		<description><![CDATA[First, I just joined this Black Writer&#039;s Group through LinkedIn because I am an up and coming author, but I am definitely having second thoughts after reading your response to the Essence article.

First of all, the God I know is not about judgment.  That is the God of religion and religion is of Man, not God. Many claim that the Bible was written by God, but the God I know is composed of LOVE and LOVE is ENERGY. Love has no reason to write books for it&#039;s existence is PURE and needs no definition or explanation. God may have inspired the Bible, but it was never written by God. It was written by man. Furthermore, the King James version (which most American Christians use) was edited by a king, an English king who wanted control over his &quot;subjects&quot;, which he was able to exert through biblical influence. 

The exceptions to that rule were put on boats and sent to America and they eventually stole the land from the indigenous native nations who were also eventually controlled by believers in the Bible.

Religion has controlled men for thousands of years with FEAR, beliefs in such concepts as &#039;Sin&#039;, hell, purgatory and the like. yet with the dawning of truth in this age, one can release such fear based beliefs and embrace the truth.

In my humble opinion, the truth states that there is nothing but perfection, for GOD as Perfection cannot create otherwise.
Our disbelief in our own perfection leaves us wallowing in need of &#039;being saved&#039; and man&#039;s churches have open arms for those who so wallow.

Man&#039;s conscious mind, also known as EGO, is what I read being expressed here. God created men and women as co-creaters with His Profound Energy. Such words as &#039;fornication&#039; were created by the dominant culture to keep &#039;control&#039; over the masses.

When a Soul TRULY knows the God within their own being a church, minister, etc. are not of necessity.  To me the church is a place to go for socialization of my beliefs in Divine Energy....the key word being SOCIALIZATION!

 Yes, one can seek solace within the walls of a building where the energy of the people is stored and built upon week after week and day after day,or the covers of a book such as the Bible, or the Koran or the Kaballah, but until one finds the energy of GOD/LOVE within his or her own Being/Heart then it matters not whether one attends church or their partner/spouse attends church for it is not in attendance of church that one enters the Kingdom of Heaven....but rather the manner in which one lives day to day creating heaven upon earth with their own Love Energy and actions based therein.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I totally agree with the article. I have to train my 10 year old granddaughter now before she gets into any entrapment. I told her we need to make God happy and that she needs to keep her record pure. I told her God sees everything that we do and his angels write everything down. Fornication is a sin of your body and serious consequences can occur, pregnancies, disease, and not being a virgin for your husband. I told her sex is for married adults only. Sex is not for kids. You have to be strong read your Bible, study for good grades and to be well read. You are different from worldly people. Yes we have to control our children&#039;s environments and lives. People in the world are doing all kinds of evil things to our children.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hear you LOUD &amp; CLEAR... I hope others will too!  You have articulated and expressed my views exactly (what does the Holy Bible say about it!).

Living a christian single life is not easy but it has strengthened my relationship with God and allowed me the time to focus on Christ and my life until that day come when I met my mate.

Quiniece, continue to let God use you to spread the word, for you have surely been a blessing to me and many others!]]></description>
