You lead others to believe the lie that myth is truth. I lead others to believe the truth that myth is myth. I lead us to choose to believe the one myth of all possible that enables us to have the highest esteem of self and world that we can possibly imagine. I lead us to build a model of self and world unified by the love and freedom of an infinity, divinity, eternally one and to believe in divine eternal parts of self and world that I call soul and spirit. I lead us to believe these myths because I believe these will produce in our minds the most powerful emotional response of joy, faith and love imaginable and this will put us in the best position to be able to apply truth and knowledge based on scientifically reproducible discovery to the problem of producing the most powerful physiological responses of good health possible for ourselves and for the global culture. You offer the way to Heaven. I offer the way to happiness and good health.

Happiness and health will fade away, as well as this world we live in. Only what we do for Christ will last an eternity. You are a very worldly person. We are not of this world. We see things from a heavenly perspective. With God's eyes. We strive for RIGHTEOUSNESS. We strive for what the Lord has told us to strive for. Everything else will follow. Happines, yes, but pure joy. Joy only comes from God, the Creator. It is joy unspeakable, and a peace that passes all understanding. You have made yourself a god. You are a self-seeking, self-loving , self-satisfying person. Right now you only answer to yourself, but there will be a day when you have to stand in front of God, and answer to Him. You do not know God, nor do you want to know God, but, I will assure you that you will meet Him someday, and you will be on your knees with EVERYBODY ELSE, whether you want to or not. Seek first the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, and RIGHTEOUSNESS. DENY YOURSELF, AND FOLLOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. I pray that you find Him, and find the peace that we have within us for knowing Him. God Bless

First; What is it you think we lied about?
Second; What you think is myth we think of as faith.
Third; you wrote "I Lead" four times in this question. We (speaking from a Christian point of view) believe that Jesus Christ leads us to God.
Fourth; It seems that you think you can lead people to your way of thinking because of a physiological response to your opinion. You can lead the ignorant people who do not want to know any thing else, like you.
Fifth; You offer happiness and good health, here on this earth in this time. Yeah good luck with that. If I had a choice between relying on our medical care that I can afford or prayer to heal me, I'll take prayer. Heaven offers internal life.
Better to believe in God and find out He isn't then Not to believe and find out that He is.

Kevin,
Do you claim to have the only truth? You continue to state "I believe" when this is merely your opinion and not factual. However, it sounds like you are basing reality "solely" on your experiences. Sure, I believe that you believe what you believe is true to you; however, it may not be true or the best expression of logic and reality, or I'll digress that it is not the sum of all realtiy. As a Christian living by faith, I will continue to persue happiness, good health, and relationship with an almighty God who is there, and a God I will never fully understand. I will continue to look at the evidence of God through creation, I'll depend upon the written Word handed down to us, and I will also enjoy the experiential for how I perceive it all. Rather than being narrow minded, I will humble myself with what I do know, and understand that I will never know all things. I will also forgive myself for any hatred I may have, and I ask that you do the same. With whatever ailment or situation in life we have, we can press forward with the energy from our anger and frustration, or we can let it go. Don't let any situation get the best of you. Enjoy life through faith. Continue to take care of yourself and love others. Without love we are a sounding gong and no one will care anyway. Love needs to be the basis of all our interactions. Otherwise, why bother?
Peace

Why do you feel as though you actually have the authority to go and "lead" people? If you were smart enough to realize that people leading others may lead them astray, what makes you so sure about yourself? Hmm? I'm Muslim and I'm quite content with the life I'm living. I'm not asking anyone else to convert and I'm not asking anyone who believed in the same God as I do to do certain things to reach certian ecpectations. Life is a test. That's what we're here for. There's no sense in telling others what to do because we have problems of our own that we need to sort. And most certainly you do not have the right to call others liars because if they truly believe in what they are preaching in, how are they lying?!?

Not impressed. Have a double doctorate. Still think your ignorant. Nice web site though. Ignorance is popular. The knowledge of Christ surpasses all. Besides the antichrist job is taken, try again.

for your long and pointless question, i give you and equally long and pointless answer.
Stupidity is the quality or condition of lacking intelligence, as opposed to being merely ignorant or uneducated. This quality can be attributed to both an individual or a person's actions, words or beliefs. The term can thus also refer to poor use of judgement or insensitivity to nuances in a person who is otherwise intelligent. Despite attempts at measuring intelligence, such as IQ tests, it is difficult to objectively determine intelligence with any reliability.[citation needed] The adjective is also used as a general pejorative (e.g. I didn't borrow your stupid cap - go look for it yourself). Likewise, the terms "idiotic" and "ignorant" are often used synonymously.
In psychology, this is known as deindividuation in crowds, and can lead to behaviours usually not displayed outside the specific social situation. The behaviours occur because individuals will conform to perceived social norms in order to 'fit in' or project an impression of self as "normal".
Recently a great deal of attention has been paid to another class of stupidity: stupid actions by those who consider themselves educated and worldly.[citation needed] This is a fairly new topic for researchers and there are still few academic works on the subject.[citation needed]
The Encyclopedia of Stupidity by Matthijs van Boxsel is based on the author's contention that "stupidity is in fact the foundation of our civilization" and his idea that no one is intelligent enough to realise how stupid they are. This is not as stupid as it sounds if one includes in the definition of stupidity "unwitting self-destruction, the ability to act against one's best wishes".

Count the times you used the word I. You are so revolved around yourself, that there is nothing anyone can do to help convince you about the truth, the light and the way of Believing in God. I bet your favorite words are: Me, Mine, my and I.

Sorry, I fell asleep twice reading your diatribe. Think much of yourself? All you are is a con artist, and not a good one. Nice bunch of new age garbage, but your promises are empty and unfulfilling. There is only one truth, any effort to divert people from that truth is simply a con. You my friend are a joke, and a dangerous one, because someone will believe your tripe, how sad that is. I stake my life on my "myth", I doubt you stake yours on anything.

Possibly you think we are simply because you lack the necessary IQ points (say 'greater than your collar measurement!) or the personal integrity to deal with the answers.

Congratulations -- you've united everyone here. Against you. If you had tried to make sense, maybe we could have finished your manifesto. Only William Faulkner is allowed to write sentences that long, and at least his made sense.
Have a great day anyway!
