The enemy uses religion to divide

An instrument with claims to unite the people, is used to filter and distribute separation in the masses.

"There was once a good man who had twelve children, as time went on two by two they left their father's house. Some went to the lifestyle that dishonored their father, other's left home never to be heard of again, a few went to school to follow their dreams as professionals, while other stayed close to their father's heart. Divided by time and space, ethical versus unethical lifestyles, some remembered their aging dad while others forgot, dispite all these factors the father remained faithful to his sons. Bone from his bone, life from his girth he remembers them all before each night and hope for the day when the scattered might unite."

I view the almighty God as such father. His likeness has been seen amongst man, but since we understand differently this truth, his likeness has been broken into many names and abbreviations, little nuggets of gold hidden behind the masses. I strongly sense that religon which was originally created to honor and revere such father, had faltered in many of its levels. Instead of focusing on the universal truth the instrument religon has become a stumbling block for the masses. Religon has become a self centered act, an tool used by our common enemy to divide and conquer the peopls. Black, white, asian, red, north, south, east and west, every descendent under the sky are all linked to a single creation, we are all connected bone from his bone, breathe from his lunges, one Heavenly father. Something is wrong with our beliefs when we kill(by slander, act of assault, idea) our brother(s), claiming doing the father's business. Which loving father would allow one of his child's to kill another one of his child? I can't hate my brother's for being deceived, all i can do is to tell them to remember the father, and his likeness, he is of peace, and hopes and prays for day when we can all sup together.


Any religon that teaches seperation and superiority i do not accept, it is not of the father's heart. Organized religon is death, preachers forming concrete concepts with open to interpretation truths is pointless. Don't let our differences separate, rather discover the common denominator in all schools of belief, that we might fullfill our purpose in once again uniting with one another and eating at the table with Father. We all sing to one God, write psalms of adoration to one Father, a reflection of our creator, why separate ourselves on sunday's or anyday of the week, when we all one with the divine?


Common, did a song called Gaining One's Definition (G.O.D), simply approves what has been written;

Common:

Yo, the education of the Lon-chicka-Lonnie Lynn
Began, began with time
Being my bloodline is one with the divine
In time brotha, you will discover the light
Some say that God is Black and the Devil's White
Well, the Devil is wrong and God is what's right
I fight, with myself in the ring of doubt and fear
The rain ain't gone, but I can still see clear
As a child, given religion with no answer to why
Just told believe in Jesus cuz for me he did die
Curiosity killed the catechism
Understanding and wisdom became the rhythm that I played to
And became a slave to master self
A rich man is one with knowledge, happiness and his health
My mind had dealt with the books of Zen, Tao the lessons
Koran and the Bible, to me they all vital
And got truth within 'em, gotta read them boys
You just can't skim 'em, different branches of belief
But one root that stem 'em, but people of the venom try to trim 'em
And use religion as an emblem
When it should be a natural way of life
Who am I or they to say to whom you pray ain't right
That's who got you doin right and got you this far
Whether you say "in Jesus name" or Hum do Allah
Long as you know it's a bein' that's supreme to you
You let that show towards others in the things you do
Cuz when the trumpets blowin, 24 elders surround the throne
Only 144,000 gon get home

Crown Me

i'm a month in at this new spot in the city, its a technology/information provider for major corporations. I work in a floor with all Habibi's, cool peoples no doubt, there my fam away from home. Though we look totally different we share the same continent. Like what i always say, "if we can live together we can work together". In all truth the 22nd century is ours for the taking, i believe we dominating in the present--we d-blocked the scepter from the past carriers and we about to take the thrown of civilization. For one we already a couple of gazillion deep over at China, the tsunami's/natural disasters (God Bless their souls) wiped out many but our spirits remain unconquerable, production wise we make practically everything in lower to middle income household, from video games to computer software our hard to pronounce ungrammatical last names fill the end credits. We hold a lot of shares in making this present day, 21st Century Marketplace move like clockwork. The Habibi's are major, they pulling in mad dough for the corporation. Hard working humble people, we large but we ain't like other minority groups that bring a lot of eye balls, and demand attention, i mean the chinese wrote the art of war, we know the strength of silence and the effectiveness of working behind the scenes. What i notice is that, we as a people are progressing, men and women of different talents and gifts are uniting, coming together merging ideas, uniting concepts, and simple making things work. i need to prepare for this modern day takeover, i'm going to take advantage of this 4 day weekend and brush up on my Art of War, 36 Strategies of the Chinese, and 48 Laws of Power. My peoples prepare yourself for the throne-I feel like simba.

The Communist Manifesto

I'm not really cheering on the churches side nowadays. I guess I'm seeing a different light, a brighter, warmer ray that came when i turned my back on the narrow road. I guess I'm a follower that has been tired of seeing only with one eye. I mean, my beef with the congregation or the lack of it, bluntly is that "church doesn't build people up". Yes they say it in their manuals and even have included them in their believer's creed, but written statements that are not acted are as useless as dusty Bibles on the shelves. By building people up I am referring to developing a person consciously, socially, cognitively, educating them, making them aware of the world thats around them. Applicable truth is replaced with manipulative selective teaching, used as a power to suppress. What i see presently, churches informally teaches hate, emphasizes a narrow myopic view, and enforced a "us against the world" mentality. What i can't stand, is that the world accepts the church, its just we can't accept them because there not in our "saved, santified, brought by the blood" club. We brag of our hatred by picketting Abortion clinics, Gay Marches, etc, yet the world don't picket our meeting places on sundays, with signs that read, "Quit teaching Hate" (they should!). What does that say about the message were preaching?

Sin, Individual shortcomings are not seen as opportunities for communal growth, rather when shh goes down, people are taught to keep it under wraps, because its going to be hell's wrath when a church elder, or Sunday's gossip columnist hears about it. How can we build people up, when shortcomings are seen as open doors for ridicule and judgment? Evil balances Good. We can't appreciate the good without the existence of evil. Balance makes the world go around, the church will know this if they put the Bible down, and enlighten themselves with other wholesome books. Back to sin, what happens when you rid a man of all its desires? I'm not talking about bad habits that have overtaken the person, by natural desires I'm talking about humanistic tendencies, sexual, ethical, cultural natures that make up our individuality, that make up who we are? We become robots when all that is taken, without clear conscious thinking. Was that what God intended to create? Second question, How do you defeat a person's will? A person's will is what cheers them on, keeps him going. How can someone destroy, annihilate another's will? By constantly hearing that he has wronged, that this wrong is unacceptable, unless changed he cannot be accepted. Little by little, that muthaflucker dies. I'm not going to stand by such a act that kills and destroys individuals. Wolves in sheep clothing are very active this day. The parable of "wolves in sheep fleece" is  a popular message heard a lot on sundays, little did we know the wolves they refer to are the church ministers who have corrupted a social gospel, a revolutionary way of behaving taught by Jesus and limited it to condemnation and narrow way of life, tricking the masses.
