Heaven

I am a Christian.  Yet I have questions.

When I talk with fellow Christians, they often mention going to heaven and wanting to be there.

So then I  ask myself... what does the word "heaven" mean to them?

Here is a list of what I assume they see....

1) To be with God who loves them dearly...  i.e. to be in a place where they can be loved unconditionally.

2) To be in a place that is naturally beautiful, peaceful, pristine, pure, and secure.

3) To be in a mansion with all the trimmings of wealth.

4) Where you can live forever in a youthful body without sickness or worry.

5) To be away from earth, wars, pollution, crime, and responsibility.

6) To live forever with youth and vitality with the job of taking care of the earth and all its creatures.


Then there's other perceptions of heaven....

1) 21 virgins
2) Be at the right hand of God.

I would assume the visions of heaven are as varied as there are individuals on this earth.

My first impression of heaven was to be in church all day and night long.  I didn't like that vision because the pews were rock hard, you had to sit still, be quiet, and behave.  You also had to like what you were subject to.  Being a kid wasn't consistent with the vision.  Hell sounded worse.  I was toast!!!


I'd like to get input on what you envision when you think of heaven.

WHY?

Why is it that.......

1. if we don't "behave", we're dead or worse! We burn in hell forever!!!!)
   What does "Behave" mean? 
      Oxymorons like "Love your enemy", or something more gentle like "Politically Correct", or "turn the other cheek" doesn't seem intuitive to me. How can I love someone who hates me or is torturing me for years?
   If I do behave, Oh the Glorious Life I'll Have"!!!! Friends, Blessings, Attention, Respect (This hasn't been my experience except through lip service, not results.)
2.  most religions have stories of war, death, destruction, consequences, "end times" and final judgement.
3. every  god in history is either invisible, absent, made of stone and can't speak.  Some are coming but never do.
4. it's up to us to interpret happenings to make ourselves better persons. What's better? By whose definition?
5. there's "good" and "evil". Which is which? Is strapping a bomb around your waist and blowing yourself up while taking a bunch of innocents with you "good" or "evil"?
6.  nature is vicious yet we call it beautiful and desirable.
7. some people lie without guilt?
8. most people run away from adversity.  Hide when they've done something wrong.
9. most "prophesies" never happen. (A lesson in odds here.  If you're right, you've won the lottery.)
10.  we exist and interpret our existence as deserved, lucky, smart or blessed?
11. every human emotion is now defined as a mental disorder?... (http://www.naturalnews.com/038322_DSM-5_psychiatry_false_diagnosis.html).  There are times I'm happy and at peace... I'm mentally disordered!!!
12. I never saw a UFO? or ghosts? or "shadow people"? or anything of value from my government except a place to throw my trash if I pay for it and broken promises?
13. the "law of attraction" has disappointed and bankrupted more people than helped them.
14. favors turn sour, good deeds have negative consequences.
15.  the best "defense" is to return a guilt trip?
16. getting caught in a naughty results in your anger or fear?
17. we tend to accept everything we're taught without question, without checking it out?
18. we have leaders?  Why must we follow?
19. Why is it that a leader's cardinal sin is to admit a mistake?
20.  politicians can get away without paying taxes, stealing, and killing people and everyone else  pays big fines, goes to jail, or gets a death sentence.
21. a person's word means nothing anymore?
22. Why is it my daughter and grandson are the ultimate victims my good will?

I've come to the conclusion that, at the end of the day,  each of us is on our own.

There is much wisdom in the phrase: "Neither a lender or borrower be."
I'll add "giving" to this phrase because even giving has negative consequences.

Poopy me.


OH!  One more thing.  Why are bug attracting porch lights placed next to the door?

GLOBAL WARMING? Believe Who?

Two Images, Two Links Tells All

The top image was obtained from Revolver Maps which I believe is real time.

The bottom image was obtained from NASA's new Eyes on Earth site.

My questions are... 

My first question is....Where did the top image come from? It only shows ice on land. NASA's site can show ice cover throughout the year. Nasa's image (bottom) was grabbed from the September 2012, the time when most of the ice should be melted.

My second question is.... on NASA's Gravity Map, the current pole region shows less gravity over water and more gravity over land.  Ice floats. So, if ice is less dense than water, it would displace more dense ocean water which would cause the 1/2 inch in sea level being touted today.  Less dense materials will manifest less gravity.

My third question is.... why is gravity getting larger over land masses?  Ice/snow over land would add to the gravity manifested over land because the added snow/ice would add mass. (which the gravity map shows). If, the mass of the arctic icecap is indeed getting less through melting, we should still see a minimum of zero change in gravity. (Salt water is more dense than fresh water.)

So, who are we to believe?  What the media tells us?  Or what our perverted logic tells us?

Mystery Radio in Background

Hear a Mystery Radio in the Background?

No, its Not Galactic Frequencies.

I just heard a caller on CoastToCoastAM with Ian Punnet. (Nov. 23, 2012) who heard a radio in the background and was trying to figure out what it is.

I heard the same thing and was thinking I had a tooth filling, or a piece of metal in the house that picked up the radio station (like a crystal radio).

After years of hearing it, I finally discovered what it was.

My refrigerator!

After a cooling cycle, the freon (?) boils in the cooling coils as they warm making the hissing and buzzing sound exactly as the caller described, making the mystery radio sound.

Now I subconsciously listen for the cycle to occur again 'cause its sooooo coool!

SOLVED!!!!

P.S. This caller also suffered a minor case of tinnitus.  I suffer varying degrees of it depending on where I am and what I have turned on.  I have almost eliminated mine (which got quite loud at times) by getting rid of the new florescent light bulbs in the house and wrapping aluminum screening around my smart meter.,  I have a few of these curly-cue bulbs in the house and every time I turn them on I suffer tinnitus for a few hours afterward.  A cashier at a local store had to move to a bedroom farthest away from her "Smart Meter" to get some tinnitus relief.  I believe the transmitters in the new Smart Meter Compliant devices in our homes are a major source of tinnitus.

Good bye, aluminum foil hat.  Hello aluminum foil earmuffs.

Who Says?

Yes, I've been absent.

The reason is that I wanted to get my bearings regarding all this political mumbo jumbo going on out there.

This drove me nuts, so from now on, consider this blog as being posted by an insane person.

Here's my conclusions since my last post.

1) What do we need leaders for?  Especially leaders of countries or states.  Who told us we need them and why do we accept this concept?  If you think about this "leadership" concept long enough, it sounds as ridiculous as the concept of "racism".  Someone invented these terms to divide and control.

Now think about it.  At the end of the day, who controls or influences your day to day activities?  It's not your federal government, it's not even your state government.  It is the people in your neighborhood, like family members and neighbors.  Beyond that, we have no idea who the designated "leaders" are.  For all we know, they could be liars, cheats, or honest-to-goodness good people.  There's no telling.

All I know about our Federal Government is the threats I get if I don't pay my taxes, or if I fail to abide by some tens of thousands of laws.  These people, who I never met, who I don't know, will come to my house and throw me into some prison if I don't do what they say.  Sounds ridiculous from the start.

Here's my take.  If we mess up in our small world of family and neighbors, we'll get chastised immediately and learn how to deal with the situation.  Think of it like a smack in the head from your father for goofing up.  You'll learn immediately what you need to do to survive your local conditions. If someone dumps a bunch of poison into your water supply, you've got a problem. So, what does man do, anyway?  They take their guns and shoot the guilty, move to another place that's clean and start all over.  (Seems like, eventually, humanity will learn to not mess up, else face guaranteed consequences.)  Small wars are better than big wars. Fewer people suffer and die that way. (Insane comment for sure.)

2)  I stated this before.  The term "racism" is absolutely STUPID!  Why do we even pay attention to this concept.  We are all God's children, never had a say as to what we look like, or what color our skin is, yet, there's people who think these traits are worthy of note.  Come on now!

3) Taxes. UGH!!!!  Why should we toil and sweat just so someone else can take away the fruits of our labors?  Who has a right to MY stuff?  I figure, if I made it, it's mine.

4) "Tax the rich."  Now how stupid is this? VERY STUPID.  Rich people get rich because they steal from you by force, or they supply something that you want or need.  Folks, money will ALWAYS run uphill. Tax payments will always roll down hill.  In other words, THE RICH NEVER PAY TAXES. They just add any taxes they have to pay to the price of what you buy from them.  Prices would be much lower if we could eliminate the wages of tax accountants, tax lawyers, lobbyists, and wasted time expenses that are added to the price of what we buy.  Market forces, like competition,  would determine the price we pay at the end.  It's that way, anyways.

5) I look at the office of the president.  He's got to be in charge of the military, has to be in charge of diplomacy, civil rights, budgets, EVERYTHING!..  How can one person be an expert in EVERYTHING?  That's CRAZY!
