*I'm not alone nor a loner~
but a spray of heavenly dust
in an epidermal composite.

I laugh less, but know more
cause trouble because I want peace.
I'm neither his, hers or anyone's,
but am deeply involved with many.

I've been selected by the One
who called me without refute, conditions,
or even a promise to be good.

That's why I said yes....>


Happy Birthday if it's yours; never mind if or when it's mine.
I'm alright staying behind the veil of my future which is
eternity.

    John Creasy wrote under ten names and wrote 550 books. I set out to read all of his books, but I got lost. I read most of the Gideon series. Gordon Ash, Jeremy York, and Kyle Hunt are some of his pen names.


    I quit Christianity because I realized that I was acting under the delusion that Jesus was in my heart. I also realized that the Bible was written by men and shows the evolution of some religions, but not the best view of God. Also, God does not dwell in Jesus and God has not stopped revealing Itself. God is not male or female. God encompuses both, but the society which produced the Bible was patriarchal. Thus God was believed to be male.

    Since I have quit being Christian, I am much more understanding of others. I am more in tune with people and see God more clearly. Humanity makes mistakes, but for the most part strives to do good. Not inherently sinful at all. Imperfect, yes; but striving to better themselves which in a sense makes humans 'more than perfect'. Perfection cannot improve. Humanity does improve.

    I do not accept the resurrection, the ascention, and I find no evidence of life after death in a cognitive sense.

    I see God in all things. If God is all present, God is everywhere. The Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Catholic, and Mormon view of God is extremely limited. I am not familiar with enough with other religions to speak of them.

    God encompasses all. Any religion which doesn't recognize this cannot come close to recognizing the truth about God. God is apparent, but not seen without a heart aware of God's greatness.
    God is, and is in the whole of the universe and all its dimensions. God is also in the smallest subatomic particles. God is in all which exists. The battles of one religion over another are really quite immature. Everyone's experience with God is individual and different.

    Jesus studied the religions of his time and went further. He told us to learn from him and to go further. He said we are all children of God. I think we should respect all of creation and certainly all human life. Religion will continue to evolve, if we are open to its improvements and growth. For example: Women are finally beginning to be recognized as beings deserving equal rights. Religion has opposed that, but is adapting to it. Frankly, I think women may be superior to men, but equal rights as much as possible should be our goal for all.

    Anyway, these are some of my views.

    Hello BonBon here.
    On my author's page I made an adjustment to the poem I AM that I have entered in a contest. Would you please take a look and tell me what you think of the adjustment.
    Thanks so much.
