[Mb-hair] God said it. - WHEN? - I believe it. DO I? That settles it - WHAT?

[James Pappaconstantine]

Right On.. Dagmar, Right On... I do think that the people who wrote the book had good intentions at heart, but like everything, if people see there is power and money to be made off something they typically do it. Religeon is such a joke to me.. How many wars were fought in the name of GOD? Funny yet sad story.. my guitar players x girlfriend had just gotten her first job.. (many years ago) the preist from their church came over to their home while we were visiting.. He was making his rounds to collect money.. I remember him asking Lisa, how much she made at her job and asking about their families new car.. Then he went on to the parents and asked them to up their donation.. What the hell is that all about? One would think that Church and State were one.. hmmm.. At anyrate.. religeon is like politics with me.. I can't stay on the subject too long as I get  frustrated with it. 
 
On another note: Are we going to meet at the Reunion? I know last year or maybe more we had a few emails back and fourth as I finally realized who you were after years of admireing your work with some of the greats.. Mott the Hoople ... Mick Ronson... I am still doing my thing.. Shot a few bands this past month.. Tsar, Redwalls and The Shout Outlouds, All are up and comings.. BUt I think that is the best time to get them.. I just shot this cool Rock a billy band in Boston a month or so back too.. The Legendary Shack Shakers.. They were a lot of fun. Trying to get in to shoot Hall and Oates Sept. 3rd, but not sure how that one is ganna play out. At anyrate.. I realize that NYC is a bit of trip for you but I do hope you are gonna make it. I would really like to meet you... You've got a great eye.. JIM

Hi Jim, 
unfortunately I must agree with you, it is just a BOOK, written by people 
and most (all?) religions are just instruments of control of the mass of
humans, 
wielded by a few more clever ones...

God is mostly silent these days. I cannot believe he idly tosses a tsunami
around!
And he has said none of the things in the bible. That's a fact. 

Dead? Maybe. Or maybe he is a great concentration of spirit that surrounds
us?
and what we do with it creates/triggers the results?

Or could it be that god/gods seem to have either given up on his/their
creations 
and is/are occupied with other issues (?) 
or do they just not care and watch to see what we will do with what we have
been 
given?

The outlook is not bright at all.

Dagmar
(on a more serious note than usually)

GOD is dead. 

Years ago profits wrote a book to help us live a better life, but who is to
say what's 
better for an individual. I think a lot of what the Bible preaches is or
could be good for 
society. But too many people take stock in that book like it was a road map
for their 
lives.. Wake up people! It's a fu*king book! Indians pray on many Gods.
Some pray to 
Buddha, others to Ala.. but while they are all praying to their Gods.. The
appointed 
governments are preying on them. I am so tired of Governments screwing
people, 
killing people in the name of Peace and Religion. GOD is dead.. If he were
not.. he 
would not let such evil take control.. The meek shall inherit... Inherit
what? The only 
thing that'll be left when they get through are the cock roaches... maybe
that's what 
they want.. seeing how they are the biggest cock roaches of them all.. 

A very Cynical JIM
