Love one another? Now this is hard, but ok I can do it!

So, I really need to starting venting my frustrations, my fears, my laughs... by all means, I am not afraid to speak my mind. I just need to put content like this out there, out here into cyber land, and RELEASE it.  So that I am no longer bottling it up inside. 

I love Facebook.  I love hearing from people, staying in contact with them, and hearing what is on people's minds.  That being said, I am friends with a lot of different people, from all walks of life and many that I "agree to disagree" with.  One good old family friend that I am friends with posts a lot of her thoughts, feelings, opinions.  And, rightfully so!  This is a free country (supposedly) and we all have a right to voice our opinions.  I read some of her posts and I must say I just have to laugh most of the time.  I disagree with her SO much.  She is the definition of the self-righteous "Christian".  Now, I put Christian in parenthesis because I love Christianity, I love Jesus, I see the beauty in that religion.  But like Ghandi said

"I like your Christ.  I do not like your Christians.  Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

I can really relate to this quote, on many levels.  Some of the Christians I have met are some of thee most judgemental people, and act as if Heaven is a special club ONLY for them and the rest of us are damned to hell for eternity.  They will do or say anything to make you feel smaller than them.  Since they have a one way ticket to heaven they feel so sorry for you because you are destined to HELL.  I posted a quote on facebook awhile back about the Dalai Lama-

"This is my simple religion.  There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.  Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."

She replied back that she was going to pray for me and that she felt very sorry for me **BIG SIGH** oh this hurt... so I replied back after thinking of many mean egoish things to say "Thank you :)  I will pray for you too, we all need love don't we?"  I feel with that comment I rose to my highest good, but my ego was very wounded.

This kind of behavior is not just a trait for Christianity, this is a human trait found in many religions and in all walks of life.  I use Christianity as an example because in my life, this is my lesson, so this is what I see.  This kind of thinking comes from a place of fear, and that is very forgivable, all negative acts are.  To combat these kind of demons, this kind of fear we must only combat them with LOVE.  It is really true when people say love is the only answer.  LOVE IS THE ANSWER to every problem.  She comes from a place of love, everyone always does.  Fear is merely a lack of love.  Judgement is a lack of love.

So, last night I jump on Facebook to see what I could see.  First thing I see is this post "Christians are still around, where are the druids, who built Stonehenge around the winter solstice."
Oh, this one cut deep.  A lot of my past lives are in Ireland and Scotland.  I love Stonehenge with every breath of my soul.  My very soul belongs there, that is home to me.  Not Meghan of course, but my real self, my higher self.  I AM a druid, I have been a druid before.  This is as real to me as the Sun comes up in the morning.  So, this hurt. Really bad.  I remember what happened, and why the Earth, Sun and Sky are no longer loved and celebrated like they were.

So, my ego started thinking really nasty, human thoughts.  "WELL missy, I know why they aren't around any longer!  Christians KILLED them all!  Or FORCED them to convert, against their will!  Witch hunts, if anyone was caught enjoying nature, they were slaughtered!  Look it up!!!! Second of all they have passed on into the afterlife!  Just like the Christians who built Saint Peter's Basilica or any of the old churches!  Its called mortality!!!!!!!  That was hundreds of years ago!  aaaaaaaaaaaaaand there are millions of Pagans all around the world!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, in fact, there are thousands of Pagans and Druids who still celebrate there Every. Winter. Solstice.

Ohhhh, I got mad, scary mad.  But, you know it feels sooo good to get that stuff out.  FEEL your pain, so you can move through and then move on.  I wanted to defriend her immediately, but I didn't.  Then I was going to post on my FB page

"Go ahead and pray for me and I will dance naked in the forest for you"

...and then I was going to post on her page "I Love You" ...but, I didn't think that would be sincere, just condescending.  So, in the end I did nothing.  Just forgave her in my heart, because, in the end she did nothing wrong.

UPDATE:  Ok, I did it, I posted on her status.  This is what I said--> "there are thousands of people that still celebrate the Solstice at Stonehenge every year. Stonehenge is a very sacred site to millions of people all over the world, and is a beautiful prehistoric monument that was built by our highly intelligent ancestors. You should research what happened in the 1400-1500s in Europe, it is a very dark time in Christian history, when thousands were tortured and killed for the smallest crimes, mostly women."
I just couldn't let this slide, it had been bothering me all day.  So, I cooled my jets and I feel that my response wasn't being too mean, just assertive and informative.... we are all allowed to voice our opinions, and so am I.
