Your sacred beliefs are pseudepigrapha lies.
Believe what you want, but as mythology you have to understand the seed of wiseness hidden beyond the words.
If you prefer to stay stuck to the doorway as you wish. Anyway everyone nourish it’s beliefs as they want…
Still most of the New testament has been rewritten by Roman emperor in order to drive this new religion that would have overthrown they into a more “satisfying” message.
Nontheless keep in mind that this new testament has been the best work to merge humanism seen by the 2 great Occidental cultures : Greeks(taken and developed from mesopotamia) and Hebrew which inherited from Egyptians.
Since we have had many spouts from this time, Islam, Protestantism, and even unions born from Indian Buddhism and Tao as the Psychology, New Age and the Spiritism that merged more lately.
Anyway, all of those are flowers that sprout from great spirits born into men and women.
Don’t throw away the baby with the bath waters. The important thing is to practice rituals that bring well being, pragmatical understanding of our place in this world and spirit awakening to Life and it’s treasures.

the seed of wiseness hidden beyond the words.
Like slavery is pretty good, and raped women should be married off to their rapist? Maybe that disease is caused by demons, or that you should deny a woman who seeks your assistance because she’s different - you should instead call her a literal “dog.”
Because humans are broken from birth, should feel guilty for things they didn’t do, and this can only be resolved by a fake public blood sacrifice performance conducted to satisfy the theatrics of the main character’s vanity. And later, look forward to returning and burning the entire planet during your comeback tour.
“I studied every page of this book, and I didn’t find enough love to fill a salt shaker. God is not love in the Bible; God is vengeance, from Alpha to Omega.”— Ruth Hurmence Green
That sort of wisdom?
If you prefer to stay stuck to the doorway as you wish.
Empty, pseudo-profound platitude.

Meaning you’re contradicting yourself. If you believed this, you’d have no business being here. Least of all rambling about “doorways” or whatever. You’re trying to have it both ways, where you get to lecture people, then feign congeniality when you get pushback, taking the role of put-upon martyr. You don’t think that isn’t transparent?
Still most of the New testament has been rewritten by Roman emperor in order to drive this new religion that would have overthrown they into a more “satisfying” message.
So, yes, it is lies. Why then are you arguing about this meme.
No, it was created so that it could be forced down the throats of the populace to control them. Everybody who wasn’t the “right” kind of Xtian, or a Xtian at all, could be, and was, arrested and executed:
Which is to say, it was a “satisfying message” to the people who wanted to dominate and marginalize others, including dissenters. It replaced one form of persecution with a more violent and pervasive form of persecution, crafted by and for the ones who wanted to be doing the persecuting. Which continued for more than a millennium, through multiple Inquisitions.
None of which changes the fact that it’s falsehoods and lies.
And yes, Islam learned at the feet of Xtianity.
Nontheless keep in mind that this new testament has been the best work to merge humanism seen by the 2 great Occidental cultures : Greeks(taken and developed from mesopotamia) and Hebrew which inherited from Egyptians.
It’s plagiarized from multiple other cultures, provides no new, novel insights, drops most of the nuance, such as the 42 Principles of Ma’at, the Egyptian Wisdom Texts, Epic of Gilgamesh, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, while introducing the immorality of eternal torture for finite slights (including thought crime), infinite moral exoneration for submission to its edicts, and inserting the narcissistic, jealous, capricious, vengeful god character as the central point of the story, in both ghost and meat forms.... and you think this monstrous, nonsensical, contradictory tome is the “best work”?
It’s an immoral tale of hate, violence and intolerance. And yes, that includes the New Testament.
Anyway, all of those are flowers that sprout from great spirits
Literal flowery nonsense.
born into men and women.
Due to the evolution of human morality, which can be found in other animals as well - altruism, empathy, protection, concern for wellbeing. Not understanding this doesn’t defend a book used to perpetrate hate and justify tyranny.
Don’t throw away the baby with the bath waters.
I will absolutely throw out the worthless and the pointless. Not to mention the false and dishonest. I care about what’s true.
The key point, which you’re steadfastly refusing to address or even acknowledge, is that the book is filled with forgeries. It’s presented as the wisdom of a god, but they’re lies. This doesn’t seem to bother you in the least.
When the book’s key lesson is to submit yourself to life-long subjugation to an invisible sky-demon, or suffer unimaginable torture for eternity, it matters whether or not this threat is true or a lie.
The important thing is to practice rituals that bring well being,
Unless you are confessing to your own sociopathy, humans already do this. Have been for millennia, all around the world, including where Xtianity had never been heard of.
In any event, this means that we don’t need the bible at all. We can use the stories of Star Trek or Harry Potter.
It’s notable that you didn’t say that the important thing is truth.
pragmatical understanding of our place in this world
Science does this. Without the intellectual dishonesty and the bias. Oh, and the fraud, don’t forget the fraud.
and spirit awakening to Life and it’s treasures.
Empty, pseudo-profound bullshit. Define “spirit”. I dare you.
PS: I insist on the pragmatical… Mystics are so messy… 😏
And yet, you provide nothing but mystical word salad, devoid of pragmatism. Go on, measure the practical success of “spirit”. How do you plan to pragmatically detect and measure “spirit awakening”?
You want pragmatism? Let’s count the number of wars instigated or conducted in the name of the god of this fairytale. How about the number of deaths?
Let’s see who is out there in the world doing good for the sake of good, and who is out there trying to score points to attend the Life afterparty. Let’s see who needs the bible to be good, and who doesn’t. Can’t get much more pragmatic than that.
There is literally nothing that this fraudulent storybook provides that cannot - and is not - achieved without it. You spout about “humanism” and yet you’re explicitly erasing the achievements of secular humanists who tirelessly work to make the world better - without this blood-soaked tome. You’re explicitly denying the morality which evolved in other native cultures in North America, South America, Asia, Australia and many other locations which formed cohesive, moral communities based on wellbeing and harmony, well away from Xtian dogma and biblical falsehoods. By definition. Since, if they had not, they would be extinct. Immoral societies do not survive.
Perhaps worst of all is that you appear to care nothing whatsoever about the greatest victim of all in this: truth. Seemingly, not even a priority. Literally no mention of it. Your entire little rant can be summarized as “oh, it’s a lie, but it’s a nice lie.”
Get your shit together, and stop valuing barbaric bronze-age tales over actual humans and the value we have to each other. And maybe one say start considering what’s true, rather than what fluffs up your sense of self-importance.
Consciousness and kindness for you and all.
Kindness includes being willing to tell someone the truth. Rather than pander to their delusions, simply because it’s “easier” or feels nicer. To validate comforting lies is to regard the other person as too stupid to be able to do any better, incapable of handling truth.
Consciousness is an activity of the brain. If someone doesn’t have it, wishing it to them won’t endow it... because it means they are dead.
