WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT JUDAS?

It really makes me laugh, all the attention that Judas gets this time of year. Poor Judas, portrayed as villain extraordinaire, the great betrayer, the man who sold out Jesus for a few pieces of gold. And, while you know that I am really against worn out Church dogma, let's look at this at face value.

Aside from the fact that ALL of the apostles betrayed and denied Jesus, the real question is, "Why do people continue to betray Jesus?" Clearly, Church history shows out right betrayal of everything the Man taught. From wars, watching genocides, judging everyone about their life styles, to perverting His teachings and lying about the things He taught, so called Christians have committed far worse betrayals than Judas could have even dreamed of. The amassing of great wealth at the expense of the poor, wasting money on useless edifices, the breaking of all of the commandments and essentially throwing out the window the most fundamental teaching, LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, make Judas look like a saint when compared to the actions of the 'flock.' We poison our bodies, those of our children and our minds-not just with real poison, like toxic chemicals, but with attitudes of greed and selfishness. We kill our planet, our animal brethren, and our whole environment for treasures that matter not.

In the halls of government, we are more concerned with deficits than helping the sick, the elderly, the poor and the homeless. Is this what the Master taught you? Is this not a betrayal of all that he stood for? Is picking the pockets of the widows in keeping with the testaments?

So, the next time you are told about the horrible thing that Judas did, who was by the way forgiven, look at your own betrayal, while you still have time to do so.

JESUS, JAPAN and OTHER WORLD DISASTERS

It has been sad to see some religious posts that blame recent disasters in Japan as resulting from some form of punishment from God. How stupid! If there is a God that punishes then it needs to go away-we don't want you here anymore. However, the attribution of human qualities-hate, greed, envy, etc. to a god is pretty ignorant and shows that people simply do not know how to read or interpret holy books-and neither do so called religious leaders.

In Jesus' teachings of the law of Attraction, he clearly laid the responsibility for our reality squarely upon our shoulders. We really need to get off this merry-go-round mentality of trying to blame others or outside forces for our own misgivings. The flip side is that if we created it, we can correct it. If you are dumb enough to build nuclear power plants in the most earthquake prone region of the world, why be surprised when a disaster occurs? If you build your home right on the coast in an area that gets frequent hurricanes, why be surprised when the home is washed away? If you put a trailer in tornado alley....None of these things have anything to do with the wrath of some insane vengeful deity.

Jesus said 'we reap what we sow.' If we sow toxic chemicals in our land, water, air and food, why would you not expect disease, dead birds and fish? If you pour billions of tons of green house gasses into the air, why would you not expect climate change? Feed your children chemicals and wonder why they are autistic? Feed them fat, you get fat kids! Give people power over every aspect of your life and wonder why they exercise that power? Let bankers and corporations walk all over you and wonder why they do? Tell politicians to cut spending and complain when they cut your favorite programs?

None of these things can be laid at the feet of deity. You believe that life is unfair, there is nothing you can do, corporations are too powerful, all politicians are corrupt, and you are helpless. But, believing and it is done unto to you. That which you judge, make a final decision about, is the judgment against you. But it is not punishment, anymore than throwing a stone in the air and it hitting you on the head when it falls is a punishment. You have to get out of the way. You have to understand that there is cause and effect that you have set in motion. "Did I not say ye are gods." Jesus said this and he meant that you are literally a god, with the power to create your own reality.
