		<description><![CDATA[Theological you say?????

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ THE RIVER OF FIRE ///////////////////////////////////
&quot;Their atheism is not a real disbelief. It is rather an aversion toward somebody we know very well but whom we hate with all our heart, exactly as the demons do.&quot; :o

&quot;Do you perceive the devil&#039;s slander of our all loving, all kind, and absolutely good God? That is why in Greek the devil was given the name DIABOLOS, &quot;the slanderer&quot;.

&quot;But what was the instrument of the devil&#039;s slandering of God? What means did he use in order to convince humanity, in order to pervert human thought?&quot;

&quot;He used &quot;theology&quot;. He first introduced a slight alteration in theology which, once it was accepted, he managed to increase more and more to the degree that Christianity became completely unrecognizable. This is what we call &quot;Western theology&quot;.&quot;

**********&quot;Did you ever try to pinpoint what is the principal characteristic of Western theology? Well, its principal characteristic is that it considers God as the real cause of all evil.&quot;************

&quot;What is the cause of this waning of men&#039;s love for God? The answer, certainly, is sin. Sin is the dark cloud which does not permit God&#039;s light to reach our eyes.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[JC,
As I have mentioned in other articles, I believe that despite the obvious patriarchy of the Jewish nation, the Hebrews and Israelites had a far more stable and at time more ethical understanding of the family than the later Christian religion. This, of course, is for obvious reasons due to their radically different traditions (Judaism - a nation, Christianity - an apocalyptic movement).]]></description>
