Subject: RE: The Black Cloud of Islam by Roy Harper
Any faith that is personal only is a beautiful thing. It makes us look at the world and at others as God's masterpiece of creation. Do harm to others you do harm to yourself and God. Religious organization as is, becomes political and then subject to the corruption of leaders and men who hold power. The weak follow leaders, the strong follow God. That is true in all religions. If it is not in the heart of the person to know what is right by God's law instead of listening to some leaders try to tell you or interpret for you, then you by definition, have no faith and hence will do things against the will of God .. all religions. And that includes those with no religious beliefs also. The reverence of life (all forms)is within everyone by birth ... from God .. people know right from wrong but some choose to follow leaders instead. That is the problem
