love your neighbour

[leibowde84]

because people shun it? I think people have the problem not religion. people try to degrade religion all the time.

No. I'm saying that something cannot be undeniable when it can be reasonably and logically denied as being true.

religion is the oneway street to happiness. you can deny religion but if you deny religion, you deny happiness.

You're not making any sense. If it isn't your belief, why would you claim: 'we shun religion, that is why we suffer...'?

religion is an option. we either accept it or deny it. we don't make up religion, religion is an objective truth given to us by god.

Others can handle the love side of his self improvement.

Also gonna quote a Jedi proverb here: "Only the reconciled enemy ís truly vanquished." Now excuse me while I attempt to compose myself...

what? not objective truth from god?

what? not objective truth from god?

You apparently can't seem to make up your mind on the matter. One minute you're stating: "''love your neighbour'' isn't my particular belief. it is ordered by religion." And in the next claiming that: "religion is an objective truth given to us by god."

Which is it? Is it an objective truth given by god or is it not your particular belief? If it's not your particular belief, why the heck would you say that it's an objective truth given by god?

So, it's not an undeniable truth?

if you want misery, then you deny religion.

To me, that is the major brunt of Jesus' teachings.

It is. But the tricky part comes later when Jesus tell us through parable who are neighbor is.

True, and it's unfortunate that all too many ignore the fact that his use of "neighbor" obviously includes those who we might not even like or may even consider to be an enemy-- part of the "narrow gate" that's not that easy to get through.

It is also more than a little shameful how some of our early rabbis chose to interpret ger as proselyte.
