I don't think it is only people who think they are bad who are attracted (especially to religions other than Christianity), I want to make sure that is clear. I think that is merely one attraction. Although thinking you are a bad person, is certainly a heavy burden to carry alone. I'm not sure why anyone would pick up that burden in the first place, but maybe it is placed on one by circumstance and fate, genetic fate and as well as other types. I am simply grateful to whatever or whatisn't that I do not carry that burden.

Good versus Bad Spirits.... >>I think it is precisely bad people who are attracted to religion. I just don't think they are more bad than other people. "Good people" are o.k. without god, and hence have no attraction. Religious people that I know express an awareness that they are not all that good.>> Give credit to where it's due. It's not "the people" it's "the spirits" that express themselves through people. Every individual is free to chose "to recieve" from any number of different spiritual channels which is the causal medium through which all ideas, thoughts are formed and reflected after they proceed forth in their perfect form from the ONE End which is our Lord God in Heave, the Central Sun of the universe. Mankind's religions have been breeding and harvesting grounds for these claim, blame and shame spirits. It's not the individuals, but the spirits reflecting through individuals. >> It's ironic that one accusation leveled at religious people is "they think they are better than other people" or some version of that.>> If there's a feeling of division or separation from others involved then you essentially have evidence of a spiritual black hole in operation. The Lord's religion is simply a meeting place for the mind, heart and soul to receive the unlimited gifts of His spritual truth and perfect plan of salvation for every individual. True Christian Religion is simply a catalyst to ignite the spiritual equation for the reception and dissemination of more and more and more of His energy, light and Love in ways that will duplicate, replicate and radiate ALL over this world "making all things new" in the process. Once the true flame of truth is ignited this process will spread like wildfire. It's spiritual fire which is His Love itself. 119293!!
