Concepts of God and Religion

70. You don't understand my motivation.

As the messenger says, it's the message that's important, not the messenger.

That's why I mention it, as much as possible. And it's not because I am "cultishly defensive."

The efforts to paint the All Faiths Coalition for Peace Freedom and Justice as a cult, are, on their face, misleading and deceptive. How can an All Faiths Coalition be a cult?

To claim I am defensive is to misunderstand my motivation, because my motivation is to advocate and promote the message, and, when critics and skeptics try to discredit or denigrate it, I try to correct them and explain why they got it wrong.

I do not defend the messenger-author, the modern son of man. He, by his own confession, admits he is a flawed human being, a fellow companion in tribulation. That's why I don't defend him, I advocate for the message he delivers, and correct those who misrepresent what it says.

As for your belief that my efforts are "cultish," if you discovered a good idea, in fact a great idea whose time will come, wouldn't you want to spread the word about it?

I know you don't buy any of that, because you're a skeptic and no doubt an Atheist. And I don't blame you for that. I too hate all the "religious" bigotry and hypocrisy that is causing so much conflict, division, death and destruction in the world. But one day, I believe, after a reformation of religion, Atheists will understand that science and religion are not at odds, and Theocrats will realize their error.
