Your inability to understand your own dependance on limited forms of archaic Judaic Old Testament stories and it's deleriums deemed 'prophesy' for the source of your truths, reveals also much about you.
If there is a much finer "Truth" that lays within existence ; an exquisite essence within all the God of nature's creation .... that can be touched , felt and explored thru the interaction of art ,science , faith, and personal revelation and study, then let it be discussed and talked about , without the rancor.
The subject of there is a " One Eternal Diety or Being " ... an absolute reality and omniescient ,omnipresent pure benevolence behind the play of all the phenomena called "Life" is a subject worth earnest meaningful discussion, without personal attacks and condemnations.
The way we treat life and approach one another now , is more important and than all the ancient preserved scriblings and cherished myth-stories , that some still cling to.
If you choose to make these stories real for yourself for lack of any other original source of knowledge , then at least be reflective enough to see the limitation of those stories to produce the desired effect within your own person in regards to that most elevated treatment of your brother you were instructed by your master to exemplify .
There maybe something terribly majestic and eternal behind all that we see happening before us here on earth , Greg ; mystical wonderments and elevated experiences that go beyond the norm, if we seek hard enough. If your love of the scripture is deep enough and expanded enough , and touched you deeply enough you would not have to react with such vehemence and lash out so.
What was it your master taught you of God ? Let us hear that , and let that be discussed. If it elevates and inspires , then all will hear the message.
Stop playing the "chosen one" , and all others are the Pharasees...it is 21 centuries later.
