Just Sayin' Its America After All

The protesters are out in force discouraging the development of a mosque near the former twin towers building site. I wonder if there would be this problem if it were anywhere in Europe. Often the U.S. is immature in opinions and beliefs in our progressive but intemperate attitude that we perpetually deny the beliefs and opinions of others. 


Here is an excerpt from The Holy Quran: 

84. Say (O Muhammad ): "We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob) and Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)] and what was given to Musa (Moses), 'Iesa (Jesus) and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one another among them and to Him (Allah) we have submitted (in Islam)."

Or in other words the same God that was worshipped before Jesus and the prophets of receipt of messages from God there after were all of the same God, so it is written. I believe in a God. I have my own personal relationship with God. I would like to further develop this relationship without interference from others indulging their personal beliefs upon me. These personal beliefs are not specific to any one faith. All faiths are welcome in my life. 


Just sayin' to the protesters: you're wasting your time. People that are important are growing tired of intolerance. The mosque should be allowed no matter its location. We may not be Europe but the eyes of the World are upon us. Since we all thrive on consumerism it would be prudent not to be so discouraging when it comes to acceptance of others and their faith and opinions. The backlash could be rather harmful to an already harmed economy. The world watches our news events, I imagine, with eyes rolled and are unconcerned with our rights of self-expression. To salvage embarrassment these other nations may distance themselves from friendships with us. I certainly hope this will be among the last of foolish protests that serve no greater purpose other than to prevent an indigenous documented right of one group of people.

Loose Ends

So I've been gathering up some loose ends. These are years in the making. Laziness hadn't help one bit. Unfortunately for years I stooped to levels unlike me. I let thoughts and things get to me. I was buried under my self perceived stratum. Now I am emerging from my fug in a whole new light and achieving those things I should of accomplished long ago.

• Clothes to send to Thrift: Messy Messy room. Getting rid of the old. 
• Done half the cleaning: the next quater is various statements - the last quater is actual cleaning and repaint
• Red Dwarf: Seen em' all now in consecutive order. Netflix
• Battlestar Galactica: Seen em' all now in consecutive order. Netflix
• Have tuition and books paid for
• Deciding whether to attempt to fill my platter with a CNA course given by the Community College. Maybe get a new job serving a greater good. 

Sure watching old episodes of old television shows doesn't have a whole lot to do with being buried under self depravity but it was about finishing old things in order. Putting things in order. That is what these last 4 months of 2010 will be about. Getting things done that proper way with all my heart in it. Filling my time with study, books and hobbies. All those things I've wanted to do but never allowed myself the financial means, the time or indulgence. 

Next up is to QUIT SMOKING!! 

Well, Not The First

Might be the very first post to my new blog but, hopefully wont be the last. I've not a lot to say at the moment. Just watching Battlestar Galactica "Take the Celestra" episode. Next to the last.
