Wow. There are so many things to say under this topic. But one positive thing I've noticed is that I respect the way some Buddhists so fully incorporate their beliefs into their whole life. I'm becoming more aware of the false teaching I heard sometimes growing up about "prioritizing God." I don't want to prioritize God. I want to incorporate God. I want to be enveloped in God, everything about me and my life and my thoughts and feelings. I want there to be no way to distinguish between God and my job and my friends and whatever else would be in my "priority list".
In talking with some Buddhist friends, I've been impressed with the way that their beliefs in the Buddhist way affect their whole being, their whole outlook. Inspiring.
All that to say, some of the women we work with believe it's their fate to be a prostitute and know that they're already working from a leg down by being a woman at all. Since being a man is closer to enlightenment. There is no way for this blog to properly convey the amount of ire I feel about that idea. I'm thankful to know that I am made equal to all other humans, all in the image of God.

ReplyDeletei do hate the fate part about religions. that stinks.
how do i pray about this? that God's followers would maybe stop following and start being in the midst of God?
