Oh, oh mercy, mercy me. Oh, things aint’ what they used to be. ~Marvin Gaye

Something is terribly wrong in our world.

If the murdering of innocent people is what is needed by fanatics to light the way for their political ideologies, I’d rather be plunged back into an abyss of darkness—for certainly it can’t be any darker than watching the horror of how man treats man.

What is the matter with people?

People are murdered like this for what?, a religiously based “Idea”? Terrorism justifies its murders “in the name of God”, or one of many variations. Whether one believes in that God or just uses the idea of that deity as a means to an end, there is no denying the billions of deaths that have been caused, either directly or indirectly over the history of time, by peoples beliefs in their religions.

My God doesn’t teach that. My God is about love, tolerance and respect. My God is about creating life, not desecrating it.

You think God is blessing these atrocities? Wake up! There will be no mercy on your soul.

We blame society? Wake up! We ARE society!

Since the beginning of time, the single greatest act a person can witness is the miracle of life. The instant when Divine spirit breathes energy into the soul of a human being. If you’re a parent, you know what I mean. As a child enters this world, you’re overcome by the magnificence and perfection that is life, and you feel as though you’re in the presence of God—you’re humbled to tears of joy. It’s a magnificent feeling of love.

And we as humans think we have the right to take that away?

We don’t. No one does.

Wake up people! WAKE UP!!!!!!
