“The Worlds Religions Versus Le-way”
Over the years I have taken it upon myself to study the worlds religions and learn as much about them as I can. I have come to the conclusion that they are all as valid as any other and tend to agree with those who believe that God has and will continue to send messengers on His behalf to offer new and different insights into His character.
I find it interesting the way that many religions (especially the monotheistic ones) seem to have evolved over time by making small (although often significant) changes to the earlier ones. It seems as though God has sent prophet after prophet into the world only to find He must send another to correct the errors of those who came before the most current one.
Among the earliest of the great mono-theistic religions was Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism is well known to have had a great deal of influence on many of the worlds religions, including Judaism and Christianity. It’s almost ironic that Zoroastrians (of which there remain a few) have long believed that a messiah will be born to a virgin much like what Christianity is based on. Some scholars have even proposed that the Three Wise Men were actually Zoroastrian priests based on the direction from which they came.
I also find it interesting what Zoroastrianism has to say about Heaven and Hell. According to it’s teachings God will judge people based on the number of good deeds they have tallied compared to how many bad deeds they are responsible for. A person who has managed more good deeds than bad ones will go to Heaven while those who fair otherwise will be condemned to Hell. They even believe in a place like Purgatory where those who have committed the same number of good deeds as bad will take residence (if only for a time).
This is clearly a simplistic approach to justice which other religions would ultimately do better to address. Christianity offered us an entirely different means of salvation. Jesus based it on a persons faith in Him which is no more fair, if not even further from the truth than Zoroastrianism. Along came Islam and Submission to God which made a little more sense (as a path to salvation) but still based a persons salvation on what they do or do not believe. The Bah’ai Faith and a number of other religions attempted to unify the worlds religions by suggesting that it didn’t matter what religion a person belongs to but only that they follow the path God has prepared for them.
The problem with all of these religions is that none of them allow a person to have a relationship with God without following certain moral expectations (or, at least, attempting to). According to Le-way, the way to go to Heaven is to surrender the knowledge of good and evil which can be accomplished in as many ways as there are to be sincere. The difference is that Le-way condemns no one to hell but provides liberty and justice for all in a place I call Utopia (also called The Land of Oz). Those who have yet to turn their will and their lives over to the care of God will not experience the fires of hell but rather Perfect On-going Justice, Actual Free-will and a Permanent 2nd Chance (to surrender the Knowledge of Good and Evil and go to Heaven). I call it the right to be a fool or not to be.

History--
It's a funny thing, you know that saying;
"Everything old is New again"
In my earlier life, I was a student of Archaeo-Astronomy..that is the study of ancient cultures use of Astronomy. With the evidence becoming over-whelming, I soon began to understand that MOST ANCIENT CULTURES had a celebration for the "return" of the Sun. Agriculture was the major driving force for humans for the last 10,000 years..
..everything depended on the harvest. Whether we survived or perished depended on the food supply. We were dependent upon knowing when to plant and when to pluck.
Here's a glimpse:

Lets start with how we arrive at Easter every year, with thanks to the Astronomical Society of Southern Australia;

This means that this year is possibly the earliest Easter in quite awhile
Next we have the work of Pope Gregory working to fix the bugs so Easter stays with us in the Spring

Eoestre-Teutonic Goddess of Spring..here on Earth or "Midgard" hers is the form of a hare or "bunny"
Early celebrations started putting small feasting treats in "white" metal (tin) hammered into the form of a rabbit.

Understand, I'm just acknowledging the notion that our modern celebrations have deep roots and that recognizing them in each other as something common as opposed to something to fight about could help us all on this planet. It's about time to start thinking of this place(Earth) as "together".
I had a dream that disturbed me a little bit the other day. It involved the return of the evil one and his intentions to fool the world all over again. He referred to himself, not as the anti-Christ, but as the 2nd coming of Christ instead. The world would never be the same.
I saw His mother going into labor as a great flood jeopardized her and her childs well being. She ran as fast as she could to escape the waters spewing from the mouth of God (in an attempt to overtake her) until she found refuge in a tree and watched as the flood raged beneath her.
A helicopter from America came to her rescue and pulled her and her child to safety. They were taken to a nearby desert where God allowed her and her son to live out their destiny. She died in a few years as the result of her lifestyle and lack of medical attention in the area. He went on to answer His calling.
The beast seemed to have all the answers but relied on misleading concepts to fool his followers. He attempted to proclaim his righteousness in the name of God as if God wasn’t fair. He knew what He was doing and almost seemed to believe it. The world fell to His feet.
A great war like there has never been before, along with global warming, disease and starvation wiped out nearly a third of the worlds population. It was the greatest catastrophe the world has ever seen. Those who were left made due the best they could and lived in relative peace for nearly a thousand years.
By this time the world had to make a decision. Was the teachings of this madman the truth or were things as they are according to Le-way? Most people had enough sense to discern the teachings of this man over mine to determine which was best. In any case there was no changing the truth for what it is and there was liberty and justice for all just like there should be according to Le-way.
I should point out that this was only a dream. This is not necessarily an account of things to come but merely a possibility. According to Le-way there will be liberty and justice for us all in the Land of Oz (which I prefer to call Utopia). So shall it be according to Le-way. There will be liberty and justice for all. Amen.
“Justice”
We need not fear the wrath of God for it is no worse than what any man deserves or would warrant upon another. God is as reasonable as we are and wishes hell upon no one other than as a temporary state that succumbs to the natural laws of Perfect On-going Justice as prescribed by Le-way. No one deserves to go to hell forever, although some of us may deserve to stay longer than others. Forever should be based on forever and not a human lifetime for the reason I mentioned before: God is as reasonable as we are. It makes no sense to condemn a man to hell for who he’s been if it’s not who he’ll become. What’s fair is fair and will always remain so.
The knowledge of good and evil supplies us with the right to be a fool which God acknowledges as just that; our human right. Actual Free-will is something none of us have experienced or could imagine but, ironically, it’s what we’ve been fighting for since the fall of man. Someday we will all know what it means to control our own destinies without having to fight with ourselves or, more accurately, with the demons inside us.
According to Le-way there will be liberty and justice for all who avoid death in the form of Nirvana or Paradise. Those of us who surrender the knowledge of good and evil will become at one with God and serve Him in a manner similar to how our arms and legs do us. They will have essentially died to themselves, forever giving up the right to be a fool and be who they choose. Some say that only those who go to Heaven will live forever, I tell you it is just the opposite.
The Land of Oz (or Utopia), as I like to call it, will provide all the necessary requirements that are needed to set us free. Everyone will get what they deserve, whether it be good or bad, and no one will suffer anymore or for any longer than they ought to. We will even be free to do away with the knowledge of good and evil and join those already in Heaven or Paradise who have done so previously. This is the promise of Le-way and should mean more to you than what any other religion is capable of offering you.
Let us pray.
We meditate on the transcendental Glory of the Deity Supreme, who is inside the heart of the Earth, inside the life of the sky, and inside the soul of the Heaven. May He stimulate and illuminate our minds.
Lead us from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. May we be protected together. May we be nourished together. May we work together with great vigor. May our study be enlightening. May no obstacle arise between us.
May the Senators strive constantly to serve the welfare of the world, performing their duties with the welfare of others always in mind, because by devotion to selfless work one attains the supreme goal of life. May they work carefully and wisely, guided by compassion and without thought for themselves.
United your resolve, united your hearts, may your spirits be as one, that you may long dwell in unity and concord.
Peace, peace, peace be unto all.
Lord, we ask You to comfort the family of former First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson.
Amen.
Is that any reason to have protesters? What the hell is wrong with these people?
