Deified Man or God?

Posted on Sep 4th, 2006 by John D : Dominant Muse John D
What I am about to proclaim, masses of men are not ready for, but the message remains the same:  there is a significant difference between deified humanity and God.  The world's religions have been created, shaped, modified, and destroyed based on varying beliefs in personifications of God.  We refuse to accept the notion that God is conceptual, an ideal, and, alone, represents perfection, excellence, omnipotence, and omniscience.  Once the religions of the world understand the difference between deified man and God, we will become more tolerant and more prepared to seek global peace.

With the language, geographic, and cultural differences varying so greatly around the globe, there will never be one religion consisting of one faith, one belief system, one culture, or one common goal; however, oneness may be attained by a common belief in God - the essence of perfect goodness.  For ages, the nations and people of the world have been, literally, up in arms over the name of God, the face of God, the Word of God, and the will of God when all God wants us to do is to inspire one another with love.


No longer shall the religions of the world preach and teach intolerance, as intolerance of other persons and their beliefs lead to discord.  Whether we believe in God as force or as an idea, as a thinking wonder or not, as the Creator or as a concept - God is good.  Regardless of our language, background, or personal beliefs, God represents the perfection and excellence that we all have access to.  God is love, beauty, hope, peace, and joy.  It is a contradiction to the meaning and purpose of God to fight over a name.  We may or may not acknowledge and thank all of the world's deified humanity, but we must remember the true meaning of God.

Whatever Happened to Censorship?

Posted on Sep 14th, 2006 by John D : Dominant Muse John D
We must no longer wonder why children are using profanity as common language today; it is apparent that censorship has dissipated and, in many instances, has disappeared. On the radio, television, computer, and in books and magazines, profanity is commonplace. Adults are no longer the only persons who are resorting to vulgar expletives and behavior, but today’s children have joined in. Profanity is common language in the mindsets of many. The inevitable question remains – Whatever Happened to Censorship?

Profane language, also known as cursing and swearing, is no longer shunned, but in countless circles of our modern society, profanity is encouraged. In homes, businesses, and schools across the country, children are using offensive and profane language as everyday speech. Profane language is rude, vulgar, unattractive, and impolite – it is negative. Although children are using profanity, there is hope for today and tomorrow. All leaders have a responsibility to effectively lead and a charge to teach that profanity is no longer commonplace.

Our response to profanity shall become: No more! No longer must children be allowed to use language that offends and demeans. No longer must we turn our heads to the words and phrases that are the epitome of verbal ugliness. We were created to be poetry, beautiful beings. As beautiful beings, we must no longer tolerate profanity. We must no longer use or permit others to offend us with profanity. It is ugly to be profane. We must showcase beauty in our communiqué. We must discourage the use of profanity; we must censor ourselves.
