More Positive but Less Harvestable

Thanks, Tenet. I will add just a few tweaks that you probably will agree with. First, the Old Testament God is the vengeful one and Jesus came along to set things right--turn the other cheek, love your neighbor etc. It's those hairy Christian churches calling the combined "Holy" Bible the "word of God" that causes so many leaders/followers to screw things up.

The two testaments are bound together because of all the references that JC, being a Jew, made to the old one. Unfortunately, followers think that anything in that combined publication is good enough to site and use as justification for bad behavior and, worse, confusing the new pacifistic covenant with the old.

Many Christians, despite so much churchianity, do have it right, bless 'em. They love and respect all of "God's creatures."

I know very little about Islam except that, as Christianity, it gets f*cked up plenty by selfish or confused leaders/followers. I think I heard that the name itself is Arabic for "surrender," which is encouraging.

Finally, lest we forget, everything is pre-forgiven, which is what I use the term "grace" for. Murders are committed by 3Ders who are tiny fragments of the One that have that veil around them while here in space/time. The victims and the perpetrators are experiencing what will help the One, and also even themselves, over the long perspective. I agree with enforcing 3D laws, because that provides a semblance of order and stability. Nevertheless I, as a fully authorized representative of the One in this existence (), endeavor to forgive all.
