h8rs n the name of Less Than Three

love can bring out the worst in us.
I look at the simple symbol we use in text, <3 for="" less="" love.="" p="" than="" three="">and hating is that, isn't it?  exclusion of the other in the name of God?

If God and I are one, and I can hate you and exclude you from my experience, perhaps I am operating with less than the Love intended to experience on earth.  Duality is never just you and me, us and them.  Its always trinity when Beliefs are integrated in the design by one or the other.

Trinity <3 because="" i="">U is the truth, except when its not.

Don't be a h8r, don't deny someone else's liberty to say I<3u a="" and="" at="" because="" brought="" but="" cannot="" certainly="" conflict="" don="" earth="" even="" find="" for="" girl="" god="" hard="" has="" home.="" how="" human="" i="" if="" igh="" imagine="" in="" intended="" just="" least="" look="" love="" magine="" marry="" may="" me.="" me="" much="" my="" nbsp="" no="" not="" on="" one="" only="" or="" own="" p="" parents="" plan="" planet="" relationship="" rong.="" s="" say="" sexual="" strife="" t="" that="" the="" their="" think="" to="" together="" true="" ts="" understand="" want="" was="" what="" who="" you="">
Searching for the right one God sent for me, doesn't mean accepting what I think it means, it means accepting what is God's plan, and that may be undefined according to man.

Just thoughts as we explore this notion of what Christianity is and is not.

Don't hate, love and accept.  Start there, I'm sure we'll get it.  One relationship at a time.

Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back . . .

Oh, America
...
Oh, "Christian" America
...
Why can't we learn
things the first time?

And, just as the white church did in the 1960s, the church -- black and white -- are leading the way now. Leading the way of intolerance, of inequality, of prejudice, of denial of ourselves ... because as Jesus said, "that which you do to the least of these, you do to me." And, all across America the Church denied people's right to be married -- whether civilly or under God. Shame on you.

But, we know the church's foundation is Peter, the head denier of them all . . . and thus, we inherit the denial of truth in the foundations and structures of our churches. When WILL the rooster sound for the final time?

Do you REALLY think that Jesus would be opposed to two people joining in love and commitment? I realize that YOU may have a problem with it ... but do you think Jesus would?

If you say yes, I venture you are trying to justify ignoring his lessons of tolerance, acceptance of other's and their individual journeys without judgment. If you can give me one lesson of his that supports your prejudice and denial of equal rights to any other person for any reason, PLEASE, give it to me. I challenge you ... no old testament stuff, no letter from Paul ... Jesus, his lessons ... show it to me. And, if you can't, PLEASE look in the mirror and ask yourself, "why can I not just follow him? Why do I have to look for justification for my denial of equality to another human being?"

And, while you are at it, tell me why the two amazing girls in this blog are denied their right to have a family, equally, under the law?

Less than 40 years ago, it was the church who said that my marriage to my husband is an abomination to God . . . here, I sit with the truth. And, the source of that lie is the source of the one you voted for on 5 November 2008.

There is no way to say this is good. No way to say this is Godly. No way to say that "Jesus led me here." Unless you live in the world of crafted and created in the lies of prejudice.

peace & harmony,
elaine
