The Nonexisting Chains

The Nonexisting Chains
I felt angry because I have been robbed out of happiness all my life.

I suffered fear and guilt for no reason. I tried very hard to follow all the rules, and it only led me to bad choices, being taken advantage of, failure, oppression, depression, hypocrisy, and unhappiness. 
The more I learn and observe, the more I think outside the box (which I was locked in), and the more I realize how much I was locked down by fabulous nonexisting chains.
Like many others, I used to pick and choose to justify.  
I believed;-
1-If the text doesn't make sense, "What makes no sense is metaphoric, and what makes sense is literal."
2-If I questioned, "Don't question just believe."
3-If it is illogic, "You need faith not logic to believe."
4-If I used brain, "You can't use your brain to believe."
5-If I was intelligent, "Your brain is too small to understand God's ways and great wisdom."
6-If there was no reason, "God works in mysterious ways."
7-If I have the knowledge, "Knowledge inflates up with pride, but love builds up."
8-If I didn't see it, "Blessed who have not seen but yet believed." or " you don't have enough faith to receive the blessing of seeing it."
9-If there were no answers at all, it was my fault, "If you are not given dogma or gift from God, you will not be able to understand."
10-Finally, If I disagree, then I am not chosen because "God has chosen the ones in him before the foundation of the earth."

Religious belief does not need evidence. It is unquestionable, unexplanatory, does not have to make sense, does not have to follow logic or follow reason. It may explain what we haven't understood yet, the supernatural, miraculous, and magical. You must be chosen and given the gift by God from the beginning to believe and enjoy paradise after death. But, amazingly, at the same time, you have the free will to chose between believing or going to hell and burn for eternity!
It is very contradictory. That's is why it is better if you just believe and follow. It is also better if you don't question and have no knowledge or brain.


For 50 years I knew all the possible answers to justify what makes no sense, and it still makes no sense. This is not out of ignorance about the text, but out of too much knowledge about the text and faith, and some simple knowledge about facts.
Only 8 years ago, I started to feel happy, safe and unafraid. Mainly when I gave up the belief in nonexisting chains.
I am just saying this hoping to make you feel free and as good as I do. Because since I discovered the truth, I haven't been happier and more fulfilled in life.

End Doctors Abuse, Start a Physician Union, and Enforce A Free Healthcare For All

End Doctors Abuse, Start a Physician Union and Enforce A Free Healthcare For All
America spent a few trillion taxpayers' dollars on losing the Iraq War! If the Government has spent this money on healthcare instead, we would have had a Free Healthcare For All.

We, Physicians, have lost our autonomy and income to the control of health care carriers, the excessive bureaucratic regulations, and the endless medicolegal litigation. 

Lawyers have been continuously suing doctors, not for good reasons but just for extracting money — the fear forces Doctors to unnecessary tests for everything and practice expensive defensive medicine or "cover your butt medicine." Defensive medicine dramatically increases the cost of healthcare. 

The increase in healthcare cost make Insurance companies raise the premiums, and deductibles as well as reduce patient coverage, doctors pay, hospitals pay, and Pharmacies pay to keep the profit in the billions. Healthcare costs a fortune in America while the quality is not better than Europ, Canada, or Australia in which healthcare is free.

Doctors are obligated to provide services first, then Insurance Companies decide how little to pay or not to pay at all. 

To get paid, Doctors must spend more time documenting bureaucratic data than the time spent caring for patients. 

Let us form a Physicians Union to change the free litigation laws, and get our dignity back. Let us work on providing Free Healthcare For All.  
We need at least one-third of the doctors to sign the petition to form a Union.  

Kavanaugh

Judge Kavanaugh
Congratulations America on a supreme court judge who is easily angered has no control over his emotions, cries when cornered, believes in conspiracies against him personally, avoids answering questions in an investigation, and swearing to God, is his soundproof of innocence. For sure he will be very professional, fair, and never biased.
First of all, I think it is not smart to let 9 people, some could be in their 90s, make the laws in America for life. Have anyone heard of Senile Dementia? Aging naturally, reduces the brain faculties. Plus How can someone modify today's rules based on traditions or culture of 3 generations ago? 

About Kavanaugh, I am happy that I do not have to make a decision because it is complicated and confusing. It's all speculations. 

Dr. Ford can be inaccurate or wrong about her claims. For her to come forward with shameful allegations for a political gain is possible but hard to believe. Anyone can lie and claim anything against a famous or wealthy person for profit.
What I didn't like about Kavanaugh as a judge is that he has anger, lack of professionalism, and inappropriate responses to the questions. He based his defense on blaming the Clintons which is very irrelevant even if it was true. By the way, I do not like the Clintons.
What kind of judge will apply the law fairly if he is that emotional or easily angered, influenced, or act unprofessionally in dealing with allegations? Any lawyer would advise responding, Yes or No, to a Yes or No question. But, like any politician, Kavanaugh was deflecting questions, answering questions with questions which is one of the first signs of lying.
Honesty and decency do not matter anymore these days when a benefit is involved. 
Believe me, being a judge does not mean being decent. Like being a doctor doesn't mean being a saint. Or being a priest doesn't mean, not a child molester!! 
It is Amazing how the Republicans refused Obama's Merrick Garland choice for the supreme court, how they delayed it to after the election just because it was Obama, and how they are supporting Trump's just because he is a Republican. It is amazing how nothing gets done because the Democrats and Republicans never agree. The priority is not the benefit of America but is always the benefit of the party. 

No matter what people may say good things about Kavanaugh, I think he showed his character during the investigation. Everyone has enemies and friends. Anyone may find people to help make him, or her to look good in court or take him or her down. Anita Hill was grilled, and many people including the Senate accused her of lying and supported judge Clarence Thomas in 1991.


I think it was ridiculous and completely off topic when Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana asked Kavangoouh if he believes in god! It reminded me of when I was in Egypt, and some people frequently asked me: "Aren't you a Muslim believing in one Allah, or (and fasting Ramadan), thank God??" What does this have to do with anything?! How is swearing to god a good enough evidence to his innocence? What if he was a Buddhist, a Japanese, a Chinese, or an Atheist?? What would be your argument?! I swear to Budah" or "I swear to Nothing." If you tell a killer; "swear to god that you did not do it, and we will let you go" of course, he will lie and swear to god that he didn't. 

The system is not perfect, and it all becomes just a job. If you work in the Correction Facilities, read about how the system works, or watch documentaries like "Divorce Incorporated" You will realize it is just a job in an imperfect system. 

Practicing Law by lawyers or prosecutors is about winning not about justice. Many innocent people are in prison for pleading guilty for crimes they did not commit. Many minor offenders are in for a very long unfair time because they did not plead to the agreement between Lawyers and prosecutors. Many people plead guilty and serve sentences even they are innocent just to avoid the harsher punishment after a lengthy, complicated procedure which might or might not prove their innocence. Lawyers contribute to Judges' campaigns outside the courtrooms and Judges take the side of the favorite Lawyers, especially in divorce cases. Judgments entirely depend on who is the judge and who is the lawyer. O. J. Sympson was set free on a technicality after he clearly murdered 2 people in spite of 101 pieces of evidence. 

The last thing society needs is a system or a judge who is influenced by anger, politics, personal beliefs, religion, alcohol, sexual orientation, or race.

If none fits,  it doesn't mean we must choose the best unfitting. 
When none is telling the truth, it doesn't mean we must believe the better layer.

Prayers

Dear Friend,
Here is my opinion,
I think Prayers provide a sense of spiritual peace and comfort. Prayers offer relief when we can't do anything about a problem. But Prayers never produce anything physical.
From my personal experience and my many failures and few successes, I think it is just simple math; 1+1=2.
If you do nothing, nothing will happen. If you do something, something will happen as a result. If you add 1 to 1, you get 2. If you add prayers to 1, you get 1+prayers which is still a 1 in the physical world and never a 2.
A house will never miraculously build itself by praying. It must be constructed by people and materials with no mistakes so it wouldn't collapse. 
If you do not study Physics, you will fail a Physics test. If you pray all the time, Physics will never come to your brain.
We depend on begging God when it is out of our hands, when it is 50/50, or when we are unable to do it ourselves. If people work hard, and things go their way, they say our prayers worked. But, when things do not go their way, they say "God works in mysterious ways." only to make themselves feel better and justify the lack of hard work, working the wrong way, or the bad luck in some cases. This is why helpless societies rely more on praying than nations with freedom and equal fair opportunities.
You will notice that societies depended strongly on prayers rather than honest hard work do not advance and have higher crime rates like Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, and even the United States. Atheist Nations which do not pray and just work hard are more advanced and have a lower crime rate like Sweeden, Norway, and Denmark for example. Peace

More Unsuitable and Contradicting Verses in the Bible

More Unsuitable and Contradicting Verses  in the Bible
1*Anyone had his testicle or penis removed for any reason like injury or cancer, should never enter the church!

Deuteronomy 23:1-2 New International Version (NIV) 1 "No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord."

2*Anyone was born out of wedlock, his children like orphans, or his children's children even to the 10th generation are not allowed to enter the church.

"No one born of a forbidden marriage nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, not even in the tenth generation."

3*If a man suspects his wife has cheated on him, he may take her to the priest and make her drink special water to abort the infant.

Numbers 5:11-31 The test of unfaithfulness, The suspected unfaithful woman drinks the bitter water which will cause abortion and death of the fetus if she was unfaithful.

4*If you look a woman's beauty and wished to have her or to marry her, you have committed adultery.

Matthew 5:28 "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

5*Jesus came to bring fire and sword to the world, not peace. Jesus came to divide families, and to make people love him more than their fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters. 

Mathew 10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 and a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. 37 whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 

Luke 12:49 Jesus said, "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!" 

6*A woman must submit, be quite, never teaches, have no authority, or leadership over man.

1 Timothy 2:11-12 11 "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."

7*A woman must wear a headscarf (like Muslim Hijab) to cover her head and hair.

1 Corinthians 11:5-15 "5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head."

8*The early church terrified its people into willingly giving their positions and punished who kept some money for themselves by death like Ananias and Sapphira.

Acts 5:5-10 "5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him." 

"10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events."

Notice, there was no mention of witnesses to how they died. It says "she fell down at his feet and died" and "found her dead"

9*Did the priests buy the Field of blood, or did Judas? or did Judas hang himself or fell and his entrails gushed out?
In Mathew, Judas returned the 30 pieces of silver, hanged himself,  and the Priests bought the Field of Blood with it.
In Acts Judas bought the Field of Blood himself with the silver, fell and his intestine came out his body.

Matthew 27:3-8
"Then Judas, his betrayer, seeing that he had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!" Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood." and they consulted together and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Therefore that field has been called the field of blood to this day."
Acts 1:15-19
"And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; "for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry." Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is field of blood."

10*Did the men traveling with Saul hear the sound but not see the light or did they see the light but not hear the sound?
Acts 9 and 22 contradiction
Saul companions Hear but did not see or see but did not hear?
Acts 9:7 "7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone."
Acts 22:9 "9 My companions saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who spoke to me." 

Science is not Voodoo

Science is not voodoo
Humans owe their well being to the hard work of scientists.
Science and experimentation are keeping the world going and advancing.
Science fixed the Ozone and saved us from a disaster.
Experimenting with vaccines saved us from plagues and mass deaths.
Experimenting with drugs helped Cure Hepatitis C and contain AIDS.
Science can save us from global warming and keep us from extinction.
Religious people, basically, do nothing, just pray, and leave it to God. When they do nothing, nothing will happen.
People thank God after scientists have actually helped them and they claim God is higher than science when experimenting fails. When science fails, it only means one more trial and error in the way to perfection.

It is impressive how people thank God for removing a brain tumor while a brilliant, well trained for years, hard-working surgeon and his team have actually done it themselves! If God is omnipotent, why can't he make a priest remove a brain tumor?
When prayers work because of science, people thank God, when prayers fail, they never blame God but say God works in mysterious ways! Prayers will work or fail simply based on the efficiency of the person doing the job.
It is simple: 1+1=2. If you need a 4, you must add a 2 to the left side of the formula. If you pray for years and never add the 2 yourself, you will never get a 4.

What you'r worth depends on where you are

What you're worth depends on where you are!
Can anyone relate to this? Please reply if you do! 
The Egyptian Soccer player, Mo Salah is Worth $173 million worldwide, but he was buried and had no future in Egypt. Needles to say in spite of him scoring every goal for the national team, Egypt still lost every world cup game even to the very low ranking team of Saudi Arabia. 
Sire Professor Dr. Magdi Yacoub of England is the most excellent heart surgeon in the world, but he was called stupid and made to fail in Egypt. 
My brother is a recognized British Australian and American professor of medicine and surgery, and he teaches his unique style of colon surgery worldwide, but in his country, the faculty of staff downgraded him to just an average medical student and an average physician, and he had no future.
My second brother is the youngest tenured professor of electrical engineering in a most prestigious university in the USA, and he teaches his unique entrepreneur field of engineering worldwide, but he was made just an average student with no expected future in his country.
My third brother is the Manager Pharmacist of the Computer Systems for the largest pharmacy in the USA, but he was an average student and an average retail Pharmacist with no further future in his country.
I like to believe I am a successful Physician with an excellent clinical common sense but I was a below average medical student and an average physician with no further future in my country.
What does that mean?????
I think it means; No matter how your brain is, you are below average in the below average country you are from.
Why? Because when the country is corrupt, its priorities are screwed up by factors like, what is your religion? Or who is your father in the government?
I hope the USA will never get to this low of a standard.
I hope, being White, Black, Democrat, Republican, Christian, Atheist, or others will never become a factor of who you can be and what can you contribute to this country!
