On Being Perfectly Clear - 2


In my last blog I appended, among other footnotes, one wherein I said:

"There is a lot of wisdom in the Bible.  But also a lot of error."

Let me be clear; and Note, as Richard Thompson of the Thomas More Law Center has said:

"Islamic clerics around the world have been bragging for a long time that they will destroy America, that Islam will replace Christianity and the Koran will replace the Bible."

But Islam is a religion of The Book as well; and it can be said that all religions of 'the people of The Book' are in error.  To some extent, at the very least.

Know, that the Truth - the whole Truth - will out, and shall prevail.  That is written in the very nature of the universe.

As to Our Times:

There is a war going on, between the Dark and the Light, for our souls.

Choose wisely, friend.

And that's all that I'm going to say on that subject.  For now.

Except to acknowledge a logical question at this point:

'How does one know The Truth?  Separate the wheat from the chaff??'

My answer, at this point:

By deep, inner listening.  By, that is to say:

resonance.

--

I am hard on 'religion'.  But I am dedicated to 'spirit'.  To, that is to say: Truth.  And as for approximating, and aligning our efforts with, Truth - and regarding America, and Her role in our sailing that sea, to a new destination, for the world; consider:


The Mystical George Washington
"Do not let any one claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics." George Washington
(The source for this quote has yet to be found, but as you will see, it is perfectly consistent with the one below. Editor)
"Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
George Washington's Farewell Address, Sept. 17, 1796

    Let no one dishonor this country, and its highest purposes for humanity.  We have a destiny to fulfill, with integrity.
