EXACTLY!!!!
Especially treat others as though they were you and there is a greater power somewhere of some SORT.
And a God who wants to be worshipped like the Christian God of the bible says ... he's a monster and a bigot and quite arrogant. No thanks.
It may not be our job on earth to worship a God
But to Create One.

Hi Lori,
In my opinion it would seem that most of mankind created God in their
own image, this does not bind him to THEIR beliefs. The "ALL
POWERFULL" "OMNIPOTENT" etc are mankinds descriptions. I doubt the
Creator suffers from some form of inferiority complex that would have
him desiring people to worship him.
God has left mankind in charge.
He didn't make starving people produce more babies.
It is written "God helps those who help themselves"
Like a parent, you give them the basic tools to make it on their own.
Once Christ came to Earth, we have been left to our own devices.
Pollution was made by man, most birth defects etc can be traced to
chromozone damage, or chemical influences which were chosen by mankind.
To expect an artist to come back everytime somebody screws up his work
with graffiti is unrealistic.
Of course I admit, this is merely my thoughts on the subject.
I've found nothing wrong with Christ's teachings, ex: "Love (treat) thy
neighbor as thyself" If the concept of universal love (as in family) is
a bad ideology, then maybe you could explain why?
I don't know how many mistakes have been made by those keeping records,
translating concepts wrong etc, and for these reasons I don't believe
in "organized religion". I have more questions than answers. But I do
believe in something bigger than all this short life. Personal
experience has left me knowing death is not the end. I feel like this
life, like the one before it, is just a stage of learning.
Not preaching, just sharing the LOVE...

It's not the fall that hurts.
