Why does anything with too many facts get called liberal propaganda?
"In every country & age, the priest is hostile to liberty." -- Jefferson
In any given century, the liberals generally win in the end.

; On the Religious Right:
; =======================

; Zen teachings of Cheri Huber, and related ideas:
; ================================================
Nature has no rewards or punishments, only consequences.
We indulge ourselves to make up for punishing ourselves.
Being unhappy is okay. But being unhappy and hating it is hell.
We are taught that we are bad and punishment can make us good. Wrong!
We see others as victimizing us... so we keep victimizing others.
Take the greatest risk: let yourself be the way you really are.
Any voice that says there is something wrong with you, is not God.
Nobody needs to learn compassion, only to unlearn avoiding it.
Religion: God loves you if you obey. Spirituality: God loves you.
