I'll send you pics of the notes I wrote after a bit. I think they're pretty spot on.

The best anyone can do about Jesus Christ is to understand his teachings. You can't apply them or really accept him without understanding his points.

it is understandable why some are critical to religion but it's had bad effects because the bible is probably the book with the most useful, and life changing lessons

The truth is truth with or without a label on that truth

I think the point of the Bible or any holy text is to just document that somebody went through all this crap of life before.

Word of God=Written in your heart
Holy Spirit=Word of God interpreter.

When I talk to people who are upset or depressed or whatever I point them to the holy Scriptures it doesn't matter what religion, but just to show them that somebody already went through what they're going through.

Job

And if you do the wrong stuff then bad stuff happens

Morality isn't Magic or Superstition it's just practical.

But for some reason people want to repel against what's good

it's essentially stories passed down orally for generations before being written that teach life lessons. most modern"Christians" don't actually understand or at least apply these lessons in their own life

Because they aren't aware that there is a difference between what is of good, and what is of the world. They cant help it.

It's about tribalism and branding in many cases. And it's taboo to actually know anything.

Modern Christians=Largely Godless. Generations of blind following blind

I think religion was misused by many, so it grew a sour reputation to many

Gnosticism which means basically just the pursuit of the knowledge of Truth, is frowned upon because there's too many chiefs and not enough Indians I guess.

but now we are seeing the disasters caused by the other end of the spiritual pendulum

Religion is just an organized system of beliefs. And when you get too much into memorization then intelligence goes away.

indeed

Society automatically divides itself into different layers of intelligence

It's important to realize that there is worldly perfect and spiritually perfect. Those who don't recognize that fact are doomed to endlessly chase worldly perfection, but will miss the prize of spiritual perfection.

That is known as the caste system in India. This system exists everywhere all over the world.

I find it interesting how atheists claim to be supporters of individual rational thinking but are more closed minded than most christians

Intelligent Christianity is studying
Spiritual Christianity is understanding

I was trailer trash when I grew up. It's because that's what my mom was. That was my cast.

then turn around complaining how religious people don't think for themselves

Hey man, my caste was failing marriage and family death. Everyone has their own race to run.

Failing marriage between my parents

yeah

Everyone has a race equal in length, but different in track shape to run

the bible never says only those who deserve major struggles face them

I feel ya.

Major struggles are subjective. Everyone has a threshold

I seem to want difficulty.

I suppose

I only play the game of life in expert mode, homie

lmao

Hehe

expert mode, zero lives, no weapon playthrough

Recognizing the importance of forgiveness and recognizing the difference between thoughts, inner monologue, and revelation are the two most important things to find peace. The rest will fall into place.
So has been my experience, anyway.
