDDHIST UNIVERSE The Buddhist “hells” (in Sanskrit, niliya or naraka), the prisons of the lost, are in some cases situated under the region inhabited by man. Twenty thousand yojanas (280,000 miles) below the Jambu continent is one called the Avichi naraka, or the “Hell of un-intermitted torments.” The Yama naraka is halfway between. Others are among fabled mountains, or on the shores of a great sea. In Chinese books they are called by a common name ti-yü, “earth-prisons.

Tao have their own idea of heaven and hell—Hell and heaven are in your own heart. Unless heaven reside within you, the mere reading or reciting of sacred books profiteth nothing.” Then looking around in the Middle Hall he added: “You have a rare gem in your house; for when I entered I saw the radiance of a holy light. Where do you keep your treasure?”

The host answered: “In this poor dwelling there is nothing worthy the name of a treasure.”

The priest then took Wan Teh-Hsü by the hand and led him to the place where the Kan Ying P’ien lay, saying: “This holy book is the treasure. All the holy men of the three religions selected and compiled it to point out the way of virtue on which every one should walk. If a man disciplines himself according to its instructions, the truth will shine forth in all

[1. The six domains are those of (1) the gods, (2) human beings, (3) animals, (4) asuras or fighting demons, (5) hungry ghosts, and (6) denizens of hell. The three paths are lust, wrath, and greed. The three paths and the six domains constitute the wheel of Samsara.]
its glory, and every letter in the sacred writing will emit rays of divine light. But if you recite the sacred text with a secret desire for profit or reward, selfishness will darken its native glory, and the writing will show no illumination. To my vision the glorification of the holy book is perfect. Its saintly atmosphere has ascended to heaven, resulting in an harmonious blending of your heart with the will of the Lord on High. Your immortality is assured and I bless you. But keeping in sight the heavenly station that awaits you, you must continue to exercise still more self-control in your dealings with your fellow men. Be diligent and fail not to fulfill the work so auspiciously begun.”

Even the Egyptians speak of heaven and hell
from Sacred-Texts.com–IN the scene that illustrates the FIRST DIVISION of the Tuat, which is passed through by the Sun-god during the FIRST HOUR of the night, we see that the centre of the middle section is divided lengthwise into two parts by a river which flows along it. In the upper part is the boat of the dead Sun-god AF, who is in the form of a rain-headed man; he wears a disk upon his head, and stands within a shrine in the SEKTET boat, i.e., the boat in which the god travels from noon to sunset. In front of the shrine in the boat stand the three deities, AP-UAT, SA, and the “Lady of the Boat,” who wears on her head a disk and horns. Behind the shrine stand five gods, each having the head of a man; the names of the first four are HERU-HEKENU, KA-SHU, i.e., the “double of Shu,” NEHES, i.e., the “Look-out,” and HU, and the fifth is the Steersman KHERP. On the high prow of the Sektet boat hangs an object which is said to be a carpet by some, and a reed mat by others, and on the side, near the curve of the prow, is an utchat. In front of the boat march:– 1. The two goddesses MAAT, the one representing the South of Egypt, and the other the North. 2. The god NEKENT-F, who holds a spear, or knife, in his left hand. 3. The god KHENTI AMENTET, bearded, and in mummy form, and wearing the White Crown and the Menat. 4. The god SEKHET, or as it is written here SEKHMET, lioness-headed. 5. The god SEHETCH-UR, ram-headed. the second UT-METU-TEM, the third UT-METU-KHEPERA, and the fourth UT-METU-ASAR. 7. The leader of the company, who is called TCHA-UNNUT; by his side is a serpent, called SA (?), that stands on his tail. 6. Four Terms, the first of which is called UT-METU-RA,—click this link to read more.

These are just some of the things written in other peoples/cultures text. Just because we have different names for our religious views doesn’t mean that the other person is wrong or right. It doesn’t make us wrong or right either. The similarities to me show that they could be equally wrong or right. The similarities only show me that maybe the differences we placed there on purpose for whatever reason. Man can be good, and man can be evil.

No one was there when Joseph Smith was supposedly told to write the book of Mormon, but he wrote it. There is no proof that man didn’t write an of these doctrines to detoured the rest of man from the truth. Humans are like sheep.

They believe that which they hear.

They trust their friends over strangers.

Why, because they know them.

But what if your best friend was messing with your wife and someone tried to tell you.

Would you believe them even if they were telling the truth if you didn’t know this person at all. Most likely not. We are creatures of habit.

We have to be familiar with who we are talking to before we trust them. Most of the time the person has to have proof that what they say is true, but it is easy to falsify the truth.

It is easy to place false blame on others. In the days of the Salem witch trials, many women and men lost their lives, and they weren’t even witches.

The following are all documented incidents in the killings of “witches.” ONLY incidents relating to witchcraft accusations have been included. Bear in mind that this is assuredly not all of them. Interestingly, it is possible to document that of all the trials, only one set (in 1390 Milan) involved women tried for practicing rites led by the pagan Goddess Diana. The bulk of the trials between 1400 and 1700 involved diabolism, Luciferianism, and acts relating to the Devil. Before 1400, the majority of trials were focused on the use of magics to harm others, to practice treasonous divination and spells against a monarch. It is therefore a reasonable assumption to make that the trials and persecutions of the “Burning Times” were not aimed at actual practicing “pagans,” but rather at a whole other class of people. Some were guilty. Most were probably innocent and Christian. A few were “Satanists,” most were not. Some were just senile. Or too ugly. Or too pretty. Or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. (click on this link if you want to learn more.)

Even in the face of adversity these people did not loose faith. Most of them died for their faith. Many stood accused of something that they never believed in or practiced. Do you think that it is over? Think again.

(CNN) — A woman in rural Papua New Guinea was bound and gagged, tied to a log and set ablaze on a pile of tires this year, possibly because villagers suspected her of being a witch, police said on a Thursday.

Her death adds to a growing list of men and women who have been accused of sorcery and then tortured or killed in the South Pacific island nation, where traditional beliefs hold sway in many regions.

This may have happened in Papua New Guinea, but does that mean it can’t happen here in our own back yard. No, and it doesn’t have to be a witch that is being hunted down. Predgiduce is predgiduce. It is created by the fear of what you don’t know of something or someone. Straight men are fearful gay men. Straight women are fearful of lesbian women. These people are different, yet the Divine created them. We have to have faith that the divine created them for a reason. The Divine would not have allowed them to have been born onto this world if he/she/it didn’t have a use or reason for them. You must have faith in The Divine and all of his creations that each and every one of them have a useful purpose on this earth and anywhere else in this or any other cosmos that there is.

FAITH–That is our word for the day. This World Is Made For Love And Peace.

Games aren’t real. They are a release from reality. Anyone who takes games seriously needs mental help–seriously. The following are my favorite forms of release.

Vaperida
A RPG that you pick the role of a Lycin, Vampire, or hunter

. Starwake is a Massively Multi player Online Role Playing game where YOU are in control of your destiny.

In Pirate Quest you will explore the vast reaches of the Caribbean, pillaging and plundering with the likes of thousands of other seafaring blokes and wenches. With colorful, interactive graphics, text-based RPGs have never felt so alive before! Grab yer rum and prepare to set sail on an adventure from which you will never want to return!

I’m not saying that you should go out and try these games. I’m just saying that these my games of choice, andI’m a preacher. Growing up, I would never have imagined my Pastor playing a video game of any sort. Instead, I invisioned him/her saying something stupid like it was of the devil or something lamer than that. or maybe just as lame. However, Reverends, Pastors, and so forth are people too and we like to relax just as much as the next guy/gal. I like the dungeon and dragon games. As I play, if you came around at those times you would probalby hear me screaming at the hellspan on the computer as I kill them one by one “Die Hell Spawn of Evil!” ” Die and stay in Hell!” or in a maniacle tone “Luci go byebye.” I’ll admit it, the game is compelling and quite enjoyable. For me it is as enjoyable as a football game for some people. Difference is that I don’t have to record it while I go to church. I can play them any time I want as long as all my work is done. By the way, Luci is short for Lucifer.
