The idea of someone citing "scripture" makes me hurl. Your investment in those words does not mean they are of any significance in the tao. They are but flailings into nothingness to me. The audacity of some asshat to proclaim his writings as "inspired by god"... well, that's as offensive as it gets to me.
Why do we not bow to the bum on the street who rambles of salvation? Why are his babblings not scripture? Why are these words in this thread not scripture? Why is your bible better than my bible? Why is a bible good in the first place?
With a face such as yours (I presume thats your actual appearence), I understand where all your bitterness is coming from. But rather then trying to do something about it (like perhaps getting a new attitude), you prefer to condemn the Holy Scriptures.
Well I've got some news for you, not everyone is as shallow minded as you. It is not your looks that will make people get along with you - it is your attitude. Unfortunately, with your present attitude, I doubt if people around you actually value your company.
Because that person on the street most likely could have been a drug abuser, could have been a victim of abuse, could have been a victim of the ills of society, - and just could not rationalise why he or she went through those things. That person on the street is no different from you. The only difference between the two of you is that:
1. His mental disease is judged "crazy" by 'society'
2. Your mental disease is judged "okay" by 'society'
It is my duty to help people like you and people like that person on the street. In my experience it is easier to help people on the streets and restore them back to sanity, then to help people like you who prefer to remain in their insanity.
And, there is only one Holy Scriptures!. What people like me are trying to do today is to restore the Scriptures to ITS Accurate Form.
If you do study the Scriptures without bias you will find that two thousand years have allowed some misguided individuals to change certain contents to fit their demonic thinkings.( I do hope you try and do your research)
"Because you think it so.
I don't." - wesmorris.
I dont think so - I believe so!!
And you are right - you dont think, and worse you dont believe!!
