Evangelism

Once again there are actions going on that take advantage of Human Beings in desperate need. This being the same actions taken against my Ancestors, in the name of God.

I will start by says, I know many people may have anger upon reading this blog. I do believe these will be the people who blindly follow a Concept or Perception forced upon them as Children. Not being allowed to form THEIR OWN Opinions, Perceptions or Concepts. I have never tried to force my Beliefs upon another Human Being, so why does the Arrogance of others think they have the Right to Force their Beliefs upon another, especially when they are in great need. After all, Religious Beliefs are nothing more than a thought, a Mental Concept.

This day I am shocked at a News headline, “After Quake, Evangelists find an Opportunity”. (Not the opportunity to fulfill their physical needs but to spread their Religious concepts) I am speaking of the Natural Phenomena, considered a disaster in Haiti. With quoits like, “Out of Tragedy, there is Opportunity”, “But Evangelism underlies the Mission of Mercy” or “They do not reject God, they just feel God is too far away”.

How sad this Society of the twenty first century.

The People of Haiti need help, like food, water and medical aid, not religious fanaticism. Yes people will come, not because they have a need for your Religious Teachings, because they are hungry, thirsty or in a need to end their suffering. Yet you put restrictions on your Giving. That is not my Culture Teachings. My Teachings, you give with a Good Heart and Spirit nothing Attached, no Obligations placed upon the recipient.

Many Stories from many Cultures of the Native American Peoples where deception and finding people in need were coerced into accepting a Religion that was filled with mistrust and incomprehensible to our way of Life. I do believe that the truth of these Religions do not Teach, untruths, deceptions and coercion of people in a disastrous situation. Yet these fanatical Religious people SING their own praise, yet at what cost to the Spirit and wellbeing of the people they claim to be so generous towards.

Stories from the past you will not fined in any history book:

A Clergyman set out to teach a Tribe, farming. He took potatoes and cut them into small pieces, some with the eye on the potato that allows a new plant to grow, some without. When he passed out the potato pieces to the people, the people who had converted to his Christian Teaching were given the pieces with the eyes. The pieces without eyes were given to the people who had not accepted his God. After a few weeks the potato plants started to grow but only the one with the eyes, the others rotted in the ground. When the people who were given the pieces without eyes asked, "why are our potatoes not growing", his response was, "because you do not believe in my God".

Another Tribe held very strongly to their Ancestral Teaching, rejecting the Teachings of the Clergyman. His response to the people was, ‘In three days my God will take a bite out of your Moon’. The Clergyman had prior knowledge of a lunar eclipse, thus causing fear among the people.

Deceptions, lies. Truly, are these the Religious Teachings of the Euro-Americans?

What has happened in Haiti is a Natural phenomenon; the Earth is a Living thing, ever changing, with events we as Human Being see as disasters. Yet we never learn. These Lessons have been placed before us in the past. We as Humans have no control over the devastation these Natural Happenings cause. Still we have the knowledge these things will continue when we construct our buildings we do not factor in these Natural Effects.

When will us Human Beings Learn we must live WITH Nature and build our lives with this in mind.

Yet we evolve, we take advantage of other peoples pain, forcing upon them a ‘Religious Concept’ in order for them to receive the help they need. Help without restrictions, without obligations should be the RIGHT thing to do, how sad this Human Race has become.

The concept in my Culture; ‘there should be no strings attached’! As I was taught, as a Child in my Cultural Teachings.
