Today I awoke with angst.

I went to a Course on Miracles. My Teacher suggested that

I attend in order to meet intelligent souls.

She advised me that when I attend, that I should not speak

up because it may affect how I was perceived.

I was told to say that I was interested in the Illuminati if

I were asked what my interests were.

I attended a class prior. At that meeting I only

spoke to read the book of text or ask some

general questions, otherwise remaining silent.

Today I was greeted by the question of how I was doing.

I said that I mourned the loss of George Carlin.

The response was that he did not die really.

I accepted that. I asked if they saw William Kristol

saying that if Obama seems to be the most likely

to be chosen the next President, Bush will bomb Iran.

And if McCain seemed more likely, he would not.

The response I received was that it is meaningless.

I said that good and evil is not meaningless.

I was told that I was in a church and it is not their

purpose to talk politics.

I said I am not a Republican, Democrat, or other

supporter of any party.

Then I asked if he cared that a million Iraqis were

murdered in an unjust war.

I asked if he knew what the two words" depleted

uranium" meant.  He said something to do with

nuclear power. I asked him to Google the words.

He said he did not own a computer and it does not

matter anyway!

He said it was whatever God wished.

I was upset by this time, and told him that I must be

in the wrong church!

I told him God bless you as I left the premises.

I am glad I chose not to greet the pastor with the

Carlinist "FUCK BUSH". Therefore,  I feel as if I was

quite cautious in my speech.

Would Martin Luther King Junior have been deemed

a trouble maker for not accepting evil and hate by

this church?

I was going to suggest a less preachy name for the

group, such as  The Course on Miracles, the smart

alternative., or The  Course on Miracles, a roadmap

to serenity and sanity.

Now I would be more inclined to say that they are

acceptors of evil and blind to suffering and death.

I wish them well, but I believe that I have a purpose in

life, and that it is not to accept, or condone evil and power.

Amen!
