Predictions and predicaments (Quem sabe?)

“Do not make plans for your life, ’cause you might spoil what life has planned for you”. “Não faças planos para a vida, que podes estragar os planos que a vida tem para ti”.

Deconstructing the potter and the clay(O caminho eterno da vida)1/3

The explosion Beginnings in synchronicity Properties of matter, energy Condensing on a unity, Hydrogen Helium and lithium, Deuterium and tritium. Condensing on a galaxy Black holes and stars, Neutron star collision No volition, Just one more explosion, the elements we need For our locomotion. On a trail of gold, Nine planets around our Sun.

Deconstructing the Ten Commandments (Nem mandos nem desmandos, apenas conselhos) 8/10

The goods and properties we have come from the effort of our work or from the effort of those we inherit it from. I know that some things like life, escaping hunger and accessing education and healthcare are more important. But disrespecting each other does not take us far. So please consider taxes, not expropriations.…
God is not love…The Bible tells Me so(Um equívoco)

There can be no Perfection without Love. If it doesn’t come from a place of love it doesn’t come from Him. A book, a message filled with noise. Let it be love the criterion you use to separate what is real and meaningful from what isn’t. And may you pave your way with this love,…
None(Tudo e todos)

Deconstructing Abraham and Isaac (Pátria Amada)

Gods of the present, Not Him, nor Her High on poles To the wind unfurl And unto these masters, People surrender their hearts, their personality, their rationality, What sets them apart. As if to be one with them you had to nothing be. Oh the praise, the honour and the superiority! People indulge these entities.…
Deconstructing the Ten Commandments (Nem mandos nem desmandos, apenas conselhos) 6/10

Life is a chance to have good things come your way. And death causes pain to those left behind. So please consider minimising death and killings. I understand that not always it is avoidable. And that your life is yours and you have the right to choose death. It is His failing, not yours. And…
Deconstructing Sodom and Gomorrah(Teodiceia)

The problem of evil Is the evil in the World caused by divine punishment? Take Stephen Jay Gould ‘s concept of spandrels. Look… It goes far beyond biology. Every structure, every invention, every creation has its own spandrels. Some spandrels are inevitably deadly and painful. You want a planet full of oxygen, you need to…
