I agree, however he is manifestly ignorant of the Infinite One, thus he causes pain to himself and others.

I'm not saying I agree with 'molestation' I'm saying that it does not matter what it is that you do. Your always loved unconditionally,
infinitley.
Of course not. However it does matter what you do, since your actions either lead to consciousness of the Infinite, or into ignorance of the
Infinite.

Which is why I begin by saying the teaching of redemption is to save yourself. If you can hurt yourself, then again it does matter what you do, since
your actions lead you further into pain and separation from divinity, or further away from pain and closer to divinity.

Do some research, where was the bible written?
The Bible was edited and written for decades and centuries after the death of Christ. It is based largely upon previously held beliefs about
redemption from other cultures, a combination mostly of Judaism and Gnosticism. Originally the streams of thought were more philosophical, at one
point Dionysus and Bacchus were identified as Christ figures during the first five centuries after the death of Christ.
These ideas of redemption do indeed come from places where reincarnation is believed in, from the Gnostic angle, it is Egyptian and Greek, with heavy
Orphic influences.
The Judaic teaching essentially comes down to the idea of Tikkun, the restoration of the Light of God, which can only be performed by the individual
and indicates that there is a disconnect between human consciousness and consciousness of the Infinite.
In the far east the teachings are more well defined than in the west, since most of the esoteric knowledge of the west originated at some point in the
east. However, in all cases the teaching is never "Do what you want and God will reveal itself" it is always outlined as a specific process which
must be followed in order to reconnect with the divine.
Why would every single tradition of every age and every religion in every culture teach this if it didn't matter in the slightest what we did or did
not do as individuals?
Thus, if anyone as an individual wishes to achieve union with the Infinite, they must follow one of the many paths which will lead them to the
consciousness of the Infinite.
This was probably the original teaching of Christ, as he was first Dionysus, Osiris, Orpheus, and many more. Yet as is often the case, the words of a
prophet are often corrupted by the disciples, and the veil falls again and again over the holy of holies, as a wiser man than I once said.
My whole point being that modern Christianity has completely lost touch with the original esoteric teaching of redemption. Their idea of being
Christlike is to adhere to a set of exoteric ideas and actions, rather than ascending within to their own inner light. This is why so few people
respect it as a religion, and why so many people have so many problems with it and other religions which have experienced similar forms of corruption.
