Do Republicans and pedophile priests share the same vile sexual morality.
I wrote this for the religious forum but it seems to be a question that I should have put to Republicans as they are exhibiting the same vile morality as pedophile priests and the religious who ignore morality to feed their tribal needs.
Do you see any difference in the immoral and unethical position of both groups?
How and why can people ignore their God’s immoral ways?
I find it quite strange that Christian, Muslims and Jews can ignore the immoral ways that their God is shown to have in the Bible, Qur’an and Talmud.
If you have read any of the critical books on God, you will have seen God described with some rather disingenuous terms that, if applied to a man, would see that man executed by any moral government in quick order. The Buddhist saying that if you ever meet God, kill him seems quite fitting. Frankly, I think killing him without making him suffer for a time would be too good for him. If hell were real, that would be a better end for him as mankind would surely need to see that torture to gain real closure for God’s crimes against humanity. This aside.
I can appreciate the value for society of local churches, mosques and temples but cannot fathom why lying priests, preachers and imams try to sell their God as a good God, when he is obviously more satanic than Satan. Perhaps scripture speak at least one truth in that the whole world would be deceived by Satan and his lying preachers and imams. Not that I believe in Satan.
As a Gnostic Christian, my focus has been to try to become a Parfait, a perfected moral man, using the methods Jesus taught. It has been a long climb up Jacob’s ladder and apotheosis put me up one rung and I have tried to climb higher, but seem to have stalled due to my inability to find arguments that are persuasive enough to loosen Satan’s grip on the minds of Christians, Muslims and Jews. Their need of fellowship is stronger than their work on their moral sense and they stay in their religions even though they know that their God is immoral and not worthy of their idol worship. This Gnostic Christian truth is not a flattering epithet for God, which is likely what cause their destruction by Inquisition.
The truth hurts the religious even when given with a loving touch. I am not that good at that but have seen good honest lovers of Christ get verbally abused by theists. They think hate is motivating those who speak against their God even when love is the motivator. Hate is born of love, and the Gnostic hate of God is justified on moral grounds, and the attempted correction of a believers moral sense and their thinking is done out of love. They forget that that is how Jesus was and how that love driven expression of hate with what he saw around him almost got him killed at the hands of the Jews. So the myth says.
The fact that I have had many theists resist entering into moral argument of their God indicates that they know that their God is immoral. I can appreciate that once a person accepts the fellowship that his tribal nature seeks, and he can survive without having better morals, he is loath to jeopardize the comfort zone he has created for himself. The problem is that theists are living in self-deception and for one who seeks or has attained Gnosis, a deeper knowing of himself, self-deception is basically not allowed. That is why I have to bother fighting a fight that is almost un-winnable.
If you have an answer to the question I posed at the onset, please enlighten me as I am quite disappointed to see so many living in self-deception and without Gnosis, and following Gods who are demonstrably more Satan like than God like.
In the terrible days that we will face from environmental degradation that will soon be upon us, a new and moral God will be required and we presently do not have one.
I recognize that our tribal and fellowship needs are quite strong and a part of our basic instincts. Do you have any idea as to how we can break Satan’s hold on Christians, Muslims and Jews and change their fellowship and tribal needs to a need for a God with decent moral values?

@Gnostic Christian
1) I hate that you keep finding excuses to start the very same thread over and over again.
2) To address what should be the thread discussion instead of arguing the difference between YOUR god and the belief of other christians.
Conservatives never take responsibility for anything. No matter what they do they never take responsibility. Christians are exactly the same in that regard.
Take Sen. Franken vs. Roy Moore.
Franken not only admitted what he did but he apologized and asked for a Senate investigation into his actions. That is responsible.
Moore not only doesn't admit to what he did but in his explanation, it is clear that he has no problem with lying and vilifying his victims. Trump also won't admit his crimes and vilifies his victims.
It's called "INTEGRITY" and the conservatives have none.
That lack of integrity is directly cause by their religious beliefs.
If religions do not move to the left, they will cause their own destruction.
Happy days for me.
"2) To address what should be the thread discussion instead of arguing the difference between YOUR god and the belief of other Christians."
I could but this is all about Christianity and their immoral ways and Gnostic Christianity and our more moral ways.

The 2-party system of government typically cannot cooperate regardless of the gravity of any issue at hand. From the real issues to the make-believe (sexual harassment, email improprieties, etc) it doesn't work. It has grown into something it was not intended to do because it was conceived and implemented with virtue in mind, which is not a normally maintainable condition of humanity. History clearly shows that humanity will always devolve into the warring frame of mind imprinted in its primordial make-up.
The creation of the 2-party system was ill-conceived because by nature man divides himself into two opposing factions just for argument's sake. The founding fathers of this nation knew it but because their collective experiences and wisdom were entrenched in the British parliamentary process, their intellect for innovation was not in attendance. John Adams was so vehemently opposed to such a system incapable of surviving the bickering of lesser thinkers that he published his views on it for America's progeny to know where he stood. That's because he knew it was destined to fail while the blood running in the gutters of the rebellion was still fresh instead of rising to the challenge a new and enduring nation required.
The 2-party system cannot exist with a collective intellect above stupidity because it's only that level of human vermin that will think it has worth. The laughable part is its divisive constituency, dead-locked in its self-important partisan dereliction of duty, thinks the vote works for the people when it only works for the system itself. Why? Because the candidates are of the same political partisan memes indoctrinated in an undying warring stupidity where logic, a sense of purpose and national community are non-existent. It votes for itself, not the nation it has deserted.
When America outgrew its bedroom community status and reached the level of an industrialized world power, its politics did not grow with it. Instead of a government staffed with qualified, proven corporate boardroom executives schooled in business, which is truly what running a nation is, we have vermin squandering a nation while they fake it trying to make it. America's most educated voters are given candidate choices I wouldn't accept for an open janitorial position in my company.
Hell, most couldn't intelligently discuss the issues with the members of this forum.

Black and white thinking. Ironically, the poster is as guilty as the people it purports to oppose.
