Our children need guidance and grace for integrity to regain a foothold . “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.

Why do people of religion flock to the unknown? Hmmmm?? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37735875 This has nothing to do with religion my friend. This is grace from your soul, hopefully you have one. I believe in no religion, I believe in the truth, however its found! These words move me from within, honestly make me dream of joy and eternal peace.

(OP) User ID: 48601660 United States 02/27/2014 02:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lol. I was not trying to say conspiracy theories relate to religion. I was just saying most people of religion enjoy the unknown. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37735875 The song Amazing grace makes me think of the unknown. I am not religious either. God to me = a unknown invisible made-up entity that people praise. God is a twisty windy road that takes everything you have to stay on, its yourself , you and everything that has taken a million years to make you. God is within, untether yourself from that voice in your head that talks nonstop and realize you are not it, you are grace that sweet sound. This is a test, an adventure , enjoy it and perfect your deoxyribonucleic state. One epiphany can reclaim it all. “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37735875 OP is crazy.. To belittle another stems from an inferiority, fear usually, not having answers and mad at those who attempt to amswer. I have no real answers just what I believe , but I was once lost and now very content, so I attempt to help others that may find peace along the road I found. “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

Take your eyes off the fools, lest you forget the innocent, yearning souls of your helpless children. They have no one but you, the mother, but you arenot forever.
