Thank you, thank , thank you

One of my problems of being a Jew that loves my Brother Jesus is I have been a kind of wandering Jew all my life. I am not afraid; I have a willingness to discuss religion. I went to Protestant School in Montreal like the one Kamala attended Westmount where Leonard. Cohen sang the lyric of Tennessee Waltz and I know there were no lyrics to the 19th century Tennessee Waltz.

Leonard Cohen sang Tennessee Waltz to close his concert in Poland.

. My father finished Catholic school in Poland. My father could lead Jewish Orthodox service into mid-his eighties and I am autistic. My father told me: Son don't listen to anyone. ALL religion is the same but God is in our hearts and brains not our books. Leonard Cohen lights up Montreal's sky and the GOP attacked Montreal's two favourite daughters. We love Kamala Harris and Celine Dion not because of anything real but because they are us. Seinfeld was a show about nothing but religion is our justification by both sides for the of abominations and chaos. Religious conflict and historical ignorance is population control.

Judaism is not third century Persian Manicheanism. Judaism is only about life. There is no Heaven and there ain't no Hell. Jesus didn't or couldn't believe in Manicheanism he was a first century Jew and Metaphysically Jews believe in a balanced universe much closer to Buddhism than either Roman Catholicism Christian Orthodoxy, and English or European Protestantism.

To everything there is a season: is the religion of Jefferson and was an abomination to Adams the Federalist and English Supremacist.

I haven't got all day my wife will soon arise and our nanny has not been here for two days and I am hoping today she is feeling better.

Anyhow Judaism is Abrahamic. Islam and Christian are Manichean.

Manicheanism has all the answers. Judaism has only Questions.

When Richard returned from the Crusades they celebrated with a holocausr and there were no Jews permitted in England until Cromwell. The KJV had no one to translate Aramaic and Greek and Latin are not Semitic languages.

It was Thomas the fourth century Saint who proposed the Final Solution and the holocaust began in Havana in 1939 when the Vatican sponsored riots to stop Jews from finding refuge in the Americas and the British Empire.

Jefferson understood the cycle of life. He was a Unitarian like Milton, Locke and Newton.

Milton's Paradise Lost was the foundation of a balanced secular humanist State and Adams and conservatives reject balance whether they be zealous Catholics, Orthodox Jews or Christians or Islamic.

Orthodox Judaism is 18th century apostacy. In first century Judaism Samaritans were Jews who didn't believe Herod's abominable temple and Jesus had as many religions to deal with as Jerualem had people. The Romans believed in Romulus and Remus and their Emperor and might makes right.

Jesus said Good intentions are meaningless we are our brother's keeper.

I thank God Tom, for opening your eyes wider every day to see His will for your life! I believe that is what God desires for all His children; to see His will instead of our own. Jesus came to earth as a King to establish His kingdom. He came to dethrone us from our little “kingdoms”, and to show us life-giving grace by freeing us from the bondage of self serving purposes. I needed this today, in fact I need it daily, to remind myself that I’m here on earth for His purposes and not my own for my little kingdom of one. Thank you son, for sharing your heart. ❤️ I love you!

Thank you, Tom, for your transparency and honesty. I needed this today. I need to be reminded that this life is about His Kingdom, not me. I continue to pray for you.
