   "If I say I have faith and do nothing, then I have nothing" is nowhere   
   near as accurate as the saying "If I say I have faith and do nothing,   
   then I am dead".   
   What a ludicrous statement for me to contemplate my valuable thinking.   
   Existing with or without faith should never be defined as a   
   contemplation of nothing. There are many faithless people parading as   
   faithful followers of gods truth but they are not.  They do not exude   
   the divine aura that the true believers radiate.  Where are all these   
   true believers - the mystics of our century.  Why do we continue to   
   battle against the wages of religion.  We are all one religion - given   
   I detest the word religion.  Something phenomenal, surreal absolutely   
   exists in our realm and if not we would not be witnesses to the beauty   
   which is to be beheld.  Our forests, our rolling oceans, the lushious   
   fields which roll accross our soil, flowers so beautiful it begs a   
   grown man to cry, creatures so marvellous our throats ache.  We love   
   so much in this beautiful land which has been granted as our gift from   
   God.  We must learn from now to love that which is his gift, this   
   earth, this garden, this Eden we have buried by our faithless battles   
   against our own brothers.  Satan has made his presence known on our   
   shores since the beginning of time and now we shall soon see his   
   hideous breath deplete into a shadowy whisper our silent victory.   
   Venus has her sword raised against satans flesh and he will succumb   
   soon to the power which is love.  The is Gods promise.  Venus across   
   our heavens recently is our sign.  Our sign to be prepared for the   
   pulsating of our Mother (Natures) womb - Eden - her blooms about to   
   appear before our ambience.  God is slowly making his presence know   
   and he says we must all be prepared.

   People with true faith exude a divine aura ambience and this beautiful   
   aura  Their ambience is their true faith.  These people are far and   
   few between and we must stride to find these people so that their   
   faith can be our own destiny.
