You can try to interpret and understand a substance by means of its shadow but by doing that it really just becomes a guessing game. At what angle is the light hitting the object to make it cast such a shadow, what type of light, in what environment? Religion has been trying to use this technique as a means to interpret and understand the divine for too long; by using the bible, the law, moral codes, and formula after formula after formula. It’s a dead end of blind leading the blind straight into a ditch.
Maybe the only way to really understand the divine is by understanding that we are his/her image and likeness. When we undoubtedly see that we co-exist as God and Human and when we see that we are joined at the hip we will see a much clearer picture and have a shimmering transcendent reference point.
Religion; mainly Abrahamic religion (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) has created a dissatisfied and angry god to manipulate people into obedience – do good or be punished. Not only is this bullshit but it is psychological abuse. Sin-consciousness is false consciousness. It is a world of illusion separated far from truth. God is neither angry or dissatisfied, that is just religions own hellish image projected because of its own blindness and hatred.
The hammer that Christianity has dropped on the world is falling back on them with multiplied force. It will be dispersed and shattered into pieces. Their every wind of doctrine is being blown away.
God did not create Christianity. He created Humanity. That mirage is being ripped in half. The separatist cultic sect lies in ruins. That which has only served to divide rather than to unite is being divided into garbage bins.
Carrie, You godless religious nut job! Jesus is busy filling 6 large cisterns to the brim with wine and there you are taking a hatchet to the party he’s trying to get started. You did way more harm than good in the name of your own self-righteousness. Militant law enforcement will never bring about good but will only bring about worse conditions.
The Gospel is an invitation to a feast not an announcement that the world will become slaughtered chicken burnt to a crisp. If that’s what these so called preachers want then let them have there burnt chicken to eat but not on account of the world. They can pay for it out of there own pocket. The rest of the world will enjoy the feast of a lifetime and not with welches to drink but intoxicating wine.
The law and commandments shaded all of creation with anything but a cool breeze. It was unquenchable darkness where there is gnashing of teeth. It was separation from The Divine in our minds and therefore it was hell.
The law shadowed us with darkness. Disabling us from seeing the light of day. Hell blared in our ears and blazed behind our eyes effecting how we portrayed everything. It all looked hopeless and destined to destruction until we woke up and realized our graves were emptied and our tortured minds were liberated and renewed.
