JB,
I don't think any of us have walked even a half mile in your shoes, so it's hard to know what you're dealing with inside your head. We can only go on what you post, and we can only react from the perspective we have. I, personally, don't understand the religious obsession. I don't know if that's a derivative of your condition or your upbringing. I DO know that religion was created by man. To control other men. If you can't see that, you can't escape it.

All religion means to me is to "practice" and practice makes perfect.. the term religion seems to be becoming a catch phrase of false hood in the fact that no one wants to be considered "religious"... for me it's just an opportunity to unite all denominations under the umbrella of Christianity by saying I belong to the Religion of Christ. I dunno we can either unite as a people to destroy evil or we can unite as a people to save souls. Seeing what happen in England where everyone who didn't believe got beheaded I would per-fer to unite to "save souls". Pure Christian Religion is what I aim for.

Let me rephrase this..
All religion means to me is to "practice" and practice makes perfect.. the term religion seems to be becoming a catch phrase of false hood in the fact that no one wants to be considered "religious"... for me it's just an opportunity to unite all denominations under the umbrella of Christianity by saying I belong to the Religion of Christ.

None of us are perfect people, we never will be; don't beat yourself up about failing to be perfect. Don't expect the practice of religion to make you perfect. Look at the behaviour of many devoutly religious people ... terrorism, murder, torture, gencide ... Maintaining human sympathy is IMHO the best way to not be an evil prick. Quote:
It was much more about politics, power and control than about "Good" Vs "Evil". The "evil" bit was just the excuse for getting rid of enemies and rivals.

That's exactly my point. When you use God and Religion as a means to "control" without acknowledging that Heaven RULES and without the intent to 'save souls' then YOU ARE EVIL. |
