Hmmm, one night I woke up in the middle of the night and heard my mother call my name... a nickname only she and other family members know... about a year after she died. I don't think... I know... she is alive as she ever was in the next world.
SoCalAngel...Ha...my sister got herself in a snowy ditch about 4 yrs after dad passed.
She was in the country far from the next house with no cell phone!
Dad's voice said quickly in her head, "Gun it, don't let it stop."
She did and got herself out of a tilted, sideways situation.
She told me, "It was dad! I don't even talk like that ...I would never say, Gun it!".
Well, I personally believe that every person is born with the light of Christ in them. It doesn't matter where they're born or how they're raised; that light is there. I suppose it is roughly equivalent to "conscience."
I agree with this, although I don't think everyone is born with light. I think some people are born with darkness. I think those born with light can go to the dark side...and I suppose those born with darkness can come to the light, but I think it's much easier for a light-bearer to go dark than the other way around. I think it takes a lot of rehabilitation for someone born in darkness to come into the light.

Which is why I keep lifting fundies' rocks and shining a light on them. They scuttle away but I keep after them.

Everything in God's world has a purpose. What is the purpose of shining a light on so-called fundies, if what they're doing isn't harming anyone? You disliking what they do does not mean they are harming anyone. Those are two different things. So...what is your purpose? Serious question.

Fundies DO harm others. I've seen it in my family and in others. That you do not, simply identifies you as one of them. I'll keep my light aimed your way from now on.
How do they harm others? 1. By stunting their soul growth with their limited
ideologies influencing youth to think God,
this benevolent pure loving Being is a monstrous, murdering machine
that needs recognition above all else or they will burn in a lake of fire for eternity.
2. Influencing others to think they are unworthy, filthy rags and sinful beings, thus,
living their lives in guilt and fear and shame.

Well, you learn another way. A lot of people only repeat what they've been taught, not realizing they've been taught incorrectly. You can break that pattern for yourself and your children. You do not have to live the life of your parents and grandparents. In fact, the Quran warns against following the path of your fathers if their path is incorrect. I can't cite verses because that's not how I study scripture. Memorizing verses without understanding context is something that was done in my church, and I discarded that way. It didn't work for me. I probably sound less knowledgeable to people who believe citing verses is important. That's okay. I have a better grasp of the messages than a lot of them. Your family can change, and it can start with you...
