The most hideous and nonsensical Christian doctrine afloat in our world is that there exists out there, somewhere, a cosmic disciplinarian God who must enforce eternally an ever-changing earthbound code of personal ethics or supposed right behavior.
No one believes this crap in or out of the church, because excuses everywhere abound. This doctrine only exists to give the church spiritual leverage with the "sinners". After two thousand years, is it not time to change gears and find another leverage focus that speaks to each of us, sinner and saint?
Instead of focusing on the aloneness of eternal damnation, let's talk about the aloneness and separation curse that we each shoulder as human beings living in the now of time and space.
The search for spiritual reality is the only fix for our aloneness, this search is it's own reward, today and tomorrow.
