Emile, to me being born again is an irrational state of being, akin to mass hysteria and brainwashing. Not only that, but I think it is a selfish state of being, not based on self worth and any contribution to Christian works of love and goodness, but much closer to "what can Jesus do for me now?" To me, it is a powerful but ultimately delusional state, and I really wonder what evil is powerful enough to create and maintain it in so many people. This is all evident in your posts, which show little compassion but much divisiveness. I do not feel any spirituality in them, at all. I do not want to fall into the trap of the way you judge people harshly, but I cannot help but wonder how hatred and intolerance possibly cohabit with relief at salvation within you. Do you not feel conflicted internally?
