Apparently you didn't go to the site for in it there are references to the Bible. This religious man has a following not unlike a pope, a rabbi or a priest. I don't know if he has created his own doctrine but his creed is love.

God would not crucify anyone to peruse other ideas. God simply wants you to believe in His doctrine in the end. How would history keep track of itself if it was a condemnation to record hisorical facts? It implies a historian, for example is a heretic for simply for studying/reading/observing a divergent point of view. Clearly, if anything the word of God does not want us to be blind. We have to have respect for someone else's point of view--even if we believe them to be incorrect in that point of view. God did not endow any of us on this planet the authority to denounce and condemn others in His name. God gave us the ability to reason and to use our resources to take decisions.

If you pronounce that you and you only are correct then you are. In the end God has the last word. Unfortunately, all to often a believer is so wrapped up in their personal dogmatic preachings they create within their head a sense of being above the rest of mankind. How foolish! That belief is no different than oppressing others with an iron fist. If you truly believe then you must allow others to believe, whatever it is. Water seeks its own level. God is water.
