That is easier shown then it is explained. No one shown it to me.. I didn't learn it from anyother source then the Holy Bible. If you have read the Bible then you may or may not know that it makes mention of "elf-type beings". When God walked the earth, humans lived for a very long time. It was back then that people praticed a different kind or religion. One of a true living God. He was there with them and they gave praise to all that he had created. All forms of life lived in unison. The Circle of life was unbroken as it is now.

Humans praticed a ritual before they took anything from Mother Nature. They gave thanks for all that she had given them. People would make life from Death and not kill for fun. They didn't rape the earth of its resources for profit. They took small and gave big. They asked the trees for food, wood, and warmth of fire. The trees would grant them what they needed. Now, we humans just take what we want. Ancient trees would willingly give limbs for wood to build or for warmth of fire. The earth would bless them with fruitful crops. Everything was pure and clean. Animals were not afraid of the people and were willing to give their lives for meat and their hides.

Back in that time people were thankful for all they had and never wanted more. They didn't look to their neigbhors wanting what they had. There was no greed. This way of life is all but forgotten and hardly spoken of anymore. After God left this planet, humans didn't live as long. Humans became greedy and hate was learned. They fought and killed for personal gain.. nothing more. They no longer thanked Nature for what they had, only wanted more. In this day and age, these ways are still praticed, however, not many really Kill for gain.. they just destroy peoples lives.

Christians would call me evil and a satanist. Simply because I do not share their ideals as to what the Bible tells. That is ok with me, but the funny thing is that the Bible even states that we are not to judge each other for what we believe in or for how we are. That is God's job. You want to judge me for my religion? ok sure go for it. We shall see who is right and who is damned. Do I think I am right? I don't know.. I only go with what I feel is right and the reason why I do this is because the Bible tells me that is the way I am suppost to be.

If I want to congragate, I will do it in the veil of the forest. Show me where is says to be able to speak with God, you must be in a Building. I can show you where it states, a gathering of friends that congragate on a mountain, near a river, in the forest, anywhere for that matter and talk about what the bible means to them and express their opinions and share are the ones that are in a church. I have not found anywhere that it says that I have to be in a church made by man, listening to a man tell me what God wants from me. It says in the Bible that I am to take what I gain from it and share.. not be TOLD what to believe.

The Ancient Celts often praticed rituals much like what I feel is right. They were doing what they felt was living as one with Nature. Though they were infact Human and did fight for personal gain. I take what I am given. Yes I do want more then what I get, but I can accept what I have and be happy. There is no reason why I should just go out and rape the earth for wood when I know Nature will provide for me. All I have to do is ask and She will grant me what I "NEED". Need and Want are Different.

Once I had to make a bridge to cross a river. I didn't use stone because I didn't want to Dam it. I sat next to the trees neat the shore. I asked them it I could cut them down to use them as a bridge. I thanked them even if they would not let me. After I finished "praying" to them I got up. I had a small little hatchet. Not anywhere near big enough to chop those trees down, but I took one swing and down they fell as if they were helping me to cross the river. I chopped down only what I needed to make a bridge big enough for me to cross. After I was done, I knelt down again and gave thanks to them for their aid.

I strive to be one with Nature. I want to hear her voice again. She still talks to the animals and warns them of inpending dangers. Want proof? How many Wild animals do you ever see getting hurt and/or killed in natural disasters? I mean Wild for the meaning.. Not Domestic animals like dogs cats and cows.. I mean Animals that are free. Not many if any at all. She warns them of everything that she is in control of. Now how many animals get hurt and/or killed in Human caused Disasters? Quite a few.

People do ask me what religion I am and I really do not have a name for it. Elven is about what I would think to call it. I take what nature is willing to give me.. nothing more. I use everything that she gives me and leave nothing to waste. I am not a hunter for the meaning that we have given it now. I am a hunter of the meaning that the native Indians were. I do not believe in many Gods, I only have one I believe in. Mother Nature is not a God to me, she is just the one that God left incharge of Life on this planet. She is doing what she can to keep us and all animals alive. We just keep making it harder and harder for her to do her job. I am no Saint in my religion. I use Computers.. I drive cars. I pollute just as much as you do, but I do not litter. If I am hiking a trail in the mountains and come across trash that some fucking ass hole has dropped I pick it up and carry it with me till I get to a trash can.

In today's day and age, I have to be this way. I am not allowed to just "live off of the Earth" and not pay TAXES... no the Government has made the way of life that I want to live almost illegal. But that is a different Subject. In the religion I have learned from the Bible, I have learned that it is OK to learn anything I want. It is only Wrong to pratice things that go against God's will. I have learned about almost every type of religion. I have learned about many peoples ways of life. Do I judge them for what they believe? No, I just let them be. Some peoples religions do make me laugh though. I mean.. why limit yourself to a few choices to make you pickie? If it is food I am going to eat it. My religion doesn't limit me to anything. It is not wrong for me to watch TV or chat on a computer. It is not evil for me to disagree with what you believe nor is it evil for me not to pratice what you believe. You are not Evil just because you believe in different things then I.

My religion is not much different then normal Bible thumpers. I am just alittle more reasonable. If I commit a Sin, I am not forgiven if I tell another all about and promise not to do it again. that is just crap.. no Human can forgive your sins. Only God can and the only time that he will is when you are face to face with him in the after life. In my religion you'll never see priests molesting young boys under the shroud of Holyness. In my religion you are allowed to do what is right by God and by God only. No man can tell you what to believe nor can he tell you that you are wrong for your different views. You gather what you gather from the words written in the Bible and take the meaning that YOU get from them. No one can teach you this. I cannot tell you what to believe nor can I tell you what you will gain from the wisdom contained within the Bible. That is YOURS.. you see.. in my religion, you are free to find what you find. Only catch is that you just share your opinion with others as they share theirs with you. The Ten commandments are rules I follow. They are God's rules not man's. Man is not my God nor will Man ever be my God.

I believe in Jesus, I do not agree with his sacrifice just for us. Watching the world as it is now.. I cannot help but feel that he died invane. What has changed? He has given man a second chance to be forgiven.. true but am I the only one that sees that he did this so many years ago? I mean, how can we think that he died for the Sins we have commited and the ones we will commit? That, to me, just seems as human Arrogants. Jesus died for those humans back then so they could be forgiven.. not us. God is the one to forgive us. but that is my opinion.

So again, I say to you.. if you really want to know about my religion.. then read the bible with an open mind.. Forget the preachers commintairy. Forget what you learned in sunday school. Read the Bible with an open mind and figure out what it means to YOU. If you Care to blast me and call me a heritic.. feel free, my Guest Book is always open. My Email Address is posted in the "Contact Info.." Do as you will, just remember.. you are not to Judge me.. only God is to judge me.
