OK too

If you think it is important to refine your message to reach more people than feel free to use me as if you were trying to speak to your past self or any other concept of what another person may be thinking.

I can respond back, unlike your past self, and unlike a lot of people who will slam the door shut as soon as they hear the word Jesus.

My wife asked again as to why I've been typing all day. I said that the subject matter is interesting to me, not just the political and economic stuff, but this person has a religious background. I reported how I just rephrased the same question I ask of all the religious people who once knocked on our door, they no longer knock on our door, and I asked if she would care to hear the conversation.

She asked about how much time it would take, and I said never mind. She went back to doing things she deems important.

With me this is not new, I'm not someone who may have never thought about God or Jesus or Religion and is therefore like a sponge ready to absorb these messages. I am also not someone who may have been indoctrinated into an anti-religious, dogmatic, false doctrine of vehement disbelief.

I've been working on Political Economy for at least 30 years, but the concept of Religion has been a power struggle in my soul, as I use my brain to "take sides", for at least 40 years. This is not new to me in principle, and the details either fit, or do not fit, into my present state in the power struggle.

So...I don't reject, and I don't accept easily because the battle has been raging for 40 years, the trenches go deep, the lines are drawn out, and to suggest that it is all my imagination sounds interesting but hardly valid.

I don't reject concepts because someone else hands me a script that says I must reject a concept.

I don't accept a concept because someone else hands me a script that says I must accept a concept.

The concept of someone else absolving me of sin, on the other hand, is deep down into the trenches, already, and I've taken sides on that one, so fire away, the war may end soon.

This is funny, too, because I went to my Guitar teacher with the new (new to me) Beatles Song My Guitar Gently Weeps and I told him that my guitar doesn't do the weeping thing, so my version reflects all the battles between the Angels going on my head, and he said something along the lines of that sounding familiar to his constitution, and he was having a bad morning up until that point.

Go figure.
