The Bible Reveals Christianity is Built on a Lie!

By God, I think she's got it! Okay, uh, I really did not want to post another video in relation to religion (and spiritual related things). A little too serious (and deep) for allot of people to begin with, but I guess this is like a complimentary video to the one I discovered in my home feed on YouTube, that I posted to my previous blog post here, which I guess like, kicked off the algorithm for Melissa's channel. (And it is currently the Christmas season and all). With all that being said, yea, this instructional video by Melissa here REALLY hits the mark, even though I may not necessarily agree with EVERYTHING she says in ALL her videos, but this one absolutely confirms what I had mentioned in some of my other posts in relation to these things. She nails it! From what I have seen so far here. (Have not watched it in its entirety yet, at the time I am posting this). Basically and strongly inferring, that despite the many contradictions in the Bible (including the Hebrew Bible-the Christian Old Testament) mostly because it was written by individuals within different schools of thought for instance (primarily 4 different sources and schools of thought from what I understand) with most of the later and more progressive Hebrew prophets condemning some of the brutal teachings and stories within the Torah for instance, to initiate a particular agenda and narrative, and emphasizing what they strongly believed was really at the heart and will of God: Social Justice and compassion. (And what she believes was where Jesus was really at). Many of the bible passages she quotes for example, I was already aware of (and why I said some of the things I had said in previous posts in relation to this subject) because (from what I understand she was at before, herself) there was a period when I was much younger, where I myself thought I had found the meaning to life, when a musician friend had converted to Catholicism and invited me to play with him at a local prayer group within the Catholic Charismatic movement at the time. And being I am like the kind of person who puts everything I am into something (like when I used to practice like 4 hours a day on guitar and all as a kid and wanted learn everything I could about it), it was like the same thing with this stuff at the time. (But being a naturally sincere person to begin with, I also wanted to know the real truth behind anything). But anyway, VERY powerful stuff. (In fact, so powerful, it actually has the potential to change the world, in my strong opinion, and shed allot of light on allot of darkness). But of course, you have to be of that mindset, and many people will (and even deliberately) not get it. But for the few, that may benefit, I took a chance here to make this one public. (As I know there are allot of crazy people out there). But, as I said, I just had to take a chance, and just post this somewhere. "Too deep"...

Awesome, seemingly under-rated holiday music video...

Watch this if you think it's too late to make it in the music industry

In some spiritual circles, Perseverance is actually considered a virtue, from what I understand. In that case, I guess I would be considered a FREAKIN' SAINT!!! 

Only kiddin'. (But not really). I was quite impressed more then anything else however, with this girl, and the effort (and work) she seemed to put into this amazing pep talk. She seems like a really decent person. Good show. Nice kid...

Ya know, interestingly (on the other side of the fence) many of us also know the stories behind what is known as The 27 Club for instance. (Hmm?) Makes ya' think. Just sayin...

Hmm?

This song holds an interesting memory for me that I never really ever mentioned publicly before. The memory was when I was still living on Long Island and when I was still in my early 20's. Back then, you could pretty much send out unsolicited material to major record labels. It was in relation to a demo of a song I had recorded during the Arti Studio recording sessions. It seemed someone in relation to the A&R Dept. by the name of Michael Moriarity (not the actor) at I think it was either Capital or Columbia Records, seemingly had taken notice of the song, and made me an offer of fifty thousand dollars! To give him the rights to the song (and possibly even have us re-record it ourselves on his dime). Believe it or not. He wanted me to take a trip to Manhattan to meet up with him there. To make a long story short, I went with my long time, bass player friend Steve twice, but kept missing him. The day after the 2nd attempt to meet up with him (but missed him once again!) was when I heard this song on the radio for the first time in my car, while the whole affair was still on my mind. It totally blew me away, and actually thought that I was hearing things while I was listening to the lyrics in the song for like, the first time. We were still wet behind the ears back then, as the saying goes, and I was (although not stupid) still pretty naive when it came to things like this. Just thought it fit with this blog post. But, of course now, every time I hear this song by Paul McCartney, I recall that memory... 

Another funny thing that I don't think I will ever forget, was during one of our conversations on the phone, he had said that Ted Nugent had just walked in, as I could hear him stopping in the middle of our talk to say hello to him, and as he told me who it was! 

Interestingly, the name of the album that this song by McCartney is on (as one can see here) is actually called 'Tug of War'! You just can't make this sh*t up...

I will also never forget, was thinking that maybe some of the people at work had like, played a joke on me or somethin' (that's how crazy the whole thing was) but they kept emphatically denying it...

I actually missed this guy like 3 times really, because when I just came back home from the 2nd time that we went to Manhattan to meet up with him, my sister had just hung up the phone as I was walking in the door, and said that he had just called and asked for me, once again, but when I had called him back, there was no answer!

Also, really strange, was that every time I would attempt to call the phone number that this guy had provided, no one ever answered the phone! (It just kept ringing). Until I finally just gave up, and threw the phone number away...
