After I wrote my last post, I read a news opinion. Michael Moore called for putting the mosque AT ground zero. The writer identified the same problem as I just wrote about, the conflict of bias. His solution was for MODERATES to take over the churches.
What is a moderate, someone who holds no hard beliefs. I do not believe in religious moderates. That may sound strange. I am not talking about the people we call extremists, they rarely even know what their religion teaches. Instead they follow their biases not the words of their founders.
I have said it before, if you do not believe what your "religion" believes, leave it rather than attempt to "modernize" it. If it wrong, it is wrong, if it is the truth, die for it. Not kill for it, die for it.
There was a church in China. The communists came in and said that each person had to renounce their faith or die. They asked who believed, a young girl walked up and said she would not renounce her faith. She was the first to speak. She was willing to die for what she believed in, that is religion, that is true faith. Moderates believe in nothing.
One of my professors was talking to us about politics, he said he could live with believers on either side but had no respect for moderates because they have no beliefs and are guided by the beliefs of society. That is what makes sheep, sheep. They go with the pack and stand for nothing. If you believe in nothing, you will fall for anything.
Moderates cannot lead nor explain anything. They are always in the middle of extremists rather than trying to determine the truth, they seek harmony rather than truth. We should seek truth and to live in harmony.
