Why Isn't Ugly Christian An Oxymoron?

Why do so many women on the Christians right seem angry and unhappy? Is it because they are? Is it because angry Christians have embraced the rhetoric of division, hate, and ethnic and moral superiority instead of the love for humanity The Christ showed? Shouldn't a professed love for Jesus Christ and the tenets of Christianity be a balm for anger, hate, ugliness,and unhappiness? Inside the church, we witness professed Christian heads bowed in saintly reverence to God and Jesus Christ. And we see eyes and hands raised to the heavens for the same reasons. Inside the church they seem... Read more →

Experimental Children In Eve's Garden

It wasn't an obvious thing for me to consider, but the thought was persistent. Perhaps that was the best God could do at the time. I don't remember when I first received this Impression or how many times I received it before it became part of what I knew and understood. Early on it annoyed me; for any implication that God could can be insufficient and less than an infallible God was more that I believed I could safely entertain. Besides, I was ambivalent about the source. When I chose to assert divine revelation, I experienced too much anxiety to... Read more →

Have Demonic Forces Infiltrated The Republican Party?

The Republican party and its Super-PAC cohorts have spent millions convincing its poor working class and working middle class minions that Democrats are against building wealth. They have spent millions more making them believe that what gets in the way of their own wealth building is President Obama's desire to take money from the rich and give it to lazy liberals. Most conveniently ignore the fact that as many poor and needy conservatives among the poor working class and working middle class in red state and blue states alike receive government assistance as do poor and needy liberals among the...

Real Christian Men Do Not Justify Rape, Slavery, And Sexual violence Against Women.

Americans, especially those claiming to be Christians, should be outraged that America's military leaders along with conservative politicians and pundits try to justify or ignore rape and other sexual violence against women in the military. Some men choose to ignore or try to justify any rape and military rape in the time of peace or war, slavery for any reason, pre-emptive war for economics reasons, and the rape of young girls by high school athletics. That these same men also can claim to be moral christians is a testament to the warped sensibilities and absurdities of the human male's mind... Read more →

When Men Write History Women Are Accessory Companions.

Following a glass or two of wine, my friend raised an interesting question. "About that Garden of Eden Story," she said, "at the creation of our birthing kind, which would a Rational Intelligent Being create first; one who could birth or one who could not? You don't have to answer", she cautioned, "because in reality, in this Patriarchal world, it really doesn't matter , does it? Because that's what happens when men write history--especially when history masquerades as religion, or worse, masquerades as the word of God!" Nevertheless, it was an interesting question, not the same as but not far... Read more →

Men, Not God, Get Angry When We Question Religious Rules And Beliefs.

Some of the readers of Savior Women In Eve's Garden apparently are under the impression that I have not read The Bible. Or, if I have read it, that I did not read with understanding or did not read the right chapters. They apparently believe that if I had done these things that I wouldn't raise the questions this blog sometimes raises about God, religion, The Bible, and the anti-Christian behaviors of those who claim to love and follow the teaching of Jesus Christ. Of course, I have no way of knowing whether or not this is the reason for... Read more →

Freeing Energy Is The Sixth Reward of God's Gift of Symbiotic Grace

God's Gift of Freeing Energy is the sixth reward of Symbiotic Grace. Its attendant Simple Reality is Simple Reality 12: "I must manifest and take pleasure in living a life that turns away from lies and deceit and instead embraces the Godlike Purity of truth and integrity." God reserves the gift of Freeing Energy for souls in mortal flesh who abhor lies and deceit and who, instead, manifest and take pleasure in a morality based on truth and integrity. Savior Women, the best representatives of Eve's Beautiful Daughters, join all members of God's Leigion of Symbionts who revel in the... Read more →

Are Humans God's Best Design Or Just The Best God Could Do At The Time?

Is the human species the best God could do? Or are we just Experimental Children who are part of The Experiment in Eve's Garden? We are a species that gave up virgin children to serve as human sacrifices to appease God and gods. We are a species that tortured and murdered our own kind for both punishment and for the entertainment pleasure of a ruling class. Countless times, we have invaded another people, raped mothers, wives, and daughters as the rightful spoils of war and conquest, and slaughtered the citizens of thriving cultures for control of their homeland. We have... Read more →

God, Jesus, Easter Sunday, and The Religion Of Human Sacrifice.

Can I be a good Christian if I don't embrace the belief that Jesus Christ was sent to Earth in human form by His Father, The Creator We Call God, to suffer and die for the sins of man? To be sure, I am a Christian. But I know that this is not an easy question for most Christians. For some Christians it isn't even a safe question. Many, perhaps most, traditional, conservative, fundamentalist, and other stereotypical Christians would say unequivocally that I am not a good Christian if I don't believe Jesus Christ was the final sacrifice for the...

Is Church Necessary For Salvation?

Skeptics of religion, clothed in their own brand of sanctimonious arrogance, sometimes will derisively demand an answer to the question: "Which religion is the best religion?" Advocates of most religions will answer this question without as much as a pause for thought. For most, the answer is "my religion". For others, the answer is "my religion, my denomination, my sect.". And for still others, the answer is, "my religion, my church, my bible study group." But a symbiotic relationship between God and each of Eve's Children is a private relationship that does not require a public officiant to make it... Read more →

The Arrogance Of Religious Superiority And The Insanity Of Religious Intolerance.

Why do the people rage and imagine vain things? Every God-Of-Creation based religion purports to explain the creation of our universe. And each religion define behaviors they believe are dictated by the God of their religion. All God-Of-Creation based religions claim unconditional knowledge of The Creator, by whatever name they call Him, and definitive knowledge of The Creator's laws, regulations, policies, by-laws, and procedures for every human behavior imaginable. Religious laws include, but are not limited to: what to wear and when to wear it; when to dance and where, why, or what dance is forbidden; what to eat, when... Read more →

Does God Think Your Religion Is The Best Religion or Even A Good Religion?

When the immortal souls that define us no longer reside in human flesh, which souls will share the joy of God's Eternal Presence? Which souls will know the comfort of His Eternal Grace and the companionship of other immortal souls in the place some call heaven? This question has confronted us from the moment we first believed in an Eternal God and the possibility that we are eternal souls. Every religion attempts to answer this question of the Eternal-I-Am. If we acknowledge that different religious doctrines both converge and diverge and often conflict one thing is certain; not all of... Read more →

What Is A Good Religion?

Which religions are good religions? If you have ever wondered or haven't learned, be assured that there are in many cultures and in many religions a curious blend of similar stories about creation, the Creator, and The Creator's relationship with human beings. Many cultures have a punishment by flood as well as stories about mortal women giving birth to the sons of gods. The Impression we receive is that every human being will hear Creation's primordial song--at least once. We cannot avoid hearing it. It is a primordial song with a complex melody and a constant refrain. The Impression we... Read more →

The Human Male Is The Best Argument Against Intelligent Design.

I am inclined to believe in a God of Creation but first must admit that the human male is the best argument against Intelligent Design. Nothing about the behavior, psychology, and sensibilities of men in Eve's Garden can lead any rational thinking man or woman to assume that the creation of the male of our species was an intelligent decision--especially if male domination and the violence that accompanied it was a predictable outcome by an Omnipotent God. We can be on one side or the other. Either the belief Christians have that our Creator God is a God of Love... Read more →

The Suicidal Absurdity Of Violence and War In Eve's Garden

Except for tyrants, self-proclaimed demigods, war profiteers, and the corporate bane of humankind that is the military industrial complex, war makes no humanly logical sense. Civil war, even for tyrants and corporate war profiteers in the military industrial complex, makes even less sense because a house divided against itself cannot not long endure or survive. Yet civil war is much more prevalent than any semblance of the global conflict we call world war. This fact alone, though there are numerous others, are clear indications that the human life we claim to value so highly will eventually come to an an... Read more →

We Must Teach, Nurture, And Protect Children Born Of Women

Simple Reality 5 affirms that we must not ignore our young. We must teach, nurture, and protect our children. We cannot abdicate this sacrosanct responsibility. God created all sexual species with the instinct and motivation to care for its young. This drive for sexual species to care for and not to ignore its young is necessary for the success and survival of every species. Though scientists observe the incidence of infanticide in many species-- including humans among mammals, as well as in fish, birds, insects, and amphibians--the killing of young offsprings by mature adults in any species is an abomination...

What Is The Advantage of Intimacy In A Symbiotic Relationship With God?

Not all who claim God share a symbiotic relationship with God. Lacking the intimacy of a symbiotic relationship with God they do not earn their share of the wealth that Symbiotic Grace offers. Still, lest we ignore the obvious, even without symbiotic intimacy, Creation allows us to live and reap the trappings of success even when we do not serve the experimental purpose of our creation. We may reap all the wealth, success, fame, and power from the political and social environments we can earn, borrow, commandeer, or steal. God does not interfere. Nevertheless, if you live a life that... Read more →

A Symbiotic Contract With Our Symbiotic God.

One of the many characteristics of human beings is our obsession with the quid pro quo. What's in it for me? If I do this for you, what will you do for me? Many people want to take the same position with God. "All right, God," some would say. "If I buy into these so-called Simple Realities, what do I have to give up? What's in it for me? It may be a fair question. We can make numerous observations that justify the statement that one does not have to be an obvious intimate of God to be successful, rich,... Read more →

I Can Pray that Kind Of Prayer.

If you have ever wondered if the prayer you offered God was a proper prayer, you are not alone. Many of God's children confess that they sometimes experience skepticism and mild apprehension about their supplications to Him. Sometimes, we struggle with the content of our prayers. Sometimes, we struggle with whether the purpose of our prayers are legitimate. And sometimes we worry that we do not pray to God in a manner that God finds pleasing. Some years ago, during a worship service where I was required to say a prayer, I gave a simple prayer that spoke to God... Read more →

Giving Power To Our Prayers And Our Communion With God.

If Creation has established and sanctioned prayer as a way to talk to Him, worship Him, and to have communion with Him, then it follows that God hears our prayers. God is especially receptive to prayers that ask Him to be the guiding force in our lives. He is especially open to prayers that serve His Will. He will hear our supplications to help better define our relationship with Him. God always hears those who share a symbiotic relationship with Him. Sometimes He is wont to act on His Symbiont's behalf. If He does not, it does not mean that... Read more →

Rules For Keeping Your Prayers Out Of God's Junk Mail File.

We affirm that every one of God's children has a God Given Right to pray to God for any reason. Still, some conditions must be met if we don't want our prayers to end up in a God's slush pile or junk mail file. This is true for all of His children, even His most intimate Symbionts. Fortunately the List is very short. 1. Do not ask God to give you power over another human being's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of a healthy moral happiness. Just as God will not serve as a talisman through which we... Read more →

God Wants You To Be Happy But Will Not Compete With Evil For Your Allegiance.

Real Christians must always be aware that the sources of evil also want the servants of evil to be happy. Theirs, too, is a relationship of faith. If the sources of evil reward behavior that alienate us from God, many people will repeat those behaviors. It is one of the products of the flaw in our human design that too many of God's children fail to overcome. Destructive self-serving thoughts borne of sin and evil intent, and the decadent behavior borne of those thoughts, widen the gulf between us and God. It also moves us closer to earthly beliefs, politics,... Read more →

Will God Answer That Man's Prayer? Does God Hear That Man's Prayer?

The prayer Jesus Christ taught us to pray is very different from the following prayer of a man from the 21st century. Dear God please hear my prayer.Help me be the man I want to be. Strong, defiant, and invincible in the face of other men. Exempt me from the requirements of Christianity they told me I had to possess if I want to be with you: kind, loving, forgiving, humane, and civil towards all men.Take this curse away from me, for it twists me out of shape and distorts my image of myself. It causes my mind to rage... Read more →

Is There Real Power In Prayer

Questions about the power of prayer can create ambivalence even in people of the faith. On the one hand, some believe God answers prayers, but that God answer prayers conditionally; that God does not answer prayers that are not appropriate for the supplicant; and that God will not answer prayers where God's Will demands an outcome that is different from the request of the supplicant. On the other hand, some members of the faith believe that God gave us free will and as a rule does not interfere in our lives outside of special circumstances that require His Influence that...

Does Anyone Hear Prayer

Does anyone hear prayer? Critics are plentiful on both sides of the question. Critics outside "the faith" perceive it as a legitimate question worth repeating. Critics who garner strength and feel protected by "their (my) faith" see the question as nothing short of blasphemy. The question, however, has implications for three supplementary interrogatories. 1. When we pray, are we praying to a real God? Is anyone there to hear our prayers. Does god exists? Is God real? 2. If God is real and if God exists as a concrete part of our human existence, does He hear and listen to... Read more →

Does God Demand We Have An Obsession For Him?

From the many definitions, we acknowledge sin as any behavior that estrange us from God. Estrangement from God produces in us the discontent that makes us fearful, hateful, envious, angry, uncivil, unkind, and unhappy. We affirm The Ten Commandments as a foundation for behavioral standards that please God. Eve's Simple Realities help us form a symbiotic bond with our Symbiotic God. A lifestyle that does not include the essence of the Ten Commandments and Eve's Simple Realities results in a life estranged from God. The most common and most insidious sin is the sin of excess. God's displeasure with human... Read more →

Symbiotic Intimacy and Gods Grace is Not Free.

The Apostle Paul, in sharp contrast to the predominant Judaic belief of his day that human gained acceptance from God by habitual obedience to His Law, affirmed Grace as God's gift of unmerited, free, and natural love for sinful man. Paul's declaration is an important part of the Christian faith. However the theological precepts of Eve's Simple Realities affirm that if you want to be a living symbiont of the Living God and share the magnificent gift of Symbiotic Grace from our Symbiotic God, you first must accept the belief that Symbiotic Grace is not free; You must earn it....

Suppose Heaven Is A Black Hole

Every soul requires comfort now and then. But not every soul knows the torment of the Uncomforted Soul. Still, the uncertainty of any significant purpose of our individual human life and the possibility of the eternal existence of our immortal soul commands the attention of all of us at one time or another. Consider Henry, child of God. "I have experienced my share of happiness and disappointment in my life. I have wished for more of the former and less of the latter. On balance I have done okay. I get into trouble only when I choose to compare the... Read more →

Is The God of The Religious Right Good for Humanity?

Much of human behavior based on religious dogma and religious practices makes no humanly logical sense. And anyone who would argue with that is either a liar or a fool. At best, giving the masses the benefit of the doubt, most human behavior based on religion is the result of appeals to the passions of emotional thinkers whose sensibility has been co-opted by religious and political power-brokers who were and are wiling to take advantage of emotional thinkers. Human behavior begs the question: will God forgive lies, stupidity, murder and other massive bad behavior even when it is done in... Read more →

Golden Souls, Crusted Maze--Experimental Children of a Symbiotic God

Experiments generally are not kind to their subjects. Experiments can be unsettling and painful with trepidation and pain arriving in many forms. Even under the best humane human laboratory conditions, research animals in all kinds of experimental laboratory settings endure various forms of anxiety and pain. And so it is with Eve's children and the other branches of humanity in Creation's Experimental Garden. Our experimental trials were front loaded with tremendous obstacles. The experimental maze we traverse is laden with primordial traps, spiritual pitfalls, emotional hazards, moral ambiguity, and intellectual dead-ends, obstacles due in part either to Creation-Based Defects in...

Eve's 12 Simple Realities For Symbiotic Intimacy

Her message was clear. Ours is simple reality. We need God and God needs us--but God created us because God needs us. He needs our presence in His Experimental Garden to do what no other species so far has been able to do. We must habitually provide Him and ourselves with twelve magnificent gifts, twelve Simple Realities that satisfy His Needs and for which He gives us the magnificent gift of Symbiotic Grace. Our purpose and our destiny are to give Him and ourselves these twelve Simple Realities and receive the gifts and rewards of Symbiotic Grace. Otherwise, He has... Read more →
