I'd like to comment a bit on ...Dear Mr. Grigg,<br /><br />I'd like to comment a bit on 'prostration' if you don't mind.<br /><br />In the Hindu religion, it's quite a common practice to prostrate oneself in front of God... AND certain other humans.<br /><br />For example, there is a common quasi-religious saying that explains the 'hierarchy of Holiness' (that's the closest translation I can provide) which states: "Matha, Pitha, Guru, Dheva" (Mother, Father, Teacher, God). Hinduism can be considered a version of Henotheism (One God but worshiped in many forms) and thus God presents Himself not just in his transcendental forms or avatars but can also be recognised in everyday forms. Such as respecting your Mother, Father and Teacher and ofcourse ultimately God. Loosely put, it means "respect your Mother, Father and your Teacher as you respect God."<br /><br />It doesn't mean you worship your parents or your teacher; however you do seek their blessings to help guide you through life. And the way you seek their blessings is by prostrating yourself at their feet - especially at religious ceremonies or auspicious occasions (weddings for example).<br />The extended version of this involves Pranama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pran%C4%81ma)<br /><br />Another great write up as usual Mr. Grigg! Looking forward to more!<br /><br />Dum Spiro, Pugno! :-)Spook, RNhttp://notamalenurse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-45364054894714103522014-03-27T15:33:22.834-06:002014-03-27T15:33:22.834-06:00Amazing analysis and a deft wit as usual, Mr. Grig...Amazing analysis and a deft wit as usual, Mr. Grigg.

They violate not only our Constitutional rights, but our human rights, as well. For choosing to pray in my own yard, I was harassed by local police, deemed psychotic by an ignorant cop, abducted beyond reasonable force and injured, stripped in front of police, drugged with haloperidol (a drug for schizophrenics)at the ER, which had on file every blood pressure and arthritis prescription I take, since I had recently received hip replacement surgery at their facility. After eight hours, they strapped me to a gurney and took me to a psych facility and held me against my will for 72 hours. I cooperated out of sheer fear. The psychiatrist there, of eastern descent, felt I should be put on psychotropic drugs because I spoke of my belief in God. To make matters worse, since I am a woman of low means, I cannot get legal assistance on a contingency basis even though I've been told I definitely have a case. It is pretty obvious to me the end of the age is upon us. May God have mercy on those who choose not to believe in him.

Do they teach you that you have the duty to disobey illegal orders? Do they teach you to respect the rights and lives and safety of citizens? And the bottom line question: Do you have the ability to think for yourself in deciding if what they teach is right or wrong, or do you just blindly accept what they say as truth and obey without question? Methinks the latter.Alan Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850477765171983177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-72627107014362802002014-03-14T01:25:40.682-06:002014-03-14T01:25:40.682-06:00Stevo,

Unfortunately many of our laws today go against the teaching of scripture. Freedom and liberty are biblical concepts that seem to be forgotten these days and are violated constantly.Operator61 ®™http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639002075922558789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-41358923048008149772014-03-13T21:21:53.129-06:002014-03-13T21:21:53.129-06:00Regarding this Comment:

I think I agree with you, and with an additional point: these are humans doing this, and in their training, they are being conditioned to overcome resistance that you or I may provide, at all costs, with all the resources that they have available. They are being given life-and-death orders by their superiors and will unflinchingly do as told. Sometimes these orders are given "last week" during training and they are applied today as they storm your house (or approach your car).<br /><br />For most things, we can let the judge sort it out later. But when someone dies, it changes the appeal process permanently and irrevocably.<br /><br />You folks have the hope of resurrection, although I have not received that gift of faith. I believe we do share a love of liberty and a love of neighbor. Yet we both are offended by state sanctioned violence, such as this. Both you, and I, will not allow worship to be given to these people nor their 'bosses', but probably for different reasons. Yet 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', which means that if you Christians hate this as much as I do, perhaps we have some common ground with which to go forward, hoping for not only freedom in our time, but peace as well.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-82227441189951639102014-03-10T21:58:16.351-06:002014-03-10T21:58:16.351-06:00Steveo: Pastor Chuck Baldwin wrote a whole book on...Steveo: Pastor Chuck Baldwin wrote a whole book on this very question.
