You obviously have not been reading my posts.
I've stated previously that I don't like
what organized religion has done to the
world. That I've come to see however,
that true religion is internal not external.
What some have done in the name of religion,
projecting their neuroses, even perpetrating
evil on the world, does not make religion as
a mystical phenomenon invalid.As I've stated
earlier - secularized
organized religions have become, in many cases,
as calcified as other institutions that form the
structure of our modern world. Again, as I've stated
previously, our religious institutions have far too
often become handmaidens of the status quo, while
the genuine religious experience is anything but that.
Experience of the spirit breaks through illusions of our
guilt and separateness. It is radically committed to the
natural goodness and inherent openess that lies at the
center of who we really are.
Anyway, we're obviously not connecting on this subject.
And I'm finding it rather tedious to keep on repeating
myself. I'm not looking to convert you or anyone else,
nor do I claim that my belief is right and yours is wrong.
It's simply right for me.
I respect your right to believe whatever
you wish. I only ask that you do me the same courtesy.
As I've written in other threads, I don't fear hell
because I can't fathom it. I don't seek heaven because
it offers no image I can grasp. I only struggle to find
myself, to love my fellow human beings, and to hope that
in this way I am truly loving God.
I shan't be responding to you any further because as I said
earlier, for me this subject has run its course.
Enjoy your day.
