oWe believe in the fullest realization of the best and noblest that we are capable of as human beings.

Answer 1

Of course they aren't evil - they sound very sensible to me.

But then, I am a peculiar breed of Christian - I doubt many churches would take me.

Relgion falls down when you claim that your way is the only "right" way. There are many paths to being a good person.

I believe (contraversially) that anyone who loves their neighbour, helps the needy, tries to be a "good Samaritan", is tolerant and respectful of others, and tries to make sure that their actions are out of love is a Christian in all but name. That's what Jesus said we should do - if you do it, you are following Jesus, whether or not you think he was the son of God.

The rest is window dressing.

Answer 2

NO ITS NOT EVIL ITS ACTUALLY PRETTY INTERESTING, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT A QUESTION, YOU ARE SELLING A BELIEF WHICH IS WHAT RELIGIOUS PEOPLE DO, HENCE YOUR ANTAGONISM AND THE STRUCTURED NATURE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION LANDS YOU WITH THE SAME DILEMMAS AS A RELIGIOUS CULT... BE AWARE THAT TO PROMOTE TRUE LOVE FOR SCIENTIFIC INTEREST ONE MUST APPROACH WITH LOGIC AND OPENMINDEDNESS , YOUR INITIAL INFLAMATORY COMMENT SUGGESTS BRAIN WASHING, NOT TRUE BELIEF . YOU MUST VERSE YOURSELF WELL THEN OPEN YOURSELF FOR DISCUSSION, DO I AGREE WITH THE VALID POINTS SUGGESTED BY YOU ? YES WHOLEHEARTEDLY, DO I THINK I SHOULD PROCELITICE FOR IT? NO..IT DEFIETS THE PURPOSE!
