Religious Tolerance

"In our Brotherhood, we live the great Christian festivals of Christmas and Easter as simply as we live the other days: we pray, meditate and sing. And even if we give special thought to the birth, death or resurrection of Christ, we do nothing exceptional. If this leaves some people dissatisfied, they are free to go and celebrate these festivals in their churches or their temples. Everyone must decide what form to give to his religious feelings, and he must allow others to do the same. The fact that they have different beliefs and rituals must never be a reason for people to attack each other. It is unwise to destroy the lives of others in the name of such and such a religious founder. Rather than provoking endless disorder and strife, people must embrace one another, help one another and fraternize with one another. In doing so they will demonstrate that they are followers of the one true religion, the universal religion of light and love, whose model is the sun. "

He is a potentail brother in Jesus. And as a fellow human being he is brother in the flesh. For me the border line in faith is about shared faith in Jesus as Lord and Redeemer.

Light, love and the sun, Solve et Coagula? Your focus on light and the sun coincides with one of my previous interests; namely what happens if one stops a beam of light by slowing it down using a series of prisms, but such a thing seems to be 'impossible'.

Mosheh Thezion: if we are all descendents of two humans then we are all brothers, sisters, sons and daughters of our creator. But you may question the validity of the Adam and Eve story. Perhaps this short story may sway you, or at least provide some interest to you:

(For the full story you might want to inspect the bottom of this page, with relation to Gershom)

So, Moses' guilt allowed him to discover 'the LORD', after which he could return to Egypt. This discovery allowed a mass Exodus from Egypt, as Pharoah allowed many families to leave Egypt, eventually. Following this Exodus:

Doesn't the 'ending' to this story sound like the descent of an Alien spaceship?

 

IF YOU ALL CONSIDER ALL MANKIND TO BE YOUR FAMILY....

then it is a sad day... for obviousl this is one fucked up family... that lets its brothers and sisters eat trash and sleep in the cold... often simply because they dont adopt the same reigious views as the one who might help them.

thats messed up... and not what GOD said to do in duet 15...
and not at all what JESUS said to do in the entire NT..

Spectrum;

Otside the bible there's no evidence that moses even existed.

Moses myth related to the legend of Sargon;
click

Moses myth related to the legend of Sinuhe;

So it stands to reason, that the biblical moses perhaps was a madeup story of these two previous Egyptians myths, passed on as real events. But it is clearly shown to be myth.

Egyptian myths are true.

 

Yay, religion. The cause of, and the solution to, most of mankind's problems. Kinda like beer.

 

C7 myths are not true stories. You don't even believe in "individuality".

Is individuality a myth?

*A fiction or half-truth, especially one that forms part of an ideology.
A fictitious story, person, or thing: “German artillery superiority on the Western Front was a myth” (Leon Wolff)* http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=myth

*In common usage, myth means a falsehood — a story which some believe but which is not true. In this sense, a myth is a "mere story" that might hold meaning meaning for people but is not historical fact.* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myths

Individuality exists in illusion (mind), but not in reality. Myths are ancient stories which modern people can't understand because the old words and concepts have lost their meaning. Because of this, people think "myths" (for lack of another word) are false, so the word myth has become associated with the word false, but this doesn't mean the ancient stories were not true (in one way or another)

myth: "A traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people, as by explaining aspects of the natural world or delineating the psychology, customs, or ideals of society: the myth of Eros and Psyche; a creation myth."

"a traditional story accepted as history; serves to explain the world view of a people" http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=myth

etc. what words mean is not so important in this case, the important are the things words are associated with.

 

That is the most mystical bull shit anyone can believe.

It is thoughts like these that corrupt governments become tirants, that take freedom away from idividuals that lead to the collective, such as Communism, Fascism, Socialism, and religious forms of governments such as the state of Islam.

Basically you are a simpleton, one who has no sense of self c7, an idiot willing to be exploited by those who you cosider to have authority, you don't question their motives, or if their motives are rational, and amoral, you just do without question what is demanded of you. You are right! Your not an idividual, but an IDIOT!

And there it is. Hmm, I once volunteered and worked in a church kitchen. I never once heard anyone quote the Bible during that time. Some things need not be said, maybe. I need to do more volunteer work... That was a good thing.

 

No dumbass myths are story that were told orally and passed on, of which each person exagerated a bit more, each freaking time, by the time the stories were writen they were already know as children stories. Little Red Riding Hood, is a mythical story of the sun and nightfall, so are other ancient stories. Read 1001 tales here

Godless

 

Well if you happen to be in the Houston Area, you can volunteer here

Godless

 

Interesting. How is your volunteer program going?

 

Well first of all is not mine, and btw they do join all sorts of other groups, wether they be religious or not!.

 

So, they join religious groups simply for the opportunity to do good things within the group...like serve in a kitchen serving meals to the less fortunate?

I think the spirit of the above is a good one.

 

It's called secular humanism Bowser, they truly don't discriminate.

Yea! that's cool. Many other secular/humanist groups do the same.

 

Agreed It is a sad world we live in. Don't you just hate it?
