I am a student of religion. But I will never back down from intellectually and morally criticizing religions and churches that might:
1) Preach violence, close-mindedness, bigotry and hatred
2) Teach bizarre and false doctrines that oppose the original intents and beliefs of its founder
3) Refuse to acknowledge or fight against oppression, lies, or injustice.
4) Teach a doctrine of love and tolerance, while condoning and supporting violence or intolerance behind its followers’ backs. In other words, the Church has become a whore, a hypocrite.
5) Teaches that fanaticism is of any importance.
Ever since my tentative “dipping my toes” into the waters of religion, I have engaged in this Good Fight to the present. With these five affirmations, I can wholeheartedly say I have the backing of the Divine, or Dharma. And if not Dharma, the messengers of Justice.
Nice blog!
Sounds like you ego is running you, for your spirit would not be so concerned over what is a false doctrine. I agree we should never support hate, violence, etc.
Why is it important to you that you should morally criticize other organizations. Be the change that you wish to see, your vibrations will do more to change what you desire to see changed then these affirmations which may lead you to anger, frustration and other negative based emotions which reflect the same things which you say you are against.
