Should all snowflakes be exactly alike?
We see snowflakes are often different. People across the Earth have access to this knowledge.
Then by what "truth" or "reason" can any person or group attempt, by force or ideology, to "re-create" Nature's snowflakes in their image, to be only one "snowflake"?
These claim to own this "snowflake." But they do not own what cannot be owned.
What human being can thrive within the prison of a single pattern dictated by limited consciousness?
If one truly believed in what is larger than ourselves, then one would fight for the human right of freedom of thought and expression, and support others who do so:

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
But if one is afraid and seeks "safety," temporary "power" or material "gain," if one does not support the right of another to think as he or she wishes and to express his or her thoughts, then it is apparent one cannot truly believe in the Infinite.
Acting on attachment to belief is not the same as Love or Understanding.
Through the story of The STARLING Connection, I put forth a bold idea that may seem to many to be counter-intuitive:
Our beliefs are NOT all that we are.
To know a real level of freedom, love and humanity, we must realize the existence of a True Self (Real Self or Higher Self). The Real Self is a MUCH Larger Story of Nature & Humanity, connected to the natural rights of others, existing within the full extent of reality.
To truly know Love, we must have the knowledge, consciousness and discipline to separate our personal sense of identity from attachment to belief / ideology. Our goal, rather, should be to constantly learn, to build our consciousness, to grow our capacity to be and know Love.
No person or group can claim "belief in the infinite" while committing violence or killing another because of expression of thought.
What robin can live without singing?
Who gave the robin its voice? Who then can take away the robin's voice?
No belief can take away the robin's voice, no organization, no group, no construct, because none of these gave the robin her voice in the beginning. All constructs built from limited consciousness will wash away on the shores of the Infinite Ocean, but the Waves of Voices will remain.
A human being can die in many ways, not only physical. A human being can be breathing, but his/her spirit can be suppressed or killed through silence forced.

Silence can also be violence.
Like torture, censoring our fellow human beings through any violence, threat, belief, system, technology, construct or failure to understand our limits or lack of consciousness, is a form of murder / destruction, for which no justification, rationalization or excuse exists.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t spend all my time totally in my head.
I like a lot of things, listening to music, hanging out, seeing what I can do with computer code and stuff like that.
But what I really like most is playing guitar. The guitar’s pretty beat up. It belonged to Dad. Yeah, I even write my own songs. They’re mostly from poems. But I don’t show my songs to anybody.
I’ve always wanted to write something really good that means something to someone; something that gives someone else a little bit of hope. So I’m giving it my best try here. There’s a lot of stuff going on at school I just kind of have to let out. Get off my chest, you know?
But there’s really not anywhere you can actually say what’s on your mind. There’s not one place at Briar High, or on SUPERNET, or TEMPLE, or anywhere where I can really express myself.
So that’s why I’m encrypting most of my songs and poems; all this stuff I’m thinking about, in this special diary.
