   The message of the Lord to the desciples before he was finally taken up to Heaven was "go he into the world and preach the GoodNews". If you are a desciple and a follwer of Christ Jesus, can you kindly use this medium to tell the whole world the GoodNews?: The Gospel of Christ Jesus. Preach it here and Now.

      It is so easy to preach the good news.,.. but my guess is there are more preachers than doers of the Word.. preach first in your Jerusalem, Judah Samaria, before you reach the ends of the Earth... Preach to your Family , reach out to your neighborhood, your town, city and country...the WWW could be your last stop. Try It Be Blessed!

            No one is saving anyone's "life" by telling them what's going to happen to them after they're dead. That makes no sense.

            Animus... the correct word is animus. The ego, the id, the animus. It's all one thing, the only distinction is in the mind. None are separate from another, different people, same emotional content. What you would call God, is a representation of personal attitude(position).

               Sorry, but I place little to no value on Carl Jung philosophies and coined definitions, especially when I can see for myself the evidence that there's a Creator and that mankind is composed of two separate genders.

                  The problem with religion is, that it leads to a form of insanity. Meher Baba called it "God crazy". While a good amount of religious people are harmless, it's the ruling few that are truly dangerous. To realize that God was never separate, free's one from the power of religious indoctrination. If one is told where to look, the singular path becomes obscure.

                     Eh, I know a LOT of Christian people who aren't insane! LOL.  I dunno about other religions; those may lead to insanity for all I know.
                     Why would you even make a blanket statement like that?
                     And even if it's the "ruling few" who are subject to "insanity", then....it seems to me it's more of an ego trip than insanity.  One implies there's responsibility, the other implies no responsibility.  Sounds like an "excuse trip" to me.
                     How would we ever realize that God is never separate, when in fact that's not so?
                     For instance, what traits of God does a human show?   Sometimes Love, yes.  Sometimes mercy.  Sometimes other traits.  But God is so much more than humans can be.  We aren't all-powerful.  We didn't form the earth or hang the moon and sun in the sky.  We didn't create animals out of nothing.  We don't control the seas and the other waters of the world to any degree like God can do.  We didn't make a man from the dust of the earth. 
                     How do you figure we're inseparable from God?  Christians have God living in their hearts, yes.  But that's entirely separate from BEING God.

                        To say you follow Jesus, yet you don't follow the teachings. The first thing that he taught was that the body is the temple, not a building. The human body contains the mind and is very aware of it's self, humans are not. We are aware that we are here and we'd like to think that God is out there, without an awareness of something we can't quite grasp, there would be no God. We think of every way we can to please ourselve's and yet we think it's not what it is, an interperetation of upbringing and a social institution.

                           Actually, the first thing He taught was that He created the heaven and earth.
                           
                           If we were God, there'd be no need for these "temples" (human bodies). And temples are places of worship, not places from which to worship ourselves!
                           
                           Jesus was the only person in whom "dwelt the fullness of the Godhead bodily".
                           And even then, the Father was still in heaven.  Because Jesus was inseparable from the Creator.  We are not.
                           Is this so hard to understand?

            Maybe because they also feel compelled to "preach", except they seem to want to convert us into the nothingness that they supposedly believe in.
            But indeed I don't think atheism is a religion.  It's anti-religion. It's a negative thing that they'd want to claim the word "religion" as theirs.

   Even Paul, a convert from Judaism, said I strive daily. It isn't about how perfect you are; before you can tell someone else the good news. The good news it that Jesus makes a change IN US daily. The good news is Jesus is offering us eternal life and peace after physical death. You do not have to die and then die. Those who believe they just die after death do not fully understand what happens. Take a chance - ask, seek and persist in searching for God through Jesus sacrifice. It could mean your life.
