Yes joe spot on...sufism....merle Edgar,
Some religions preach killing of infidels, those not "yet" converted to the ways of the self-righteous and self-forgiving Camel-thief. He wrote himself a "hall-pass" in his Koran (people raised in American public [government...] schools will understand the reference). May all our religious codes, and other codes, keep us free from such people and such dastardly ways. Imagine: their "Book" says these things, and they read it and go ahead and trust it, and enact the actions. The chapter "The Spoils" says enough for me. There's no way to hide the intent by re-translation(s), nor commentary. Danger, Will Robinson! Reboot, pls. Yet, I trust the Sufis with my life. Mysticism separates the grain from the mould-infected chaff. Sufism is a tradition of transmission, like our Zen, not dependent on words or letters. Salam malecum. --Joe > Edgar Owen <edgarowen@...> wrote: > > Anyone who gets their morals from some religion has none of their own...
