All righty then...I just finished watching war of the gods there was an interesting conversation between Adama and Count Iblis
Adama "Then why do you fear them?"
CI "I fear no man, no creature"
Adama "Not even God?"
CI "What do you primitive children know of what you call God?"
Adama "Only that we have been given laws which cannot be broken by any man or creature"
CI "Those laws do not apply to me"
Adama "I wonder"
Ok I have never understood why we are supposed to fear God, it (I use it because I don't think of God in terms of gender) is supposed to be loving so what is there to fear. If it is supposed to be guiding me towards spiritual enlightenment then why fear this? I don't believe punishment is an enlightened way to educate or to help enlighten so why would a being who is supposedly more enlightened than I practice such archaic behavior? why shame or emotionally destroy those you love? How can I respect, admire or love something I fear?
