My Confederate Story
Okay people, I want to tell everyone about my Female Confederate General Story that I made. It's not boreing like history book boreing, it's Hananiwa behind the sences, so the people who read my storiesshould know that I don't make things Zzzz. The story is like Mulan but Amelia becomes a General and dress herself like a boy to take her father's place in the war and she falls in love with a young Doctor name Rufus Maxwell who thought that the man he know as Shan Waynethe son of John Wayne is gay, so it's shorta funny if you look at it.:)

A new world dawnning
Have you ever wander if there are other worlds out there besides this one? I have alot, I always want to go somewhere that has no mean people in it and freedom and peace is every where. I cry at times when I hear something terrible and I wish so bad to go to a world of Naruto, Gundam Seed, or anything like that. I'm a peaceful person and I love to have fun but what I want to be a fighter not a follower. People are not born onto this world to be controled, we are living beings that have dreams and hopes, and we should fight for the world on which we dream of living in. Would everyone love to see smiles and laughter on peoples faces so happy and carefree. so people could walk free, like water in a stream. I dream of a world of hope and peace and freedom. I hate fights and hatered, it brings the freedom and peace to a waste, we should not hate, lie, fight, or kill, we should cherish the thiings we have and care for the people around you. of course a war is at foot, that is called hatered and selfishness that someone is brain washing someone to believe a lie is a truth, and hurting someone is a terrible way to fight for something, if you want to fight for something, fight with words not with guns.
A heart is loving and careing
Guns are hate and anger
Which path will you chose?
A path of hope and peace
A path of hurt and pain

I believe her, I'm trying to make sence out something to her and she always trying to make it sound like I'm trying to make stupid. No I'm not, she said, 'I'm Alex Ruso.' and I told her, 'Your not, you are you and only you.' then she told me, 'Shut up, you say your Lacus Clyne.' 'No, I said I like to be like her, not I'm her.' 'Shut up you Anime freak, you only have computer friends and not real friends and I do.'. That did hurt and it is true, I don't have no friends and I hate it when she rub it in my face about it. She always get my mom to get mad at me and makes it look like I'm the one who started everything, I have wishes and dreams while she has I wants and give me's. I love peace and quiet and she loves putting me down and dragging. I wish I go to another world and live there like The Naruto world or Destiny Islands. Sisters, who needs them.

Remeber Chastity Amelia Sumner
Chastity Sumner - Age:7
A girl who loved life to the fullest. A girl who loved her family and friends. A girl who looked forward to activitiessuch as birthday parties and cookouts.
Many of the mourners were younger children, many who were likely her friends and classmates from school. Some wore pink and white ribbons for the memory of Chastity Sumner. Each were struggling to make sense of Chastity's death as the most sweetest girl who life has been taking by another.
**What Happen**
Chastity has been found killed in a water-filled ditch near her home. She was raped, beaten, and murdered by a man name, John Allen Manning Age:37. The man lived in the same home as Chastity did and her Grandmother Rose Sumner. Chastity was killed in, April 28, 2007 and she's only 7. The man had 2 children living with them and Chastity had sisters too and they were raped also by him and they had no help by no one cause of no one believe them at all. They told someone and they don't believe them cause they think their lieing, and now, the children are taking away from Rose and place with someone else.
Why should one sweet pure hearted life should be sacrficed for others to be happy and order for someone to believe them. Me and my mom went and visit her grave and we put Christmas decorations on flowers and told her Merry Christmas. And my mom said,
"She would've been home right now waiting for Santa Claus."
She is with God now, I know she's happy with him and sleeping peacefully that she is in Gods hands now, and she doesn't have to worry about beening hurt no more. Even I never knew her but Ican't believesomeone as young as her life has been taking for someons selfishness,and I still cry over her and I still visit her whenever I can.
Please remeber Chastity Sumner

Memories are funny
You know memories are funny but not when it happens and it is? Trust me it happens alot to me, I put down some memories that I remeber.
-The Funnyest Moment-
I remeber when I was praticeing for graduration and the teachers told us to behave and stay quiet, so the 2nd day for pratice there is a courus that goes up and sing and to me everything was going cause if it weren't, I'll wouldn't be bored. My mom was there and she helping out with the cap and gowns helping with colours and watching the pratice. Okay, what happen is that after the courus sanged they were going back to there seats and it was so quiet til a sound of a fart came off and I was like O.O. The teachers heard it and said, "Who did that?" then a boy who place a woopie cousin under a singer stood up and said, "I did it." while holding up the woopie cause he got it back,. So the teachers said, "Bring it up here." So he started to walk to the stage and there was a boy who said, "Hey Jay, hold it up high andproud." and I saw the teachers, they are mad. Don't worry, he gradurate. And now I still laugh at it.
-The Most MadestMoment-
One day I spend a day with my brother and he is a Rebel cause in a war againist the Rebels and Yankee's, we have family that was on both sides cause 3 were tooking as prisoner for the Yankee's and force to fight with them, and 1 is a proud Rebel...Okay, what happen is that my brother has a friend that hunts and I hate his guts cause everytime he hunts he does something that I told him not to and I told him that if he keeps on I'll strangle him... So I was playing Grand Theif Auto and I heard someone say, "Hey Toot's." I trun my head and screamed cause that moran is holding a deer head beside me and I was so mad, I jumped on him and starting to choke him and my brother try to take me off of him but I was to strong (yeah, I'm stronger then my brother) I did let him go and henever done it again. Okay, I love animals, but my brother wears a stupid shirt that says, 'There is one place for God's creatrures...and that is next to the mash potatos and gravy', and for that I kick his but.
I'll put more down some other time, later.

What's with this???
Okay, I know most about everyone in the world loves christmas and love the being with there family. But what I don't understand is there's is a county near where I live at can't have Christmas Trees cause it has the name Christ in it. Yeah it dose, Christmas is when baby Jesus is born under the norhtren star which means it's on top of the tree and the gifts means the gifts that the 3 wise men gave to Jesus. Iblame it on the otherrelegionslike the pope he is a maigrian to me and I know where he could put his hat but it's not pleasent, so HA HA HA. Why sould we give up something that we love for someone elses happiness cause they don't believe in our God, I mean, people need to just leave truditions alone and stop making people sad. I'm mad cause I like PUTTING UP THE CHRISTMAS TREE!!! Geez, the pope is stuck on hisself....I HATE HIM!!! Excuse me *sigh* I'm glad that we can put up CHRISTmas trees in our county and I like peeping at my presents...I'm sorry for my little outburst but I'm a Christian, I'm been saved 2 times and I'm a Rebel so I'm loud...
Thats all for now later

Hana's Thoughts About Stuff
Okay, in this I'll tell everyone how I feel about stuff, and trust meI'm one honest person and I tell the truth even if it hurts or not. I lived my life though ups and downs and hard times to the good and that peolpe is why I'm a good advisor and I always helping people out and I make sence out of stuff to. I sometimes joke around and just act sarcastic, thats who I'm am, people likes me cause I'm a easy person for them to talk to and not only that I'm a teachers pet ^-^, Okay HAHA I'm am a teachers pet and I don't see nothing wrong with that, it's fun having teachers liking you and they let you get less work, depending on who's your teacher is. Music to me is great, I love to listen to rock & roll,fun and soft music, and I think music really like sound tracks from DMC, FF7-13, gundam seed, and Kingdom Hearts, and I really think music is something people could show how they think andfeel inside. Okay, thats enough for me, Bye

Access "Boost performance; transform your enterprise "
This article is part of the June 2012, Iss. 3 issue of Strategic ways to use mobility and BPM integration for a competitive edge
All and now. Those words sum up two of the biggest demands from today's employees. Increasingly mobile users want the world and they want it now. In response, IT must provide high-performance architecture that meets those hefty demands—and, of course, provides value to the business as well. "We are beyond the age of just information and now into a world of enterprise transformation," said Vijay Thirumalai, managing partner at Streebo Inc., a provider of master data management and business intelligence consulting and implementation services. "Mobile is no longer an option; it has now become a business necessity." In his view, every function in an enterprise stands to benefit from a mobile platform's ubiquity. Salespeople can access information on the go, create new accounts in the field, fulfill orders faster and affect revenue, profitability and sales cycles. He describes advantages for marketing professionals as well: "Customer acquisition, promotions, personalization and customer experience are some of the immediate benefits for marketing in leveraging ...

Your help means a lot | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone in the community who has helped me.
I have to say — I got a little choked up. There were a number of opportunities to get that same overwhelming rush of emotions you feel when someone has done or is doing something extraordinary for you, and I want to thank everyone for their generosity. For the many wonderful donated services and items for the silent auction from so many local businesses to the people who came and participated in the show and auction.
Thank you everyone for the cards and donations and for just stopping by to say hello! It really means a lot to me. Thank you!

I happen to have my own guild and in the past 2-3 weeks I have been able to earn approximately 5M Guild XP. I do as many TB dailies as possible; they earn the most guild XP followed by cooking and fishing dailies in capital cities. Molten Front dailies also contribute a bit but I'm more interested in doing mount- and pet-related dailies so I don't always get to those. The only non-daily stuff I've done has been running 2s with a IRL friend that joined my guild b/c he has nothing better to do. Trying to level your guild like this is going to be near impossible; by the time you do it you can level a whole new toon and, with careful attention to the AH, regain much of your gold. Cheaper to move multiple alts if they are above 80.
If you have plenty of gold you're trying to move (ie close to cap), it might be worth paying people to do the 7 dungeons as guild challenges each week. You can make about 2.1 mil XP for these each week. My level 12 guild (purchased from a defunct group) is about 25M XP from leveling. It's gonna be awhile, but I plan to begin recruiting as the patch approaches.

Yes ... it's finally happening! Pippa Middleton is getting married, as she got engaged to her boyfriend Nico Jackson earlier this month. A source tells Us Weekly that Nico proposed to Pippa at India's Oberoi Amarvilas while they were vacationing there at the beginning of December.
The source describes the proposal as "very romantic and grand" -- and apparently it "was exactly how he planned it."
Aww. How sweet!
But gah. Why didn't this person dish on the juicy details a little bit more? I want to know exactly how the whole thing went down. But I guess since they haven't bothered to go public with the news themselves, we probably aren't going to get too much more info.
More from The Stir: Pippa Middleton Without Makeup Looks Surprisingly Different
Seriously, though, this is, like, the most exciting thing that's happened since Kate Middleton's royal wedding to Prince William. Supposedly the celebration will take place sometime in 2014, and I for one am already dying to see Pippa all dolled up on her big day.
I wonder what her dress will look like? Oh! And what about whatever Kate wears? She has to be Pippa's matron of honor, so you know she'll look nothing short of fabulous.
And I wonder what kind of hashtag or Twitter account Pippa will inspire as a bride? I mean, chances are it'll wind up being something pretty awesome, considering her bum took center stage during Kate and Will's nuptials.
Ooh! And maybe little Prince George will be walking by the time Aunt Pippa ties the knot? OMG. What if he winds up being the ring bearer in a cute little suit?
I'm getting way too carried away here. Congrats to Pippa and Nico!
Are you excited that Pippa is engaged?
Image via Handout/Getty
Us Weekly huh.....Is there an actual credible resource for this announcment?
Looks a nice couple.Feel sorry for her parents paying out for another wedding.Good luck to them.
Ist das wichtig ? Wem interessiert das ? Alles andere als bewegend ! Die Frau wäre doch komplett uninteressant, wenn da nicht ihre Schwester wäre. Und die sieht um Längen besser aus.....
I think she is gorgeous and it bugs me that people give her a hard time. She didn't marry into the royal family her sister did. She is young beautiful and foot loose and fancy free. Let her live her own life and do what she wants, she only has one. If it was the critics daughter or sister they would be up in arms. Give the girl a break for god sake. Plus on the car and gun saga she wasn't the one holding the plastic gun the person with her was. Prince Harry never got so much shit for being in the nude.

Requests For Accommodations Under The ADA
Definitions for DISABILITY: A mental or physical impairment that substantially limits at least one major life activity of an individual, a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment. The term does not include:
- A current condition of addiction to the use of alcohol, a drug, an illegal substance, or a federally controlled substance; or
- A currently communicable disease or infection as defined in Section 81.003, Health and Safety Code, or required to be reported under Section 81.041, Health and Safety Code, that constitutes a direct threat to the health or safety of other persons or that makes the affected unable to perform the duties of the person's employment.
Qualified Individual With A Disability: A person with a disability who satisfies the requisite skill, experience, education and other job-related requirements of the employment position such individual holds or desires, and who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of such position.
Undue Hardship: An action that is excessively costly, extensive, substantial, or disruptive or that would fundamentally alter the nature or operation of the business.
In determining undue hardship, factors to be considered include the nature and cost of the accommodation in relation to the size, the financial resources, the nature and structure of the employer's operation, as well as the impact of the accommodation on the specific facility providing the accommodation.
Processing Procedures
- The employee, student, fellow or resident requesting accommodation submits the appropriate
request for accommodation under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Employees submit Employee Request for Accommodation Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), form ADA-99, and students, fellows and residents submit Student/Resident Request for Accommodation Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), form ADA-100, with a copy of the current job description (if appropriate) to the Academic, Faculty and Student Ombudsperson & ADA Compliance Office and a copy to his/her immediate supervisor or if a student, fellow or resident the appropriate Associate Dean of their School and a copy to the ADA Coordinator.
- The Academic, Faculty and Student Ombudsperson & ADA Compliance Office will determine if additional medical information is needed and will furnish the individual with any forms/questionnaires necessary for the health care provider to complete.
- The Academic, Faculty and Student Ombudsperson & ADA Compliance Office will evaluate information to determine eligibility within the guidelines of the ADA and the ADAAA.
- The Academic, Faculty and Student Ombudsperson & ADA Compliance Office will then coordinate with the necessary institutional staff and the individual to identify the essential functions of the job or the program of study and determine whether there is an effective, reasonable accommodation that will enable the employee, student, fellow, post-doc or resident to perform those essential functions (interactive process).
- The Academic, Faculty and Student Ombudsperson & ADA Compliance Office will follow-up on the individual's status/progress on annual basis, or earlier as need arises.
Appeal Process
Reasonable accommodations under the ADA and ADAAA is an ongoing process. At any point in time, the individual receiving the reasonable accommodation may request a reevaluation of their request from the Academic, Faculty and Student Ombudsperson & ADA Compliance Office. At that point, the interactive process will be implemented in order to deal with any new requests and/or revisions to the initial requests.
All medical-related information shall be kept confidential and maintained separately from other personnel records. However, supervisors and managers may be advised of information necessary to make the determinations they are required to make in connection with a request for an accommodation. First aid and safety personnel may be informed, when appropriate, if the disability might require emergency treatment or if any specific procedures are needed in the case of fire or other evacuations. Government officials investigating compliance with the ADA and the ADAAA may also be provided relevant information as requested.

Smackdown Review
Two days away from Unforgiven, the Smackdown crew head over to Minneapolis Minnesota for what should be another great edition of Smackdown.
The main event confirmed for Smackdown is a clash between two former rivals, as Batista will go one on one with Mark Henry. The match was made after Batista saved his mentor Ric Flair from an attack by Mark Henry last week on Smackdown. With Mark Henry facing The Undertaker in two days time, will he be giving this match full focus?
Also last week a Fatal 4 Way match was made for the World Heavyweight Title because of Edges interference in the number 1 contender match and we will now see Edge defend his title against Kane, Finlay and Rey Mysterio at Unforgiven. Tonight we will see a warm up for that match as all four men will be in the same ring as Kane teams up with Rey Mysterio to take on Finlay and Edge. Who will get the momentum going into Unforgiven?
Also with their WWE Tag Team Championship match just two days away, MVP will be in the corner of Matt Hardy as Hardy goes one on one with William Regal. Also expect the ECW Originals v New Breed rivalry to continue to explode tonight just two days away from their 8 man tag Extreme Rules Match at Unforgiven.
So make sure to tune into the next edition of Smackdown, Friday Night at 8/7 CT on the CW Network.
Matches Confirmed
Batista v Mark Henry
Edge and Finlay v Kane and Rey Mysterio
Matt Hardy v William Regal
Expect both shows to be posted together around the 28th December. Also I would like to wish all my readers a happy Christmas

Productivity seekers intimidated by treadmill desks can now thank the Kickstarter gods for Cubii, an elliptical desk companion. Much like the fitness machine found at your local gym, Cubii is a low-impact way to feel like you're doing exercise. And, unlike treadmill desks, which can cost upwards of $1,000 and barely fit in a cubicle, Cubii slides right under your desk and retails for $350.
It's a pretty simple concept: To deter the effects of Sedentary Death Syndrome, just pedal. It comes with an app to track progress. (Of course it does.)

Most sleep experts would offer that aiming for between seven to nine hours of snooze time a night is optimal for feeling refreshed and productive the next day.

A new study shows that young children who are familiar with unhealthy food branding—McDonald's golden arches, Trix's silly rabbit, Burger King's crown—are more likely to be overweight than their brand-ignorant peers. Studies show that people who are overweight in childhood tend to stay that way.
The researchers tested two groups of three- to five-year-olds on their knowledge of fast food and processed food brands like McDonald's, Burger King, Coke, Pepsi, Fritos, and Doritos. They found that those who could correctly identify the sugar-and-grease-mongering logos tended to have higher body mass indexes (BMIs). "We found the relationship between brand knowledge and BMI to be quite robust," said Anna McAlister, an MSU assistant professor of advertising and public relations who was a member of the research team.

Is it possible to be moral without believing in God?
I would venture to say that moral is pretty much all there is without God. To be moral requires that we have some understanding of the rules governing our behavior and a willingness to live by those rules. I have pondered many times why someone has rules if they don't believe in God (though a culture without rules would be decidedly against anyone's self-interest). I was intrigued last night by a small news story in which a study at Yale's "Baby Lab," demonstrated that even young infants have some sense of right and wrong. I do not find this in the least surprising though some might conclude (yet again) that we have a "God gene" and are biologically wired to be religious.
I am convinced that we are indeed "wired" to be religious, both by nature and nurture. I am also convinced that such religion has nothing to do with God.
To say what I've said above is troubling for some. How can a priest be opposed to morality? Why would a priest say religion has nothing to do with God. Is he using the words and giving them special meanings?
I am indeed giving very specific meanings to the words "morality" and "religion" – though offering these re-definitions is not my private idea. It has become something of a commonplace in contemporary Orthodox writing.
Morality refers to adherence to external norms and criteria – with the emphasis on the word external. There is no need for a God in order to be moral. Perhaps the most moral government on earth is that of China (a self-professed atheist regime). Some would even describe the government as "prudish." Pornography and many other forms of immoral behavior are severely limited and punished in China, in a manner the West would never countenance.
Nothing is needed for morality other than rules. Those rules can be culturally imposed or privately imposed. It can generally be said that all people are moral: all of us have rules and expectations for our behavior and for others around us. It is frequently the case that these rules are attributed to God and to various divine sanctions. Morality is inherently religious.
Religion need have nothing to do with God (and rarely does). In contemporary Orthodox writing, the word "religion" is often used to describe a set of behaviors that are common across most religious traditions (and even non-religious). Those behaviors include the internalization of externals (rules and a sense of their necessity). Religion, in this sense, was described by Fr. Alexander Schmemann as concerned with "helping." It is a means of coping with the world and its problems through behaviors, customs, mores and the like. Religion, defined in such a manner, requires comparison, control, measurement and standards. But it does not require God. For such a set of life-practices to gain optimal force, invoking the idea of God is important. No rule has as much force as one initiated by God.
The conflict between Christ and the Pharisees (a highly religious sect) frequently revolved around the conflict with religion and morality. Christ notes their concern for outward things (cleansing vessels, ritually correct clothing, etc.) and their neglect of inward things (mercy, judgment, faith). The religious use of rules were very effective in condemning God to death.
Orthodox Christianity has no immunity in this matter. Its own traditions involving ritual, fasts, and other externals are easily misused. In my experience they are no more prone to abuse than the religious impulse that exists everywhere. There are those who condemn certain outward religious expressions as a matter of course, as though the problem were with externals themselves. But the problem is a human matter – a disease of the inner life.
The disease of religion (and morality) is found in the absence of God. Religious systems, arranged for controlling human behavior and managing our neurotic desire to manipulate the universe, find the concept of God to be extremely useful. Nothing grants ultimacy to any scheme as well as the divine Ultimate. But such religion does not require a real God – indeed a real God brings about the destruction of such neurotic systems.
This is the great struggle of true Christianity. It is not a struggle against ignorance or unbelief. The greatest struggle of the faith is with the perversion of faith – the neurotic grasp for godlike power with its inherent enmity toward the true God.
Christ draws a focus on this struggle in his teachings that urge us to lose. "Whoever would lose his life will save it," we are told. It is the strangely counter-intuitive character of true faith that the desire for religion must be lost. We cannot know God through our excellence and our moral achievement. The nature of grace finds its abundance in the empty heart.
The virtues of humility and love require the loss of self and the yielding of room to the other. In such a life, there is no room for religion. A saving relationship with God is not marked by correct behavior and adherence to norms – it is marked by the indwelling presence of God and a change in the very core of a man's being. We are not taught to act like God, but to be changed into His image.
The external traditions of faith are not inimical to this inner change – indeed they have been given to us as instruments in the life of change. But every heart will be tried in its attempts to take up the externals. For the one who seeks to justify himself, the externals (whatever their shape) will become the instruments of idolatry. For the one who seeks to lose himself and find God, every external will yield its treasure and become a point of revelation.
May God deliver us from moral men and grant us to be changed.

Father Stephen: Oddly enough, it is within Evangelicalism that the word religion is used in a derogatory manner. Think of the video that came out on YouTube earlier this year titled, "Why I Hate Religion, but Love Jesus." On the contrary, I've heard the word used within Orthodoxy in a rather optimistic manner. In fact, various Orthodox bloggers took issue with that video and its dissing of religion. I don't think it profits us Orthodox to disparage the word religion. That is just falling prey to the popular Evangelical culture in particular and secularism in general.
Interesting. I agree that faith in the divine is unnecessary for morality, though faith that one's fellows share one's own values and will abide by them makes it easier to practice what one preaches. So faith of a sort may be behind all morality.
The most troubling example of the relation between faith and morality is the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mt. Moriah. Abraham's faith led him to attempt the ritual slaughter of his young son, an act which almost any self-identified descendent (spiritual or biological) of his would call immoral before or after that instance.
If I can be moral without faith in the divine and an intense faith can actually drive me to murderous immorality, of which ought I be more wary?
Was God offering His own son up to an even more odious death that what Isaac faced also immoral?
Kinda proves the point about the literal, linear, 'real' interpretation of scripture vs. the Christologic interpretation. Once Christ's Incarnation and Sacrifice as the lamb of God has been revealed, the story of Abraham and Isaac becomes crystal clear. IMO it also delineates the moral from the kenotic.
Morality and so called relgion suffer not from excess, but from the attempt to restrict both the mercy of God and the size of the human heart.
Darlene, I'm with you on this too. There is false relgion, but also authentic relgion but to be fair, it only takes us so far. Most of us need it however because we are the maimed the halt and the lame.
I don't believe a person who needs no crutch should look down on those who do need it. God commands us to worship and use certain forms. The problem lies in making the forms idols instead of allowing them to be icons. Only an iconoclast abandons the forms altogether thinking he gets closer to God by doing so.
This reminded me of the saying:
We cannot abandon the "scafolding" that is needed to build our house, in the knowledge that is not the house. But, we cannot foolishly think it is part of the house either…It is nothing but temporary scaffolding.
I think an essential part of the puzzle if missing, although I find the post in its entirety to be brilliant. The missing part is that though we are not to taught to act like God but to be transformed into his image…being transformed into his image looks an awful lot like acting like God. Acting comes after becoming but it must come, otherwise I would question the becoming.
I, too, watched the story about the "Baby Lab" and what occurred to me came from the presented idea that babies can tell who is "like" them and who is their "other." The conclusion was that babies are "little bigots" (said lightheartedly twice in the story, but my brain got stuck on that) who will usually prefer those who are like them and will usually actively choose against those who are unlike them. I'm no scientist but the problem/solution seemed pretty simple to me, in the end: as long as we know all people on earth are much more similar than they are different, maybe any of our "natural" bias (the little bigots within — wow that sounds odd) can be smoothed over enough to stop being such immature, merely moral actors. Because knee-jerk moralism annoys me no end. And it made sense to see a 3-month-old doing what adults routinely do, simply decide what's right/wrong by the first appearance of things and stubbornly stick with that judgment.
(For those who watched the "Baby Lab" program, what if the stuffed animal who was forcing the box closed was saving them from a pit viper? I had no idea. The baby had no idea. And there we are.)
I love that you keep writing about morality, Fr. Stephen. Thank you.
As I am I am converted by Christ's presence in me more and more to His likeness, I find that act of kindness that I do are not so much conscious act of my will but automatic reactions to the situation before me.
You write, "We are not taught to act like God, but to be changed into His image."
But St. Paul says, "Be ye imitators of God."
How do we change but through action, imitation, aided of course by the Spirit of God?
One of the things that got Nietzche about Christianity or more specifically his father's Christianity was its empty banal morality which at the same time (to him) celebrated weakness. He has a point, how do we embrace the Cross at all if morality is the gauge?
By being crucified with Christ and resurrected with Him that the life that you live is Christ's life lived in you.
It just seems to me that change requires action (albeit in concert with the grace of the Spirit). Some actions are godly while others are ungoldy. When I say that something is "moral," I simply mean that it is godly; when I say that something is "immoral," I simply mean that it is ungodly.
I have no idea what morality for God would be, so I can't answer the question about comparing the sacrifice of Christ with the attempted sacrifice of Isaac. I can deal with the Moriah story as a struggle for faith, but it doesn't tell me much about the relationship between two persons of the Trinity, as they presumably knew exactly what they were doing and why. Of course, the humanity of one person seemed a bit confused, by many accounts, but that's getting into linear thinking again. Maybe I should watch Slaughterouse 5 a few more times until I get it. (Being facetious: I'm sure I'll never get it)
"Fr. Alexander Schmemann used the word in the manner I do here as early as the 1970′s."
Maybe that's part of the problem. This notion that "religion" is bad and hollow (and "phony") strikes me as something very … 1960s, 1970s. Very Boomerish. I look around my generation and I see people who would profit from simply attending church once a week, however half-heartedly. Given the thorough depravity of my generation, I have trouble rejecting "bourgeois religion" in toto, even with its myriad hypocrisies. It's not ideal, but it's not entirely useless and contemptible.
Then again, I could be missing the heart of what you're saying…It wouldn't be the first time.
I'm not sure the godly/ungodly dichotomy is true at all. Some actions look "bad" or "good" but are actually the other. Or neither. But then I still think all things are good, because they're created, so it's man who perverts or corrupts anything. And all can be redeemed.
It's not a mathematical or scientific proof, to be "got." It's what St. Ephrem calls a "raza," a mystery-symbol. A type. It reveals the providence and beneficence of the Father, who provides His own Son, giving Him over to death so that we might live. Christ is the ram caught in the thicket of thorns. He is killed upon the wooden altar, which prefigures the cross.
"The task of a priest (and any Christian) isn't necessarily to excoriate this kind of "religion," but certainly to challenge it, and help people move deeper into true faith and saving relationship."
This I agree with.
I wholeheartedly agree and very often have this very same complaint regarding people's secularised notions concerning Christianity. The "religionization" of Christianity creates a watered-down caricature of a Faith that inspires Martyrs.
All this reminds me of Kierkegaard's statement that the Knight of Faith seems anything but religious or spiritual to the world at large. I also remember Paul told the Athenians they were "very religious" (KJV – "superstitious") I don't know if he meant it as a compliment.
Methinks Paul's words had manifold meaning.
Thank you for your post. I seem to understand what you mean but then I'm over seventy and over theyears have seen many in churches bustling about doing good to others. (There is a joke that you can tell the others by their hunted expressions. )
Most clergy are regularly trying to get your point across, in Anglican congregations at least, and now after many years I'm beginning to get a hold of it!
Nothing is needed for morality other than rules…Morality is inherently religious.
Oh! No. Please don't take that position. I tell you the truth that I have found more honest, moral people in the atheist world than I ever knew in church. It has nothing to do with rules. It has everything to do with wanting to be a decent human being. That begins with not lying to impress others, a prerequisite in just about every church I have attended.
As you write, philosophy teaches morality doesn't require religion, but religion does tend to incorporate morality. Faith is something deeper and involves more complexity than rules allow but isn't a squishy "everything's okay" either.
Wonder that it doesn't begin with a sense of freedom, but freedom that sits on the knife edge as it does in Genesis.. right at the beginning. Like to ascribe this to Christianity, but my typically blotto memory recalls some Ancient wisdom – possibly Laos Tsu – saying in effect that "The man of virtue knows when it is not virtuous to continue to act in accord with virtue." In part, I think this packs the difficulty of expression tighter… though misses much as well. What it does do is illuminate that if we have a love for Christ, we need to work harder to find the light of Christ in all of this somewhere in the heart… rather than in rules, customs, rituals, etc. And yet these do feed our love just as on coming home a smile from our beloved warms the heart. Small things… but easy to confuse. And we do.
"The man of virtue knows when it is not virtuous to continue to act in accord with virtue."
It seems difficult for a Christian to affirm this statement, so long as "virtue" is properly understood as Christlikeness.
PJ: You're on the right track: there's an intended "Confucian" equivocation in the use of the term in the 1st and 2nd uses which are consistent "true virtue" versus the 3rd use of the word as "nominal virtue". Pharisaic definition of virtue was inflexible which seems consistent with virtue as defined by ritual purity.
Fr. Stephen,
By rough count, the average number of comments per post are climbing toward 50 (if that number isn't already outdated). What about the idea of numbering the comments? That way I can bookmark where I end one day and more quickly be able to take it up the next morning.
Just a thought, drewster
Hi Drewster – If you refresh the page and go to the top and click on your "Most Recent Comment" you will see that the URL ends in "/2012/11/19/godless-morality/#comment-66785″. You can copy that URL and save it in a Text file then paste it back into your browser to start where you left off.
Thanks John,
That is a neat trick, but you and I are techno-geeks and I was speaking with my "public" voice, for the benefit of those who can't or won't go for something like that. (grin)
Having said that, I will start keeping a text file. Thanks again.
Fr. Stephen,
I love this topic but I recognize that it's difficult to put into words. Because of that I'm going to try to use a word picture to rephrase what you said – drawing partly from James TTH and Dinoship:
The word religion, as you're using it here, is like a house. It is built, changed, etc. according to the desires of the Owner. We help Him build it. Much could be said about this analogy but I would soon lose my audience and my point.
The important point is that religion (as used here) is the structure, the furnishings, the add-ons, the content. They aren't permanent. The people give the house life and make it a home. They alone are permanent.
And of course God is their source and meant to be the center of their life. He may (will) remodel, change furniture, tear down and rebuild, etc. This is to be expected. But too easily we cling to our favorite album, the chair we got from Aunt Mabel, the kitchen that so many good things happened in. But these are not what counts.
The OT gave us the commandments. Plenty of structure. But structure alone is dead and not enough. We need the life of Christ that makes all things new – and in fact will change the structure that we've built over our lifetimes.
We need religion (structure). Religion isn't bad and is in fact necessary, but anything put ahead of Christ becomes an idol and becomes dead to us. Thus the danger of religion for Christians – and many other religious groups.

By the way Fr. Stephen, I like the picture you chose for this post. What was your thought behind it? If you have time to address this.
What is there to say to the people who propose a better society without God? They obviously can have morality. They also have scientific progress on their side, knowledge and a supposed measure for everything (even for feelings, sensations, perceptions, etc.). And, concerning "the soul" and its needs (which they won't accept as existing), they have a set of… personal objectives (I was about to call them beliefs or creeds). They won't agree that their lives would not be beautiful in such a world. Their only problem is with narrow-minded believers, who stand in the path of progress (I strongly disagree with this – I myself enjoy studying, learning, improving but still believe in God; Leonhard Euler, the great mathematician, was, supposedly, a devout Christian; his findings are of colossal importance to several branches of science; its beyond my understanding how they can seriously promote an idea like this).
And my country's past supports such a view… There was a certain prosperity, and it was not linked by people to any idea of God, but to the leadership of the communists, of man and matter. And in the present, things are growing worse, economically, in a time of freedom (including the freedom to believe), all the more reason for people to become nostalgic about the material stability communism offered (and I cannot disagree that communism hasn't had it's great feats – as was mentioned in this article: the atheist regime in China puts the Christian state to shame regarding morality…).
Atheists do not consider that the failure of the communist-atheist utopia is relevant. (They don't even consider communism to have been purely atheist.)
My response to them was (but I was incapable of helping them understand this position) that we already live in an atheist/secular world, and the results are clear.
PS: I think its just horrifying that the truth about marxism/communism is not yet known or accepted… From what I know, it was atheist, at least at a certain stage. I'm not an historian, but is this not true? Some atheists also blamed marxism on the Church and said that it also strongly resembled a religion (and by saying this, they weren't just criticizing the wrongdoings of Church-leaders, but faith in God in general). This relativism is tormenting. I don't know what or where to read to find the truth. It just seems like science is only what they want it to be. If I read facts from the wrong source, it is not the truth, it is not science. It becomes theistic propaganda.
Thanks in advance, for understanding me… I have a lot of questions from my past encounters with atheists, and I don't even know where to search. I do not trust their "scientific" facts… And, of course, if I read any materials my fellow Orthodox Christians offer me, they will be deemed theistic propaganda.
May God help us be wiser.
Sorry for the long posts…

What you are looking at is a flesh flower from Heidi Hatry's new photography exhibit, "Not A Rose." The collection, on display at NYC's Stux Gallery, features images of flowers made from "grotesque, immaculately manicured flesh debris and picturesque, nonchalant nature." Meaning, her floral arrangements are made from offal and sex organs of deceased animals. This beautiful nightmare is an "immaculately manicured" cow vagina with a sheep penis center. GROTESQUE.

When Amy Lowell died suddenly in May of 1925 she was arguably the most powerful woman in American poetry. During a brief and intense career, beginning with the publication of her first volume of poetry in 1912 and lasting until her death 13 years later at the age of 51, she produced six volumes of poetry, two volumes of criticism, a two-volume biography of John Keats, and countless articles and reviews. Three more volumes of poetry were published posthumously, the first of which, What's O'Clock, won the 1926 Pulitzer Prize. Since her death, however, she has become little more than a footnote to discussions of more canonical modern poets like Ezra Pound and Robert Frost, and her own work, out of print since 1957, is rarely anthologized and seldom discussed in literary criticism.
The youngest of Augustus and Katherine Lowell's five children, Amy Lowell inherited a name synonymous with power and wealth. The Lowells dominated industry and the arts in Massachusetts from the arrival of the first family member, a British merchant named Percival Lowle, in 1639. Poets James Russell Lowell and Robert Lowell were both distant relations. Although Lowell's lifetime coincides with first-wave feminism, the gains made by women's rights advocates came slowly, if at all, to women in the Lowell family. Lowell's frustration with the limitations placed upon her gender is a frequent theme in her childhood journals and makes sporadic appearances in her poetry as well, most notably in "The Sisters," a meditation on female poets, and "Patterns," in which a woman's tight, corseted clothing represents her repressed sexuality:
Not a softness anywhere about me, Only whalebone and brocade. And I sink on a seat in the shade Of a lime tree. For my passion Wars against the stiff brocade.
Shortly after the publication of her first book, A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass (1912), Lowell read the poems of "H.D. Imagiste" in the January 1913 issue of Harriet Monroe's Poetry. The Imagists, a small, loosely-joined group of poets who aligned themselves against "the moralizing, tendentious whinings of the Victorians and the arid and tiresome laudations of the Georgians," strove for a new form of poetic expression, one which stressed the creation of concise, vivid images, not the evocation of sentiment (Heymann, 1980). Lowell recognized in their writings some of the techniques she herself was trying to perfect. Later that year she traveled to England to meet the poets writing under this banner: Ezra Pound, H.D., and Richard Aldington. Enthusiastic about their work and eager to join their movement, she shared her poetry with them. Pound included one of her poems in his 1914 anthology Des Imagistes but by the next year had disowned the movement, which he claimed had deteriorated into overly sentimental Amygism.
Lowell, undeterred by Pound's disapproval, determined to bring the struggling poets she had met in England to the American public's attention. For three consecutive years, 1915, 1916, and 1917, she edited Some Imagist Poets, featuring poems by H.D., Aldington, D.H. Lawrence, F.S. Flint, John Gould Fletcher, and herself. At the same time she began a publicity campaign to teach the general public the principles of Imagism and Modern poetry. For the rest of her life she spent a great portion of each year touring the country giving lectures and readings, prompting T.S. Eliot to label her a "demon saleswoman" (Heymann, 1980). These were controversial events, more often than not ending with conservative critics accusing her of attempting to destroy poetry; on one occasion they even "charged the podium, demanding that Amy step down."
While Lowell's first book was neither a critical nor commercial success, her next book, Sword Blades and Poppy Seed (1914), garnered both critical acclaim and public enthusiasm. This volume also showed Lowell to be an exceptionally versatile poet: made up of Imagist lyrics, ballads, and dramatic monologues in which she experiments with free verse, it included several poems written in what she called polyphonic prose, a form of poetry that looks like prose but employs poetic tools such as rhyme, cadence, alliteration, and assonance.
With her next book, Men, Women, and Ghosts (1916), Lowell began to separate her long, narrative and descriptive poems from her shorter lyrical poems. Whereas this volume consists entirely of narrative monologues, and her next, Can Grande's Castle (1918), consists of four novella-length studies of war, Pictures of the Floating World (1919) is made up solely of lyrics. In Legends (1921) Lowell retold and reinterpreted folk tales from several different cultures, while in Fir-Flower Tablets (1921) she collaborated with Florence Ascough in translating Chinese poetry. A Critical Fable (1922), originally published anonymously, parodied the styles and careers of her fellow poets. After her death in 1925 the remainder of her poems was published in three volumes: the first two, What's O'Clock (1925) and East Wind (1926), had been prepared by Lowell before her death; Lowell's companion and literary executor Ada Dwyer Russell assembled and edited Ballads for Sale (1927) from the poems left uncollected.
In addition to poetry Lowell produced several volumes of literary criticism. With Six French Poets (1915) she introduced her favorite contemporary French poets to American audiences. In Tendencies in Modern American Poetry (1917), a study of six contemporary poets (Edwin Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost, Edgar Lee Masters, Carl Sandburg, H.D., and John Gould Fletcher) Lowell created a critical genealogy of modern poetry, ending, of course, with Imagism. Finally, she wrote a massive two volume biography of John Keats (1925), published just months before her death. Ferris Greenslet collected several of her most popular articles and lectures and published them posthumously in Poetry and Poets (1930).
Critical evaluations of Lowell have radically shifted. During her lifetime she was praised for her work in polyphonic prose; Can Grande's Castle in particular was regarded as a masterpiece. Feminist critics such as Lillian Faderman and Judy Grahn initiated re- readings of her work, focusing their attention primarily on her lyrical poetry, especially the love lyrics written for Ada Dwyer Russell, such as "Madonna of the Evening Flowers," "The Weather-Cock Points South," and "Venus Transiens."

Some call it skill. Some call it hand-eye coordination.
Tim Thomas calls it luck.
"Partial luck," said the grinning Boston Bruins goaltender, looking out over a crowd of reporters.
That self-described luck came in the form of one particular save of the 33 total Thomas made in the Bruins' 3-1 Game 5 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night, that enabled them to take a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Late in the third period with the Bruins clinging to a one goal lead, a point shot went wide of the Bruins goal and took a trampoline bounce off the end boards dropping right onto the stick blade of the Tampa Bay Lightning's Steve Downie.
"I saw it was going wide and I was out toward the top of the crease, so I didn't have time to get my whole body back," explained Thomas. "With the way the new boards are now-a-days in all the arenas, you've got to be on your toes with the big bounces and the big bounce came out and, you know, it was just a reaction and a desperation and I'll admit I got a little bit lucky there."
Thomas dove back stick first towards the post in a last ditch effort to break up a shot and got his stick's paddle down on the puck with a sure path for the back of the net.
"I was sitting on the bench and I thought it was for sure going to be a goal, those are always pretty easy tap ins, but Timmy came up with an unbelievable save," said Bruins forward Brad Marchand, who scored with four minutes remaining in the second period to give Boston a 2-1 lead.
The Bruins stumbled out of the gates as the Lightning's Simon Gagne scored just a minute into the first period on a fast break two on one along with Steven Stamkos. The Bruins remained on their heels throughout the first frame of play being out shot, 14-4.
For Thomas, who was the difference-maker with the Bruins getting out-shot 34-20, the slow start didn't stop him from getting settled in.
"The thought crosses your mind that, oh, I've got to bear down even if it's another two-on-one, I've got to find a way to make the save because we can't afford to go down 2-0. The teams are too tight and the games are too tight for that to happen, so that thought is in there," said Thomas as he explained his mindset following the early Lightning goal.
"The second thing that happens is actually in a funny way to start to relax a little bit, and I don't know how it works but it kind of works that way for me. I don't want to let in an early goal, obviously, but I've had experience with it in the past and for some reason, sometimes it can relax me and that's kind of the effect it had tonight."
Thomas went on to stop the final 33 shots he saw, and in turn helped his team right the ship.
"He seems to be so calm out there, and even the last half of the game you saw some of the saves he was making and you kind of look at him and you get a sense of confidence just from the way he stands there and he's just so poised and calm in situations like that," said Marchand, explaining how the play of Thomas affects the whole team.
"I think that's why he's such a great goalie, in those big moments when you need him he's calm and relaxed and he's confident and that's big for us."
And as far as Thomas looking ahead, the Vezina candidate isn't getting to ahead of himself.
"The is fact that we're one win away from the Stanley Cup Finals, but that isn't what we need to focus on and that isn't really what I'm thinking about," said Thomas. "We need to focus on just playing the next game as good as we can and trying to get one win and not look at it like one win gets us to the Stanley Cup Finals but just more like approach it the same way we have most of these playoffs and kind of keep it simple"

Found March 31, 2013 on Suicide Squeeze:
PLAYERS: Buster Posey, Joe Mauer, Scott Cousins, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Madison Bumgarner, Ryan Vogelsong, Barry Zito
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels
Buster Posey will be counted on to lead the Giants for the next several years. Tools of ignorance indeed. Try telling that to Giants catcher Buster Posey. He just signed a nine-year, $167 million contract extension. It's the largest guaranteed contract in history for a player with three or fewer years of major league experience. Posey rebounded from an horrific injury in 2011 to lead the National League in batting in 2012 with a .336 average, becoming only the third catcher in major league history to win a batting title. Bubbles Hargrave hit .353 for the 1926 Reds, while Twins catcher Joe Mauer has won three batting crowns (2006, 2008 & 2009). Posey entered the big leagues for good in 2010 as one of the most highly-touted prospects of the last decade. He was the fifth overall pick of the 2008 draft, and hasn't disappointed. He was named the NL Rookie of the Year in 2010, hitting .305 with 18 home runs 67 RBI and an OPS of .862. On May 25, 2011 Posey was involved in a violent collision with the Marlins' Scott Cousins as he tried to block the plate as Cousins scored the winning run in the 12th inning of a 7-6 win. Posey ended up with a broken left ankle and missed the rest of the season. At the time he was hitting .284 with 4 homers and 21 RBI. Last season Posey posted career highs with his .336 average, 24 homers and 103 RBI. He led the league in OPS+ at 172 (OPS+ is a player's on-base plus slugging percentage as adjusted for ballpark and league variables. The average is 100.). Posey turned 26 on March 27, so his best years are unquestionably ahead of him. With him behind the plate calling pitches for the Giants' rotation of Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Madison Bumgarner, Ryan Vogelsong and Barry Zito, the Giants have won the World Series two of the last three years. At some point during the duration of his contract he'll be switched to first base, but if he can continue to stay healthy and guide the Giants' staff, he may get enough World Series rings to fill a hand. To quote the 18th century British poet Thomas Gray: "Ignorance is bliss." This article has been read (13) times

ResortQuest to expand
Date: February 10, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Larry Starr, president of ResortQuest International's Southwest Florida division, says that the vacation-rental company is in expansion mode.
According to Starr, within the next 30 to 60 days, the company will move into the space at 6350 Gulf of Mexico Drive, where Engel & Völkers Longboat Key and Sun Resorts International are currently located, to serve its north-Key rentals. The company will add a total of up to four offices in the next year, including locations on Anna Maria Island and Siesta and Lido keys, while remaining in its main office at 4030 Gulf of Mexico Drive.
Ray Alexander, president/broker of Engel & Völkers Longboat Key and Engel & Völkers Anna Maria, was not available for comment Tuesday afternoon.
Starr said that the need for short-term rentals has increased throughout the past decade, not just on Longboat Key and its adjacent islands but throughout the entire tourism industry. Approximately 10 years ago, the average length of stay was approximately 45 days; now, it is just one or two weeks.
"There remain guests who stay on the island for 90 days, but the trend is most certainly toward shorter stays," Starr said. "People are taking more vacations of a shorter duration."
Starr said that the need for short-term rentals has been pronounced in recent years, beginning with the closure of the Longboat Key Holiday Inn in 2000. Last fall's suspension of hotel operations at The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort, which has since reopened 73 of its 232 units, created more need. According to Starr, ResortQuest has just three rentals out of hundreds of properties in its inventory available for a span of 10 days before to 10 days after Easter.
"When that happens, it breaks the cycle," Starr said. "A visitor comes here to stay short-term and eventually buys here … it's not good to be short on vacation rental units."
ResortQuest will also add vacation properties to its inventory, in part because of the slow real-estate market.
"What we're finding is that people who bought a condominium and thought they were going to sell it have found that they're going to hold on for a while and are turning to rentals to generate income until the time comes to move into it or sell it for a price that's more in line with what they paid for it," Starr said. "I believe that will be a trend for the next year or two."
ResortQuest currently operates the Silver Sands, Cabana Beach Club and The Beach resorts, on Longboat Key, and Beach Club and Sunrise Garden resorts, on Anna Maria Island. ResortQuest's Southwest Florida division serves Lee County through Pinellas County.

- It is a shame that all those vacationers will come to LBK only to find they cannot use their cell phones and pdas. Without better cell phone coverage these short term renters will be one time only visitors. They will find another place to spend their tourism dollars where they can stay in touch with friends, family and employers.

Thanks for what?
"I thought we might . . ." I am sitting in my friend's bedroom. He's struggling to say something but I'm not sure what he has in mind so I smile to encourage him. Eventually he says, "Maybe we could do some bread and wine. Eucharist."
I hadn't seen my friend for two years. It breaks my heart to see him like this.
Once he was a renaissance man. He played jazz: we used to go out for a drink and he'd sidle up to the band and offer his services at the piano and take the saxophonist to the cleaners. He taught public school: he challenged at-risk youth to write poems, to believe in themselves and share the glory of literature. He climbed mountains, he painted, he played guitar, he baked. He even knitted. His piercing, intense brown eyes listened to you as if you were the only one in the world. He was handsome, tall, charming: if he ever asked a beautiful woman up to see his etchings, she'd have been a fool not to go.
