<<" Fortunately he lives in a quiet removed rural area that probaby helps him maintain a tenuous mental stability that in any other country or culture find him bouncing off walls & going literally ape .">> “That’s hilarious” No, his statement was true. A lot of people have noted your mental deterioration. And living largely apart from society and spending most of your time venting your rage on internet blogs probably insulates you from complete mental breakdown.

But isn't it your obligation to make sure you love those that appear to revile & hate you , even if it were so ? Just checking in on that big #1 order from the "Man" himself that you appear not to follow . Why is it that God needs defenders if it is so obvious he's so in control? Every 5secs a child dies of starvation & this God does nothing ? And in a world that has 2bil Christians , seems there really is a lack of will going on here and a God that does nothing to secure an end to it . There's only the slightest difference from ideology to ideology to see that immense wrong doing has been done with the context of times whether you point to Stalin or the suffering incurred by the divine authorities of previous eras tied in with the ruling landed Royalty . What Stalin or Mao did in a short time , is it no less than the forced suffering of the poor thru the long centuries of oppression & endless series of wars that killed millions as well ? Just as agonizing , just as torturous and all justified by those morals & ethics engrained in the times , all very relative with an evloutionary/survival thread of theocratic nationalism running underneath all . That is about as Darwinian based as it gets ...

You can name not one value nor aspect of any of the basic elements in the sermons of Jesus that any reasonable man had not thought up as well thru reasoning & meditations of the philosophers before. Simple logic that follows from a focus on reason that a balanced man achieves within himself thru effort & reflection . Even if that person were an atheist , he is still cultivating his thoughts from the experience of the world around him , from that source Creation you claim was made by God . So be it , the source of that wisdom comes from access none the less the same source as that of a believer then and the lessons derived could just as well be said to be divinely inspired . Have alread listed here more numeerous to relist but will if necessary every precept from philosophers before already touching on every subject of humility , moderation, civility, fairness, compassion , duty to family , caring , consideration & love of their brothers long before Jesus and said it even better . Can relist all those well known philosophers & their sayings anytime to refresh your memory , most 3centuries before .
