The irony of it all is that Steve attacks the perverted religion of Christianity and suggest something that is somehow closer to True Christianity. Unfortunately he is still using the weapons of the old theory of life.
I'd like to quote Master Tolstoy:
Quote:

In the first theory of life a man's life is limited to his one individuality; the aim of life is the satisfaction of the will of this individuality. In the second theory of life a man's life is limited not to his own individuality, but to certain societies and classes of individuals: to the tribe, the family, the clan, the nation; the aim of life is limited to the satisfaction of the will of those associations of individuals. In the third theory of life a man's life is limited not to societies and classes of individuals, but extends to the principle and source of life--to God.

Steve is still using Violence, and that's Level 2.
There is no easy way to do this.... I discovered it recently talking with an old woman in the train. We engaged in a nice conversation and at one point I steered the discussion to religion. She was a Christian-Orthodox, believing in her Church. All I tried to do is point out certain inconsistencies between what Christ taught and what Church permits and even encourages. She was left speechless. She knew she could not contradict me. And yet, I felt I hurt her somehow. And I regretted that. At one point she took advantage of a phone call I received and pretended to go to sleep.
Who am I to wake up people?
