    The Compassion of Christ
    Luke 12
    "The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows."

    "Children raised without dictatorship type rules and threats of eternal punishment just seem to turn out nicer."

    Compassion needs religion like a fish needs a bicycle.

  6. What I meant is when a religion operates without focusing their collective efforts chiefly in their compassion business, either to their own members internally or to their related communities externally, the religion would possibly become irrelevant and diminishing, sooner or later!

    Salvation Army and Quakers, imo, are good examples of true religion, running their compassion business progressively.

  7. Of course.It`s your baggage that you`ve gathered over the billion lives.You`ve been here done that trillions times before,yet there`s something left of interest for you.And it`s all been driven by your interests only.You won`t do/haven`t done anything without interest.You are a package of senses and interests,hence,everything is predestined for you by the interests you have got and the sesnses you`ve gathered.

    The salvation part comes into the picture when you are no longer interested in anything.

    even in this simply discussion you misrepresent the argument.
    you are such a troll.

    you were the one who incorrectly bullshitted about science.
    I will show the quotes next... so you don't try some more out of context crap.
