very misinformed. They are racist, is that christlike heart stuff? They are homophobic and extremely sexist. Christlike, right? And they are a cult with nothing biblical, old or new testament about them. Yeah they take bits and pieces from christianity and even mention jesus but the context in which they do is very wacky indeed. Let me also make one thing perfectly clear. I don't care what religion any one person may have faith in. Period. But I do care when that religion is used to make one person feel superior to another because of race, sexual orientation and gender. If it is violent, it is not a religion. It is an earthly agenda perpetrated by individuals with no good in mind. If I have to believe or end up in some indescribable place of eternal pain and misery, it is not very loving of the human being by a god with a universe this huge. I sometimes look into space with my telescope and I just can't believe that god could be that small minded. I do hope for balance one day to be brought to the human condition and the evil in the human heart changed. Big hope but I do hope. The evil that humans have perpetrated in the name of god is a sad commentary on some type of creator supposedly guiding these individuals and may they and all other evil doers get their comeuppance. In the mean time I take the best that I can find in all religions and try to hold on to that while dealing with this life.
