Apr 2022

to WWII where my family's farm was destroyed on the Russian German front lines. All my family left Europe to escape their own hell and look for a better life. Some did better than others. I inherited this deep feeling of right vs. wrong, good vs. evil and I'm not a member of any organized religion.
I am an earthling and those who harm others effects me. I don't know how to shut it out. I find the so-called Christians to largely be just that, particularly the "mega-churches" and those siding with RW politicians. It's pretty simple: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Seems to have been conveniently forgotten. All religions have this basic premise; take care of each other and especially those who can't for themselves.
Take care
