Ironically, the Republican Jesus was actually a devout atheist—Ayn Rand—who called the Christian religion “monstrous.” Rand advocated selfishness over charity, and she divided the world into makers versus takers. She also stated that followers of her philosophy had to chose between Jesus and her teachings. When the Christian Right believes it’s channeling Jesus when they say it’s immoral for government to tax billionaires to help pay for healthcare, education and the poor, they’re actually channeling Ayn Rand. When Bill O’Reilly claims the poor are immoral and lazy, that’s not Jesus, it’s Ayn Rand.

Perhaps the most important thing
we bring to another person
is the silence in us,
not the sort of silence that is filled
with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal.
The sort of silence
that is a place of refuge, of rest,
of acceptance of someone as they are.

Space Shuttle Atlantis shot from my back yard here in the Orlando area on November 16, 2009, cropped to show the airplane in the picture, that I only noticed when I enlarged the picture quite a bit with out knowing it was even in the picture and all of a sudden it showed up.

Remember when you were little 
and you thought, everything was amazing?
It still is.
