DCF Okay, I am getting back to your questions. <<You said: ''Religions where its practitioners engage their religion with great sincerity and purpose.''>> <<Mark, there are many "religions","sects",in this world that have,IMO, nothing in common with what God desires. Even some of them are very earnest in "worshipping" satan and "love" him much.>> I also remember qualifying those religions as love-based rleigions. I have been on record numerous times as saying that god is the embodiment of love and compassion. << read this: WHERE THERE IS LIFE THERE IS MOTION. As a physical being, you have movement to sustain life, do whatever. It is no different with your spiritual being. It should be "moving" to show its life.So what is the "purpose". Is it just ackle,herky-jerky,Church of Whats Happening Now,My Mindset Movers and Shakers Congregation? >> I am not sure what you meant by this, but if you are talking about motion, motion can also be described as forward movement. IMO, my belief system is the current state of the evolution of spirituality. <<Mark, as you see, I believe that if I am to be "religious" I must. 1. Have a True and Living God 2. Have a living Sacrifice to atone for me. note(LIVING) 3. Have a moving Spirit 4. Accept in faith the "plan" put forth for me. 5. Have a directional purpose to please the God and King who gave me all of the above.>> 1. to me, god as the emodiment of love and compassion is true and living. LOving all regardless of creed, color, denomination, and geopgraphical boundary strikes me as more true of a living god. 2. I dont need the living part, and i dont see where god needs to sacrifice anything for me. 3. Nothing moves more than love 4. I can accept that 5. I can accept that also. DCF, as I have said before, our beliefs our similar in many ways. the difference is that I believe that Gods Love is meant for all, regardless of their belief system. Mark
