Unbending, Arrogant, and Prejudiced..... I am glad you feel the authority needed to make such statements on behalf of the church. Although you're right in saying these words, I marvel at your lack of true reasoning behind the deeds that forge your soul. Saying that you are NOT for complete freedom only illustrates very clearly your shackled spirit. You may claim you find release, and purpose in the slaying of those who indeed understand their very nature to be free. I assure you, you will not find release, nor purpose in these 'Holy Deeds'. Instead, you find that your soul is confined beyond your comprehesion. Your soul is surrounded by those who seek freedom, and feel their nature beckon them to run wild in the fields of blood, and participate in the hunt.
You may call these ideals primitive, but who is more lost? The man who lives off the land, basking in his thorough freedom, living life as it was *designed*, or the man who hides behind the word of man, seeking endlessly for the answer that has, and always will lay in front of you. Dedicating his life to the persuit of punishment, and the quest for dominance through his self-proclaimed vision of true peace. Nature is violent, and unless we embrace the fact of change, evolution begins it's reversal. By proclaiming your way to be the right way, you only shut off any open minds who possess the intelligence to see any wisdom in your words. For any man to declare his way the right way is an abhorrance of nature, for man truly has no part in affecting the cycle of life. The right way is all around you, and for you to claim it, re-define it, and enforce it upon others is simply tyrannical.
I wish I could say your dedication to total control of those who remind you daily that you are confined by hate, and greed was a noble one. However, I cannot find a single positive aspect of your view. What you want is something that I would rather die than face. What you want is not in your soul, but rather in your mortal workings. How you could label anyone weak for following the voice contained in the soul, rather than the endless whisperings of power, money, and fame is quite humerous. Laughable at best.
I take great enjoyment in these debates, for I *know* the soul, and it's workings. I understand that what I know and have seen will never be available to the untempered soul such as yours. Debating this huge concept of spirituality to someone who thinks of a bloodied mace when they hear the word is always enjoyable. Humour is good for the soul, for it reminds us of freedom. I doubt you could remember the last time you laughed, and embraced your fellow man for who they are, rather than what they do differently than you.
You claim to be honest, and refrain from lying, but you are lying to the most important person in your precious universe.....
Yourself.
