But Beyond That

  I will tell you that I cannot keep track of all the phobias. I call them that, even though many of these same type of problems are also called, isms? They all suggest the same thing, an unhealthy fear? The fact that there is no room for an unhealthy fear in anyone's life, is from God's point of view. You see to Him, the only fear you should have is of Him! Anything else is a lie and isn't worthy of your time. But let's leave God's opinion out of this shall we, and let's concentrate on you, and what it is that you believe instead.
  So, let's lump all of those unhealthy fears together, and label them all as some kind of phobia, it seems logical to me. We have sexual phobias, political phobias, bullying phobias, we got a lotta phobias! But lets take the most important of all phobias, because this one can kill you! Muslim extremist phobia! Why are we so afraid to call it what it is? What is the reason why you fear it? How has it come to be that we can no longer call out an enemy? One that, and make no mistake about it, wants you dead or alive! To fear naming your enemy, you only empower him, pretending that he is not the threat that might someday cost you your life! I would be perfectly happy if I was wrong about this, and I continue to look for that moderate Cleric who can point to scriptural references in the Koran that disputes what these maniacs are selling, but still I hear none? Could it be that these fundamentalist Muslim Clerics are right? Why else would good people of faith remain silent when extremists steal your beloved faith and cause it to look so bad? I truly feel sorry for these people, because I know that most are peace loving people.
  But there is an evil that looks to engulf the world, there is no longer any section of the planet that has not yet been touched by events brought about by those who would do evil.
   Being somewhat of a religious zealot myself, I understand fully what these suicide bombers do. And here's a strange twist, I admire them for it? Because if the shoe was on the other foot, and I believed that Jesus wanted me to blow myself up, my only concern would be, where to go to get an explosive vest? But I can see no reason for me blowing myself up anytime soon? Because my God doesn't work like that. Jesus doesn't want to kill you if you don't believe in him? In fact, all he wants to do is save you from all of this! But also to save you from yourself. And therein lies the problem? Because for many of you, are of the opinion, that you would say to Jesus if you could meet him on the street, Hey Pal, I am in no need for anyone to save me from anything! I'm doing quite well on my own thank you. So ah, thanks, but no thanks.
