Little Children

When does human life begin to have value? At conception, at birth, at baptism, at communion, at puberty, at marriage; when does the soul enter our earthly body?
The soul is the invisible part that ascends to Heaven, up there in the stars.
To get through St Peter's gate, can the human cram for his exam and pass, or bribe the gatekeeper?
Suppose the soul is conceived along with the flesh, and has a lifetime to gain knowledge, and suppose religions set the exam papers?
First question:- Have you ever made love purely for pleasure, unwilling to conceive?
Second Question:- Do you always tell the truth?
The answers to these would never give cause to put the examiners on overtime. As to transportation of souls, it may well lead to a 'Celestial Sandgate,'
It seems that only when the human race gets rid of all religions, and finds the true God, will we ever be able to understand and enjoy our life on this 'Heavenly' planet.

It is Christmas,.
The birth of Jesus, the birth of hope, the birth of his message, 'peace on earth, goodwill to all mankind.
For this he was murdered, horrifically.
Yesterday, in Pakistan, the Taliban murdered over 100 schoolchildren.
A few days ago, a young lady from Pakistan was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
In Iraq and Syria, the 'God' of that region is the Kalashnikov and the knife.
It seems this 'God' wants weapons to replace all and every man's intelligence.
But it was God who gave mankind its intelligent creative brain.
God is shooting God.

It is Christmas,
Is Santa Clause a target?
Will some irritable Lapland herdsman shoot down his Reindeer and sledge, kill Santa and plunder his sack of presents, most of them for children.
And as he tows this booty into Stockholm, dead reindeer's, a beheaded Santa, a blood stained sledge, will he expect the blonde and beautiful virgins to fall at his feet?

It is Christmas.

Christman, ah Christmas, time to celebrate the birth of hope, the end of oppression, freedom to think, Jesus set his people free.
Almost immediately, religions sprung up to put us back into jail. What is worse, they use rituals and gospels to groom us into blind obedience, and where there is a difference of worship, we kill each other. Absolute ignorant irrational, and totally un-godly mayhem.
For little children, Christmas is the time of gifts and dreams.
'Dreams are not Enough, they need courage and grit, else they turn into empty day dreams and are forgotten. At some time, every life will face difficulties and hardship, sometimes at a very early age. When 'Grit' is used to overcome these problems, it turns into a pearl that glows from within the heart, and will, for the rest of any life,  light the way.'
That is the Christmas message of Lord Grit to all children.
Prayer is asking for help, worship is a form of communication with the supreme intelligence, and by this two way exchange, we can all know whether or not God is with us. I suspect He does not approve of slaughter on His behalf.
If what you read on this blog makes you think, please link it to your friends. thinking is not a terminal illness, and some may quite like it.

humour

Humour is an essential element in our lives. It simply does not exist in religions, and is swamped by piety and rituals. Stress is a killer, laughter relieves stress, and religions are without humour. As a logical equation it seems that religions insist on miserable piety, and don't mind in the least if some of us die with stress.
Humur comes from a different view of life that is created in our brains, and who made those brains, God.
I've met a lady who is a Pagan, so I looked it up in my pocket dictionary.
"Pagan male, watch it sunshine."
"Pagan female, Cor!!!"
The knees of the Archpip are utterly opposed to 'kneeling.' At the same time they insist on being given voice, with appropriate absolution for the offence their 'gristly' opinions may engender. Thus with my blessings, and under their battle slogan of 'Stand up for Christ's sake,' as their Christmas Present, I will soon be opening up a blog entitled the 'Nine O'Clock Knees,' with knees flashes from kneeshopunds all over the world.
The intention is to let all knees sing out, let the knees dance a jig, and let the knees cut loose the political and religious chains of politics and religion that imprison our brains and our joy of life.

A Happy Life on Earth

With wars and violence all over the world, it seems the concept of a happy life on Earth is beyond the teachings of religions. Laughter, friendship, fun, none of these seem to have a place in the lives of worshipers, instead it must be misery, piety, and restrictive domination, forced on man by laws and violence. The reward for creating or enduring this Earthly misery is happiness: after you are dead.
It just does not make sense. The wonderful natural beauty of this planet, the joys of life, music, food, wine, love, friendship, and sex, it seems that few believe these joys were of God's intent, and yet He is our creator.
It could be He sent Jesus to tell us that planet Earth is Heaven. He gave man a brain, with which worship and meditation will, at some point in our earthly life, reveal  this Heaven to us. From this joy of life on Earth, our souls build their own Heaven, and the final sleep of death lets us dream of this into eternity.
There needs to be more thought, individual thought, God's greatest gift to man.

Hatred

Is hatred now the strongest human motivation? If so where goes civilization, what is there to build on? Killing civilians, blasting an aircraft from the skies, what lunatics can believe any God condones such inhuman behavior?
And in such instances, all we ever get from religious leaders is: silence.
Christianity proclaims that God is 'Almighty and everlasting,' but why does He never speak to any of them?
Maybe the human race upset Him. If anyone brutally murdered our only child, would we accept a cover up that made our child's death a cause for celebration and holy reverence?
Perhaps we should ignore the fairy tale that is Easter,  and ask for His forgiveness, offer our repentance, then pray for our resurrection as human beings. Then the world might stand a chance of enjoying this God given heavenly planet, ending in contentment and a life in the hereafter, a world born of our earthly dreams.
Self ordained as Archpip Plumtree, I am not a holy man, but I do like to make sense of any belief, .and the God I pray for is a whole lot cleverer and vocal than the one presented by the church..
Open up your minds, take the peel off your plums, look into the sweetness of life, keep your pip firm and your kernel pure.

Parenting

 Babies have empty tummies and empty heads. It is the responsibility of parents and society to nourish both. Baby will scream for food, thus an empty tummy is immediately obvious, but baby's mind gives no such warning of emptiness. All parents, writers, children's t/v, and advertising should give a lot more thought to what is presented to a child's brain, and build in some good human qualities. If a baby eats bad food it will be sick, if fed bad thoughts, it will grow up with a sick mind, very difficult if not impossible to cure.
Not to brainwash into some robot,but to continually freshen up with all the glories of human existence, laughter, friendship, honesty, trust, music, dance, and the richness of living on planet earth..
Let us spread the blossoms and juices of life, and begin the day baby is born.
