Just call it Paganism Plus....

     With  the recent arrest of Kenny  Klein for supposed child porn,  there has been a rush of opinions, attitudes, and judgments flying around.  I  tried to be a voice of understanding  and ethics, but  when people get  in their mass hysteria,  reason is the last  thing that  they want to   hear.  Not even 24 hours after he was arrested, people were saying that  he was guilty. And here is where I came in, I  tried to  remind people about the procedure of law. How Kenny Klein is innocent until  proven guilty. And for this I  was accused of supporting Kenny Klein, have child porn, and just being a loser. I  am not supporting Kenny in any  way, I  am stating that he hasn't went to  trial  and thus not proven guilty by a court of law.
      I have seen Kenny Klein's facebook  page, and there are a lot of images of young ladies. Some of they  ladies are not wearing clothes but behind something. And Some of these ladies look  very  young.  But I  am not the best judge of age, and I  figured that this might have to do  with  modeling, and that is something I know very little about.
     I wasn't going to  defriend Kenny because he wasn't  found guilty of these charges.  However new information keep coming up. Kenny wasn't the best father/husband and his family has nothing nice to  say  about  him. As a father myself, I know that  children will  not say  anything bad about their parent unless they have done something very heinous.  Because of this I  am going to unfriend Kenny. But I  do  have to  stay true to  the ethics here. Kenny maybe guilty of A,B, and C, that  doesn't mean that he is guilty of D. we can't transfer guilt from one incident to a different incident.
     With  all  the rhetoric  popping up about Kenny Klein, I  saw a link about conduct at pagan events and I  decided to read it. And was I  ever disgusted with it.  Recently there was a movement in Atheism to create Atheism Plus, a feminist movement within Atheism, and it utterly failed.  The issue was that it did have gender equality, it had demonized men and made women the victim in everything that it sought to  handle. It talked about the 'rape culture' and the "Don't be that Guy" campaign in Canada.
     It is a gender biased essay stating that  men are basically sex driven  hormone machines that  will  rape any women when they  get a chance. I  was offended by  this. I  am an Equalist, I  seek absolute equality with the genders, to a point where gender doesn't matter. Not all  men are rapists, most men are hard working  individuals that  appreciate women. And not all  rapists are men either. One study I  read states that  nearly 15% of all  adult rapists were women. That  number goes up  when it is children that  are molested /raped.   SO  why  punish all men for the actions of a few?
     And I  want to  add that  when the statistics go  against women , I  bet the numbers are irrelevant. Did you know that nearly 80% of all  embezzlers are women. Well if men can be demonized  because 85% of the rapists are men , then women need to  be demonized for  embezzling funds from their employer at  80%.  SO  all  women should be removed from areas that handle money.  Doesn't that  sound terrible, because not all  women are going to  embezzle money, just like all  men are not going to  rape women.
This essay also  talked about how paganism is a female oriented religion. Thus they  must protect women. I  thought paganism is about balance and honoring  both the male and female aspects.  SO  what  happens if a female causes issues with a guy at a pagan event, does he have to take it?  This essay talked about Domestic violence. I have seen too many  reports and studies that have shown  women to  be just as violent  as men. And with laws set-up  to  protect women and treating men like they are automatically guilty, women are becoming more and more violent. And the man has to take the abuse, because if he defends himself, he can be arrested for attacking his female partner.

SO please keep  feminism out of Paganism. It is supposed ,to  be a spiritual  tool, not a political tool.  Let's keep  each other informed without biased rules targeting men as guilty as accused. Remember the outrage when Z Budapest  held a natural  female only ritual event at wiccacon a few years back.  Do  we want to promote that  type of behavior? Both men and women have flaws and are capable of many  great and terrible things.

The Fall of Society

I have tried to  be nicer to  people, this was one of my main character building goals that  I  made a few years ago. I  have tried to  be more open minded and understanding to people as well.  I  know that I  am not perfect and that  I  have my  weaknesses as well. But  as of late I  think I  have fallen to  being too  nice and friendly to people. And that I  have been giving people respect without them earning it.

If you have not  seen the movie Idiotacracy with Owen Wilson in it, you must see it. When you look at the society we live in and think  about that  movies, you will  become very scared.  The premise is that  two  average people are put in  stasis and then forgotten about. They  come out of stasis in a world that  they are the most intelligent people alive. While they  were asleep  the stupid people have been out breeding the more educated couples. Soon the world is over populated with  idiots that  have no  concept of culture. Yet today I  see that movie coming true now, society has been showing me the vast number of people are under-educated, short minded, and low standards.

I  recently have seen watching some YouTube videos that  make me  look  down on the last  two  generations. Not all   people younger than me are allowing themselves to  become just another mindless soul.  I  do  see some wonderful videos on YouTube and well  written comments by  many  people.

I  asked a question in Facebook  about people disabling their YouTube ratings on their videos. 12 people including myself  have never disabled any  video uploads. But currently 5 people to  disable all ratings and comments on videos.  They  have the options, and it is their account so  they  can do  as they  want.  It is the comments that I  seen that  bother me. Some people stated that  'They  don't give a fuck what  others think  about their videos". They  do  the videos for  themselves and a few friends. But they post their videos to  the public.  They  view comments from strangers as being worthless. I have read many  reports that  the social  skills of the young generation are going downhill  fast. Well here is the proof to me.

I  also  recently made a video  about etiquette when making videos. I  was making the suggestion of trying to  make a good impression when making a video. And some of the same people said that  they  will  make a video  however they  like and they  will  cuss if they  want to.  I know that  words are only offensive if you are the one taking offense. But these videos do  fall  under public speaking and if you have a point to make, put your best foot forward and make a great video.  I had a could of response videos to  this video  and I  got some disturbing attitudes and poor dancing.  When I  think  about the future, I  think I  am going to  have to take care of these people, because they  seem to  lack  the ability and intelligence to  do it  themselves.

Today I  saw a video  that made me want to  cry. There is a young lady  that  posted a  video  about the new pagan tradition that  she has created. She called it the IDGAF tradition, or the I  Don't Give A Fuck  tradition. And she is wanting people to  take her serious.  How can anyone take something of this magnitude serious. I  think  about the words in the title will  cross over to any  ritual  that  they  try and it will  backfire  on a grand scale. Call out Hecate to  do something with  the "I  don't give a fuck" attitude and very bad energy will  cause havoc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd7-f76iFDw

I  am just feeling that  there are too many  under-educated pagans that  are giving  other pagans a bad name. I  feel that  this will  blow-up not only in their face but ours as well.  These young ladies seem to  lack discipline and understanding of the world around them.

I  watched an amazing video  by  Neil  Tyson Degrasse, he was talking about intelligent design and sciences. He explained that when certain cultures are dominate in certain fields of education they  are able to  apply names to  various aspects of that subject. The Numbers that  we use today  are Arabic, Algebra is an Arabic word as well.  Back in the 800's to  1100's the cultural  center for math development was Bagdad.  So  they  were able to  apply the names to  mathematical terms. Why  did  the culture decline and stopped being so  advanced in math? In the 1200's a new Muslim Iman came to power, her saw math  as evil and started to  focus on religious only concepts.  Back in the 1960's-1990's the US was  the dominate culture in sciences and nuclear sciences in particular. Thus there is an element call Californium.  But look  what is happening in the US over recent years. religious people are throwing their beliefs into politics and it is destroying the nation most of us love greatly.

And there is only one way  to  fix this. We have to  educate ourselves and others. . We have to  go to  war on ignorance. People scare me because there are people that  are making comments of scientific principles and calling them wrong. We have people that  have not finish high school calling out the college educated on complex topics. People that  can't put together a complete sentence or use punctuation  are telling scientists that  they  don't know what  they  are talking about.  I  try to  think outside of the box and I  tell  some people about my ideas, but I  tell  them that  I  am only  putting out an idea or an opinion. \

     Being stupid is no longer an option  that  we can allow others to  be.  We have to  install  a need to  be better educated and understand the need to  work  with others for the advancement of society and  the world we all live on.  It is unfortunately just like an image I  have seen on Facebook. "Crazy people don't understand that  they  are crazy, stupid people are the same way". So  too many of these people in society don't understand that  they  are under educated and part of society's problems. So  go out there and learn something and try to  teach others  need your insight.

The Unknown and the Supernatural

     With  the recent disappearance of the Malaysian Airlines 777 airplane, I  have been thinking of other reasons why  the airplane has not been found. And I  want to  say  this very  clearly this is all  just my  opinion. I have read many  books that  talk about unexplained phenomena, and I  believe that  something are possible because we as humans, don't know everything yet.
      I  am wondering if this plane went into  a void or passed through a gate.  Somehow could it be in another universe , if you like the multi-verse theory. The reason why  they  detected the signal could be that  the gate was open enough to  let a radio  signal escape.  Remember all the disappearances with the Bermuda Triangle. Many ships and planes have vanished without a single piece of wreckage.  There have been many  reports of people and planes disappearing in Alaska, search parties  find nothing.
     I have read stories about people seeing bigfoot and somehow it disappearing in thin air. Now yes I  do  consider that  the people's eyes could be playing tricks on them. But  then, we weren't there so  how can we be completely sure they  are wrong.
     As a Pagan,  I  believe in other realms the other worlds and underworlds.  I  believe that  entities can visit or be seen from other realms. So  then I  have to  let my  mind also  consider the possibility that  other creatures could possibly  travel  from one realm to  another. Most humans are so  closed minded and removed from the world that  they  can't see these gates. But  what if Bigfoot senses can detect a gate somehow and they  pop in or out when they  can.
      Paranormal simply means anything beyond known science, thus a black hole or Quantum singularity was a paranormal concept 100 years ago. The same could be said about dimension gates. I  had an interesting conversation with  a co-worker. we were talking about M-theory and hew stated that  all  the different universes could be at one single point. It is like a radio , you go  from 93.7 to  103.3 FM and you receive a different radio station but it doesn't mean that  the other radio station no longer exists. And we are assigned a certain frequency and if we can mastery a way  to  change our frequency, we could then travel to other universes.
      There has been a lot of talk  about Dark matter and dark energy.  And I  have my own weird little theory on it.  quantum entanglement states that  two  charges a link  no matter the distance. That  is if one charge is spinning clockwise, the other has to as well.  SO  then  I  was wondering if two  charges were separated by  a great distance and one was consumed by  a Black  hole, the other would be forced to  copy it's twins actions  being that it had the greater force against it in the black  hole.  SO if the black hole is forcing the first charge  to  be in stasis , the other would have to  be the same form.  And an inactive charge would be dark.   Then the reason why  they  say there is more dark matter than normal matter is because we don't fully understand black  holes yet, and they  are wrong on the volume of these massive monsters.  I  am not a scientist, so  this is pure speculation.
     We look  at  the world with such limited knowledge,  There is so much more for us to learn and apply to  the real universe around us.
