I deny that true Christianity is dead, just the control addict authoritarian version of it!

Call it what you will Peter even as you and your ilk embrace Islam, its authoritative autocracy and the thought police it embraces, I believe, as part of its even more flawed philosophy?

At one time esoteric Christians met in each other's homes and broke bread in remembrance of their crucified Founder/Teacher! Nothing more.

And where the real rise and fall occurred as the sun worshipping Constantine changed it all and imposed various pagan rituals, controls and sacrifice at an altar on it!

Your friend, not the only one who sat through the rendition of God save the Queen!

Real Christianity as created by its original founder and teacher has ben dead for the best part of 1,500 years!

Even as sword carrying Popes led mass murdering blood soaked armies on genocidal conquests that imposed the new Constantin religious order on the conquered!

And therefore of little moment what happened to the doctrine of the English church and the parrots who promulgate its flawed belief system. Or the Queen, one of the richest in Britain, who is its head, allegedly?

So , Politics and Religion don't mix. In any shape , form or guise... ie. Religious NGOs'.

A lesson that has yet to be fully understood by established Religions !

' So , Politics and Religion don't mix. In any shape , form or guise... ie. Religious NGOs'.'

hence we have the warmist religion ripping the people off and deceiving the gullible.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

Christianity isn't threatened. But the Christian church hierarchies might be.

I'm not sure that's such a bad thing.

Returning the faith to its pre-Constantine roots would be its salvation.

Time to start seeking out some catacombs.

Does anybody really think that Saint Jesus of Galilee would ever had anything to do with ANY of the institutional churches, in any time and place.
What is the nature of the "kingdom" that Saint Jesus of Galilee was communicating about while he was alive. And how does anyone, one at a time do to enter it? http://www.dabase.org/up-5-3.htm

This essay addresses the power-and-control-seeking nature of big-time institutional "religion", and the hollow words of all of the big-time talkers of big-time false religion.

Section 17 of this reference gives an extended version of the above original essay.

By the way the last section (25) of this essay provides a profound esoteric Spiritual Understanding of Cosmic Reality and of "Jesus" and "Mary"

Can christians who like everyone else in their dreadful entire God-less sanity are like NARCISSUS http://www.beezone.com/narcissus.html return to a pre-Constantinian form of christian-ism..

Mhaze and Daffy, agree and it's time to return Christianity to its original roots and founding Fathers unrevised, unedited teachings, rather than this or that massively misrepresented re interoperation of the Rabbi's/Jesus's teachings!

Not for nothing is it writ large, know the truth and the truth will set you free!
