Thank you Mike. I shared your post and added the following: "In my career I downplayed my role until I had a mentor sit me down. He said "You have no idea the impact you have with the casual things you say in the role you are in." At the time, I did not realize what it meant to be a manager. I am not a manager now, but words, indeed, matter. Hateful words hurt and do not perpetuate the cause. Thoughtful words....I hope... might....just might.... make another think. All that I ask of you is to think. And then, if you can....share what you think.

Thank you as always for sharing, Mike. I continue to follow your journey toward healing. Much of my time is spent in the comfort zone, but I do have a voice and I do use it when I am feeling strength. Onward. Jane in Glendale

When Jesus said "get behind me Satan", Satan was the desire to live in agricultural societies with his disciples, and Jesus lay down his life to submit to the command of the Lord to protect his hunter gatherer sheep in an attempt to protect them from the Curses of Deuteronomy and climate change if they had laid down their lives and let the meek hunter gatherers inherit the Earth.

I am thinking climate change is the Curses in the Book of Deuteronomy. Psalm 93 asks "How long Lord will you be angry" and the answer from Our (science based) Lord is "as long as you live in agricultural societies and emit greenhouse gases." Plowing fields emits greenhouse gases so we must live as hunter gatherers to stop emitting greenhouse gases. How do you get IPCC scientists to tell us we must lay down our lives thinking of the meek hunter gatherers who do not emit greenhouse gases. Jesus said "lay not your treasures on Earth where rot and rust doth corrupt and thieves break through and steal". Hunter gatherers don’t lay up their crops and treasures like agricultural society people. The meek hunter gatherers will inherit the earth if we safely store nuclear weapons. How do we get IPCC scientists to tell us this? Would District Attorneys charge them with Child Endangerment for emitting greenhouse gases and increasing the likelihood of nuclear war?
