Catholic Crossing - Nicaragua’s Heart

God, I love this period I was there in the 80s I remember what we did there

Bless you

Wow! That must have been nuts.

I’ve never been there, but 20 yrs ago I did try to expatriate with my family and friends to Panama. It didn’t “pan” out - thankfully! Beautiful land, though.

Thanks for sharing!

Well, I don't mean I was in Nicaragua in the '80s I was in middle School in the '80s. But I was there in the '80s I was in the '80s. And what we were doing over at Nicaragua was a big fucked up messed up deal that most Americans didn't want to see and really had to be dragged by their ears and the majority of the populace still never believed but half way. if we were doing things like that in the country now it would be all over the place and there'd be no question whatsoever in anybody's mind because the evidence would have recruited so fast and been on so many media channels. But in the '80s there was really easy for the government's to obscure the fact that we were doing what we were doing virulently and ugly as we were in Nicaragua then. Death squads and militias are hard to hide nowadays, especially if it's going on in a place as close to us as South America.

Right! They had the death squads, too! I know about Columbia’s death squads, I think I forgot about the US involvement in Nicaragua particularly but then, what WEREN’T we meddling with back then??  

I was just on Wikipedia the other day trying to figure out what happened to their right-to-life fight (we’re looking at a similar change coming up) and was touched by the reminder of their gruesome struggles.

Great poem.  Keep on writing my goddess.

I do not see how God wins anything considering He (or She) created this mess.      Regards, Robert.

Not speaking for Catholics.      
   
God is the most organized dissipative structure in our singularity/universe, who claims      
(through naturally induced human religiosity)    
that we are fractal miniatures of his infinite, white-hole reality.    
     
God is us, and in that he wishes well for the points of awareness (us) that he relates to, seeing that we are his children. Humans don’t have to give up their humanity. When they do, they lose - and so does God. But that’s the one battle not His whole war.  
 
He wins the war by retaining Himself and sharing it with us, as we learn and grow.

So with respect, we disagee.  I just do nor believe in any sort of unique powerful whatever god. or God.

I think atheists evangelize as much as Jehovah’s Witness believers. For someone who doesn’t need to save anybody I see a lot of signals.

Robert, my friend, with respect, I do not believe that Edible is speaking of the concept of God as an omnipotent or humanly intelligent, micromanaging "Being" in the Sky, but something more akin to natural force.

Same way, at a certain level Taoism says all the same things that quantum physics does.

Without trying to forcefully to speak for my friend edible herself, I believe that she is speaking in metaphor of the generative force, the macrocosm and the microcosm, three things as one of which we are all apart and within which, and through which, all things are connected. All people all to each other, all people all to nature, all people all to the cosmos, and all, ideally, to harmony connected within
