Re: Christ as Imagination

I limit God of my understanding to love... and love doesn't dash children against rocks, stone unruly children or kill one's enemies...

For me God is the sum of all love but not just for those like me but for those not like me... Religious texts justify homicide and say God did it... but for me... when one person with a soul kills another person with a soul... they killing a piece of God... I believe this is why people will accuse whole lots of people not like them of not being human... so they can kill without remorse... and declare God the victor so they do not have to look inside to find the real killer...

I can read sacred religious texts and for me... I can discern two spirits both called God by His many names but one spirit is the spirit created by man who was murderer from the beginning and the father of lies and the other is God who is love. I can read those texts and not let them poison me with the words with a murderous spirit sprinkled into the words loving spirit. Religious books are dangerous books to read if one believes their deity kills their enemies... I would caution anyone to read any religious text with an understanding that there is a villain in most religious books and the most likely villain in most religious books is called God, Allah, Jehovah, or the God of War... I choose to cherry pick religious texts and find God who is love but I say to approach religion and its propaganda with extreme caution or your children and loved ones may be poisoned by the spirit of murder.
