I argue with my mom on this issue. We are both Christians.
The difference is that I have a simple moral code that God has given me.
I think a lot of religious people complicate the subject of faith.
My faith resolves around this. It's all I need.
Add in the Golden Rule as well
-
You shall have no other God before me.
-
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images.
-
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
-
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy.
-
Honor your father and mother.
-
Thou shalt not kill.
-
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
-
Thou shalt not steal.
-
Thou shall not bear false witness.
-
You shall not covet.
All the other stuff isn't worth the time to argue about in my view.
This is it. If mankind would live by these rules, each and every single human being, everything woud be ok. Satan then delivered "Do What Thou Wilt" to mankind, and not just through Aleister Crowley, but much, much earlier. People mostly chose the easy path, not the righteous path. Soon they will learn that this has consequences.
Not to shit on your theory here. But his-stories are written by the winners.....aka Crusades and that shit. "They" needed a reason to invade "heathen" so they could "convert" them...also aka rape the women and kill the men.And steal from them....especially that part. Just sayin
