If you believe that 2000 years of Christianity has brought peace,
brotherhood and happiness then you are ignorant of history.
Or if Islam is a religion of peace why are Sunni Muslims & Shiite
Muslims
slaughter and torture each other by the tens of thousands?
Reason and Science or Religion and superstition?
All religions are based on "belief" not "facts".
Things like "heaven" ,"72 virgins", "Garden of Eden with a talking
snake","Angels","Ghosts","Noah's Ark", "Jesus walking on
water","witches"& "Moses getting the 10 Commandments from God" are all
"beliefs" and contain not even a shred of evidence
any of these childish things ever existed. Why would they be taught in
Public Schools- or posted in Public buildings financved by people of
all beliefs,
other than to explain the difference between "facts" & "beliefs"?
Judaism,Christianity & Islam were religions written during periods of
extreme
ignorance. The people who wrote these books had no knowledge of the
Solar System,
the fact that the Earth was round or that the Sun was the center of
the Solar System,
the origins of the Universe,the Decimal System of Measurements, Germs
or Bacteria, Antibiotics,X-Rays,Dinosaurs and other Pre-historic
animals,Natural Selection, Sciences or even that North America,
China,or the Polar Ice Caps even existed. Can you imagine such a
"belief system" based on ignorance and superstition as religions do?
Or people
who believe ancient books possess magic powers or hold "sacred
truths"?
I prefer reason, logic,science and ethics.Can you really believe
"Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt"?

This Teaching says,
"A great leader is oftentimes quiet in manner, but
sound in logic, affording others the use of their will,
but overseeing the action so that the purpose or the goal
is attained with high sound moral values and moral
standards."
TEACHING DELIVERED THROUGH FRANCES M. KLUG
ON JULY 20,1979
"One: What do you have faith in?
Two: How is your faith governed?
Three: To what degree is your faith in God?
Four: Do you understand what faith is?
Five: Do you believe in faith?
Six: Do you see faith in the true sense God
intended it to be?
Seven: Do you understand faith?"
"A good point to remember: Christian is a
liberal word.
Roman Catholicism specifies a particular religion.
Protestantism is a general word. A particular
protestant church appreciates being identified.
Identity is important; it calls attention to someone,
something direct.
The Charismatic Movement is just this - a
movement. It is not a religion. It is a group of people
gathering together to demand of God a unity with Him
that is obvious to everyone present. People who belong
to this movement should remember no one has the right
to demand anything of God, and God, in His Justice,
His Wisdom, His Pure Love, does not respond to man's
demands.
Paganism is also a movement idolizing false gods.
The Satanic Movement is the lowliest form of
human idolatry that exists. A diabolical creed can only
attract men who are egomaniacal, emotionally unstable,
indifferent to charity, fidelity, chastity, lack sound moral
values, sound moral standards, and sound thinking. They
are irrational in human dignity and foul in respect for
human life.
Let's take a bird's eye view of the world.
Remember, a bird can fly in places 'off limits' to other
people. He can fly across open spaces. He can sit in
a tree and look in a window. He can perch himself
on a bush and listen to a conversation. He has nothing
to lose, and he really has no place to go, so his time
is his own to travel the world and pass on to other
birds what he has heard.
Isn't it sad, or is it good, that a bird can't write
a book? In the time in which you live, it is probably
a blessing that he can't talk, and he can't write, and
he can't tell others what you do.
lt must be disheartening for a bird to see the whole
world collapsing into a quicksand of immoralities. His
instincts would tell him, soon there would be no trees
to sit on, no houses to look into and no place to land,
because logic would say, because of the horrible things
in the world, God would have to show His Hand. Man
has instincts and man has conscience, but most of all,
man has a will.
Man does not have to depend upon sheer or mere
instinct. Man has intellect, values, standards, faith,
conscience, and the ability to use the will to make
decisions of great worth, sound help, and reasonable
intention.
Immorality is the result of willfulness or weak
wills. The world is hungry for real heroes, great
leaders. What common denominator of human existence
has torn down the willingness for man to stand in a
competitive field, striving to forge ahead to heroism or
great leadership? Why do men relate only to the sick
world we live in, bending their will to accepting immoral
values and standards because they do not have the
courage to fight for what is right, what is pure, what
God Wills for man?
What constitutes a great leader? In no way could
this subject be covered in one paragraph, but to just
touch on some of the highlights of this magnanimous
subject brings to mind ordinary attributable, contributory
ideas and ideals that constitute a great leader.
First: He or she must have a sound mind, sound
moral values and sound moral standards, faith in God,
restricted to a religion of order and sound concept; must
be a man or woman of dignity, honorable, not just in
the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of his or her
family and co-workers; a man or woman who is distinct
in the areas of capabilities and abilities, not always to
excel in the mechanical portions, but who can motivate
others who have this talent to being productive in an
orderly, organized way for constructive reasons for the
good of mankind.
A great leader is oftentimes quiet in manner, but
sound in logic, affording others the use of their will,
but overseeing the action so that the purpose or the goal
is attained with high sound moral values and moral
standards.
A great leader is one who encourages others to
not just follow, but to accept the responsibility of human
abilities, human dignities, human involvement.
A great leader recognizes, but never patronizes or
compromises when there is default or faulty
understandings.
The world is hungry for great leaders. A great
leader is not born. A great leader comes from
perseverance, sincerity, dignity, honor, and desire to
accomplish, for the Will of God, what is good for men
and good for himself or herself.
The world today could not be termed healthy in
concept, appearance or activities. It is not because the
earth is not healthy, but because mankind does not have
a healthy spirit of life.
Competitiveness in business, in relationship with
other men and women, has dwindled into acceptance of
whatever is offered, creating a lack of sound competitive
action, resting on whatever standard other men set as a
way of life. Immorality is obviously a standard to be
recognized because it is a standard that radiates in every
activity of life. Men are educated, but the education
has not promoted a higher standard for life. If anything,
it has promoted a humanistic equality that makes the
standards for life what the lowest value actively allows.
Whatever happened to striving for holiness:
holiness in the manner God Wills it to be; holiness in
dedication to God above all things; total commitment
to do His Will for the sake of one's own Soul and for
the Souls of all mankind?
Whatever happened to respect: first, for how God
would want us to be; secondly, for human life?
Holiness most certainly is not every man's 'cup
of tea', but holiness should be a way of life that men
strive to be a part of and to see. It should be a goal
for men to know is the ultimate goal of the human life
for a man's Soul. Holiness does not mean walking
around ethereally, but holiness means sound dedication,
total commitment, striving to honor God ultimately, being
good example to all people, and exemplary in charity.
Charity is many things. It is not giving someone
something just to please, but it is acknowledging the
needs, recognizing the needs, and sharing, in many ways,
what a man has, for the good of other people. This
could be time, energy, knowledge, hope, love, respect,
dignity, honor, or a material thing.
Immorality can be termed thusly: Hogwash. For,
in it there is no joy, no elegance, no dignity, no real
fulfillment. It is the swill of the earth, and it is not
food fit for human consumption, physically or
spiritually. Today, we live in a world of ugliness,
sinfulness, and animalistic behavior.
It is a sick world.
There is a solution.
There is a medication.
There is a positive answer.
There is a method.
There is a means to establish a healthy situation
throughout the world.
Though we live in a sick world, we do not live
in a hopeless world. Where there is faith in God, and
people strong enough to stand up in a sound stable way,
having the faith to see the purpose of life, and realize
that God Himself gave the Commands for life, for men
to establish sound moral values and sound moral
standards, the first step is to recognize there is a
problem. The second step, to stand firm on faith in
God and what it means to have sound faith in God.
The third is to establish leaders in government that have
for their intentions, the good of the people in mind, not
just acclaim for themselves or obedience to money power
behind them.
There are some very good people in this world,
who, if given the chance, could be fine leaders, perhaps
even great ones. We do not express our will for sound
leadership as much or as well as we should.
We must come up with, not just theory or
analyzation of this situation, but with facts to support
it, and with facts that will be substantial enough to create
sound government.
If a man is in a high governmental position and
is not sound in his action or thinking, Americans should
be strong enough to see the disaster and tragedy that
this man or woman can cause, and there should be sound
action instigated and taken; of course, always within the
laws, but we must be sure the laws are not just laws,
but have justice as their foundation and their goals.
Emotionalism, riots, demonstrations, are not the
answers. If these people who are truly sound of mind
with sound standards themselves, would meet in dignity
and gather information that would show respect to the
laws, to the situations, and of course, to the people
involved, much more would be accomplished; and even
though corruptness is evident, it is also evident that truth
wins out. Justice has to be seen because it is innate
in man to want justice, and justice, as it is meant to
be, has no flaws, blemishes or scars because of its
inadequacies. Justice stands in a particular place,
acknowledging truth, acknowledging sound values and
sound standards, and most certainly bears with it,
honesty, dignity and acceptance. Also, true justice has
all kinds of evidences of God in it."
