SOME FRIENDS INSIST THAT I AM NOT AN ATHEIST

Some friends insist that I am not an atheist

But I do not believe in a God

This concept implies an hierarchical structure and causes humans to believe they are superior to other life forms

I believe all life to be equal sentient and connected

Either humans have lost this connection or never had it because they are not indigenous to this planet

I have studied world religions and I did a great deal of research when I lectured on Wicca starting in the 1980s

Although western religion has done a lot of harm there are a lot of good religious people

I still love Desiderata

A long time ago some sociopath changed one word in Desiderata and sold it as his

A SHORT STORY ABOUT HEALING THE  BLUE PLANET

I wrote and published this sci fi short story a few years ago (under the above title) when the human population was

only 7.4 billion:

It is now more than 8 billion.

I wrote this short story as social satire and sympathetic magic

The idea that we were genetically engineered is from Mayan writings plus my belief that humans are not indigenous to the planet

The concept of translocation was once a practice pre Roman Empire and apparently still is in some so called primitive cultures

The idea that humans were livestock for the gods is mine but am sure others have thought this

I chose Ophiuchus because I was I was drawn to this constellation
