Religious Education

I’ve been saying this for years. I’ll happily admit I was wrong if the thing would just show up and prove its existence. I actually don’t mind being proven wrong cos I’m not a lil bish.
I can’t say I’d worship it though. I’d have a lot of questions to put to it before I even considered any level of respect let alone worship.
Don’t get me wrong, if it was proven that this thing created Glencoe, it definitely deserves props for that. But on the flip side, I have to also consider the possibility that it created childhood cancer and cot death and politicians. So that would give me pause.

This makes it look pretty "simple" - - Just don't get educated and you'll stay (be) a good Christian (I guess)?

A lot of irony and dysfunctionality going on in all these messages 🙈

'Thou shalt not kill, with a few exceptions '

People are free to believe in gods if they find it helpful, but there is no need for gods in order to live a good life.

Morality doesn’t mean "obeying gods". Morality means "liberating yourself and others from suffering".

The double standard is unbelievable. Why do we get labelled differently?

Paul only ever received visions of Jesus. that's just a fact.

Oh but I’m sure he’s coming back for real this time…

"In one of the Upanishads it says, when the glow of a sunset holds you and you say 'Aha', that is the recognition of the divinity. And when you say ‘Aha’ to an art object, that is a recognition of divinity. And what divinity is it? It is your divinity, which is the only divinity there is. We are all phenomenal manifestations of a divine will to live, and that will and the consciousness of life is one in all of us, and that is what artwork expresses."
-Joseph Campbell

The narcissism of this theology is astronomical.

Interesting Fact: Jesus and his followers didn't believe he (Jesus) was Divine since they all believed the end of the world was near. It wasn't till years later that Christian sects began writing that Jesus was Divine (equal to god) which then made him Divine because it said so in a book they wrote.
