No I am not out to punish Christians. And I give no credit at all to Christian training because I was just as brainwashed from childhood and tradition in the bible belt as the people I try to get to quit proselyting with detrimental dogma. I not only wasn't aided by it but was taught a lot of very negative thinking which in turn brought on negative results. I had one hell of a time dealing with my normal sexuality desires. Don't get me wrong. My wet dreams were full of lust and I was led to believe that was going to cause me eternal suffering. But my desire for sex was the stronger of the two and there was no way to quit lusting. Due to my belief I married the wrong woman who had nothing in common with me just to be experiencing the sex I dreamed about. My position is heaven and hell are a state of consciousness experienced only while in the body. The soul is the real me working thru mind and matter to perfect my creation. The only evil we have to face at death is the follow through of reaping what we have sown. You never have and never will hear me say how others will believe or go to hell. I do not have to go to church or beg others to go or repent. We are each responsible for our actions and the sooner we learn not to depend on God to perform miracles; the sooner we will learn to let the God part of us guide our lives. We each have a different path to tread. My path is right for me. I have no right to expect someone to choose the same path unless it is because of something of the way inspires them to follow. Why people think I am trying to harm anyone is beyond belief. I am the most non-violent person ever accused of this. I know I spew words that cut. Truth does hurt in many cases. But it only is directed at misinformed EGO. Not the person to whom said.
