A Little Bible...

You shall utterly destroy from all the places where the nations, that you shall possess, worshipped their gods, upon the lofty mountains and upon the hills, and under every lush tree.
And you shall tear down their altars, smash their monuments, burn their asherim with fire, cut down the graven images of their gods, and destroy their name from that place.... Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse.
The blessing, that you will heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today;
 and the curse, if you will not heed the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn away from the way I command you this day, to follow other gods, which you did not know.
-Re'eh Torah

I, like the Hebrew prophet Elijah before me, goes and fulfills this mitzvot, this commandment everyday. I go out to destroy and smash the idols of our society that plague us. The idols of alcohol, drugs, politicians, celebrities, material possessions, money etc. These are things which cause rot to the human soul. I believe it is my mission, my vocation to tear down idols and to build up something far grander. We cannot continue to put our faith in these empty objects which preoccupy our minds and bodies. Let's put faith in God, the creator of the cosmos, or if that is too much to ask, let's faith in humanity. To paraphrase the Christian New Testament, "God is love..." Let's build love up in our souls and spread it to the rest of our families, work places, and communities. There is no love among men, so there is no God. If we turn away from love, God, then we shall be cursed, and that is evident every time a child is neglected or abused, they are not shown love, God.  When that child is shown love, and they are fed, clothed, shown affection, they are shown God through love, thus they are blessed. We need to show God/love to each other, because if we do that, we shall transform the world. Next time you see a homosexual, try to understand them not chastise them. Or next time you see someone who is deemed a freak, or abnormal, try to reach out to them, it may bring a blessing. As a species, let's reach into ourselves and spread God to each other, lest we become cursed and destroy each other.
