Sometimes, ya just gotta laugh

I will admit to taking pleasure at other peoples' stupidity, sometimes. No, I'm not a hypocrite - there is still tolerance involved. I take pleasure because I can see myself - and even people I admire - as doing something similar. As well, should I do something stupid and people take pleasure, well, I'm glad I could help.

On with the show...

I read this today:

"I have never have been worried about the IRS," he said. "They don't scare me. I don't give a rip about the IRS. I don't believe in the separation of church and state and I believe the IRS should stay out of church business."

It is from this article.

I don't think anyone from any part of life should call for the demise of anyone just because their Supreme Being told them to wish it - this goes for Pagans, too! Although, I would not mind the demise of the IRS organization, but that is another story.

What interested me most was his contradiction of himself - if he doesn't believe in the separation of church and state (government), then how can he demand a government agency stay out of his church (business)?

Well, maybe it is just me?

I think I will start that POOF Church - Proud Of Our Faith. Any joiners?

Peace

Hands are tied

Due to my new "career", I have to walk a fine line when it comes to my need for voicing my opinion.

As I drove home yesterday from a business call West of our town, I saw a 3-story-high "marker". It was a model of the 10 Commandments - 2 "tablets" resembling the ones Moses may have brought to his people. One had the Roman numerals 1 - 4 and the other 5 - 10.

I am a big believer in free speech, especially when it comes to voicing faith and beliefs. But, I wondered, why couldn't there be a Star of David, Pentacle, and other religious symbols next to it - of course, the same large size for each.

But, as I finished my drive home, I realized that the only true tolerance is for the Christian faith (although, the Ten Commandments were actually given to the Jews...) to display their symbols and beliefs.

I am determined, however, that for Samhain through Yule and the New Year, I will have a Pentacle of lights glowing in my yard.

Peace

Does this just mean "Shut Up"?

You have a lot to say about everything today and people will listen to you because your words smoothly slip off your tongue with the greatest of ease. If others assume you are speaking the whole truth, however, you could find yourself in trouble. Don't stretch poetic license too far in your favor, for it may not feel so great when it snaps back to reality.

Peace

Things are looking up - but the Pigeons are still flying

I'm thinking the Lammas, being harvest, could have been me harvesting all due me. But, then I think, I've been so thought-ful and attentive to myself and others, why would I be harvesting dramas?

My work is still angst ridden - too much secrecy and ass-hole-ness on the part of my "boss" which is wearing on more than just me at the office.

However, I am doing my job and very well, at that. And, although I have not been paid all due to me, I am getting paid most.

I am slowly working on a new template. I apologize for the flat, dry, no-life image.

One final note:

Thou craven dizzy-eyed clack-dish!

How Psychic Are You?

It is mornings like today's that I wonder how to fine tune my premonitions.

Sadness, fear, tragic loss were on my mind all day Wednesday.
Lammas should not bring such feelings.
Abundance and celebration were lost to tears and anxiety.

May the travel down the River Styx be comforting and calm to the Lost Souls.

Peace.
