Brumar seems generally ok but I don't know how you can justify opposite points of view and still tie your shoe laces. I would guess with Brumar it is some family tradition he is trying to uphold. Probably descended from a poor family tarnished by the potato famine. With someone like greg or e he tries to justify the whole kit and kaboodle. I can understand Jesus and forgiveness and unconditional love or St. Francis of Assisi rejecting the world and living a pure life but the idiots like Augustine came along and invented original sin Let's face it they were Italians running a protection racket for your soul. Later idiots like greg or e instead of just becoming Christians decided to oppose it and became protestants. "For centuries, the mystics of spirit had existed by running a protection racket - by making life on earth unbearable, then charging you for consolation and relief, by forbidding all the virtues that make existence possible, then riding on the shoulders of your guilt, by declaring production and joy to be sins, then collecting blackmail from the sinners."
