My name is Brother Minister Reverend Bishop Elder Gary L. Jones and I believe it is more important to tell the simple blunt truth than it is to say things that sound good. And I believe it is more important to act in behalf of everyone than it is to win arguments. Because we are all one there are no sides to take. The wisest person demonstrates the power of selflessness and the unity of all creation. I am an Ordained Minister of the Universal Life Church, whose creed is We Are One. I believe in (12) Basic Universal Eternal Truths: (1) The existance of God can neither be proven or disproven by reason and must be accepted by faith alone. (2) The mission of the church is to teach ethics. (3) Ideas that are valid will survive. (4) Emotion clouds rational thinking. (5) Religious myths are lessons of importance but not to be taken literally or stand in the way of human progress. (6) Humans as are all life still in the process of advancement. (7) The value of the individual does not supercede the welfare of the masses. (8) Universal love extends to all things or it is not universal. (9) Selfless love is the only true love and not the love of someone or something. (10) Godless ideologies lack the possibility of the unknown. (11) Morality is changeable and defined by conditions. (12) Sacrifice that is imposed on the ordinary people or masses while it is ignored by, elites, the ruling groups and the wealthy is hypocrisy. I believe Religious Truth is not absolute but relative. Divine truth is continuous and progressive. Founders of all past religions, though different in non-essential aspects of their teachings, go to the same heaven and proclaim the same faith. The oneness of mankind is always stressed as it, the belief that all religions are one in their basic principles. Religion must be a cause of love or else their is no religion. I believe that Religion must always strive to achieve Universal Peace and equal opportunities for all with the purpose of the salvation of the World through Peaceful Free-Will. I am the Founder/ President/ and CEO of The Holy Continuance of the Universal Spirit Pluralist Church and International Alliance of Sacred Congregations of 21st Century and New Millenium Divine and Enlightened New Age Modern Day Prophets. I am the Founder/President/ and CEO of the God Only Knows Me No One Else Motorcycle Club, Phoenix Arizona. Our club mottos are ( Lex Non Scripta ), the unwritten law and ( First Do No Harm ). The club headquarters is located in Phoenix Arizona where the club was created. I am a Social Justice and Human Rights Activist in advocacy of Pluralism, in all of it's forms, and Multidenominational Multiculturalism. And I am a sometimes writer and poet and an AFL-CIO, ACLU, NAACP, and a SIERRA CLUB member. I am a Spiritual Counselor and Universal Religious Philosopher ( Multidenominational ). I am a Progressive Blogger ( International ). And a, Futurist, Forecaster, Motivator, Radical, Organizer, Conservationist, Advisor, Reporter, Theorist, Advocate, Mediator, and an Optimist. I believe in unconditional Freedom, Justice, Equality, and Respect for everyone irrespective of Cultural, Religious, or Ethnic differences. My religion is Religious Pluralism, a term used to describe the acceptance of all religious paths as equally valid promoting coexistance. My Political, Cultural, Cosmic, Economic, Legal, Scientific and Methodological philosophies are all based on Pluralism. Pluralism is used, often in different ways, across a wide range of topics to denote a diversity of views, and stands in opposition to one single approach or method of interpretation. Pluralism, in general, is founded on the premise that Tolerance, Openness, and Understanding towards the Cultures, Social Structures, Values and Faiths of other peoples are now essential to the survival of an Interdependent World in which every citizen irrespective of Cultural, Religious or Ethnic differences is able to realize his or her full potential.
