Oh goodie .. Is it not blasphemous for we mortals to be attempting to raise ourselves above the throne of God? Our vain attempts at coalescing our conscious understanding into what we were told by another mortal and passing it off as GOD himself - instead of listening to that God of creation whom we attest to hold and love so dearly .. Is all this nothing more than an exercise in granting power of our decision making process to man? Perhaps the biggest tragedy is the worship of scripture, its contents, and its many contrived interpretations over what we as human beings honestly already have inside us?
If we truly are the offspring of deity - and this deity is immortal, omniscient, alpha and omega - perhaps the biggest "SIN" (or missing the point) is that right now we are all simply human? Full of our beautiful imperfections, difficulties, tragedies, triumphs and our small attempts at creation? Oh, and - for you bible thumpers - if we are supposed to be like Jesus - exactly what organized Church did Jesus go to? That's the one I want to belong to. On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 1:52 PM, Doran L.
