Your arrogant and insulting demeanor demonstrates your lack of understanding, your superiority complex, your complete ignorance of the basis for the author’s belief system.
No, I am not an institutionalized Christian. Frankly I tried, but I share with you many of the legitimate criticisms of the institutional theology.
I do not share you arrogant assault on a good hearted searcher for truth.
As a spiritually oriented person I see what you fail to see, being convinced of your belief system.
You cannot see if you refuse to look.
The Siamese twin for arrogance is ignorance. Ignorance is maintained by a “know it all” closed mind.
I just realized I am unfairly attacking you in much the same way you attacked the author. I apologize, but my complaints remain.
The interesting thing is I suspect you and I share much in common, if we had the chance to share a drink and get to know each other.
I wish you well James, and only that you consider learning a little respect for those who’s belief system differs from yours. Insulting, rude behavior does not encourage the possibility of engaging in a possibly creative dialect.
Insults and anger are contagious and promote only discard. I can say this to you because I’ve been there. There was a time when I could have written the same words as you did.
Again I wish you well. I see you as a sincere searcher for truth, that which we all seek, but too often allow ourselves to think we have found it.
