Oh sorry I didnt' even answer spiritawakening... Well, my political family, taught it to me this way.. If you see a homeless hungry man would you rather give him a fish, or teach him how to fish so he learns to fish for the rest of his life? If you would rather give it to him, then you are a democrat. If you would rather teach it to him, then you are republican. But in todays society, if you think PETA sucks then you're a republican, and if you're for gay rights your a democrat. Either way if you're a republican you are an evil Christian lunatic who hides in his basement planning evil schemes on how to keep marijuana from being legal. Or you are George Bush, and you always will be George Bush, because you're a republican. A Christian Mystic is someone who instead of believes in God, dedicates their life as a physical journey with Christ. and by the way, we've got a book on marijuana. http://www.amazon.com/Marihuana-Burning-Mysticism-Cannabis-Experience/dp/0967105609 I'm going to try and get a copy for my husband, when I told him a lot of mystics smoked pot he got really excited.
I agree with you on the teaching a person to fish instead of giving them a fish. The problem i see is that if you say im a republican, theirs a crap load of other ideals that are automatically yours that im sure you wouldn't agree with. I dont think your problem is us bitching at you, it would be republicans bitching at you for being a hippie leftist. Just think about the titles you define yourself with carefully. it also depedns what type of republican you are
Well, there are George Bush and those types of Republicans and then there are what Republicans used to be and how Ron Paul is... Totally different....
I despise Republicans on principle (Ron Paul seems cool tho.. and old Abe Lincoln) but being a Christian Mystic is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact I think that is way more hip than most religions, just by adding the "mystic" part. Especially if you are involved with Gnosticism.. That is where it's at as far as Christianity goes, I believe... The Orthodox Church monopolized it and almost drove the Gnostics out of existence. I think if there is a Satan, he probably controls the Catholic Church. I mean what part of "thou shalt not kill" did they not understand? How do they explain the Crusades & the Inquisition??? Fuck the Church and their hypocrisy!
Lol, I think the average Christian church ignores a lot of the facts and books taken from the Bible, this is a better way to learn about reincarnation, evolution, metaphysics, ect. I don't real know too much about Ron Paul.. I should pay more attention I just haven't had time. But yea, the killings were pretty screwed up but you really have to remember, religion is power. People will use religion to back them up anyway I can and use it to their advantage. That doesn't really make them Christians, just liars. From a Christian mystic perspective, all killing is wrong. doesn't matter. it's wrong.
On paper Republicans sound great especially their original doctrins but lately these NEO-CONS are a real burden. Ron Paul is the only person i know that embodies the original meaning of republican. Christian Mysticism is pretty cool, way much more truer in my opinion then modern christianity
