God Why or better yet, why not? I'm not so sure that I see the problem with or without.  To believe or not to believe would seem to be the question. To believe in a higher power or nothing exists. The arrogance on both sides is somewhat shocking. I'm not sure what is so offensive about not believing in God. Or even more surprising what could possibly be offensive about a belief in God. I decided a couple of years ago to come to my own conclusion. for this discussion my own conclusion is obsolete though something deep inside me was affected when I made a choice. I don't live differently; I don't do things because of a belief in or not in God. There is a fundamental responsibility we have to society, not to God.  God is a personal responsibility. Society is a group responsibility. At this point I can say with absolute confidence that God is a reality, whether God exists or not, God is a reality according to mans actions. If God created man we have and continue to let God down. If man created God I don't know what to say. If this is the case we have failed at a beautiful concept. Failed ourselves at the grandest idea or maybe idea of all. A concept of beauty, a concept of strength, a concept of compassion we seem to rape even the idea of such wonderful ideals. For man to act as he or she does in the name of God is a travesty. Not to rely on the beauty or better yet the action of God in a grand scheme of life is a breach of our devotion. To kill in your own name, to kill because you hate so deeply there is nothing more you can do. To take on the responsibility of another persons life or death. This is what it comes down to. The difference between a hit man and a person that feels so deeply, so passionately they must kill to end the pain, to protect, to vindicate the truth. Ones own truth; these are possible excuses to take a life. I don't mean to state this lightly, though I do feel there are people in this world that do not deserve the gift at life. I believe in passion and protection. I also believe in defense. The defense at ones own rights or rights or rights of the people that surround them. To the point of murder? Yes, though I can only pray that the murder is with the right intent, the intent of truth. Not truth because of a book or teachings. The truth of terror, the truth of fear. There is an ultimate end and this is it. And in a society, callous from excess and exposure this can not be taken lightly. The glamour and power connected with the act of killing is everywhere. Imagine if this excitement was a reality within your life. If you wake up fighting the way much of the world does. If each day was a battle, not on the freeways of the Unites States but in the caves of Afghanistan. I am somewhat of an ultra patriot; I believe I come from the greatest country that has inhabited this planet. But, I must say that we as Americans do not understand what the rest of the world deals with. We live in excess; we live in a land where dreams can come true. People come thinking the road is clear. There is tremendous opportunity. Work and focus seem to be the mixture of success. It amazed me that people come to the US expecting success or even better that people come, live, experience all that this country has to offer, and want to do nothing more than tear it down, to attack It with their own lives, their own ideals, prove their devotion to once again, Their GOD. All I can say is, Fuck your God and fuck you! If God is your excuse to attack A land of beauty, a land of love, a land of devotion and resolve. A land that wades threw the darkness, looking for a higher cause, looking and fighting for truth. Than you and your God have no place within my heart. I know America is not perfect though in my life time I have come to the conclusion that to die for my country, to die trying to help this planet in all of its splendor would be truly worthy. To the person that reads this and feels anger in their heart understand that I feel the same though our ideals may be different, though our passion may abide by different rules. You to can bleed, you to can hate, and above all you to can Love. Maybe some day I will help you up from the ground, or you will help me find my way threw this beautiful though painful life.........I Hope So, I truly hope so
