US Founding Fathers' Wisdom ( Church & State Divided)

As I said earlier, sometimes you have to go where the investigation leads. The " US Founding Father's Tolerance & Islam" debate continues on. I found several (Parts I, II and III ) of rebuttals to James Hutson's May 2002 Article about "The Founding Father and Islam" . If you google them you can find them and read them. I also found a perspective from an outsider( Herman T. Salton, from the Department of International Politics, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK) .On April 24,2013 this scholar ( via Canadian Center of Science and Education) published online writings ," A Stroke of Genius? Religion, the Founding Fathers and the Creation of the American Polity". The following quote puts the whole matter in a different light- "...the wisdom of the US Founding fathers lies in their decision to separate the public and private spheres-and to keep Church and State firmly divided. This was not ,it should be noted, because they regarded the State to be more important than the Church, but rather because they thought that government was unworthy of interfering with religious faith and private conscience." I have to admit that a true and fair read and understanding of such complicated issues as the " American Polity" is no small undertaking for one with clownish tendencies.I am better suited for juggling balls than complex ideas...

The Founding Fathers and Islam

Yes,investigative leads take you where they want.It is the perogative of the investigative process!James H. Houston wrote an interesting piece in May 2002 for the Library of Congress,entitled The Founding Fathers and Islam Library Papers Show early Tolerance for Muslim Faith.The following is an illuminating quote, " Readers may be surprised to learn that there may have been hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Muslims in the United States in 1776—imported as slaves from areas of Africa where Islam flourished. Although there is no evidence that the Founders were aware of the religious convictions of their bondsmen, it is clear that the Founding Fathers thought about the relationship of Islam to the new nation and were prepared to make a place for it in the republic." Hutson mentioned John Locke's "Letter of Toleration (1689) and insisted that Muslims and all others who believed in God be tolerated in England".There was much national and stateside discussion and debate on the merits, values and tolerance of Islam from the early colonial days up to the present debates in the United States. If an old hoboclown detective like me can find this historical reference, what do you think the deep-pocketed presidential candidates can uncover ? Read the article...

Calling All Angels !

Can the rich and powerful and law enforcement do radio checks and investigations of Angels ? I uncovered some leads that took me right to 'The Source': 1- Posted October 28,2010, Mahaalzubaidy's Blog mentioned, "The Significance of Angels in Islam". The account was very informative ! 2- A googled post on 10-29-2012, (by Lorna Byrne," I don't try to change anyone's beliefs but I know now how much Angels can help us. I see it every day and it seems to me to be such a waste when people don't ask for this help. Angels can help us so much,particularly in these challenging times." 3- A 12-23-2011 googled post by Jennifer Agiesta, " Angels don't just sing at Christmastime.For most Americans they're a year round presence.A new Associated Press-GfK Poll shows that 77 percent ...(nearly 8 in 10 Americans Believe These Ethereal Beings Are Real ) ." Check out the above leads.Your 'How do you read? may come back,'Loud and clear !'

An Ethic of Reciprocity ??

Hoboclowns are naturally curious.For the past few days,I wondered if All the world religions had any One thing in common.This investigatory trek turned up a clue, "The Ethic of Reciprocity" . Google the quote and see where it originates! One thing I learned from the quotation was that the World needs to share more than Grief !

Prayers Rock !

Why do you think the Pope is coming to  Philadelphia, USA ? Well, a simple investigative hoboclown clown like me would only think it has something to do with the power of prayers. A lotta people have given up on Religion but prayers is a different matter!

I investigated the matter at http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu/projects/vss/docs/propulsion/2
Is the Pope joining the Space Age or is the Space age just catching up with the Eternity of Prayer ??

The  finding at that website was that, "The Bigger the push, The bigger the push back".
My investigative hunch is that the big push for evil  taking place in  all corners of  the  earthly globe is about to be pushed back by prayers...This is not just leading up to a Hail Mary Pass. The Pope
is about to gain some significant yardage from the September,2015 World Conference on Families, a Major League Event ! Too much killing yields a re-birth of peaceful intentions and outcomes.
Say Amen!

Mad Again !

In March, we are fun (da) mentally Mad again ! Naturally !
