big punch up in sydney yesterday, apparently some nut case insulted some ones god and a bunch of people went nuts and wanted some ones head cut off. business as usual really, i don't know, these days everyone is far to jumpy about their gods, lighten up everyone, i really don't think god is without a sense of humour and the god i believe in has the ability to laugh at criticism and just get on with the business of being a god, basically relaxing, smoking weed, creating some amazing universes for us to trash or enjoy, it all pours right out of god, universe after universe, filled with wonders and beauty, the affairs of man are a distant headache, occasionally god will intervene if the conditions are correct but i don't think generally he bothers with us. 
anyway's sydney is a chilled out place, no need to get aggressive really, all of us who come from other places need to adjust to the pace, the natural flow of the geography, it took me about a year to 'get' australia so there is no need to get all upset, it's just words, people expressing themselves, their fears, silly really, just gotta let these things go, move on, go surfing, wash it all away, just because it's mocking or disrespectful tells us more about 'them' then it does about your belief, but a over reaction into violence is not a great look, there was no real provocation, especially when the internet is filled with various hate directed at all kinds of groups or peoples.  
identity is nothing, not even real though we cling tightly to it, religious identity is the most stringent of ideas, it's hard to peel that layer of personality away because we are insecure without it but we are insecure with it as well, and as a result this breeds hate.
my war is with myself, i don't like parts of myself that allow myself to be intimidated or fearful, i don't like arrogance, stupidity, self righteousness, or extremist fundamentals of any creed, be it political, religious or scientific, these ideologies get us no where, every human should be allowed to explore themselves freely and that means firstly undoing yourself. that's a good place to start a new process, towards something liberating. alternately we could be the metaphorical sheep, zombies or just simply entrapped by our fear and hate following the mass joined to the bulkhead, spreading fear and hate like some stupid virus.
