     False  gods  tempt  us with false  images  of  power,
controls,    disciplines,    perfection,    acceptability,
respectability and salvation---false images which commonly
entail:

conformity    threats        coercion    violence

judgments     condemnations  legalities  disintegrations

rejections    destruction    alienation excommunications

estrangement  controls       discipline  depersonalizing

     The  tempting  false images are  false  because  they
suggest  that  attending  to the images  will  bear  sweet
fruit,   when  in fact attending to the images  will  bear
bitter fruit.  By their fruits we can know them.

     The one true God invites us to enjoy the sweet fruits
of   honest  fellowship  together  as  God's   children---
accepting  ourselves and  each  other  as  we  are---God's
children whom God does not want to see be:

conformed     threatened      coerced      violated

judged        condemned       legalized    disintegrated

rejected      destroyed       alienated    excommunicated

estranged     controlled      disciplined  depersonalized

by each other.

     It  is  God's  will that we be reconciled  with  each
other  in  open and honest dialogue---because we  give  to
and accept from each other free gifts of the freedom to be
safely  vulnerable  in being  true  to ourselves and  each
other---just  as  we  are;  with whatever may be  our  own
experiences, perceptions, desires, attitudes, fears, hopes
and aspirations.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
