Some Say in Ice: "God will judge America over abortion and gay marriage."

farheenarina:

OK, let’s get this straight:

God didn’t judge America over the millions of natives that were exploited, raped, murdered and had their land stolen.

God didn’t judge America over the millions of Africans that had boulders tied to their legs and were raped, enslaved and…

This God character is suspect

Mormon Church spent more on one mall in Utah than on 30 years of humanitarian aid

Read the thread. So quality. 

This week, Microsoft employees (just regular folks like me) passed the $1 billion mark in charitable contributions given through the Employee Giving Foundation since 1983. The Mormon church has given roughly the same amount in the same period of time.

The Mormon church has 14 million members. Microsoft has 94 thousand employees. Fancy that.

You know, it’s funny how people can ride in a plane, write a sermon on a laptop, listen to gospel on an ipod, touch down via radar, walk through automatic doors into an air-conditioned mega-church where they can stand on a hydraulic stage beneath a thousand electric lights, and then give a speech skeptical of science.

huffingtonpost: “That picture was taken during the Sikh day parade. He was one of the first people I photographed. He’s a computer IT specialist. He travels a lot. Sikhs at the time were being randomly selected for security. I wish people would just say “you have that thing on your hand and we aren’t sure what it is” instead telling someone they are randomly selected. One time he wore the shirt through security and the guard chuckled. It’s a way of loading off steam at the reality that people have to face. When the tragedy first happened, my heart sunk. A time frame is a time frame. The pictures have been out there. I wasn’t thinking that people need to see this. When I was speaking to the Sikh Coalition, I was thinking this is the perfect time for people to see them because they wouldn’t just see the suffering but see the positive things. I had this vision of how I wanted these pictures to look. I’m not creating a false environment; I want to portray the positive images not in crisis and in mourning. Those types of pictures are important. But I want people to understand the vibrancy of this community.” Photographing Sikhs With Fiona Aboud

Late morning, just before lunch, one of Lin Chi’s monks comes up to him half-crazed, out of his mind with ecstasy, babbling about Buddha. Says he’s seen him. Says he was just walking down the road when suddenly: Buddhamind. Enlightenment. Nirvana. The big payoff. The monk can’t stop talking about it. Lin Chi strikes a match, lights his pipe, takes a long drag. Leaves the monk hanging, waiting for his reward. Instead, Lin Chi blows a cloud of smoke, reaches out, and smacks him.


“You meet the Buddha on the road,” Lin Chi says, “kill him.”

nextyearsgirl:

The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by God as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.

According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (God’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.

When you quote Leviticus as God’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what God or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your God and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.

So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

I’ll tell you what I don’t believe in, can I do that?
Alright, I don’t believe in the, in laws, or the system by any means, whatsoever
I try not to obey them at any time
That’s what I believe in, not believing in
(So what keeps you alive?)
Four big bottles of water a day, two packs of Marlboro Reds and
uh, what keeps me alive? Shit, um
Music, I have to listen to music all day long
I say that keeps me going
I’m a pretty dark person, I’ve thought about ending it a million times
and I have to say that music keeps me here, by far, the main thing.
