What is Your Belief???

Page 249 of 365.

Good Afternoon Lovies. I would advise you to grab a drink, kick back, and sit tight... this one is gonna be a bit of a wild ride... and a lot of people may be offended by what I am going to write about; but who would I be, if I just kept my mouth shut and complied with everyone else???

Before I get into the nitty gritty of my views, let me reassure you that I am NOT condoning any sort of violence; so take heed of that as we proceed through this blurb....

There has been a lot, and I mean A LOT of hatred, vandalism, and killing of Christians lately (some of them being children), which has been devastating. I DO mourn the loss of lives... anybody's life... so maybe the next part of what I am going to say, will be very contradictory, but it IS a proven part of history!!!

I have family who are Catholic, Christians, Orthodox, Protestants, Reformed, etc. I also have family who are Pagan, Atheist, Satanist, Luciferian, Wicca, etc. So needless to say, I have a bit of knowledge when it comes to religion and its history... particularly the darker side...

I am sure at this point, you kind of know where I am going with this...

Christians are being attacked now; but that is just the newest in the spiritual warfare since the beginning of time.... The Saxon Wars. The Crusades (European Christians and Muslims), Toltec Wars. French Wars of Religion between the Catholics and the Huguenots (Protestants). The Thirty Years' War (Happened in Rome between Catholics and Protestants, which devastated the population of Germans and their lands). The Taipang War (civil war in China, which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions). The never-ending warfare in the MIddle East. The English Reformation and the Irish Confederate Wars.

(Those are just a few of the MANY spiritual wars that happened through the ages). I guess what I am saying is this..

I know from my own point of view, the crisis that is happening now. The attacks on Christianity, is horrendous but it was not completely unexpected. I won't say that I don't sympathize with Christians, because they are people, just like everyone else. I am also not going to ignore the fact that many of my ancestors were murdered and maimed for their beliefs and practices too. 

They were hung, burned, beheaded, drowned, ostracized, raped, (I think you get the picture). This may sound harsh, but this is truly how I feel. Back in history, no one cared about my ancestors, their ages, nor whether they were guilty of any crime; they were murdered for simply having a mole on their skin, or hair that was different. Anything that made them seem odd to anyone... they were tortured and killed. 

Do I believe killing someone based on their religion is right? Absolutely not. I definitely do NOT feel children should be persecuted for beliefs that are not even their own to choose. 

At the end of the day, I personally believe that everyone has the right to their own beliefs as long as they do not harm animals and children.... it is really that simple in my mind. Women are not meant to be slaves... (but that is a whole other topic, for another day).

I hope this made sense to some of you... Have a blessed day!!!

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
