Pure love includes tolerance - yes - but, who was I judging? I merely defended my beliefs - you are just as free to defend yours. I was merely telling you to get off the blame God and go to Goddess spin your on -because the Goddess doesn't hold the same kind of promises that pure obedience to the Spirit of God does - if you don't believe it - then you don't believe it - fine! This is my opinion, not my judgment of you, my opinion - understand? If you want to blame anyone for our eco-dilema blame sin! I always speak from my opinion, you are free to take it for what it's worth - as I can see - it's worth nothing to you - fine! Now what is sin to the Goddess? It baffles me how some questions get answered with passion and others never do? Are there no answers to these questions, or just no takers: Who is the Goddess? What's her name, if she has one? What does she have to offer in terms of love, life and salvation? Why is she God's nemesis? How do you communicate with her? How do you know she's listening? All questions I asked without reply! Peace!

Aedrienne Hi! Good question - what makes us one (one family) is that spirituality- our spirits united - we can not be united in flesh - right - so we are united in spirit - but to be united in spirit we have to have some mutuality in spirit - such as in the belief of the Absolute - so how you view the Absolute (God, The Great Spirit, etc.) is up to you but that is our unifying spirit/ That is why we shouldn't put forth other Gods and other Goddesses as if there were more then one - because why would your Goddess love you and not me? Why would my God love me and not you? Are they for each other? Against each other? It brings up too many questions and divides us. We know now that unity brings peace - right? So then divisiness brings war - right? No divisiness - unify under One Absolute - resolves us to OK many faces/many views/many celebrations under one big sky with the watchful eye of the Sun - . That would bring more peace! Tolerance doesn't mean blindly accepting things that can hurt us and disrupt our peace! Peace!

Mitch wrought its deadly havoc as the world's top climate bureaucrats were making slow progress trying to make sure that industrialized countries make emissions cuts within a dozen years to prevent similar disasters becoming commonplace. A draft resolution says that while it is not possible to say that the thousands of deaths and massive destruction caused by Mitch in Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala last week were definitely caused by global warming, it was still a brutal reminder of the need to act fast to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
