I am the Temple of God!

KEEP RELIGION PRIVATE, BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD, IF YOU HAVE ONE. If not, that’s your business, not mine. You do not need to pray in a building adorned in gold while you worry about food at home. You do not need others to tell you to make personal sacrifices for the preservation of a religion. You can pray while driving, or bathing, eating or sitting in a park. YOU ARE THE TEMPLE. There is nothing that organized religion can give you but words. The feelings, beliefs and emotion of being next to God, come from you, in a movie theatre, a library, a bus, or a church or temple. 

Many people go to a Church or Synagogue for reasons other than religious piety. Of course, there is a sense of camaraderie, a sense of unity.  They like the feeling of community. They are supported in their beliefs by the fact that others seem to have the same beliefs, But, prayer is considered a personal thing, between you and God. We all have different things for which we pray. Reciting, by rote or reading prayers we truly do not understand is not God's intent. And the more the world’s population grows the busier He gets.

Many people do not believe this, but all who pray, pray to the same GOD. Some pray to Jesus, some don't. Muslims  pray to God, whom they call ALLAH. Some to El, Elohim, Elha, Om, Gayatri, YWHW, Jehovah, The Light, Adonai, Abba, Shangdi, Shen, Tasawwuf, Hu, Parvardigar and many more.  But, there is only ONE GOD. 

God's own teaching tells us NO person has a right to tell you what you can do with the Temple that is your body. YOU are the Temple and the Direct Connection with and to  your God. The God. In 2016, ONE can be religious, devout and moral without the judgement of others. 


iF YOU ARE RELIGIOUS, even though God ordered the HEBREWS to build The Temple in order that He may be closer to His people  GOD SAID, "EVERY MAN IS A TEMPLE UNTO HIMSELF. YOU DO NOT NEED A ROOF OR TENT OVER YOUR HEAD. YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD.” Jews are requested (required) to place a Mezuzah on the front door post of their homes and wear a mezuzah around their necks in order that their Temple is always with them, wherever they may be.  The orthodox are told to wear a yarmulke to represent the roof of the temple and in reverence to God. But, again, the Temple is within you.  

Organized religion has created more harm and death than all other excuses  in the history of mankind. 

Corinthians 9 "....Ye are God's building. 

Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20)
16 Know Ye not that Ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the Temple of God is holy, which Temple Ye are.

18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

another version....
John 2:21  But he spake of the temple of his body.

1 Corinthians 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

We are all individuals. We all have our own beliefs, desires, goals and sense of purpose. While we may share some of our ideals with others, we achieve the differently. We are not one community, but MEMBERS of a community. I do not have to believe or think as my neighbor does. 


We can share common interests, even God, but the way I do it may be different. And that’s okay. God wants us to be individuals, with our own thoughts and dreams. He gave us FREE THOUGHT. The ability to make our own decisions. The ability to reason. To create. To build. To believe. To pray.

WHERE IS THE RELIGION IN TRUMP? Point it out, please.

Millions of people still support Trump. Why? People with whom Trump has taken peace of mind, dignity, respect, pride, and more. He gave a 'tax cut.' That gave the average recipient a hundred dollars or so in their pockets. His friends got millions. However, due to these cuts, Medicare, medicine, local taxes (i.e., R.E. and property, sales, State Income) are increasing, making those tax-cuts void. In fact, the average middle-class citizen will net LESS after his cuts than before. It's all a DECEPTION.  In 2017, Trump earned $288 million. In 2018, $453+ million. How much more are you NETTING. He created potential trade wars, which will negatively affect produce producing states, then pushed significant cuts in Farm Subsidies. Farmers cannot find labor for harvests. Trump has: eliminated the Clean Air and Water Acts; cut public education funds, cut credits and increased tariffs related to ecology; cut MPG ratings; eliminated National parks. He eliminated middle-class workers...

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.

The Great builder STILL believes the wall will take three days to build.

  The Moscow Lapdog-in-Chief, stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” This was the first time he ever mentioned the deaths of the children by his own actions and edicts. Those children would not have been protected.  Knowing his intelligence level, he probably believes his wall can be built in three days. Most people think it would take up to fifteen years. Moreover, no one believes it will be effective.   Also on the last days of the year, the megalomaniac froze wages for Federal Workers who have been furloughed; people who are out of work, while the person responsible whines about spending the holidays alone (he did not), dines. He canceled his appearance at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Mar-A-Lago. Investors paid vast amounts of money to be in the same room with him — no refu...
