I do too! But where most manipulate your thinking so they can have control over you.
I manipulate other peoples thinking so they can have more control over themselves!

Indeed. I would not be right to make any wrong (Jn 3:17; 5:45; 8:3-11), but rather to make all right; So none perish by grace instead of all perish by playing the blame game: law.

Which is kinda what Ghandi allegorically meant when he said an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Which is to allegory say a little law seems to make the whole body of Christ law law.

Speaking of biblical allegory, which is Gen 1:1-Rev 22:21 according to Gal 4, have you considered what Mt 9:13's allegoric go figure meaneth, and that the not part is not then, not now, not ever?
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

A religion doesn't always have to "manipulate" others into joining their ranks! If I get asked about my religion I'll inform others about it but I don't go out knocking on doors saying, "Believe in my god or burn in hell forever!" In fact, to me it doesn't matter what you believe in so long as you believe in something and are tolerant of others.

lol from the style of that post, you wouldn't have a snowball's chance on a bunsen burner of manipulating MY thinking about anything at all. (Dang I wish they had the Yahoo Smilies on here)

Good way of putting it. I like that.
I personally just like to share my point of view. If it "manipulates" someone, that's cool.
I think it's funny though how some people try to "manipulate" me by putting the fear of god and hell into my head. "You are going to burn," "You are going to hell," etc.
Heehee...such a waste. Especially when I don't believe there is a god or a hell.
NEXT please!!!!!

It seems to be human nature to do this, but most people do just that.
In our situation, we attempt to teach others the truth, for their benefit.
We spend lots of money traveling to talk with people who do not appreciate it. once in a while we find one of Jesus 'sheep' and it makes it all worth while.
