An Atheist and a Christian Walk Into a Bar

Ultimately what's most important is that a person is kind, good, compassionate, authentic and any other words that describe an overall decent person.  I am Catholic.  But I've met Catholic people that make me wonder if they understand what it means to accept Jesus' teachings which is basically summed up as "Love one another."  That means, stop judging and stop thinking you're superior to anyone else because of your race, creed, or social status.

Stop hating.

Be kind.

Be compassionate.

Something that seems simple never is.  But try anyway.

Love and peace to all!
Love one another!

Meaningful Choreography: Believer by Imagine Dragons

I'm attracted to all forms of art, and I'm particularly excited about any form of entertainment that speaks to my emotions.  Brilliant dancing & choreography is no exception.  One of my favorite groups Imagine Dragons released a song called "Believer" that is hauntingly beautiful and powerful. This choreography by Janelle Ginestra does a tremendous job representing the emotions this song conveys. I can't listen to this song without thinking about these dancers and this exceptional choreography! Clapping my hands with enthusiasm for the choreographer & dancers! Believer Lyrics:
First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh

I was broken from a young age
Taking my soul into the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heart ache from the pain
Take up my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My luck, my love, my God, they came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh

I was choking in the crowd
Living my brain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My luck, my love, my God, they came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My luck, my love, my God, they came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
