RT said: *"...the kinda sayings "We are all one brother, children of the same Father" always mean alot to me but in a way they overshadow the truth of the real world we live in - racism, killings, rape... We're not sister and brother on this world or in this lifeime but maybe we will be in the afterlife."*

Agree with the "reality" of the world in general that RT points out, but would only add that there ARE people -- I know of near 7 million worldwide -- who are "sister & brother" in the deepest sense of the word, and who have *"learned war no more"*, or racism or rape for that matter! It's a beautiful thing too! *"By their fruits you will recognize them..."*

Leggo Rocker's comment re the earth's cleansing that is definitely due, reminded me of the words in the M'Diamonds tune, "Gnashing of Teeth":

*When the earth has been cleansed, and the righteous will be standing on the land,
So no matter what you do only good works shall see you through, ...*

**Psalm 37:8-11, 27-29**

Peace & love to all...

p.s. to Ranking Trevor: Please understand that no disrepect is meant to your thoughts and feelings about the issue, nor minimizing what has happened in the past. I just know that there WILL BE an "accounting" for what has been done... Respect.

I love that quote TJ

When the earth has been cleansed, and the righteous will be standing on the land,
So no matter what you do only good works shall see you through, ...

Psalm 37:8-11, 27-29

I am not acually a Christian (or even a Rastafarian) but as a spiritual man I have always found a whole heap of wisdom in the Psalms ever since my wonderful Grannie first read me some when I was a likkle pickney.
