COMMUNITY
(COME-IN-UNITY)

When I share my ideas, I get a lot of hate. I never had so much opposite to the positive things I plan. I get the most pessimistic and destructive criticism one can imagine. People immediately respond with a negative comment or reason why my ideas will fail.

None detract me. I know that anything worth having is worth fighting for and one cannot fight without opponents or haters. Especially in one of the fields in which I intend to build community. I intend to build a community that works together to accomplish the foundation of its existence: Help those who need help and make the world a better place to live.

No-one is against my ultimate goal, only the IDEA of said community. I've had one person tell me that I have a better chance at winning a billion dollar lottery than I do building the community I want to build. My response, "I disagree. As a matter of fact, I believe my community will raise a billion dollars collectively, before any lottery builds to a billion dollars." Of course that notion was smirked at. How can my community raise money if it will never be, right?

I like my haters, they are like air to my fire. I need them to burn. The more there are the bigger and brighter I become. What I find to be so sad is what people have accepted in comparison to what they reject. We live in a world that is able to be comfortable filled with nuclear arms and other weapons of mass destruction. A world that finds it acceptable to execute, not only adults for committing heinous crimes; but some places execute children also. A world that has become used to death. Excusing the killing of suspected criminals by the arm that is supposed to just investigate the crime and arrest suspected criminals.

Somehow it is acceptable to shoot and kill people with cell phones, then continue living as though the loss of life does not affect you. Humanity has found it acceptable to kill animals for purposes other than nourishment or protection. Even animals do not live like that. We live in a world that has found homosexuality to not only be acceptable and tolerated, but it is just as acceptable and tolerable to discriminate against them and ridicule them as though they were less than human beings simply because we disagree with how they live.

I live in the United States of America. It is said to be the land of opportunity. It is, but your chances of success are only great if you advance the current culture: violence, sex, degradation, and greed. All of my haters and detractors subscribe in whole or in part to all or at least one of the above mentioned practises. The majority of my detractors also subscribe to a particular belief or faith in religion, be it Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc... Some of my haters are agnostic or outright Atheist. They all share one thing in common; all are willing to accept the way life is today and disbelieve in the power of change...until it happens, as it ALWAYS does.

I myself, at one time, believed the same way as my haters. At one time or another, I subscribed to most of the beliefs they do. I grew up Catholic. My family converted to Baptist. I later became agnostic and began studying Buddhism. That led me to Wicka, which led me to Islam. (Today I consider myself to be Mathematically Spiritual). It is because of my own study and experience that I understand why no-one has practised the essence of their faiths and become one community; as all these faiths teach anyway. The reason is because the ways of the messengers are taught in theory, the ways of the messengers are not to be practicable or attainable.

My friends and associates of different faiths all get along well with each other. That is, until religious battles occur. During times of peace each person is still Muslim, Christian, Jew, Jehovah's Witness, etc... War only comes when one attempts to show why their path to righteousness is the right and only way to salvation. I ask, "why not come together in peace and NEVER discuss why or how one is better than the other." I am not trying to destroy competitive spirit in people, I am just trying to limit the teams. GOD V. SATAN. Why be good people separated, when we can be godly people together?

One of my life goals that is hated on, is to build such a community. A church (so to speak), that is all denominations and at the same time no denomination. All the work by all the different religions are great, they all do good work in the world all around the world. Just think how much more productive they could be if working together. If people can accept and adapt to a world in which one can contract a deadly disease by doing the most natural of functions; if people can accept being guided in everyday life by UNGODLY men/women, surely the world can adapt to a GOD-LOVING people sharing ideas, pooling resources, and striving together to better the world as instructed by the GOD of each one's understanding.

I know this community can be a reality. If Jesus, Muhammed, Moses, Buddha, Abraham, etc... If all ALLAH'S messengers were here today at the same time, you can bet your money on two things: 1. They would all be disgusted with the state of the world today and the way all the religions treat each other. They would do what they could to help and change the world. 2. They would understand they could do more TOGETHER than separately. All the above messengers share one profound commonality; they all wanted for their BROTHER what they wanted for themselves.

I have a clear vision of how to build this community. I know I will succeed, because I have a plan. I have seen it done before, and we are talking about GOD LOVING HUMAN BEINGS. I know I will succeed in all my endeavours. I know what is needed and what is not. I am surprised that it has taken so long to build it to the size I see it. I wish I had more support. I should not have to fight Satan and other God-fearing folks at the same time. Nevertheless, work towards unity. Time is coming where it is going to be one of the most important aspects of life as we know it.

PEACE
