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.
How does the devil work? Through DECEPTION, LIES, and manipulation right?
How do you pull this off? By getting people to value things that aren't important like money. By getting people to believe in subjective quotes, stories, and intangibles.
How does the legal system work?
It works by using complicated language and changing definitions. If the language was clear and simple. It would be hard to manipulate someone.
Evil needs complicated and confusing to control people.
A person cannot control me by confusing me with subjective language.
The 10 commandments are easy to understand. The 10 commandments are easy to not confuse with another meaning.
No. I am a minimalist.
