Its very difficult for me to continue reading when I see assumptions being made. My failing - but I am also not made of infinite time. If I knocked down every assumption, I would never have time for anything else, because there are hundreds of millions of people who take such a shallow view of scripture, reinforce their mythology with discombobulated cherry picking of verses, nod their heads in agreement with themselves, attack the people who are actually trying to understand what the scriptures mean, and in the end understand literally nothing that was the intention of the scripture. Do not peg me as a gnostic or theosophist or any kind of "ism" - I listen to anyone who is seeking, but don't stick around when I find assumptions.

The real problem which makes religious people so onerous is that their religion is so tied up with their ego. You will not take anything I say seriously, nor will you begin to look for deeper meaning, because in your mind its impossible for me to know anything because I'm not on your team, which is narrowly defined and can always be narrowed further via purity tests, so that the end result of your egoistic religion is that the only expression permissible is agreement and submission. As I've stated in the past - religion and spirituality cannot coexist. This is because religion is ego and spirituality begins with controlling the ego.

When you place God outside of yourself and you ignore all the symbolism, the result is thst you misunderstand everything in the bible and you believe in mythology. I AM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD BELIEVE YOU'RE GOD. But you will never understand because you are committed to your exoteric misunderstanding. I'm wasting my time.

God, send someone else... I'm not the one to teach this guy. I don't want this job.
