| 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 "f*ck 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! |
