I was thinking about the flippant comment I made the other day about The parting of the Red Sea, and how some may see this as being disrespectful, to people of religion...
And I was going to remove this post, but maybe having an understanding as to why i am flippant or have a view of religion, might put something into perspective...
As a child, I explained I was brought up religious, I chose as an adult, not to continue, with such an idea... But that stems mainly from an incident that happened when I was a child, where the bible was used against me, were i didn't want to reveal certain information, either to incriminate myself or a sibling..... Where a promise was more Important to keep maybe at that time....
But my hand was placed firmly on said bible, my hand was held there without me being able to remove it my hand was held firm ,whilst i was questioned about what I had done or what I knew.... Whilst I squirmed not wishing to divulge anything... Yet being forced to confess to something i did not want any part of....
Now this may seem little to no consequence, but you have to understand that I was a small child, I had been brought up to believe that those who would dare lie on the bible, would go to hell and damnation for such an atrocity.... I was fearful, of what would happen to me... I was stuck between a rock and a hard place as to what I should do or say for the best.....
And on reflection as a young adult, I believed that if that was what religion could do to me as an Innocent child, why would i trust it again.....
The point to this tale, is not only to explain my position on a topic, but to show when important information that could be relevant is omitted, someones idea of a persons actions and behaviours may change...... And someone's opinion of a person or their beliefs may be understood a little clearer...
Edit.... Only person to confirm it in any way is Dr Vincent Tabak.... But come to think of it it could have been Clegg....
This Case has such Wide Gaps, it's like "Moses parting of the Red Sea".... What happened to all the fish.... They decided to be helpful that day and all moved along in an orderly fashion...!! Those of you with fins move to the left.... Those moluccas move to the right.... you crabs hurry up and decide what day of the week we are on and whether you turn left or right!!
Double Edit... I thought I would add a little more detail to that event, so you can understand the horror I felt at being put into a position I had no control over,...
Whilst I am being forced into a position I'm am not strong enough to fight against, I have the person whom is in control at the situation, angrily screaming at me, this person had tried on several occasions to illicit the information from me they so desired, to force me into a position of utter panic and fear, where I recall trying to pull myself away from that book... where I struggled and struggled to get far away from a book that could affect my After Life, with one leg stood firm, whilst the other leg was pointed outwards, with my arm at full stretch... where red faced and crying,having already been interrogated on the subject, for some time, where the last possible threat was used, that would convey the information this person needed... An unkind act on a young child, but I remember,I struggled with the hand and person to release me from swearing and confessing to what had happened , whilst at the same moment in time, breaking a promise, I may have made....
To imagine a situation without detail, allows the person hearing such information, to conclude what they believed took place, in any given situation.... If the detail, is missing anyone can interpret what they believe took place, anyone can put their own slant on what might have happened....
