So what's your beef? I would like to understand and I think it would make a good discussion. |
I love Jesus, and work with him as an ascended master; I see him as perhaps the master of masters.
However, Christian churches historically have been TOXIC
to anyone with different beliefs. The Catholic church is a beaurocratic organization with aims at governing the world. The first recorded genocide was perpetrated by the Catholic church against Christians, the Cathars. They decimated them, and distroyed their leadership, so now what once was a separate country is a region in France.
When folks speak of Christianity, they usually speak of it from a perspective of Christian theology. To me, that theology and the numerous Christian organizations are more about perpetuating their organizations than acting like Christ. Christianity is soooo far from what Christ taught, I'm pretty sure Jesus, a Jew, would hardly recognize it.
Still, spirituality can be found in all religious organizations. I love Christians who are truly spiritual, and living in VA I know many of them. If their religion feeds their spirituality, I am glad for them, and I respect them enough that I would never try to debate with them over the pros and cons of their path.
