So here's a theory...

... and no, it doesn't undo any religious views that I can figure out so far.

So far ...

Okay, I'm a Master Mason.  One of the requirements to even be considered to being a Mason (of any degree) is that we each share a belief in Diety.  How a Mason determines Diety is left entirely up to his own belief(s).  But we all have that in common.  I personally need to clarify to a LOT of my brothers that this can often run people awry when they fail to recall that there are more views than just "Christian".  I for instance am an amalgamation of beliefs.  American Shamanic, Welsh Druid and ... dadadummmm born Protestant Christian.  I believe in God, and I even refer to Diety as "God".  Well, here's a warm-up folks.

"God" is not a name.  It's an Adjective.  A Nickname.  It isn't actually a Name.  Every Religious collective (and yes, I do mean "collective" not singular) keeps sacred within the depths of it's teachings the "Name" of God within their dogma.  It is sacred to each one of them.  And in all sincerity, what that "Name" is really doesn't matter to anyone else.

Do you know why?  Can you figure it out?

It's because it is the Word that they Believe.  If we each were to respect one another's views in religious beliefs (or even just singular Beliefs), then we should consider that each sacred word/name carries with it the sanctity of that belief.

I have another word that I use to describe Diety for me.  One of many in fact.  That Word is Truth.  That Word is Entirety.  That Body is the Cosmos, to the entirety of it's diversity and variation.  Because of my belief in that, I have recently (within recent months even) discovered that I can literally find Love and Joy and Compassion for every living being.  I can give Respect for every thing I can identify as well as for those things I have yet to or even may not get to.  In my eyes I hope reflect that expansivity.  I hope that when another being, every being, can find some glimmer of that incredible Work and that with a bit of luck they may find a bit of the Light that is their unique and equally important part of It.

And if they cannot ... then I hope they will help me to be able to.
