Humanity Is Better Than This, God Bless You London, England!

Since 9/11 America, and the world, have been more cautious about going about, but they have still gone. Defied the threat of violence and have been determined to live their lives as they always should - free and determinedly. As everyone in the blogosphere knows, London, England was attacked today by terrorists and lives have been changed.

I was not in New York when the events of 9/11 transpired, and I was not in London today, but I feel the same: shock, sorrow, anger, and shame - shame humanity can behave so horribly barbaric towards one another under the guise of anything, most of all religion. Yes, I know this has been a favorite theme in history - God is on our side so we are right and can afflict damage and mayhem on anyone in order to make it right with God. The Christians have done it, the Muslims have done it, and how many other religions have reached out, under the guise of making a better world, and attacked the innocent? One time is far too many.

For argument's sake, lets assume God is real. God exists regardless of what you believe. If God exists and is a kind and loving God, then what do you suppose He is experiencing right now?

Growing up in the hills of Kentucky I was always taught to live honorably and be who I am and proud of that. I was taught to never be a coward, because cowards did things to other people behind their backs. If you have a beef with someone, go to that person, don't hurt their dog or make their kids cry. Be a person, stand up and do what you need to do! This act in London is a cowardly one. What honor is there? OK, so someone might be ready to die for their cause - they why not stand up, point blank before destroying anything, state it, and give the people a chance to fight back. Are you so afraid of dying that you won't dare to be truly honorable?

These terrorists are a frightened faction who wish to cause people to fear more than do, because if that happens, then there will be someone lower than them.

Let us not fear.

Let us be free, and in our freedom take responsibility for what we do.
