:cheer: I like Yahushua. I love the site it's cool. I thought the article really laid it down when it comes to religion. I have to agree it has been more negative than positive.

Me...hum well rounded, good mom, good step pop. progressive, growth in spirit, maturity, physically. That's what my story is in a nut shell.

Our story is the American story and It's all been said. It's very sad. Some terrible things go on in this country. I don't think the behavior of law enforcement at all levels is commendable. I don't think our politicians behave in a upstanding honorable manner. I don't think white people in general have a damn thing to be proud of. I watched Mississippi burning a couple nights ago and I was ashamed. I have an Italian cousin and he was in tears. He was horrified and saw white Americans as the savages. I had to agree.

The story is the human story and it's equally as horrific. I do believe most humans are harvestable. I'm afraid I also believe in the 95/5, It's obviously true I mean we need only look.

:) I like this Mason...much better. I can tell we have been up graded. I like the Hebrew name for Jesus too.

My story is one of spiritual and emotional growth. Self-awareness and realization that I matter. I am important and valued despite being married to a emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically abusive man for way to long. Shawn and I are marrying in the summer and it feel good to know what a good man is really like. Our story to me was immediate family. On my mother's side I feel growth and progress in the right direction. My father is stuck part of the 95 and I can see why mom left him. I ended up marrying a man just like my father but like my mother I wised up. The Story is the story of those living in the Country known as the United States. It is a story of hate, subjugation, oppression, genocide, greed, and having no value for life environmentally or anywhere else. The story of Americans is not good and nothing to be proud of. There is far to much hate, and far to much wealthy victimization of the poor and middle class. Our women and children are expendable, and the lies are insurmountable. Not a good story. Not a good history.

:) I first want to say I am sorry to hear about my fiance's parents as well as Uncle Mike and Mason.

The article really gave a good view of what religion is doing to humanity and if you evaluate what is going on around the world it's not hard to see why. We don't ban it in this country because it is a control mechanism therefore way to valuable but not out of any moral obligation or sense of righteousness

I like the Hebrew name for Jesus too.

My story is basic and simple. Growing up in a typical family with a bossy controlling mother who is still telling me I'm in the wrong faith. All she does is prove that is false. Her behavior speaks for itself just like most religious people. Mom and those like her had me on the fast track to becoming atheist. I told her that. I have no desire be a part of her traditional religious practices. She told me I was going to hell like my father and I told her, News flash...we are already living in hell. She gasped and hung up. She knows I am getting married this summer and she does want to come, but she does not condone dad's marriage because race mixing is wrong. I told her we don't care and we were happy with dad's choice. I also told her that was why I wanted no part of her beliefs or value system, which leads me to Our Story. I associated this with my families story and man it is rough particularly on Mom's side of the family. It's the typical white family with the typical white values. That is we have to see minorities but we don't have to accept them. We are to have no association with them and all the other garbage that goes along with that. On my dad's side things are a little bit more normal and I am proud of that side of my family and culture. The Story is the American Story which leads right back to my mother and her sickening views. I do not like the views of too many white Americans because to me they are outdated and just savage. I mean how do you gun a human being down just because you can? How do this officers sleep at night? How do you toss a teenage girl around the way that officer did in Texas? She was a female and still a child. I saw a video of a cop punching a black teenager in the face and I was shocked. I know they hit black women just as quickly as they hit black men. What is civilized about that? What is justified? What is so great about a country that has men in law enforcement and they behave like criminals? I'm disgusted and that's why I'm joining my father in Italy. Ryan is all right with it and so is his parents. I want to be proud of where I live and I'm not proud of white America .

I bummed out about my folks but I'm glad they are handling civil like.

I read the article in the previous site and I like how it put traditional religion in perspective.

I like Yahushua for Jesus.

My story is average I think. I wasn't abused. I had everything I needed and most of what I wanted. As an adult i want to stay on the right track and I think I'm doing good so far. My story has been one of fortune and ease. I have also grown in all aspects of my life and I'm greatful that happened young.

Our story is the US story and it's ugly. Everyday you find out something else about what is happening to us like the shot thing and the government isn't protecting us. We are not living in a very good place but I don't think there is any place on Earth that is good.

The story is a human story and it is one of savagery and cruelty. I think the 95/5 theory is evident and explains the savagery that affects so man on the earth.

:cheer: I love the site Mason I think it's really cool.
The Article opened my eyes up to some of the many problems with tradition religion. I don't want anything to do with it because I don't think it serves the God who is the one true God.

I like Jesus' Hebrew name so let's call him that.

My story is one of privilege. I grew up with the coolest dad on the planet and honestly didn't have any real tragedy in life until my pop almost died. It was the scariest thing to ever happen to me. My dad is everything to me and I was so afraid for him to marry anyone else because our mother wasn't nice to dad. But Ebony is fantastic and I love her so very much. My dad deserves a good woman and he finally has one. I have grown so much since dad married Ebony and all of our changes are positive changes.

Our story is the American story and you've heard it all . I agree with that. It is more tragic than positive. there is far to much going on negatively in this country and it is shameful.

The story is the human story and it is just as flawed as our story. We aren't doing so well as a species and I think I have to agree with the 95/5 we have learned about.

:cheer: I really love the site administrators. It's really cool looking and so is the forum. Now I like new forum I think it's better.

I like the Hebrew name too, Yahushua.

I liked the article for all the reason mentioned and I need to know all the reason religion is bad for us because Dad is always trying to tell us what's wrong with being Gnostic. Mark, I read the answers to common questions and my did would find a site where they call themselves the true Gnostics. I like how you explained we have no need for titles and that's what I told my dad. I told him in all actuality, real Gnostics don't have to declare they are authentic. We don't subscribe to that kind of behavior like religions do. He didn't havea good come back.

My story is similar to the story of many of those in our group. I had a good childhood most of the time until dad had the accident and lost it. Mom was always firm and stood with us and for us. What he didn't do mom made sure she did do. Mom taught us to always have faith and to be loyal. I credit her for all the growth and foundation we received because Dad waddled in self pity and bitterness up until Mom had enough and left, taking us with her. My story is one of faith, hope, and forgiveness just like the article describes.

Our story was the American story to me and I really hate it. I mean it really sucks and alot of stuff troubles me about what goes on her and is allowed and tolerated, It's disturbing to say the least.

The Story is how we are as a species. Wow, seriously I with Bill Maher, this is some sad shit. I mean really Donald Trump? I knew Paul Ryan was full of shit and this just proves it. They are a bunch of racist doing all they can to keep the Black president from helping all Americans. It has been horrible to watch and I felt sorry for Obama trying to deal with them. I mean their racism screams based on their behavior. It's not much better around the world to much tyranny and misplaced power and poor judgment. It's not a good portrait that's for sure. We are supposed to be all tied together but who would know it?
