When I used the word 'crucify', I meant it in the context in which it is used in "A Course in Miracles"; Where the word crucify signifies 'attack thoughts' or thoughts originated from the ego; much of 'A course in Miracles', addresses this issue. But in reality, the crucifixion is a powerful symbol as we know; As it is used in mostly all the churches of Christianity. Everywhere you go, there you see, the crucifixion, statues of torture. So, is Christianity a cult also, by your definition? That we have to be tortured to get to Heaven? And isn't it the same in the Islamic world; in the cult of Iran? Can we see how these two cults could clash and destroy much of humanity? Like crucifying each other... Much like the cult of the Third Reich did a half century ago. Many millions died; hard to imagine, I used to think; How could that have happened; how can people be so stupid... How soon we repeat what we don't learn. So, sure this Christian cult, and this Islamic cult; Can decide to annihilate each other in the name of God. I would tend to fear these larger cults, of religious nationalism, wouldn't you?
