If your big excuse is that man made evil than there's a big loophole in your theory, that would also mean man created love.... So it's either man created good/bad love/evil or your god did.... Which is it?

Why not blame God.
Did he not give Satan dominion here as well as the power to deceive us all?
If Satan is real then we have no power against his God given supernatural power.

None of it was "real", per se. Spirit Science explains it much better than I can. Essentially, all the truth was watered down into metaphors that were taken literally by an uneducated society, before being clouted as truth by businessmen who were more interested in control than enlightenment.
Make sense?

That is why Christianity pushes for obedience while the Jews had previously pushed for virtue and wisdom.
Christianity reversed the Jewish elevation of Eden to a fall to instill guilt in people for seeking knowledge.
Much easier to manipulate the dumb than the bright.

Spirit Science actually explains it a lot better than the Bible ever did. The Bible had a hard time imparting a lot of the information, so it chose to use metaphors that confused people and then say, "Stop asking questions and just listen."

The Roman Empire is about to fall and it will be conquered!
Secret societies have not allowed the truth to go unheard just as other secret societies try to suppress information.
Universal secrets have been kept secret and what bothers me is we are soooo close to war with Israel and Iran.
Christians believe Israel to be the chosen people, while others see Israel for what it is, a metaphor for the children of god from ALL NATIONS, not just one.
Christians will not blink and eye to take down the Moslems! Grrrr..... Drives me crazy!

Time will tell if we can share respect. It is a two way street and reciprocity is required.
We will see if both of our swollen heads deserve to be or not.

Do you realize how arrogant this sounds? It's not a matter of CAN you share respect, it's a matter of how willing you are. If you WANT to respect someone, it won't matter how hard it is. You'll do it. You won't be able to NOT do it.edit on 14-9-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
