Law of One Religion?

[Monica]

Hi Monica. From reading your post I get the feeling that you do not look positively on organized religion. With the way you worded the opening post do you really expect anyone to answer in the affirmative?

I have a question for you: do you think people who look to religion for guidance are necessarily mistaken in doing so?

Hi Spaced! No, I don't look positively on anything that denies people their own free will and seeks to control them. Not to mention, that there have been countless wars fought in the name of religion. 

I think organized religion is a mixed bag. It's a tossup whether it has done more harm or good, but overall I'd say it's done more harm.

It's not my place to decide for another person whether they should follow a religion or not. Everyone makes their own choices and they must have their own reasons for choosing as they do. But, we are veiled. Many choices are made because of that veil. For example, if people weren't veiled and remembered their past lives, they could never accept a simplistic 'heaven/hell' philosophy...if they understood karma, they wouldn't fall for the 'Jesus died for your sins' stuff.

And yet, here we are. The Logos chose this veiling so that's the situation we're dealing with. 

My main interest is this: Clearly, Jesus taught some very advanced concepts, yet his teachings got grossly corrupted. 2000+ years later, we don't even know what he really said, since the oldest fragment is dated about 100 years after his death. Yet millions of people base their lives on snippets of dialog attributed to him, wars have been fought over those ancient books, families have been torn apart over differences in belief, etc. What's to stop this from happening to the Law of One? Is anyone concerned that the Law of One might turn into a religion?
