the zeitgeist -
it reminds me of a book I read in the seventh grade -written by
Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451 - the temperature in which by means of the heat from fire will burn books -or paper... this book has stayed in my mind ever since, I was 13 years of age... the science fiction book
I see more reality from, now more than ever.
this is from ray bradbury why he wrote Fahrenheit 451 - http://www.raybradbury.com/images/vi...hire_blvd.html

I see the reality of this book now in the world we reside in -
it is the network -the internet...
in Fahrenheit 451 the fireman's - wife in the book is so
taken in by this -she is not in touch with reality, her husband on the other hand is a fireman -who set homes ablaze that contained books that the government called -illegal... especially the bible -because it is the word
of God - Hitler had book burning ceremonies.

this is where my faith see's a difference.
I believe in GOD, to me GOD is not religion -religion is man made.

GOD is real to me -
religion is doctrine, as a child I was taught religion -catholic.
looked it up for my own clarity = caterva : crowd, troop, flock.
catervatim : in troops, in masses

what my theology teacher said about the word at its root -is latin and it means universal, that was not exactly what it meant??

it I do not believe in,
RELIGION at all.
I hate pomp and the pharisee, who blow horns and shout look at me -I am great, I have wealth -I have power, look how much money I give to the church...
this I could absolutely not believe in.

thank you for telling me about zeitgeist,
I still read alot, and TV/ cablevision/ I was not able to afford for the last almost 2 years...

and it was very good that I have been poor, because I started hating the news I kept hearing the words said over and over, made me sooooooooooo nervous- I turned it off.

I could plug in my tv, and with old fashion rabbit ears/ antenna I could see
almost 3 channels, one was news, one was tele-evangelist...

and the third was such a bad connection I never could watch it or hear it.

what an education I have had by being poor,
I see more clearly now, than I did...
I am happier with life and more thankful for the people I love.

luv,
