In the catholic church it was all about conforming to what was said in the bible and especially the interpretation given by the Pope, who was seen like a God and never to be questioned.
The backbiting was horrendas and the things said were not worthy of people who say they follow Jesus teachings or profess to be christians - they were behaving more like pharisees. This is an observation of what I saw and what was happening.
The bible is not infaluable and many writers and people over the centuries have taken the book apart and showed very clearly with evidence that the bible is a collection of stories. stories in the same way we read fairy tales.
Some of them have some very interesting wisdom to pass on but at the end of day it is just a story and nothing else. Religon in the hands of man, even a Pope, is very dangerous as there is no real evidence to show the original books have not been tampered with and also the men who wrote the books were not Gods and they did not profain to be.
This means their writings will have flaws inaccuracies and mistruths and will be full of their character, lack of judgement, narrow mindedness and every other flaw known to man. The books will slant to their own personal beliefs and politics.
The question of the Catholic church is very strong in book and film, the Da Vinci code that questioned the Catholic church.
There is a lot of truth there mixed with fiction. Check the real story from the records written at the time, the history and the time and beliefs, you will find there is no real record of Peter going to Rome and the church being continued with the permission of Peter. There is no real record and even evidence now with all the technology that proves the bones in Rome are those of Paul. This means the catholic church has no real link to Jesus or his teachings.
Two forms of christianity were around, one by the followers of Jesus and his disciples and one by the Rome and the Catholic church. The catholic did everything to persecute and stop their church from being formed and destroy all their records - but books did survive.
The Catholic church was started by the last Emperor in Rome, a city that had been anti Christian for many years. This church did what they could to get rid of the other followers. Take the history of power and death and killings, murders in the name of God by the Catholic church. the falsehoods they supported and many of the real truths being hidden, which are there in the 4 gospels and in the other books written by the other disciples and even Peter. You will be shocked.
In this day and age with all the corruption of churches with power and money, it is clear that they should not have any more rights than anyone else and remember their history.
the idea of religion is made by man and not God. Many religions may come forth with good intentions but soon have led the way to much control, abuse of power and forcing people to their religion and for those who did not not - death.
spirituality and love are the way and you will find were supported in the early years of many religions.
for this reason - the friends of quan Yin has been formed.
