Ok RAD, I have a question about the ability of people to live by Christ's word. Except for the Mormons there is no text that details Jesus coming to the new world. What happened to all of the native americans that were not introduced to Christ's word for over 1400 years? Also the same could be asked for all the other areas of the world that didn't hear the word for centuries. Your argument is to live by Jesus sermon on the mount, please explain how this was possible until very recently for the vast majority of the world.
My religion is the understanding of my world. My god is the energy that underlies it all. My worship is my constant endeavor to unravel the mysteries of my religion.
