You are all God's children by believing in Christ Jesus. 27Clearly, all of you who were baptized in Christ's name have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There are neither Jews nor Greeks, slaves nor free people, males nor females. You are all the same in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants and heirs, as God promised.
Paul
Galations 3:26-29

~President George W. Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005~
But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.

volume 1, chapter 6 of Mein Kampf (1925), by Adolf Hitler

So how do you determine what is the "Truth", especially when politicians claim they speak it?

Within each of us there are two trees, each yielding its own fruit. One of them is negative...it grows from lack of self-worth and its fruits are fear, anger, envy, bitterness, sorrow - and any other negative emotion. Then there is the tree of positive emotions. Its nutrients include self-forgiveness and a correct self concept. Its fruits are love, joy, acceptance, self-esteem, faith, peace...and other uplifting emotions. ~ Unknown

The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.

Real religion should be something that liberates men. But churches don't want free men who can think for themself and find their own divinity within. When a religion becomes organized it is no longer a religious experience but only superstition and estrangement.

In latter years, Winston Churchill became a little absent-minded. On one occasion, he emerged from the gents in the House of Commons having forgotten to zip (or probably in his case, button) himself. A lady MP noticed this and coyly pointed it out to the great man. Churchill's reply: "Madam, dead birds do not fall out of nests"!

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Leo

This is a great day for fixing things that have gone wrong. If there have been ructions in your relationship with a certain person this is when you can sort things out and get them back on track. If an appliance or gadget is going on the blink, this is your cue to either get it mended or chuck it out and replace it. You may also find time to tidy up your immediate surroundings or take all those bottles and papers to your nearest recycling center. How virtuous you'll feel when it's all done!
