Ideology Note

                                                    
                                                          
 However based in empathy and love, any ideology
its adherents insist is superior, is the one which
must be followed, and yet which promotes the      
extermination of those who prefer to believe         
otherwise, is not an ideology that will lead    
to a heaven or any other goodly place.  It is,    
rather, an ideology which is itself already in   
a hell; and is, as such, a danger to humanity.
                                                 
Warning: Do not generalize what I have written.
As you know, there are ideologies within ideol-   
ogies; and it is usually the least embracing of   
these which are the most dangerous.  We humans   
being as we are: too tight, too loose, certain  
one moment, uncertain the next: it's not likely
we will anytime soon attain a state of joyance
with each other.  Wish I had better news.

God's Evolution

                                                    
                                                           
It is a matter of Faith that a Supreme Being exists.
It is a matter of simple observations/ Evolution is.
There is no wall between belief in God  & Evolution.
The Supreme Being I believe in is a    Triune Being.
Three of this Being's attributes are:               
Love          Creativity               Enlightenment
Love engenders Creativity; Creativity/ Enlightenment
Love which creates, and then goes away, is not Love.
The Supreme Being I believe in is constantly active.

This planet we humans inhabit/ is somewhat roundish.
This planet we humans inhabit/ orbits a medium star.
This planet we humans inhabit/ plans to redesign us.

When the Supreme Being's Second Person was among us,
one of the parables shared/ was that of the talents.
That parable enjoins each human to seek and to grow.
That parable enjoins each human to love and to hope.
Why?  Because each human's a partner in the ongoing.
The future is enfolding at us with increasing speed.
Homo sapiens is but an infant, a dot of what's next.
Those who do not participate in an equitable future?
There is only so much each can do, but each must do.
Because no one is perfect, all fail; some fail less.
Each human was also enjoined to:   "love your enemy"
when the Supreme Being's Second Person was among us.
Beware of religions and sciences that otherwise ply.
Wholing and holying wonders are each day found.  Ah!
