The mods let all kinds of things go on here. Threats, blatant racism, sexism, gay bashing etc.

A lot of these very prejudiced people are religious and many happen to be Liberal supporters.

I am by no means saying that all Labor supporters aren't religious, but I am probing the stability and source of prejudice as it relates to religion and political stance.

In my experience Christians don't think about Heaven at all, although many do seem to have a pretty fixed idea of what hell is meant to be like.

Christians are united by the Nicean Creed, a document that came out of the first Council of Nicea in 325 ACE, a few hundred years after Jesus died. What amazes me is how all the heterogenous churches do believe pretty much the same thing.

Which reminds me (although this is going off topic a bit) that there is an excellent book by Swami Prabhavananda, called "The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta". I bought a copy about seven or eight years ago in the Adyar Bookshop in Sydney.

You can also access it online at http://www.filestube.com/s/sermon+on+the+mount+according+to+vedanta although I haven't downloaded it, as I already have a copy.

Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.

Thanks for this. I've read some great yoga teachings on the Bible. Paramahamsa Yogananda is another fantastic read.

I like the Jesus quote, "If thine eye be single, thy whole body will be filled with light." I.e, if you meditate on the "third eye" chakra, you see divine light. Your "energy" body will be illuminated.

Read with this in mind, it's difficult to understand that Jesus meant it any other way. But the point of Jesus's teachings - and much of the Bible - is that they contain layers of meaning.

This is where fundamentalists make their fundamental mistake: the Bible is only as literal as you're prepared to make it.

The religious everywhere make the same mistake, from Muslims to atheists.
