Rainbows of the Soul

In reflection of the video that I posted a couple of days ago, I give you this Native American Proverb....


He who is present at a wrongdoing and does not lift a hand to prevent it is as guilty as the wrongdoers.

Foolishness

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.

I believe!

- Cher












Each day, we step out of the house and head off to work, blindly expecting sometimes to have a different result at the end of the day than we had the previous day.
It's my observation that if we are to achieve a different result, then we must start our day differently. Start it with an expectation of greatness. And an attitude to match.
That's not to say that everything is going to turn up roses for you on the first try. But sometimes you have to make a little mess and act a fool. Have fun and enjoy life! A positive, happy attitude will go much further than a boring obedient one will any day of the week.
Now, get out there and DANCE!

Kony 2012 - Stop at Nothing

I know this video is long at 29 minutes. But if you have the time, please check it out.

Kony 2012

There are things going on in this world that most people never hear about. But if this were happening for even one night in or near a town that any of us live in, it would be all over the news. Does it really matter where we live if there is an injustice happening and no one will do anything about it. Check it out.

Thanks.

COEXIST

A fellow blogger recently blogged about the symbol of the cross: A symbol of Love, or Hate? He brings up a good question. Christians are raised to see this symbol as something that represents their faith in God and the love that He has for all of us. The horizontal pieces can represent Jesus' arms stretched out, welcoming us. Why then, does this symbol represent so many mixed feelings for much of the population. I'm sure that I am not alone when I state that I have been rejected by the same people that preach this love and acceptance that the cross represents. According to the Bible, Jesus died so that we would not have to suffer. But to many of us, the church represents love and acceptance... if you change and see things our way.

I proudly display an emblem on my personal car. It is much like all the bumper stickers that you see all over the road. It reads COEXIST. The word is spelled out using religious symbols instead of letters and looks like this.

The idea is that we all need to live and let live. That we can all exist in this world without killing each other. No matter who you worship or what you call it, we are all humans and deserve the love and respect of other humans.

You can see here the explanation of each letter and what it stands for.


The Christians seem to be in an uproar about this whole thing and it is my belief that it is because the cross comes last and Islam comes first.

Now, I have seen several versions of this. Some replace the Male/Female with and e=mc2 which represents science. And some offer the ying-yang sign as the O and put the Peace sign dotting the I. All of them have three things the same. The CX & T always represent those three religions and always in that order.

Why?

Because those three seem to be the ones that need reminding of the whole idea the most and ....... That's how you spell COEXIST. Which is an excellent word to use for the "movement".

I was called the other day by a friend who was driving behind me and saw the emblem on my car. He was outraged by the fact that I would have that on my vehicle. Proclaiming that the Islamic people want to kill me and we should not even allow them in our country at all. He went on and on proving how much of a moron he is and that's when I realized that he is a youth minister at a local church!

For your entertainment and to be fair, I am now including a section of dialog from another website that proclaims the COEXIST movement as an abandonment of core absolute values.

The goal of this movement is the promotion of a pluralistic and universal utopian worldview. At the heart of this movement is the abandonment of core absolutes and values (moral and spiritual.) This movement seeks to undermine personal beliefs and practices for the supposed “betterment” of world unification. Its most damnable feature, however, is the staunch rejection of the sovereignty and reality of Almighty God, His authoritative Word (the Bible), and His Savior to all fallen men, the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 John 2:22-23). The chief Promoter of this godless ecumenical movement is the godless music industry and the pop icon Bono from the band U2. Hollywood and the fashion industry also promote this movement with an array of clothing products, gear and bumper stickers.

A phrase from the Coexist website states, “Coexist is a concept brand for everyone, connecting people and planet, together we symbolize life, love and global harmony.”

The Coexist phenomenon is the product of the subjective secular Left. The majority of the Coexist followers are secular liberals. This ideology of religious pluralism actually intersects with all three political ideologies (liberal, moderate, and conservative), but it has its greatest hold in the secular liberal mind (Romans 1:18-32; 8:5-8).

The true core of the Left are secularists who wish to promote a delusional, pluralistic universe that combines all godless ideologies. 

"However, their main goal and real agenda is to rid the world of all religious ideologies in favor of a secular, godless one".

Though at first glance the motivation behind this movement seems sincere, noble and virtuous, the very subtle hiss of Luciferian (Satanic) mass deception can be distinctly heard. This movement seeks to bring about a godless unification - while rejecting sound moral absolutes - of the scattered inhabitants of nations following the Tower of Babel rebellion ~4,300 years ago (Gen. 11:1-9; Dan. 2:31-35, 37-45; Rev. 13:12-14).

It goes on and on. Anyone wishing to read more can visit the site. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2696653/posts

While I was researching this more, I found this version. What can be said about it that it doesn't already say?

As you all know, I visit many different kinds of churches almost daily. Each and every visit is for one reason. Someone has died. Someone's Mother/Father/Daughter/Son/Sister or Brother. When you are faced with death every day, you tend to see life a little differently. I am there to help the living cope with the loss of a loved one. It makes no difference to me what anyone believes about the Here After. We are all here for just a short while. And we should make the most of what we are given. If we get a hundred seconds or a hundred years, we touch the lives around us in so many ways. If you truly want to leave the world a better place for your children, then perhaps we should all start getting along a little better. And start COEXISTing.

If you've stuck with me through this rant, Thank You! and I'd love to read your opinions.

Feel free to comment on other peoples comments as well.

And EVERYONE'S opinions are welcome, because that's how we are here on the 

Brighter Side.
