I, for one, do not consider the laws of the universe or the ways of God to be dictated by words attributed to him in a book.

I take it under advisement.

Anime=shill?

Eh, it's a good day to work and only be able to pay half an ounce of attention.

Shills calling shills shills and arguing over whose portrayal of god is correct….

Christianity as it was constructed by the Pharisee is the beast of revelations. Protestants and the eastern orthodox tried to bail - but even then, the poisoning of the scripture had already taken place.

The focus of christianity is on being eliminated at the end of life. You become "one with God" and cease to have any relevance. Your life is gone. Your compassion for others smeared into "love for god" and the whole process is a very optimistically worded description of being devoured by a demon.

No thanks. And, in fact, I think I'll kill that thing and save the people I care about from it. What's the harm? If it really is a god, then how can I pose a threat to it?

But it's already dead… So… There's that. You kill a tree at its roots. I am a gardener for the tree of life. It was a simple matter of waking up and doing my job to remove the poison. Now the world changes and the icons that once held power no longer do.

Well, and I used a bit of blood magic. Contrary to popular depiction - it isn't about bloodletting. The concept of "I" must be expanded and all those who bear the blood of "I" begin to echo the cry and adopt a tempo.

Speaking of anime - you should watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

One could argue I am shilling for Taoism, but that's less a religion as it is a philosophy underwriting the nature of all things.

It doesn't have scripture in the same sense that most religions do - nor does it necessarily have a founder or central figure as most religions do… While it uses the Chinese pantheon/Zodiac, it does not exalt the deities necessarily - the Tao underwrites all, even the gods and goddesses. The Tao is a sort of God - but a God-beyond-identity. The Tao is divine, but it is not knowable except for a brief flash of insight. It is presumed benevolent because life and good things developed as a part of destiny - but its laws are not written by it - simply evidenced by cause and effect.

One could argue it was a sort of science before science and it did not bother to distinguish between the spiritual/philosophical and the material.

You should look into the rule of Constantine in Rome.

I assure you that the Pharisees did create Christianity after using the Romans to obliterate the original movement. That is specifically WHY revelation was snuck in at the end under heavy symbolism.
