Question Answered

In reference to my previous post where I speak about my concern that pagan ritual has been wrapped up in Christian belief to make it acceptable to many more people. I was recently reading a paper that pointed out that Adam being the first man was given the word of God and he taught it to his posterity and when they began to go astray and formed their own religions they took aspects of what they had been taught and incorporated them. Though they had perverted the word and did atrocious things in the name of their religion the basic core beliefs came from a much earlier time in history. Thus an explanation of why so many  cultures and religions have similar stories, they all came from one original source. Perhaps the observances that people get in a dither over because they come from a pagan source need to be looked at more closely. Where did the pagans get them from?

It Isn't Education!

I have a friend that is a teacher. He just got his contract and it was, to say the least, horrifyingly useless. He then said something about the legislature of his state and their attitude toward education. He said he felt that they see education as some kind of socialist agenda. I thought about making a post but did not want to create such a debate in that particular forum. Perhaps I should have. Let me address the issue here and share my thoughts. Education is NOT on the socialist agenda. That would defeat their purpose. The public school system on the other hand IS on the socialist agenda. Public schools are nothing more than training centers for future workers. Their service shall be to the state and the elite running it. Therefore, it is in their best interest that children receive the most minimum amount of education possible. Through so called laws they have managed to do just that. Making it impossible for teachers to teach and children to learn. Nonsense, some will say. Un...

New Blog - ZionQuest

In a previous post not too long ago I said I would be starting a new blog. This I have done. It is ZionQuest for all of those seeking to know of Zion. I had a friend suggest I start a newsletter and I felt it would be good to start with a blog and go from there. I could turn into a community with forums and all. I am hoping on this blog to share what I know and in turn be able to have others share what they know. In this way we can all increase our knowledge and understanding of the principles and subject which is Zion. http://zionquest.blogspot.com

Politics and Religion

Many people choose to avoid the subjects of politics and religion. Others try to keep them separate. The problem with that is that they often go hand in hand and sometimes are one and the same. Religion is a set of professed beliefs that are ones lifestyle. The tenets of the religion govern the lives of those involved in it. Politics does the same thing. Government should be preserving the individual rights, liberties, and freedoms of people to live their religion.  Religion should also be preserving the rights, freedoms, and liberties of the people that they may be the best they can be, so they may continue to learn and grow as individuals and still be able to contribute to a community, if they so desire. Amazingly, whether we profess one or not, everybody has a religion. Even politics can become a religion to some. To try and keep them separate in our lives is nigh unto impossible. They both do the same things in our lives. It is best they be in agreement.
