One religionist trying to dominate over another religionist by quoting their "Holy Books".

You and several others of these self named "Christian" and "Muslim" make good bed fellows. You can harp back and forth citing scripture and pretend that your doing Gods will. Your not. Your doing your adopted cultures will. Unless your Jewish or Arab your belief system was brought to you by murder and oppression, rape and pillage, and your natural cultural heritage/faith was suppressed and stolen from you along with your DNA.

Your a mutant who doesn't know who or what he really is and is left with no recourse but to regurgitate another's cultural mythology. You have forsaken God to bow before a man. You do not have any position superior to the Moslem. You both are on your knees before a man, worshiping a man. You deserve each other and your culture of guilt and fear.

Do what you will in the name of your religion but please, don't suggest that it's what God wants. It's what man wants. Power over his fellow beings. To influence and dominate them for the social status and money such power brings.

Kou-Tou. Adopt the position of subservience to man. In your blind acceptance of religion and cultural mythology you will never know the freedom God gives to those who establish a personal and direct connection to God. Don't take my word for it. Run back and ask your middleman what you ought to think.
Perhaps one day you'll be lucky enough to even die for your religion. Pity though. God doesn't have a religion. It's man made.

All representations are idealisations. Your realism is no more real than your sense of reality if your reality is a product of what you have chosen to represent your idealisation of your world. Fear of living and fear of dying have most turned away from the starkness of the truth. The brave peer into that stark, bare, unadulterated truth and see the simplicity and the beauty and are lifted up by the presence of God and no longer fear. We walk in the present tense and in the presence of God. No religion with it's hatreds, warfare, oppression and supposition of cultural superiority will ever be able to transcend the glory of being connected to the truth.

The first truth being that religion is just another form of government.

Wakey, wakey.....
