Interesting take. I expect it means entirely different things to each person. It's pretty much "The Most Horrible Thing you can Think Of" (TM) LOL!
True. I remember hearing a Catholic priest talk about a prophacy... the Third Secret of Fatima (I think). He said, "Think of the morst horrible think you can think of, and it will be worse."
At that point, he lost any credibility with me, but this gets beyond the realm of evidence or even faith and plunges right into naked unsubstanciated fear.
This most grievous of sins comes accross and being more bassed on intention than action... The idea that, if your intentions are right, your actions will fallow suit. I don't believe this to be true, nessessarily. The converse of this is that, if your intentions are wring, your actions will fallow the cource. Seems to me that the Spirt is not about physical action but what is in a person's heart. If some one stiffles the goodness (assumeing God is good, and I have my doubts about YHWH, but that's another story), they are stiffling the source of right actions and turning them onto a path of evil... I don't like thw word "evil" because it's too culturally loaded and nonspacific, but by "evil" I mean manevolance and or an end justifed the means philosophy.
Yeah, it gets way to complicated to make blanket statements like I did above. Ignore me. I'm in a "mood" today (cackle)...
Far be it for me to judge some one for being moody.
I agree - I never could stand the idea of being a slave to a collective. I am not a hive entity...
Neither is any other human being (even the extreamly sheepish). That's why totalitarian systems donnot work.
