> how do you know if you're worshipping the right god? i don't think one can know what is on the other side of the boundaries of universe and the limitations of time and material existence. if you are killing in the name of god, you are saying god is so weak that god needs you to do what he can not. so, violence against other creations is likely a sign you are not with the right alignment. same goes for sacrificing living things and making rules out of thin air. you make a choice and continue to believe that you are is the best you can do. jesus specifically asked you to believe him, and the words he spoke are there for you to read or listen to. he told you exactly what to pray and where, and he told you how to treat others and what the nature of reality and the relationship between god and human had changed with the latest intervention. he also said that no one had ever seen god, implying that his role was to challenge those who claim their religion was true by fulfilling all of their prophets day dreams and making them true, though they probably were not until he validated them. the church and christian stuff you see is but one version of what it was and what it will be and if they are for jesus, then they are not against him as he said so long ago. it is really quite something that being asked to be a good person is so difficult, and it is, which is why i think jesus came to show how to overcome the world.
