You would think it would be a hard sell given the fact that the real estate mogul and
reality star has boasted about his extramarital affairs, profited off casinos and strip clubs, said he doesn't need to ask God for forgiveness, called for targeting innocent civilians in
war, mocked a reporter with a disability, threatened the
religious liberty
of minority groups in the U.S., and gained wide support among white nationalists for consistently lying about and demeaning blacks, Mexican immigrants, Muslims, and Syrian refugees.
A few acknowledge that the contest is most importantly about religion, but then go on to trivialize that
reality by saying we are at
war with all forms
of «fundamentalism,» including the «
religious right» in this country.
well just thinking about these
wars in the muslim / mid-east world over
religious differences (which may reflect mental states in many ways) in a world where most realize that living in the present moment is best way to happiness and being in the moment in non-strife and awareness through the teachings
of masters such as found in the buddhist, taoist, zen, etc., etc., etc. spriritually based practices
of religious like thought and teachings, etc. that to ask these scientifically educated populace whom have access to vast amounts
of knowledges and understandings on the internet, etc. to believe in past beliefs that perhaps gave basis and inspiration to that which followed — but is not the end all
of all times or knowledges — and is thus — non self - sustaining in a belief that does not encompass growth
of knowledge and understanding
of all truths and being as it is or could be — is to not respect the intelligence and minds and personage
of even themselves — not to be disrespected nor disrespectful in any way — only to point out that perhaps too much is asked to put others into the cloak
of blind faith and adherance to the past that disregards the
realities of the present and the potential
of the future... so you try to live in the past — and destroy your present and your future — where is the intelligence in that — and why do people continually fear monger or allow to be fear — mongered into this destructive vision
of the future based upon the past?
Though the populations
of today's world are afflicted with anguish and fearfulness about the ever - pressing
reality of war, starvation, political upheaval,
religious intolerance, global warming and more, we must celebrate the good.
