Back to religion

Religion, as we understand the term, has badly taken a two thousand year detour.  So badly that we have lost its real essence.  In practise, there shouldn't be any religious laws or rules to adhere to; but yet that is what people have developed out of it.  We should be free to choose what to believe, to be critical of one another; but yet in some religions we are punished or cause upset and distress.  Religion is supposed to centre itself upon knowing God; yet its history has shown how the human has abused it for political, social and economical purposes.

Religion has monumentally gone wrong.

Greenfly, all too greenfly

I am in two minds in whether I should blog a thought that occurred to me the other day.  A part of me feels like it is too intimate for the 'electronic community', but the other part of me of says hey, what the heck.

So I will take the latter attitude and suspend my care for the time being.

As I sat by my desk I noticed a tiny green fly crawling around on it.  Although it seemed to be walking randomly and to no purpose, taking a turn here and there while pausing briefly in between, it was obvious that it was moving toward a general direction - to the edge of my desk.  Of course, where else would it go?  Only, I had a pile of book seated flush at 90 degrees at this exact corner the green fly was heading.  I immediately stopped what I was doing and watched it attentively.
