censorship

censorship is the tool of a weak mind used to defend a weak (or irrational) message... censorship is sad... even dangerous... especially religious censorship... too often religious censorship and attacks lead to wars... and then we have brother nathaniel... the scary thing is, the brother knows his audience and he is clear on his mission statement and purpose... and he understands and uses the power of propaganda and censorship... but claims to be officially recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church and claims his mission is to make America a Christian nation once again (obvious that he doesn't know it never was one and apparently does not uphold and defend the constitution cuz free speech and religious freedom is not allowed on in his world)... he appears to spend most of his time and preaching and energy on attacking jews for all sorts of crimes, rather than promoting christianity (unless the most important thing about being christian, or at least The Russian Orthodox Church, is attacking jews... somehow i don't don't think so, but then, i don't know much about the Russian Orthodox Church or their monks)... luckily, he blocked me from posting comments on his page so no more of my time will be spent there (but i felt noting his was worth an entry and even asked youtube if their guidelines include allowing hate-mongering against a specific religion... i mean, he's not just disagreeing, he's preaching stop the evil jews and making some irrational claims... i didn't save the comment he blocked, but it went something like this (actually, i was much kinder) in response to someone who asked for proof of his claims against jews

The Brother wants money, like many media preachers. But parroting Hitler and the KKK and advocating abandoning the US constitution is not the way to be a religious leader. The way to make things better is not by preaching hate or fear or in blaming others. THey way is working together to educate ourselves to live in peace. That was Christ's message. Love your neighbor.

I was responding to another commenter who asked for proof about the claims that the Jews were responsible for so many of the world's problems. Censoring that comment leads me to expand on my comment...

The brother wants money and preaches fear and hate, like many religious fanatics. He is not interested in discussion or truth. If he was truly spiritual and sought to give service to people and his God, he would realize that parroting Hitler and the KKK is not the way to do it. He is playing on the increasing paranoia and discontent in US culture just as Hitler did using the same rhetoric and advocating abandoning the US constitution, at least where Jews are concerned. The way to make things better is not in hate or fear or in blaming others. The answer is in working together to educate ourselves to live in peace. He fails to realize that the true message of Christ and most religions is to love your neighbor, not blame your neighbor for everything.

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
