Tell me. What do you fear most?
Spiders? Maggots? Heights? Peanut butter on the roof of you mouth? Fire? Water? Dogs?
Love? Hate? Loneliness? Lust? Death? Life?
Darker skin? Homosexuals? Iraquies? Muslims? Arabs? Hindus? Christians?
Tell me. Do you fear what is different from everything you know? Tell me. Do you fear what is in the shadows of your light?
Fear. Fear is true evil. There is nothing to fear but fear itself, is that not true? People tell me money is the root of all evil. No, that is truly wrong. Fear. Fear is what creates greed, hate, and utter soulessness. After all, why do people hate others who are different from them? Because. They are outside the simple box a person grew up in. Wars, in the name of religion are going on as I type this. Genocide is happening in Africa. Because of hate. So much hate. Caused by fear. Fear.... Tell me. Why do people believe us to go to hell my friends? Simply because we do not believe in a god that is different from theirs? Well. I think I know why. We think, speak, and act differently. We tell them our beliefs, and are evil. But are we any better? Tell me. Do you hate them for hating us? Do you fear them? I'm scared. I'm scared that those who dont think like me will make me hate them as much as they despise me.

My fear, is going upside down. Sarah knows this well. ((Daddy! Daddy! You can have all my cds if I die!!! Daddyyyy!!!)) I dont fear dying. I dont fear breaking my legs. Heights, spiders, maggots ((though they do make me want to puke)), peanut butter, water, and fire dont scare me. But when I get on a rollercoaster that goes upside down I freak. I also fear zombies. They scare the living s**t out of me. Vampires and werewolves are always welcome in my house though xD But that is beside the point. I dont fear many people. Only when their eyes tell me to... But. I seem to grow angry, when I start talking about certain aspects of the Bible. And how many interpret them. Does that mean I hate these people? Goddess I hope not. Part of me tells me I do. Then part of me says no. I dont hate them. I just get overwhelmed with everything I hear.

You know, this girl attempted convert me the other day. She begged me not to get mad. How could I? I laughed a little, and told her I was well aware of why she felt I should convert. But I didnt see the how the points that she was making could be possibly be true. After all, if everyone that didnt believe in Jesus Christ was going to Hell. Then Ghandi would be one of those people. She told me Ghandi knew full well what choice he was making when he chose to remain who he was, and that he chose to go to hell. Tell me. Does a man, who gave hope to a whole country, and who advocated the power of words over the power of weaopons. Just as Jesus Christ did. "Live by the sword, die by the sword." So, a man who follows the word of Jesus Christ, but puts his faith into another God is going to hell? How is that so. Explain it to me, without saying, "Because he is not Christian." Or "Because he isnt Muslim." Or "Because he isnt Jewish." Tell me. Whom did he kill? Whom did he rape? Who did he commit adultry with? Who did beat? What did he do? Why do you need to fear him? Answer this. Answer this. And I will believe you.

Fear... Hate. And greed. Remember those wars I was telling you about? Well look at this:
Where The Roses Are Not A Lie
Genocide in Africa we havent even heard about on the news.Look it up. I dare you. Its truly frightening. Instead, we are hearing about another fear filled war. The one in Iraq. I've heard so many people tell me to bomb all the Iraquies. All of the muslim asses. How insipid, bigoted, and.... and... Gah! I cant even describe it. Why do we have to kill so many people? Why promote the hatred of Iraquies? Of any one? I cant stand it...
//Where the Roses are not a Lie//
Genocide. Homicide. Suicide. All of it is because of fear. Fear of what is different. What is in the shadows of another person's light... So, why not explore the shadows right? Learn of what you might come to fear, embrace it. Learn to except it all, and make it your own light. Instead of fearing the darkness, fearing the shadows, fear only fear
.....
So I'm done for now... My mind is kind of giving out on me. I'll probably edit this post later. Not like it matters or anything. Any way. I hope my words mean something to some one else other then me, and that maybe they help some one... Heh. Good luck with that ^.^
