“One may see another as holy or as a saint..

What the eye can’t is the devil inside bleached with paint.

Why is it that not a few are blind to pious hypocrisy?.

This deceitful world that’s overrated for what it’s worth to me.

Because the Biblical demons of fire and brimstone come from hell..

But our personal demons deep within our very selves they dwell.”

-Demons

“Was told I expected Christians to be perfect.

Take some time to ponder on these and their effect..

‘Our way is the truth and the only way.’

Other ways; then hell is the price to pay.

‘We do not worship statues, that is idolatry.’

Catholics don’t worship them too, born-agains can’t see.

‘Live The Word; women are not allowed to speak in Church but why the female pastor and counselor?

Is that not double-standard manipulation of The Word to their denomination’s favor?

‘Anything that does not conform to them is labelled as diabolical.’

Now you tell me, is that not some form of self-righteousness and therefore evil?

I could go on and thrust it all on your face..

But of course I won’t do that I know my place.

I just want to speak-loud of the truth, unsugar-coated for their bandwagon mentality..

Along with the intent to bury with brutal honesty, and maybe even set them free.”

“ Some people who have shifted Religion, Belief, Faith or what have you have to pray for, depth or open-mindedness.

The likes of them are truly convinced that their more ‘decorated’ or ‘ritualized’ counterpart literally pray to the religious statues or images.

Not a few went to the extent of setting the so-called ‘idols,’ ( which mostly were previously of their parents’ ) on fire burning them to ashes.

Whatever happened to their renowned virtues such as respecting others, practicing peace and actions done in the name of love?

This mentality and perception go way back even when I was in a Christian highschool; with a ‘wrath of Godesque’ teacher/pastor leading the charge.

This form of mentality and perception are also one of the many reasons certain people question God ‘Why?’

To me, perspective and open-mindedness both should evolve with time along with the character of an individual.

Preachers, counselors, teachers etc. whom talk and move like Jesus yet do not practice what they preach, project an image opposite of who they really are and are quick to judge everything that does not conform to their own should be the ones burned ( #ThouShouldNotBeTooLiteral ) at the stake; same as what their post-reformative predescendants did to those they ‘labelled’ and condemned as witches and evil even though Wiccans claim not all are so.

Simply put, one should not be too hasty to judge another or anything for the matter; worst do something dire or extreme simply because it deviates from his or her own conviction.

This in my opinion is a form of xenophobic defense mechanism, that is certain to cause fragmentation. Fragmentation spawns gaps and those gaps become walls between people; family or friends both.

But if they would only take a brief moment to look at the mirror to tell the truth; that commonsense and purity of heart reveal that God is Love and love does not and should never divide.

I’m wondering why it has not even occurred to these people that as early as the dark ages man being mortals and because we have the soul were already in search of a Creator or God?

Case in point; when man during those times saw the sun make their crops grow understandably they would think that the sun is God since this was many decades before Christianity; there were no Churches nor Bibles nor missionaries nor education and so I do not think God condemned them rather saw the good intentions of their hearts not their superficial action of praying to the sun or say, making stick figures to represent or symbolize God in their pursuit of Him. As a matter of fact these acts might even flatter a Creator.

In times when I feel that God is so far I myself grasp something as I pray, like a rosary just to give me something solid or concrete to feel and believe in and I’m not even Catholic. Also, this certainly does not imply that my focus is not towards nor that this replaces God rather it helps with my focus, but then probably those who disagree probably have an anti-thesis to this and that is ‘The devil wants you to think that way.’ To me, God does not have low self-esteem issues hence He will never be insecure to nor make a big deal of ‘idols.’

Lastly, the Bible is both a powerful tool and a weapon but is dangerous if taken too literally and in the wrong context and connotation. I hope that the trigger-happy ‘idolatry judgmentals’ would get the point here, lest they themselves be judged as well with zealotry.”
