Mouth Like a Magazine

September 1st, 2010 by Tony Davidson // 5 Comments
Words filled with venom. Sting in your talk… Damage in what you speak. When you say evil, you curse. When you discourage you break hope. Your mouth is like a magazine, promoting lies, and creating a reality out of lies. Dream killing words, and life ending words, cursing the soul and the mind. Watch what you say, for the words you say have the power of life and death. You can blame it on your past. Blame it on were you came from, but when words that down others come out, it’s only a reflection of what’s really in your heart… Envy, Jealousy, bitterness, hate, ETC..
I believe huge reasons why people carry such deep wounds are because of words spoken over them. Let’s be a people who speak Life. Be the one who encourages others. Be the one who uplifts hearts. Don’t live through judgmental eyes, stop killing people with words.  You will reap what you sow and will be judged in the same measure you judge others. Be clothed in love. Speaking words of love that will bring about Life and lift Hearts.  God is Love, and love is the movement. Be the Movement. Be love… Speak Love…

Atheist ad campaigns stir the pot during holiday season


Atheists and Catholics have posted dueling billboards in New York City, creating a metaphysical face-off near the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel. One, put up by the group American Atheists, proclaims that Christmas is a "myth." The other, posted by the Catholic League in response, urges commuters: "You know it's real. This season, celebrate Jesus."
This is not the first such religion-themed ad showdown. Atheist groups around the country have taken to advertising campaigns to get out their message -- and Christian groups, disapproving commuters, and the occasional anonymous vandal have taken notice.
Atheist organizations have tens of thousands of members, and the number of American adults who say they have no religion has doubled to 15 percent over the past 20 years. The stepped-up ad campaigns are a way for these secular organizations  to compete for the increasing market share of potential atheists, experts told the New York Times.

"There's a competitive environment for 'no religion,' and they're grabbing for all the constituents they can get," Mark Silk, founding director of the Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life, told the paper.
The outreach is also a way to fight the "stigma" atheists face -- even though the same campaigns also frequently provoke acts of vandalism that remind nonbelievers that they still can be pariahs.

In June, a billboard set up by a local atheist organization in North Carolina was defaced by an unknown vandal. The billboard proclaimed "One Nation Indivisible"  -- the way the Pledge of Allegiance read preceding the 1954 insertion of the words "under God." According to the Charlotte Observer, someone inserted that phrase in spray-paint over the sign.
"It was done by one or two people off on their own who decided their only recourse was vandalism rather than having a conversation," Charlotte Atheists & Agnostics spokesman William Warren told the paper. "It does show how needed our message is. As atheists, we want to let people know we exist and that there's a community here."

Three of 10 atheist billboards erected in Sacramento, Calif., were defaced in February, and more recently several atheist bus ads were vandalized in Detroit.

But even with these conflicts, the ads keep coming. The priciest and most extensive one to date, according to the Times, is a $200,000 series of cable TV and print ads paid for by the American Humanist Association. The ads challenge fundamentalist readings of the Bible and other holy books by playing "horrific" quotes from them, like: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent." I Timothy 2 (New International Version).
In 2009, an anonymous $25,000 donation paid for ads blanketing New York's subway stations. "A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God. Are You?" the ads read. A similar ad campaign by the same national group will debut this holiday season in Fort Worth, Texas, and in Washington state. The Fort Worth chapter of the Coalition of Reason's ads read "Millions of Americans are Good Without God" and appear on four area buses. Critics in the area say the message is insensitive during Christmas. (The Dallas transportation department rejected the ads.)
"We've been trying to put these ads together for a while, and we didn't plan for them to come out now," Terry McDonald of the Coalition of Reason told the Star-Telegram. "But I'm not unhappy it's running during Christmas. Why do Christians own December? There were people that said this may cause a problem. That doesn't bother me."
[Related: Billboard campaign for "a freakin' job"]
The Freedom from Religion Foundation, which has billboards up in a dozen cities, recently launched a series of bus and billboard ads in Madison, Wisconsin, to encourage people to "come out of the closet" and admit they are atheists.
Not all religious leaders feel threatened or offended by the atheist message. "If the ads aren't intended to be hostile, then they shouldn't be met with hostility," Pastor Karl Travis of First Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth told the Dallas Morning News.

THE POEM : ENVY


ENVY
Ziff! It ran more than speed
Ziff!! Again, in another direction more than speed
Ziff!!! It ran; hit my feets in the dim dark
It looked at me for half a split seconds
I looked back, bent but it was gone
At the speed of wave.
It was afraid, but I jerked
It knows the gory tales of woes and hell
Unleashed from a miscalculated run and
By a wrong turn, and
Through poisoned crumbs and fierce smashes
Ziff! It ran again, without hit, more than speed
I saw it, bent
Not to unleashed the predetermined hell
But to tell it that
I ENVY HIM!

WHAT WE RE HERE FOR

Overview of Services

Writing
I will take your ideas, outline or notes and create a text that effectively communicates to your intended reader.

Critique
It helps to have an independent eye look over your manuscript. I can do that and give you a professional opinion about what your text does or does not need, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and how it can be improved.

Substantive Editing
A substantive edit consists of a thorough review and revision of content to improve its organization and quality of communication.

Copyediting
Copyediting involves checking the manuscript's language for spelling, grammar and punctuation, as well as adjusting the style to make it consistent and conform to the chosen standard. I am conversant with the most common styles used, and am happy to accommodate individual style preferences. Another element of copyediting is ensuring that the text flows logically. (For example, a person described as having brown eyes at the beginning of a manuscript in most cases should continue to have brown eyes throughout the remainder of the text.)

Proofreading
Traditionally, proofreading is comparing a newly output document to the previous marked-up version, and marking the new document to indicate any corrections that were missed or any newly introduced errors. While doing this side-by-side comparison, a proofreader will note as well any other obvious typographical errors. Proofreading can also refer to simply reading through a document and marking typographical errors without referring to a previous version of the document.

Fact Checking
In fact checking, the editor reviews the manuscript and verifies simple statements of fact, such as names, dates and numbers. For instance, if a text mentioned that a given mountain was the highest in its area, the fact checker would consult an atlas or other reliable reference to ensure this was an accurate statement.

Research
If you need assistance gathering information, I can help.

Input
While direct electronic manipulation of document materials is becoming increasingly popular, many people still prefer to work with hard copy. I am flexible and can work electronically, on paper or in any combination of the two. I am equipped with both Macintosh and PC systems, and am proficient with a variety of word processing applications.

Design and Layout
My focus is on textual, rather than graphic, materials. I can provide you with an appealing design that effectively presents your written message. Layout can be reproduced in word processing or PDF format.
