I’m not a member of the “People of The Book”, as some folk I know refer to those self-proclaimed persons who preach righteousness publicly out of one side of their mouth and repudiate everything that the Book they claim to adhere to actually teaches, especially the teachings of that carpenter’s son.

I walked away from that when I was 16 because the hypocrisy I witnessed then made me ill. And that was long before the “Prosperity Gospel” hooked its claws into it.

Even so, I don’t understand how anyone who has even read that Book can fail to see the warning signs.

Maybe it’s because this golden calf was orange?

IDK.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Garden, that Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and its fruit, and exactly what eating that fruit meant.

*They* say, the Serpent “tempted” the woman. That she was “weak” and succumbed to the temptation.

I’ve come to a different understanding.

There was no “temptation “, there was an offer: “eat this and learn to make your own choices, your own decisions, and not be told what to do and when and how. But if you do, there are consequences. And there is no going back. But the choice is yours. So, stay asleep, or wake up to reality?”

She made her choice, ate, and golly gee, she became “WOKE.”

What a fucking concept.

No wonder someone is waging a war against being “woke”.

Really wish that I could add a photo here, there’s one I’d like to share but no option for that in the mobile app.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reading my ramblings.

Joy is worth seeking. Always and forever.
