A Random OKcupid.com letter/response….

Dear ____,

Thank you so much for the response! To be honest – I’ve been on here for at least a year – longer then that on some of the other sites…I have come to view ‘all of this’ with varying degrees of fascination, fear, and wonder, hahaha. This is a very big pond with very dirty water and a lot of very…lets just say…weird & dangerous fish! I still have hope that there are women out here worth taking chances for in terms of meeting them; I think I’ve met a few – but it was just not in the cards for us to be together. A number of them are actually facebook friends – and I’ve had the privileged (I do count it as that) of seeing them find love, marriage, and happiness – so I do know that it can and does happen! Just gotta be careful!

What I am I looking for? I think that *most* people are looking for unicorns or FWBs – that is to say that they could not find the perfect mate in their own imperfect words – so they have turned to the virtual – as if that will make a difference? I never garner any of their attentions – so I don’t worry about them, lol. The FWBs thing goes without saying – I believe that it is bass ackwards to have sex with someone first and then hope a meaningful relationship starts later, pffft.

In terms of what I’d hope to find on here; a new friend to have dinner with and engage in amazing conversations…someone who is successful in the ways that matter: when you surround yourself with that – it rubs off on you – you agree? I am attracted to strong female archetypes, but who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable to the right person, at the right time, and who has *most importantly* earned it. I’m following the map marked on my father’s map – whose are you following….?”
Hope this finds you well;)

Dogma vs. Idolatry

One must accept the possibility that the universal divine essence has within the continuum of human history disclosed objective realities regarding itself to humanity – and if these objective revelations (either revealed as objective truths, directly or indirectly [that is to say subjectively] are to be taken with some degree of respect and thus accorded the reality of their own potentiality – they must also be allowed the potential of offense; this is to say – you may not like what the universal divine essence has revealed about itself. Failure to accept these objective truths or even the potentiality of their existence does not make the followers of them bigots but it does allow for the reality that you yourself may be worshiping your own created god-image: an idol that you, yourself created consisting of your own acceptable means and rejections of other truths. People who constantly berate others who devoutly follow other traditions of faith and accuse them of dogma are often these same types of people – and a meaningful gauge of just how much of their own crap they are following is often directly proportional to just how reluctant they are to embrace anything that is potentially offensive to their own state of existential freedom.
