The Surface ~ God Is Too Big For One Religion
Prompted to write this while watching the contradictions in New Years Celebrations – millions spent on fire displays and festivities around the globe, only to start the new year with innocent children and their families, trembling and dying, bombed and killed in their own homes – what a happy new year for them…the face of a young girl that will stay imprinted in my mind for a long time to come…..tears are not enough…...where is the sanity in this world….when will this madness stop?..

News headlines on Sunday 4-1-09 tell us that…
On Saturday, around 10,000 people rallied in London’s Trafalgar Square demanding an end to the military action. Gordon Brown says we need to work harder for a ceasefire…and despite the US Security Council, having discussed the latest developments, the US will not back a demand for an immediate truce….…..
...meanwhile over a million people are stuck in a 25 mile strip of land with supplies, medicine and water running out fast…

Hi Ya Suzanne. I feel what you mean. This is The BEST I CAN DO to DESCRIBE WHY
Cheers I think there is a God / Creator and Souls do get replemished at their end. Those who go in such circumstances get speacial attention I would assume. ( and HOPE ) x
Suzanne German replied

maya….what on earth is to be done? i mean when is it going to end?...
if these atrocities have, at their basis, the name of God(s)...what / who ever s/he it/they may be, then surely it’s gotta be time to see some sense in the craziness of mixing religion and war…nothing good has ever come of it – nothing ever will!

I have visited Israel many years ago – at a time where there was peace …even if only for a moment … the morning a day before we departed to fly back home a busbomb exploded – I heard it detonate about 400m away from where we stayed … sometimes reality pulls us in more closely than other times …
Suzanne German replied
that would have been a very scary experience maya – imagine what innocent and unsuspecting people go through all around the world when one minute they are walking , sitting, sleeping whatever alone or with their family, friends or loved ones, and then all of a sudden it’s all over – just like that – no say in it – and they are gone! it’s gone on for far too long….there is no such thing as a winnable war – one death – means we have lost – doesn’t matter which _side- they are on.
call me naive – whatever – i don’t care – but it’s time we all see that we need to be on one side – the side of humanity! and stop hiding behind deities!!

re-read my reply to maya above….i know there’s a lot more involved than religion, there are major countries who have a lot to answer for…setting a lot of things in motion decades ago…and continuing to go above international laws and human rights…and how is it ever going to stop?
