The price of attonement???

[Mystic]

Here is the thing Rhythm. Religious people have "off" and "on" switches when they judge other people. At times, they judge with perception that is more non-religious, and see good in people and they forget the supposed nastiness of their souls according to the their holy book. For example, I would see a Teacher in high school, that was kind and good. I would like him and see good in him. Then when I read Quran, I get an over all judgement that he is a bad person having not accepted Islam (despite it being all too clear as the true religion to the pure hearted of course!). This was totally unnoticed in my life, until, I disbelieved in Islam and reflected over my perception. Disbelievers of the people of the book along with polytheists were the most "evil" of humanity, per Quran. But most of the time, I saw good in people.

I would say I was very religious, so would have a lot of moments of where I turn the "on" switch. When I would be sick, I would have that "on" switch almost perpetually.

What I observe now, is most Muslims and Christians have the "off" switch 99% of the time. Of course the ones that come debate on the internet, are turning it "on", while debating with the nasty hard hearted heathens! But don't let that fool you, I'm sure most of the time in real life, they have the "off" switch on.
