Spiritual democracy

One of the significant factors of the Aquarian age is the rejection of totalitarianism. In theological doctrine, many are now realising that they can accomplish some D.I.Y. In the area of belief, no longer do we allow a man in fancy dress to intercede between god and us , we can worship any way we choose, for many this worship is accomplishes not in large buildings but as in ancient times, in the open under the trees and stars.But this democracy has been a hard won battle, the inquisition would have cruelly murdered those who did not pay tithes to worship in their churches.The Vatican met in secret over the month of December 2005 before announcing that there was no such place after all as Limbo. The 13th century saw Limbo invented as a place for all the people who lived before Christ and were therefore not baptised, and those babies who died before baptism to go to.But to punish a man for living before Christ and little unbaptised babies for being unbaptised, is a nonsense, this resulted in many cot death parents spending their lives in anguish.So the Catholic church has backtracked and admitted its mistakes, this puts the rule that “the pope cannot err in what he teaches” right into the theological waste basket.

As the inquisition, purges on other faiths from Cathars to witches, and Limbo are abandoned, but no mention of the problem of gay priests, which are documented back to the 16th century, so all the priests who were just moved in secret some place else to then interfere with other children was O K then ?The real reason for baptism was to cleanse the child from the sins of previous lives, for preparation in this life.Similarly, the sheer numbers of Jews abandoning their faith and its Old Testament teachings for the democracy of the New Age is amazing, many who had relatives who suffered in Germany in W.W.II ring in to my radio slot, to say they disapprove of this same treatment dished out now to Palestinians. Palestine must have a right to exist. So wherever we look people of all faiths are demanding the ability to choose their own spiritual pathway, and this choice must be theirs, free of the external, hierarchical constructed religions, and back to the simple peace and tranquillity, Of their own inner realty.[!gad]One of the significant factors of the Aquarian age is the rejection of totalitarianism.

I agree with you , mankind has been beaten down and made to follow rules , not by God but by the people who represent him on Earth. This is like making George Bush the Pope. Mankind has twisted Religion to exploit its own citizens, you can communicate with God without having to be a part of their corruption. All you need to do is ask God into your life and deal privately , it works for me.

Spiritual Democracy. I do not see it yet. The state grants special tax privileges and privacy rights to those religious and spiritual institutions they themselves choose to recognize as "real". If you do not practice your spirituality in a state approved group or institution then you will pay out more financially to practice your faiths and beliefs. There is nothing democratic about that to me. I never get to vote on any of it and as far as I know neither does my congressman.

So you think Billystevo hates America because i slag George Bush, no way , you hate criticism of America because your brainwashed to follow no matter what. I found God not with a Religion but by asking him to come into my life when i was having a bad time. Billystevo loves American people as i do Iraquis and Iranians, i dont like George Bush hes Evil.
