Sorry,, it is not deeds, but sins. And expiation of sin against the comunity or against oneself (which also endanger the comunity) must be paid with sacrifices. In any society, for any human being. Because that is the human nature and that is the nature of game theory. If not the alternative is suicide, the ultimate sacrifice
The sacrifice of Christ calm the desire for sacrifice and substitute it by less onerous sacrifices: prayer for example. That is the central point with effective pshychologial healing for every human being. You can laugh at or dismiss it. But it is evident again, in the light of game theory and evolution. See for example https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/everything-list/OxWk4otaaec/6v6Ou0XOq1QJ Brent: I´m not interested in the mithopoesis that you present, that is evidently, gnostic and therefore it is deeply antichristian. Since you are a gnostic (despite that you don´t know it), you think, in the deep, that humans can escape from the limitations of reality. evolution and game theory among them, once they are free from he oppression of shadow evil entities like capitalism, God, the Curch, The Pentagon, The Global Warming deniers, and other conspirations . Since we start from very different points of view I´m sorry I can not stablish a conversation with you. I don´t want to waste my time. (not to mention to waste my time reading the products of your sterile and biased hate against the christianity, western history, and, upto to a point, everything) 2013/7/12 meekerdb <[email protected]> > On 7/12/2013 7:03 AM, Alberto G.
