the grace of god

2.13: bk.relig/god/the grace of god:
. "the grace of god" refers to
the god influencing our decisions
in a way that is coordinated
so that we cooperate with each other
instead of bumping into each other .
. another form of the god's grace
is by influencing a stream of prophets
which tell us what the god's way is;
so, we all have the same expectations of
life and each other .
. if there is an eternal life,
and if it depends upon following
the will of the god,
then it is by the god's grace,
that one can have eternal life .

#christian Paul started a mystery religion

2.9: bk.relig/christian/Paul started a mystery religion:
. Paul referred to Jesus as "kyrios"
which is the same way of saying "lord"
that the Greeks at that time used for referring to
the dying-rising god of the mystery religions .
. the mystery religions involved a secret ceremony
that united the believer with the dying-rising god
so that likewise the believer might become
divine after death and rise into an eternal life .
. also, even though Peter wanted to
keep gentiles out of christianity
it was Paul who talked him into it
[ Floyd H. Ross and Tynette Hills 1959
The Great Religions By Which Men Live p137].

Jesus' cultural changes

2.7: relig/jc/Jesus' cultural changes:
. Jesus was popular with those who were not wealthy
because the priests were saying
only the rich are blessed by the god
because in order to be blessed by their god
you had to be wealthy enough to
offer sacrifices each year .
. Jesus said even the poor can be blessed
by just remembering the spirit of the law:
love god with all your heart
and love neighbors as you would self .

Islamic respect vs free speech

5.4: web.pol/purges/war/Islamic respect vs free speech:
5.6: summary:
. when I first heard of the #texasattack
it seemed every criticism one cares to make
about the Prophet or his god,
can be expressed without images,
yet here were "free speech" defenders
flouting Islam's preferences .
. then I thought of the unique uses of images,
how they can say things very quickly,
and can be a valuable communications tool .
. freedom of expression is a good
and restrictions should not be taken lightely
as long as the assertions are not false;
so, how can we defend both freedom and Islam?
. there will be a global government soon;
so, which culture should that government enforce?
. instead of demanding integration and tolerance
there should be cities dedicated to each culture
so that Islam can get its respect on its turf,
and people can express their graphic opinions
around those who won't become homicidal about it .
. but is cultural segregation safe and humane?
no culture should be allowed to
keep people against their will;
and no culture should be allowed to
whip, amputate, drug or kill their criminals
unless criminals prefer that to expulsion .
. no culture, including Islam,
should expect universal respect:
there should be cities not devoted to Islam
where free speech includes even images
as long as Islamic cities and networks
are protected from viewing such images .

#ESP is classified

2.4: co.fb#aj/pol/gemini/ESP is classified:
John Greenewald:
Last year, I filed a FOIA request for
information on Extra Sensory Perception (ESP)
to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
After finding records that originated at the CIA,
they forwarded them over for review, and release to me.
After waiting quite some time, the documents were determined as
fully classified and exempt from release.
They denied my request in full .
me:
but google "FOIA remote viewing"
eg, http://www.wanttoknow.info/remoteviewing/remote-viewing
http://onestepbeyond.me/project-scanate-documents-cias-abysmal-foia-process/
hope:
http://www.governmentattic.org/docs/NSA_Tracking_Psychics-Remote-Viewing.pdf
"the CIA has already declassified and released
over 70,000 records on remote viewing".
. but here's
Greenewald asking about "remote viewing":
*brief*
anyway, here's cia's search engine:
http://www.foia.cia.gov/collection/crest-25-year-program-archive
here's a better of way of using that:
google
site:foia.cia.gov remote viewing
eg, (mostly about ufo's but mentions "remote viewing").
