Yea, I can see how you would think that hitler, polpot, saddam, stalin, ghegus kan (just to name a few) are religious zealots
No. You have it wrong. I’m not defending any of these new-age, earth bound religions. Nor will I criticize any belief as false. It’s all a belief system.
I will say this: If I fell for this idea that I was “saved” because some new, stretched translation of the Bible read that I was, I would listening to Satan’s gospel, not God’s. The Commandments are exactly that, not suggestions.
I have gone to many churches. They have two things in common: they want more members. They want more money. All these arguments that concern dogma are actually about money and pride.
