It is strange to write a book about Christianity when I don't believe in the concept of Christ for cultural purposes. As a Cucapah Mayo Apache from Inglewood, CA I cannot believe in traditions from northeastern Africa. I just can't, those are myths that are not believable but more than that, they refer to customs and cultures from other people that I do not have a DNA relationship to. I'm not Middle Eastern, African or Mediterrenean. And I see Christianity as cultural genocide because most know the Bible stories but few know their indigenous stories. Even worse, they defend Christianity and laugh at our beliefs in brujeria-witchcraft and dreams. At least the dream was real but 2000 year old stories that were translated from translations has no place in North America. Could Apache traditions be imposed in the middle east and be told that the bible is fake? How would they react?
My new book deals with my experience in the 1980's attending an Anglo Mid Western Protestant Church. It is being edited but has been submitted for publishing consideration. The book is not fiction rather a lived experience.

I love blogging
Nobody reads them. And I don't want to beg them to read and sell myself like I was an unwanted oversize polo shirt that is either pink or purple. No wonder nobody wants them.
I'll keep writing and pretend somebody reads like I need attention.

Consequences To Writing
If anyone wants to dive into the world of writing I only recommend one thing. Beware of the Mexican immigrant, Mexican American politically correct and the so called "educated" Mexican populace; males and females, feminist and gay or not.
They will destroy your reputation if you are independent and do not parrot their believes. They will smear your reputation and you will be shout out of any writing circles or teaching spots if you teach. But that is the problem, who made them "the keepers of the culture". They can't be open minded to creativity and you are instantly wrong even if they have never published a sentence. They believe that being Mexican American is in their experience only and the rest have no say.
They can't sit and debate without insulting and acting with their esteem arrogance that they forget what they are to debate about. They remind me of the stupid three males who were drinking beer in a park in Laguna Niguel and singing. They began to each claim to sing better than the other that they ended up fighting. Finally one was dead and the other two prosecuted and are going to jail. All because two couldn't hear the other one out so they killed him. And yes they were Mexicans.
That is how this crowd is but they couldn't sit and hear one out because they believe their studies makes them superior when their education is not who they are. They believed the verses too much.
Just beware, that if you write you will be persecuted. But do it to show who has more testosterone of the spirit.
