After many years in IT tech support and web dev, I unexpectedly ventured onto a new path. Now I'm in my thirties and have a double degree in Earth Sciences! I am raising fowl, a goat, a horse, four cats and a husband. I spend my free time in the garden and with my animals. Currently, my long-suffering husband and I sleep with one of our cats in the bedroom with a young pullet in a cat cage on a shelf who refuses to sleep with the other chickens! It strangely works out. My husband is an aspiring author writer and often blogs a story about our lives on the farm etc.
I am passionate about chickens, cats, web design, blogging, Pinterest, sprouting seeds, taking cuttings and other gardening, trialling make-up and hair products, baking, writing stories, spinal disabilities, making things and offering all kinds of advice to people.
Being one who loves to read, TaintedBlood.org is an old URL I purchased in 2002, inspired by the Margaret Weis science fiction fantasy Star of Guardians series of novels. Jazhiaran and Ashe are the names of rpg characters I created in the 90s inspired by the Raymond E. Feist fantasy novels following Pug the magician.

Many things in the Bible cannot be backed up archaeologically, thus a lot of stories are likely as exaggerated as a Hollywood rendition of a true story. Besides that, the sacred men who roamed the Earth preaching what is right and what is wrong were in fact more likely than not the same man, considering the values are very similar, the stages and scenes of the stories are similar only differing in location, and the lessons are similar.
Just like a journalist will spin a news article in the favour closest resembling their own beliefs, religion, whether it is true or not that a higher being of rulership exists, each and every man and woman will interpret words of faith differently, and each will place their own values and cultural context on every word also.
In so saying, Mankind are the ones who created "blasphemy" and hate against other religions, not some higher power. If there is just the one god, or if there are many, it is doubtful that it or they would take offence to being named differently in other countries nor in other races in the world following a different religion.
If religion is supposed to grant Mankind a fairer, more charitable way of behaving towards others: why on Earth does so much hate come out of those religions towards those who do not follow it? Be-it Catholicism against Prodestant, Christianity against Judaism, or Islam against /everybody/, including their own women in the most extreme forms: why can people of these religions and countries not realise that they're worshipping the same entity, just in their own way?
I have my own beliefs, but after studying religion through the ages for so long, I will not follow someone else's set rules for what I should believe - but that does not make what they believe in wrong, bad, unacceptable - unless of course they push their beliefs onto others and indicate loudly that "I'm right and you're wrong, and you should die". Aka, some southern US Christians against those who do not believe in a deity. I believe that to be the best person I can be, that being kind, compassionate and accepting of others no matter what they believe in is the most important thing; of course, so long as they are similarly kind and compassionate. Disdain often follows those who express a "knowitall" attitude in one's religion when religion is simply a faith of something that is not quantifiable.
I'm not looking for an argument. I'm simply trying to express that religion or not, be kind to others. Racism often stems purely from religion, which to me says little of the person and the religion.
On a less serious note: Americans, please... It is AntarcTica. There is not a silent "t" in the word! :-(
