RELIGION or POLITICS - the Religious side!!

Hi anybody, Please excuse, I had a couple days off and could not get to put a blog together. BUT,

As anyone knows, I am an avid listener to Glenn Beck, and it is quite possible we are looking at the white Martin Luther King. Well Martin Luther rallied for Freedom and Equality for all. I am sure progress has been made in America since his demise in racism, however, the most recent administration in Washington is leading the country into Social and Marxism. Sadly, they are using racism to arouse hatred and separation in the masses. Deliberately. They want all people to lose their composure and get violent, so they can be pointed out by the Far Left Accusers, as the ones who are causing all the problems as in, racism, as a cover for their own devious works.

There is a new Black Panther movement that is actively practicing hate and scare tactics at polling places, as in their plans for future elections. They scream hate for all crackers, kill all of them, kill babies. Sure, this will arouse many of us in the unfairness and especially the hatred factor. They want to generate the worst in us.

Glenn Beck is now pointing out the weakness in America, which is the general feeling of apathy, lack of morality, and the "entitlement" mind set that is pervasive in the country. Beck feels that much of this is the lack of strong spiritualism and the moral strength that religion generates in people who practice consist-antly. That, many no longer take RESPONSIBILITY for themselves, their lives, and in their work lives.

I agree with Beck whole heartedly, up to a point. That point being, religions, period. There are so many religions, each with its own view point about God, and the tenets it adheres to. In my opinion, this fact along creates separation in the minds of the different memberships, who think their religion is better than the others.

I am a Nichiren Buddhist, that is no secret. I've been involved in a few different religions, actually being the son of a Presbyterian Minister. But having practiced Nichiren Buddhism for over 12 years, I am the happiest person I have ever been and the most comfortable with the practice, especially their incredible down to earth, humanistic, religious philosophy.

I have long thought that religions are our weakest link. However, I do think that this movement is a great thing to happen and it is going to be activated directly by Glenn Beck as part of his contritubution to wake up America to what is happening and the direction America is being led. Wake up people, before it is too late.  NOT RACIST, NOTE VIOLENT, BUT NO LONGER SILENT.

In my next blog I will discuss my take on religions and its weaknesses, and compare my Buddhism and how it answers peoples spiritual needs best and why.   Cheers      CJ
