Well the last time I checked fear was an emotion.

Well you are certainly free to believe what you want. Christianity is a man made philosophy as well.

I have learned that fear based beliefs, new age, Christian, or otherwise are destructive. While beliefs that have their motivational base in love, wonder, curiosity, and other healing emotions are very powerful ways to live life.

You are right Card W fear based beliefs are very destructive and lead to unnatural frustrations. However, despite the many times that people used the bible to achieve power, murder etc... we still have the testimonies of Jesus. They have been there for about 2000 years. It is also possible to discover God because of love, curiosity etc. This balance between a judgemental life and living according to the law and the testimony destroys the faith of many. Judgemental people are very very destructive. BUt there is a difference between being judgemental or speaking the divisive truth. The divisive truth is the word from God which is the reason why some people have the right to tell others how people should live.

Well, that belief is the source of abusive religious practice. No human has the right to determine how someone else should live their life or what their beliefs should be.

We certainly have the right to protect ourselves if someone else's choice causes destruction, but you have no right to determine what is true for me and I have no right to determine what is true for you.

Sorry you misunderstood. you are absolutely right about what you just said. What i was trying to tell you is that just because there are many different groups of 'christians' who misuse the bible, it doesn t mean that the bible is the only truth. Now if there are persons who can interpret the bible in a truthfull manner, these guys are doing a great job. But i agree with a lot about the way you think. Everyone should decide for oneselves what to believe. In catholic terms this means literally 'everybody should be a heretic'

sorry again, i mean of course, the bible is the ONLY source of truth regarding spiritual manners

I ve wondered many times how the Catholic Church could play a prominent role in the new world order. But after the testimony of Monreau i think i know the scenario. As calamities increase, the demons will contact the political leaders to tell them the importance of sunday keeping. The New World order will be implemented and the so called church of morals and values will play a very prominent role. Please teach yourselves while you have the oppurtunity. I hope none of us will be a foolish virgin without oil.
