The bible on dogma and religious control

The toxicity of dogma and religious absolutism

So I define absolutism as the strategy of ascribing eternal conditions to evolving or unstable events so that you depend on external basis for your contentment instead of depending on God, the honour God gives His children is for His purposes and not yours, a Christian can be damned for mocking Jesus but Jesus never cared about his status or honour, only that the moral teachings he transmitted were respected or not vilified.

Religious absolutism is when you choose to arbitrate between groups on unequal, biased, or aggressively hateful characterizations so that one is dishonestly given undo favour and the other dishonestly given undo disrespect, but God wants you to focus on charitableness and elevation rather than religious objectification or mental impingement towards another, this might seem obvious to those who have been nourished by God but it’s a foreign concept to those who were malnourished mentally and strategically in their domestic spheres.

Jesus only was ok with people mocking him because they did not know who he was. Besides when they are mocking him he says to the Father, “Have mercy on them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Implying that there is a problem with it but Jesus will endure it and is willing to forgive them

I know you take the bible very seriously, and I'm not the type of guy to knock someone for their beliefs, but do you accept those who don't believe the same as you still have the same rights, or are they lesser people in your eyes?

[GrantArmstrong]

Agree. Only a Sith deals in absolutes!

Lot of big words to never have read the Bible.
