Theory: Hatred and Oppression is within our DNA
My opinion, I believe our hatred is passed down to us from our great great great grandparents through our DNA. There are things we cannot control and most of the time we oppress our evil, hateful thoughts ourselves. I applaud Aidan Mack and people from deafdc.com who are talking about racism and other forms of human oppressions. Is it our human nature to hate like the animals do? Give us your insights and opinions on this topic.

A Deaf' Person's Way: How to Pray to God?
I am sharing a Deaf person's way of how one should pray. Again, this is my opinion and experience. Each person has their own experience and I am looking forward to hear your experience.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Peace and Blessings,
Stephen Hardy
Be careful of what you hear or see and it does have consequences
It is very important to convert negative message (energy) into positive messages. Negative message is also very powerful and the same for positive messages.
Train your mind to convert negative messages into positive messages. Messages are energies and can spread to people like wildfire. We do not need any negative energies spreading around. When you hear or see negative message and trick your mind by rephrasing the message itself.
What you think is what you allow within and becomes duplicated by sending that message to other people. Think good and loving thoughts and send it to the Deaf community also watch and see what happens. It will spread like fire because energies travels from people to people like a telephone. Be careful of what energies you are sending to the Deaf community in general.
Why I am NOT a member of any religion organization
I am explaining why I am not a member of any organized religion. I respect all religion and do not want to be part of it. I hate seeing different religions fighting over silly things. I love to talk about God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I know there are people out there who are playing some kind of a game that tries to trap me into their game. I refused to play that game and I want no part of it. There is nothing special about me and I am just a Deaf ordinary man just like others. If someone says I am this or that and just ignore them. I have already forgiven people and I do not hold any grudges or whatever it is called.
Peace and Blessings,
Stephen Hardy

Two-Faced ASL Interpreter? Experience Finish you?
Have you had a wonderful hearing friend and taught that person everything about sign language and Deaf culture. Then you encouraged that person to get better and better by being their mentor. Then this interpreter becomes nationally certified and you celebrated with that person. Few weeks later you asked to go out and that interpreter did not want to hang out with you anymore because you became that interpreters' customer or client.
Has that happened to you, too?
My answer to DeafFlower - Jesus
I am answering DeafFlower's vlog question from: http://www.deafvideo.tv/watch/3083
I want to include Daniel 7:13-14 because it mentions "Son of Man." This was foretold before Jesus became an incarnate "God in the human form."
The Son of Man Is Given Dominion
13 “I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion,which shall not pass away,and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
English Standard Version (ESV)
The Lords Prayer - General Christian Version (ASL)
The Lords Prayer in ASL and the Roman Catholic version ends at Deliver us from Evil, Amen. The Christian version includes, "For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for Ever and Ever. Amen." Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4
Holy Spirit does not speak through 3rd parties. It speaks to you directly.
I just woke up with a message to share. Remember the Holy Spirit within you speaks directly to you only. There is a lot of people who believe that other people tell them that the Holy Spirit asked them to do this and that. Be aware and know that you already have a direct link to God and no need for other person to do that for you. Trust your heart and this is where God is at with the Holy Spirit (God, Jesus and Holy Spirit = One). You are a spiritual being and have access to God anytime and any place. If a person says that God told me to tell you this or that and be aware because God can tell that to you directly. No human on earth is above you and remember this. God is in everyone regardless if a person believes or not. Holy Spirit is your helper and your teacher, trust the Holy Spirit and you will get correct insights. Holy Spirit communicates you through dreams, symbols, words, vision, voice, your heart and etc. Be alert when Holy Spirit communicates with you and you need to quiet your mind so the Holy Spirit can channel its communication to your heart.

Problems understanding the Bible, Response.
My response to Shawn's (ASLisRisen) concerns regarding to the Deaf man and why his name was not in the Bible and etc.
The book I showed is "Introduction to the New Testament" by Dr. Henry Clarence Thiessen, Hendrickson Publishers, Inc. ISBN 1-56563-724-0. This book is used in seminaries and those who study theology. It is not an easy read because of scholarly language is nature.

A VLOG response to ASLRisen (Shawn).
My VLOG response to ASLRisen (Shawn) and explain what a person needs to do to experience God. I gave an example of how to do it where you are now.
We have sinned Romans 2:23
We will be Judged Hebrews 9:27
We cannot save ourselves Eccelasiastes 7:20
We can be saved through Jesus Christ Romans 5:8
No religion can save you even man it has to go through Jesus Christ only

Cure of Deaf, would you accept? How about this one?
Suppose there is a cure through technology, medical advancement, or genetic engineering. Would you accept the cure? Most Deaf people would say, "No!" What about Jesus Christ? If Jesus says, "It is God's will to cure your hearing." Would you accept or argue to stay Deaf, which? Another point here is in the New Testament, Book of Mark, Chapter 7 and verses 31 through 37 where there is a story about Jesus Christ healing a Deaf man and it is a very interesting historical event that happened during Jesus' time. Would you accept Jesus' healing of your deafness, yes or no?

American Sign Language (ASL) does not attack anyone!
Accusing American Sign Language itself of causing pain or problems is a fallacy because blaming a "Language" for something that does not have anything to do with human nature.
Direct the problem to people and not the language. People are causing issues and target them instead. It is true that Deaf people oppress other Deaf people and it has nothing to do with American Sign Language in general.

Is American Sign Language (ASL) a Language?
Methods or techniques to use against the school board members who think that ASL is not a formal language or is a foreign language. This is one of the ways you can use to win an argument along with other methods you have learned via vlog/blog.
