I know more people without a Facebook page than with these days. I haven't had one for around 8 months. Facebook is sort of becoming "uncool" not because of spying but because people are realizing nobody cares what restaraunt you are at. Twitter is fun. Random quips and funnies by lots of annonimous people and little to no what "aunt so and so" is doing. It's kind of the cool kids table.
Wow. It is not everyday that you run into a person who thinks the same way you do. Granted I know there are many people out there with the same views; but their voices are not always that strong. The media is definitely mostly to blame in so many of these stories and has total control over which stories are heard or not heard which is sad. It is 1 of the reasons why I do not watch the news much anymore because it is limited, biased, and just too much for me these days. I understand the world is not the happiest of places and their is much horror that goes on behind closed doors or right out in the open without anything being done about it; but I don't need to turn on the TV to realize what's going on. Thank you for writing I enjoy reading/transcribing your posts!
I know. I look up the news everyday (online) and the misinformation is disturbing. There have been a few 'good' stories - factual ones - but they are few and far between.

Eleven of the disciples Jesus chose to spread his message misunderstood the central tenets of His teaching. They were obsessed with the physical world of the senses. They continued to practise religious animal sacrifice, which pleased the lower gods but did not help to foster a connection with the true God. They wrongly taught that those martyred in the name of Christ would be bodily resurrected. In contrast, Jesus is able to teach Judas the true meaning of his life, ministry and death. Mankind can be divided into two races, or groups. Those who are furnished with the immortal soul, like Judas, can come to know the God within and enter the imperishable realm when they die. Those who belong to the same generation of the other eleven disciples cannot enter the realm of God and will die both spiritually and physically at the end of their lives. As practices that are intertwined with the physical world, animal sacrifice and a communion ceremony centered around cannibalism (the symbolic consumption of Jesus' flesh and blood) are condemned as abhorrent. Death is seen not as a glorious event but simply as a way to escape the perishable realm of the flesh. Of crucial importance is the author's understanding of Jesus' death. The other Gospels argue that Jesus had to die in order to atone for the sins of humanity. The author of Judas claims this sort of substitutionary justice pleases the lower gods and angels. The true God is gracious and thus does not demand any sacrifice. In the Gospel of Judas, Jesus's death is simply a final way for him to leave the realm of the flesh and return to the luminous cloud.
