Hi -
I super love this message from Eugene Ferrell III. He gave me his permission to post it here.
From Eugene:
Is
there an issue with being self- reliant or prideful? Why would anyone
deem humans as being incapable of knowing what their purpose is? (Which
by the way is knowing how to be human.) Unless they want to manipulate,
limit and control their tthinking.
Religion brainwashes people into be-lie ving that they need
instructions on how to be what they already know how to be.Because
according to religion in conjunction to the biblios it is not an issue
of being bound to a book, as oppossed to being bound to the ones who use
and facilitate that book as if it is the only book that's relevant in
terms of determining rather or not you can can live a wholesome &
spiritual life. And furthermore the ones that indoctrinate the niave
into believing that self- reliance and pride is bad "know" that if you
seek outside of what they have bound you to you will cease being
dependent upon them causing you to be spiritually free; and as a result
they'll fear the inevitable_ that those who were once bound to their
doctrine will "know" where they truly got their information from and
how they twisted ,shaped & conformed it into a psychological
instrument of control.
