You must not have been here very long.

There are those here who believe very much in Jesus, and in what Jesus did and there are those who don't. And, in some strange way we're kind of getting along which is very different than in religion, where divisions are set up along rigid lines that extend from each person's justified church.

Where did Jesus ever mention the word 'Church'? Where did he say, 'You must believe in me, or you will go to Hell'? Where did he say, 'make all mankind your enemy'? Where did he say, 'engender hatred wherever you go'?

Where did he say 'make sure your neighbor is Christian, and make sure he changes his mind to do what we do before you love him', and after he doesn't change their minds, perpetually warn them of Hell with Damnation'? These are all evil concepts that cause division and hatred, anger and fear. And this is the legacy of Jesus Christ and his desire that all people become like brothers and sisters to each other?

There are those here who are calling out to the madness with what we see as truth, like the gauze has been taken away from our eyes.

Those who can't hear what we're saying because of all the nastiness and hatred that others have added to 'the faith' do what we think is right to do, which is speak the truth of why this horror has grown into this beast called 'Religion'.

At least in my own case, I am fighting the dragon that I perceive... And, I will fight that perceived dragon with every ounce of my strength and every word that I utter and in the end God will comfort me with a "Damned good job, child. You spoke the truth at every moment, and never let up on speaking the truth. I'm very proud of you."

You can say anything you'd like, for you're just another man to me and I won't fear men, and neither will I fear love.
