Almond Blossom.

When the almond tree 

blossoms

We know that 

Winter

Is almost over

And New Life 

Will soon be with us.

Anti-Religion.

Because rock stars emphasize the negative aspects of the star signs for each generation we are constantly being told to do all the wrong things and this brings out the worst aspects of our personalities.

Selfishness, hedonism, callousness, cynicism, violence, sadism, judgement, hypocrisy, destructive criticism, materialism, cupidity, blasphemy, profanity, hate, evil.....

All these things derive from rock music and entertainment.

And make no mistake this is quite deliberate.

Rock stars emphasize the negatives because they have sold their souls to the devil and his religion is a negative anti-religion.

They hope to be rewarded for betraying us all.

Fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

"Money for nothing and your chicks for free."

This is what they hope for.

But God brings out the best in us.

So you will find God emphasizing positive astrological aspects.

Put away your rock music.

Put away your evil books.

Put away your dark movies.

Cry out to God!

And be delivered.

Black.

You can't see black in the darkness.

Evil dresses all in black.

So you cannot see their evil deeds.

But the Light from God dispels the darkness.

And we can see the evil which lurks in the shadows.

Hidden malice and violence and fear.

They love the darkness for their deeds are evil

They say "Who can see us?"

But God can see them.

The darkness is as light to Him.

And He knows their black hearts.

Altruism.

Many religious people think that Altruism is the meaning of life.

Altruism is the philosophy of putting others before yourself.

But a misplaced sense of obligation inspired by fear can result in resentment and bitterness.

It can create bad-tempered, nasty people.

Better by far to preach love of your neighbor.

Love automatically puts others before ourselves.

Love inspires compassion and sacrifice.

Love is its own reward.

Loving people are happy and content.

And those who love God experience joy and peace.

So it it love that is the meaning of life!

Sexual Expression.

Young men need to express their sexual energy.

It is no use telling them to be celibate.

And this applies to gay men as well.

It is the bane of religion that they fear sexual expression.

Fear of hell makes them act unnaturally.

But why would God punish sex?

God invented sex after all.

He even invented gay sex.

God didn't invent marriage, however. 

So the Church needs to revise its attitude to sex.

And allow nature to take its course.
