Who Hijacked Reality / #643 Why I continue to speak out…

Journal Entry #643

April 18th, 2012

My personal belief on god is this and I have said it many different times in many different ways. “ I don’t know”.

Truly this should be the answer for all and to pretend that you do know and have special access to the all knowing and then act on a set of rules  from this all knowing  entity is simply insane but many do engage in this insanity.

I will focus on a discussion I had with a person who started a group called “Born Again” from India. It seems that India and Africa is where Christianity is growing unchecked and completely unbalanced and this is where it becomes dangerous.

I will let the discussion speak for itself as it will be my best evidence for those I believe are thinking clearly to see what I am presenting. The righteous mind is a dangerous mind.

I will post the link to their page where they have amassed big numbers and continue to grow.

9,230 members…

https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/bornign

Born Again page on Face Book.

Now the person I am talking with is the founder of this group and actually invited me to join as they said so they could save me from my atheism and show all what devil atheism truly is. I like to play in the lions den and not preach to the choir so I accepted.

My original post and I even took out the swearing for them;

Gary David Currie

 I don’t know why but I get so mad and frustrated at how we treat each other but I do. There is no need for any of the terrible things we do to each other. I get so disgusted at humanity. We sit back and do nothing while so many suffer. What a pathetic species we are because we know better and do nothing. We continually hurt those we love and
ignore those we care nothing for.

We squabble over politics, religion and money, we engage in pathetic drama and self pity when all we have to do is just treat each other good and all this will not matter.

I am so frustrated…….Our apathy will be our undoing……

Jawahar Peter ……….when people deny their creator they become curse to other fellow humans. but they never repent of their atheism.

Classic line

Gary David Currie……….. Nice attitude. Sad for a god to be this way. By the way sounds like I care about humanity more than you do as you only care about your god. I am a human being first so quit with all this atheist labeling. There are no sides here. I actually thought you cared about your fellow man.

Jawahar Peter ….by acting kind hearted atheist, you create so many other atheists like you who can’t team up JESUS lovers. so many Islamic terrorists don’t allow Christian aid workers to reach fellow humans. u American atheists by your foolish ideology deny JESUS love on cross and resurrection to encourage Russian atheist leaders
to support Muslim terrorists.

Jawahar Peter … instead of criticising genuine love of JESUS and genuine Born again believers you can 1. believe in Lord Jesus and be Born Again 2. help us to criticise false infiltrated Satan agents like Benny Hinn Todd Bently who like parasites eat Christian aid money. then i can agree u are real human with kind heart ,until that time u are a hypocrite justifying your atheism which indirectly creating suffering for starvation deaths in Africa and elsewhere.

Gary David Currie……Jawahar Peter you know nothing about me. Ask Bappa Mukherjee who I am. I am not even American…You condemn me so easily..

Jawahar Peter  …you are not yet Born Again, that’s for sure. John2:25 JESUS did not need anyone to testify about man, for Jesus knew what was in man. it doesn’t matter u are American or not. you are human atheist denying Gods love on the cross thus dead in sin and are deceived by Satan. I pity u more than those starving in skin and bones. Many Born Agains were persecuted with hunger and perished in flesh but they are rich in Spirit. But u deny spirit and I pity u. but my prayer is u must be Born Again and be
our brother and co worker of Lord Jesus Holy Spirit to eradicate/minimise human suffering. if u don’t join Gods plans get delayed.

Gary David Currie….. See wrong again I did that years ago. Too many assumptions my friend..You think you are so righteous in you preaching and condemning others if you are what it means to be a Christian no thanks…

Jawahar Peter  …… Gary I could be wrong, its possible i am self righteous. but why don’t you become better than me by accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour and then help so many starving people? Why you wanted to remain as a branded atheist and still wanted to appear good/righteous to others by posting about starvation deaths and thus appear as” LAST prostitutes and tax collectors and atheists are better than FIRST Pharisees and scribes “

Derek William Helberg …..Jawahar, have you not let the Spirit of our Lord guide you? Paul clearly writes in 1 Corintians 5: 11-13 for us not to judge those outside of
christianity. Matthew 10:14 and Mark 6: 11 tells us to dust off our shoes and walk away from those who do not welcome you, or listen to your words.

Gary David Currie  ….. Jawahar Peter you branded me an atheist as if it is some sort of disease. You cannot change me as I cannot change you so accept me where I am and see the good in me as I try to with you. Remember you asked me into this group I did not ask to join. I am a human being first and foremost and when it comes to Jesus or god my answer is simple ” I don’t know”. If you think you know then good for you but stop acting like the devil you think I am and telling me how right you are and how wrong I am. To be honest I am more like Jesus then you have ever shown you are.. Just stop all this judging nonsense.

Jawahar Peter…… you yourself told that you were an atheist. But Jesus paid the price on the cross or atheists also. I was also a foolish atheist for some time in my life. But I
confessed my sin and accepted Jesus as my Lord.

Jawahar Peter ….. its true Gary I invited you, so that me an ex-atheist can help a friend to come out of atheism. if u don’t like me or this group u are welcome to unjoin the group.

Gary David Currie …. Yes I am an atheist but only because I have no good reason to believe in god but that is my choice.. Like I said I concentrate on the good in someone not what you disagree with. Jawahar Peter you called me the devil and labeled me evil. What right do you have to do this. I fight for the rights of all every day. I look for the good in all and I champion the truth so how does this make me the devil.

Who are you to judge me? Leave this to your god and he and I will take care of our business… Like I said you know very little about me.

Gary David Currie…… If you don’t like me in this group you are welcome to delete me. Who do you think you are telling me that you are right and I am wrong? Let god do this not you…You job is not his job..

Gary David Currie…. By the way you missed the entire message of my post here in the beginning…So what does this say about you. Is this not common ground for us to work from?

Jawahar Peter…….. JESUS alone can be our common ground. We must be Born again. let the dead bury their starving dead but we must raise the spiritual dead atheists back to life with resurrection power

Jawahar Peter ….my privilege being Born Again is I am Gods co-worker and I am His child.

Jawahar Peter…. me missing your message is of not much importance compared to you missing JESUS.

and this says it all

Jawahar Peter …those who sit back and don’t worry about the suffering of Lord Jesus on the cross are of more cruel in heart than those who do lip service for African starving deaths.

Gary David Currie …. Actually I am professing the message of Jesus and you don’t even see it which is the sad part. The only thing we disagree on is the supernatural stuff. You are so wrapped up in your beliefs you cannot see beyond them in any way..

Jawahar Peter….. u believe a pseudo-Jesus ,not Born of Virgin, not suffered on cross and hence not resurrected. being an atheist for now you have all the beliefs of new age, Hindu, Islam, Buddhist assumptions. but to be our friend You must consider the Jesus who suffered on cross for your , mine and all humanity sin and rose again from
death. without that foundation your claim to further Jesus message is invalid.

Gary David Currie… sorry that you friendship requires I bow to your ways. I give my friendship for other reasons.. Really sad what you profess my friend and not Christ like at all..

Jawahar Peter ….apart from Christ all reasons are meaningless and temporary. we are eternal beings ,should talk eternal things. JESUS said we must be Born Again. why don’t u be more Christ like than me by being Born Again?

Gary David Currie….  Again you assume so much. I did this long ago when I was young. I have been baptized and according to the faith once done I am set for life. Also I know far more about your faith than you do I just chose to met others where they are at like Jesus would. You really are so wrapped up in what you believe you cannot see anything anyone else says. That is sad to me. This is what is wrong with Christianity today everything you are professing Jawahar Peter.. Very sad

This person is so deep in the chosen fantasy, so deluded that they cannot for a second even step outside of it to even listen to hear another. This is truly dangerous especially if they get a little power and influence behind them. This will lead to tragic consequences.

And this is an example of why I speak out to thwart the danger as best I can before it has tragic consequences. This is why we all must speak out.

Who Hijacked Reality / #638 Starting Over…..

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

Journal Entry #638

February 17th, 2012

Life is full of ups and downs and often things happen to us beyond our control that require us to basically start over. This certainly can be terrifying especially if we have lost things, relationships or anything else we valued. While this is incredibly stressful it may be necessary as events have been building up that must be addressed.

You would be surprised how often this happens to people, we re-invent ourselves, we come through a tragedy or we just need a major change in our lives. I think this is vital to our survival and advancement as a species and as individuals, stagnate life’s breed apathy.

In essence we find out what we are made off, what we are capable off when we no longer are in a position to just wait for things to happen. Will it bring out the best in us or will we crumble under the pressure?

I find myself in such a position and while terrifying at times it certainly springs one into action. I have driven across the country (Canada) to get a fresh start. I will tell you waking up in a new town with no place to live, no job and responsibilities of a child to take care of will definitely put one into action.

This is where we also see what others are made of, will the people we meet be kind and help us? Society is set up based on your worth as a credit number and when all that is taken away people don’t know how to view you. Many think you are a failure and that if you have had to walk away from things in life that your value as a human being is diminished. The value of a man’s word is all we really have in the end and one just hopes that people can see this as the truly important thing.

I have also found that this basically in one form or another happens to us all but we forget this when things are good. This is where empathy towards others should be strong remembering how we needed that help when we were vulnerable.

I have no idea where life will take me, all I know is who I am and all that goes with this. I will say that the kindness of others has so far been noticed as this is what I had hoped for. If people are willing to look beyond the circumstances and see the human being behind them the world would be better off.

It is the fear of the unknown that scares us each moment we are afraid and this is a powerful motivator if used properly. If one realizes what they do know as the foundation to tackle the unknown then I can see amazing things happening.

As I sit here in a home where I am staying that my oldest son set up until we got settled I am reminded of the possibilities of this moment to start over while being afraid at the same time. One hopes that luck will prevail and that balance in the universe will swing ones way. Where I have moved to is breathtaking in its beauty. I look out the window and see the mountains close by and a new town full of possibilities. As I do this the reasons I am here continue to plague me as I hope that the loss that put all of this into action will somehow be found. My emotions are in full gear right now in so many directions and trying to balance them out is as hard as starting over in fact it is all part of the process.

I must concentrate on what I do have the ones who are there and the skills I have developed over my lifetime to start over. I am not the only one starting over in this situation and to see how my sons have handled themselves during this process has been amazing. I am always worried for them as they are my responsibility and the ones I of course love so I want the very best for them. Right now the best is to learn how to go through this, to develop a skill set that will serve them well in life. All I am experiencing they are as well. So I am fortunate to know that I am not alone in this as well as those who have offered support from a distance. In the end though I am the one responsible for what will happen and I can never forget this. The burden and the triumph will be mine to claim as it will be for my sons and anyone who rises above their station in life.

One must take an attitude of us against the world and hope that the world will not be cruel.

Who Hijacked Reality / #613 The more I talk with people the more I find what we have in common.

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

 

 

Journal Entry #613

November 10th, 2011

I have been actively involved in promoting my agenda with the main goal being positive respectful discussion around the globe and I want to pause and offer a few thoughts on the results of this.

We seem to each have our own answers to the big questions you know the ones that define us and direct our life’s, the ones that influence our daily decisions and at times these answers seem worlds apart.

1. What can I know?

2. Why am I here?

3. What am I?

4 How should I behave?

5. What is to come of me?

 

The more I talk the more I find out one thing, one very important thing. Once we get past all the posturing and bravado we have more in common then we think. I have learned to read between the lines and to listen to the intent behind the words and actions as this reveals who we truly are;

We are all afraid. Behind the anger, righteousness, declarations, avoidance and attitudes we basically want the same things. We want to be loved, to love and to never be alone. We want peace but we just don’t know how to get there and most of us are lost.

We strike out at others to show how brave we are be it through words or deeds and we strive to find our way in this world. We don’t want o be alone in the dark. Once I can get past the facade we all put on to mask this fear I see that if given the choice we will choose kindness over hate, empathy over apathy and peace over violence but we just don’t know how to express it.

I see we all have a story that is ripe with struggles and all the ingredients that make life worth living and we all want to share this with someone but many are uncertain how to do this so we embrace whatever we can grab on to that will bring us out of the dark and into the light.  

I hope one day we see what we have in common and that we conquer our inability to face our fears, that we find the goodness in ourselves for when we do this we will express this in how we see others.

Doesn’t matter if I am right or you are right on any matter if we are not listening to each other now does it? If we strip away our egos we will start to feel what others feel and this is when we truly change, we truly grow and find the meaning to our lives we all so desperately seek.

I cannot change anyone nor do I want to and in some this fear will dominate their life’s so much they will kill for it, lie for it and die for it. The more I talk the more my fears subside as once we face those fears we have nothing left to fight about.

FACE YOU FEAR…

 

We need your participation, I am asking all to share this video for “What’s Your Story” to help us to get to those who want to be in our video.

Who Hijacked Reality / #593 This is Who We Are.

Journal Entry #593

October 16th, 2011

As long as one person is allowed to suffer in this manner then we have failed as a species. To recognize the suffering in not only ourselves but in others and do nothing about it is a mark of a species on decline. We are capable of understanding, we are capable of solutions we are capable to act but we don’t. Yes there are those who do act but it as a species we do not and this is will be our downfall, maybe not immediately but this is what must change.

What could be more important than providing the basics of life to all?

What could be more important than the safety of all?

Nothing should be.

As long as those we allow to be in power (and have no illusion power is given and powers is taken away) to not solve the basic problems in this world for humanity then we need new leadership. There is no excuse for people to starve if we have the resources to prevent it. There is no excuse for people to die of preventable disease if we can do something about it.

As long as we allow;

Greed

Religion

Power

Abuse

Excess

Ignorance

Apathy

To get in the way of empathy and the rights of all humans then we are nothing more than the worst of us. There is no excuse, not one you can think of that will justify this, not one.

We will be known for turning our heads and walking away when we should be running to help. We all need to give up something; anything to help another and our leaders must show us the way. If they do not it is time for new leaders.

I know most of you don’t want to hear this or even care but this will be the bottom line for humanity. This will define who we are. One day we will be seen by others who will look at this moment in time as an example of what or what not to do.

The solution is as simple as we want it to be…
