Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

NO PROTECTION
Any religion should stop being protected as religion when it crosses over into vile activities and requires the taking away of another man, woman or child's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Dani – Marla – Changes – Thank you for the agreement.
Nancy – Amen to your comment. I have never attended a church where the pastor discussed politics and I truly believe in the separation of church and state, but how are we every going to bring that to pass?
Loving Annie – Talon – So glad you agree. Today is the saddest remembrance of what some zealots can do in the name of religion and that is not to say the Christians and others have not also done horrible things too.
Jessi – Bless you for always speaking up with something worthwhile. I could not agree with Thomas Paine more and appreciate you for sharing that.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteY E S!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more.....
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that makes America the greatest country in the World is the COMPLETE separation of Church and State.
ReplyDeleteEvery country that has mixed the two has failed...We must keep religion out of politics or we are in danger of failing,too.
Totally agree!
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't get any disagreement from me.

ReplyDeleteugh...that's all of them (eastern religions included).
ReplyDeleteThomas Paine has some good quotes:
- Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst
- My mind is my own church
maybe the first drove him to the second?
It makes me so upset when people do violent and hateful things in the name of God. Totally missing the message.
