If you get a chance to read the Derek Flood stuff (link at the bottom of part 4) he talks about satan being "the accuser" and the fact that the "ransom" offered by Jesus was not to appease God at all, but to silence the accuser - so yes - condemning religion is NOT a "God thing" at all!Kerry Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051264598690393719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253824019426659573.post-68658570447563124142011-10-09T22:17:11.600+11:002011-10-09T22:17:11.600+11:00Kerry, this is good and I can't find anything ...Kerry, this is good and I can't find anything to disagree about and plenty that resonates with my experience.<br /><br />There is something really wrong with the 21st Century version of the "current oppressive religious system of Christianity" as Jesus would most certainly condemn it too<br /><br />Yet time and again, I see Christian conservatives use their version of Christianity to isolate, alienate, differentiate, judge and condemn others that are not like them or do not fit their legalistic, unforgiving, rigid and ultimately insecure version of Christianity.<br /><br />Their God is my Satan, as they are not representing the loving and forgiving God you describe so well above. <br /><br />I saw a poster on a friends Facebook image collection,<br />"Jesus was a bleeding heart, long-haired. peace=loving, anti-establishment, liberal hippie freak with strange ideas. Everything Conservatives Hate"<br /><br />We are in challenging times and we need a lot of big changes in the decisions we make about the world. We need a revolutions in thinking, then a social revolution and a religious revolution. <br /><br />cheers, DavidDavidhttp://on.fb.me/DavidM-Bnoreply@blogger.com
