There is no need for a helmet for the fall that is coming will never end.
It Follows You

Every time you leave the room
You take your shadow with you.
Remember your memories
They have already forgotten you.
You can ask me anything.
If I know the answer it will be easy.
If I don’t know the answer it will be easier.

The Mighty Plan Part 3

I now see the infinite wisdom here.
God made us in his image and likeness
So we are told.
Angels are white and robed in gold
There are demons and that’s for sure.
Tempting us toward an unholy path
To steal your heart.
Man questioned how he might tell them apart
So he made one red, and another black.
Colors of hair and eyes and some stand tall
Now you can see.
The faces that belong here with thee
But what for the blind that cannot know
The wisdom of the lord from above?
To save them too.
Languages were created no one knew
It is so simple as to be part of my face
We just need a color-guided human race.
How thoughtful to make it so well known
Good and evil separated by the color shown
Your enemy is also made in his image.
And feels exactly the same way you do
Love conquers all.
As another peaceful day begins to fall
The Mighty Plan Part 2

From my Roman Catholic upbringing I think about religion a lot. I went to Catholic schools and attended church every Sunday, school days and holidays. I was an altar boy for years when we used Latin in our responses. I do not say we spoke it…. and dreamed of being a brother or priest. My favorite saint was Saint Francis of Assisi. He was considered to be somewhat of an outsider, but that was fine by me!
I couldn’t help myself. Looking around things just didn’t add up.
God is all knowing. God is kind and honest and good.
God sees all. God created the heavens and earth.
God knows what has been and what will be.
God is kind and gentle and loving.
WE are made in his image. WE shall rule the earth.
WE are the center of the universe
The earth fixed on its pillars does not move.
The sun and stars race across the sky for our entertainment.
The bible is presented as ‘the word of God’. Why would an
All-knowing being reference geocentric views that will be
disproven in a few short millennia? Is this God’s Mighty plan?
You might deflect by saying that god works in mysterious ways. Maybe.
It could be argued that these references are simplified stories to tell his children.
Sure.
But this is more than a point of view. Humans with little science and mathematics could not possibly know this to be true.
God would know if he made it. This would be one more in a long line of seemingly unbelievable tenants of faith. And when humanity achieved the technology sufficient to the task we would be affirmed in our beliefs. Instead, we see time after time the references in the bible and other teachings directly contradicting science. This is but one of many errors religious teachings present as fact.
The bible and counterparts were clearly not written by god or from his hand.
Was this the Mighty Plan? Does't this seem a little odd? Let me help you understand There never was a god.
Democrat’s Biggest Problem

The biggest problem many Democrats have is that they listen to every word Donald Trump says.
The biggest problem many Republicans have is they don’t.
Dangerous times

Years ago we would have conversations with our daughters about sex, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and the rest. My wife would say, ‘back in our day we did not have to worry about dying from having sex’.
Now, with COVID-19 leading the pack, I can remember a time when we did not have to worry about dying from shaking hands……..
