The above paragraph is based on the agreement that we are slaves to our environment. I don't believe this to be true. You are projecting your beliefs onto a majority of people who do not agree with you, and then filtering them through that criterion.
This is perhaps why you can't understand another point of view other than your own?

Yes, I love myself unconditionally. I have unseated your entire belief system in one sentence.
One a serious Note: You claim to be a proponent of the Bible? Again I ask, what bible do you believe, and do you believe it word for word?
If you don't believe it word for word, do you use your intuition and "gut" to decipher the meaning? If god allows
you to use your intuition do decide your beliefs, how then is it wrong for someone on the other side of the world to use their intuition from a frame of reference as someone who has never seen a bible let alone read it?
