OT edited to steveallen--Overall a valid criticism, but thank goodness over the years i have counted a constant minority presence that can overcome their dna programming and actually be freethinking individuals.
My totally unverified % is 20%.
Saw a fascinating show where a man as a child had escaped the holocaust due the heroism of just plain folk.
He went to search such people out to see if he could find some commondenominator , and he did.
None of people thought their decision was extraordinary. Sample comment "It was the RIGHT thing to do. So you do it."
They were near all strongheaded inviduals that carried an inner sense of right and wrong(the light is within defeats the darkness on DNA:), and had that inner strength to do the right thing, period, regardless the danger.
Regards that fellow Jesus, i oft felt the "be born again" has been totally twisted and destroyed.He was saying, hey assholes you want to be better than kill what you are and be something new---change utterly, be born again.
The man Jesus did not even intend to found a religion and for those screaming "apostasy, horror your words" simply read Hans Kung's On being a Christian amazon.com
As i like to delight fundamentalist christians(especially the right wing variety), as Hans Kung's lifetime of research brings him to state Jesus was born a Jew and DIED a Jew, and he never said to Peter the he was the rock on which the church will be founded.
A total selfserving lie put in by the early Catholics.
In fact we are gathering exciting pieces of information that the Gnostic Christian Faith and both Taoism and Buddhism were merging with the early Christian Gnostic faith.
But first the Church of Rome went on a faith based genocidal destruction of the Gnostic Christians, and then rose up Islam which annihilated anything in its path incuding the evidence that Taoism and Buddhism had met and were mixing with the early Christian Gnostics(A faith that had little in common with Catholicism).
What am i saying the truth is out there,and it is within you(het babe Sargent Pepper:), and it can destroy genetic evolutionary programming.
of course what i am writing here is total Bullsh-t!(LOL!)
p.s. if not the for breakaway movement of Jews that formed two branches, the one leading to Rome the other to Gnosticism.
So to those who think of Jews as christ killers, sorry Charlie, it was only the Jews that preserved the event of Jesus.
A lifetime student of such matters, me; well it's better than reading comic books, well a little better:) |
