Educated? or Brainwashed by Dogma and Doctrine? As Indoctrinated.

Knowing intuitively what is just and pleasing to God is called CONSCIENCE. I'm talking about GOD and your talking RELIGION. Too bad you don't know the difference between the two.

Your no different than some of the others posting to this site, pushing your culture of religion, and especially holding it as the only "true" religion. Get a grip. It's people exactly like you who are responsible for this stupid religious warfare. We don't need any more from religion.

The collective history of man has been stifled by religion. What we need is more people adhering to the voice of God that resides with in them. More people behaving justly, both morally and ethically, with out the reservations and exceptions found in the dogma and doctrines of the various religions that declare ALL must be under the yoke of THEIR belief system.
Don't be afraid to cast off your tribalism.
There is a whole world out there of differing opinions, different dances.
Dancing around the fire to the left is no different than dancing around the fire to the right.

What and who we need to police is those individuals who are willing to push some people into the fire just because they don't dance just like them. Jews, Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Buddhist, Black, White, Asian, Aboriginal, Palestinian, British, French, Italian, Arabian, African, South American, Russian, Canadian, Et al.

There is only one land. It's called EARTH. And there is only one people. HUMAN BEINGS.
Drop the tribalism and enter the 21st century before your petty tribal rites have us all embroiled in the conflagration that could be WW3.
