This is sort of a continuation or "Progression for my blog "OK now my fur is ruffled!!!" I am just so tired, and frustrated.... On the main page of our Multi National Corps - Iraq main page is "Experiencing God in the Workplace Bible Study" now in all fairness if I sent something with experiencing something paganistic in the work place or workplace magic yes they would have to put it up there and they would... but the almost immediate and unrelenting tirade of emails talking about saving me or trying to witness tome through e-mail or calling me a Satanist, telling me that I am going to go to hell for my beliefs... Well no worries on that one at lest...LOL it's just.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
Understand this... The section that I work in is a great section. Most know that I am pagan and truly have no cares about it. I work with some great people... It is once you get outside these doors of the building that I work in that the world just goes to crap. It just disgusts me that people would make a vow so frivolously without understanding the meaning of it and how it compares to there own personal values. How could someone say that they are going to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States and then turn around ad bash me for what I believe? Now I am no saint so to speak, I Christian bash with the best of them but I really try hard not to. I know I should and truly I don't make fun of Joe Generic Christian, but the fundies are in my cross hairs, especially when they say they live by the utmost of Christian values and just do the most devious stuff. Anyway I digress... I am just frustrated that we have a country that in its own founding bylaws states that we are to have freedom of religion but that anyone who is not Christian is so persecuted for our beliefs. I am just so sad that with all of our progress that we are still a country that has racism, bigotry, and religious persecution...
Yes it is a most auspicious occasion that our fallen Pagan soldiers now can have the recognition that they so earnestly deserve but that was just a battle folks, and we won it. The war however still rages on. To be brutally honest though I don't know that we can win the war. I would love to think we can but how can we ask a partially intolerant society to accept us for who we are when we preach so much tolerance and we can't even tolerate each other. I know I am just in a depressed mood right now... I am generally much more chipper but I just can't muster it today... Truly as I slowly bring this to the end of this Blog, I am not really frustrated or angry even, I am filled with an almost overwhelming sadness. I am in this horrible war we are in and what are we really teaching the Iraqis to quote the infamous Rodney King "Can't we all just get along" and sadly no matter where I look No, No we can't....
