This is a rather sarcastic creed by the english journalist Steve Turner - very funny

Creed
by Steve Turner

We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin

We believe everything is OK

as long as you don't hurt anyone

to the best of your definition of hurt,

and to the best of your knowledge.

We believe in sex before, during, and

after marriage.

We believe in the therapy of sin.

We believe that adultery is fun.

We believe that sodomy’s OK.

We believe that taboos are taboo.

We believe that everything's getting better

despite evidence to the contrary.

The evidence must be investigated

And you can prove anything with evidence.

We believe there's something in horoscopes

UFO's and bent spoons.

Jesus was a good man just like Buddha,

Mohammed, and ourselves.

He was a good moral teacher though we think

His good morals were bad.

We believe that all religions are basically the same-

at least the one that we read was.

They all believe in love and goodness.

They only differ on matters of creation,

sin, heaven, hell, God, and salvation.

We believe that after death comes the Nothing

Because when you ask the dead what happens

they say nothing.

If death is not the end, if the dead have lied, then its

compulsory heaven for all

excepting perhaps

Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Kahn

We believe in Masters and Johnson

What's selected is average.

What's average is normal.

What's normal is good.

We believe in total disarmament.

We believe there are direct links between warfare and

bloodshed.

Americans should beat their guns into tractors .

And the Russians would be sure to follow.

We believe that man is essentially good.

It's only his behavior that lets him down.

This is the fault of society.

Society is the fault of conditions.

Conditions are the fault of society.

We believe that each man must find the truth that

is right for him.

Reality will adapt accordingly.

The universe will readjust.

History will alter.

We believe that there is no absolute truth

excepting the truth

that there is no absolute truth.

We believe in the rejection of creeds,

And the flowering of individual thought.

If chance be

the Father of all flesh,

disaster is his rainbow in the sky

and when you hear:

State of Emergency!

Sniper Kills Ten!

Troops on Rampage!

Whites go Looting!

Bomb Blasts School!

It is but the sound of man

worshipping his maker.

Steve Turner, (English journalist), "Creed," his satirical poem on the modern mind. Taken from Ravi Zacharias’ book Can Man live Without God? Pages 42-44

Pursuits

I havent updated this for ages, but I now will...at last.
To whom ever is reading this ... hi.

Listen to this:

Happiness (fragment)

Ever again to breath pure happiness,
The happiness our mother gave us, boys?
To smile at nothings, needing no cares?
Have we not laughed too often since with joy?

-war poet Wilfred Owen

How far will we chase the happiness of this world, how far shall we leave that simple happiness we had as children?
The more we seek selfishly and soley after the happiness the world offers, that happiness of simply being happy no matter the consequence, the futher down the road we go towards ultimate selfishness as a society.

We can chase happiness all our lives, but what this world will never give us (although it tries) is meaning. And meaning is what this rough reality demands of our souls.

One thing I have learned- there is no meaning to be found within me, or within you. Humans are NOT the answer to the worlds problems. Yes we have our liberal solutions, but look carefully at these and very often they will produce a greater problem to the one it tried to solve.

...there is no such thing as absolute freedom, its a contradiction in terms, just as there is no such thing as free love. It is the nature of Love to bind itself.
... "I do." = love. Love = commitment.

Ravi Zacherias.

Be carefull in what you pursue of life, be carefull you don't take things for granted with out examining its roots, and it's fruits.
