#8 If your religious truth does not markedly enhance your life, including your interactions with its members or their children; that religion is NOT true for you.

Sorry, Sunshine.
I don't give a crap about what your deity of choice says, if the interactions of those in your faith cause you to desire an expedited departure to the afterlife of your that religion is NOT and CAN NOT hold truth. No matter the truthfulness of its doctrine.

If a religion's value can be measured, it is in the interaction of its congregation with itself, and tangentially with others. If that interaction results in a negative balance in your life you do not need, nor should you desire, to continue to interact with those of said religion just so you can be rewarded in an afterlife; you should demand a different congregation. It is okay to not feel welcome, it is a great lie the deceiver tells in every religion I have studied, it is NOT okay to be made to feel unwelcome by those who should be there to support and uphold a child of their God.

The difference between Saint and Satan is where the "I" is placed.

To a saint, I am supported and surrounded, right in the middle where I am cared for, valued, loved. Where I can benefit, and benefit from, the rest of the group. Without the I, the very being and entirety I am, Saints are not Saints. They are not whole.  

Satan cast out the I, the value and choices that I am, to make himself look better for the love of himself.

From experience, many who claim to be Saints are Satan in Sabbath Clothing.

If your religion causes you to harm others, as part of worship or as a way to get into heaven. That faith can not be true for you.
I don't know any child born to cause violence and death.
It is a taught behavior.
While it is true some of our wirings is different, it is still our actions and not our ability that defines who we are. Sociopaths and Psychopaths are around us all day every day. They are often called type A personalities. The ones that cause death are not the normal. Just as there is an explorer gene there is a gene that causes the brain to be wired to be a psychopath. It was discovered by a Ph.D who was a Psychopath, by those markers. 

If the members of a faith allow their children to bully you or your children; that religion is not true for you. If they blame the interaction on you, and your adherence to the truths they claim to uphold, they are not and can not be Saints; they diminish you to better the appearance of their child and themselves.

11 It is probably your parents' fault, but it is your responsibility to fix it.

Look I love parents. Without mine I wouldn't be here. . . yes, yes I did 'Just'. * Your core personality is said to be developed prior to the age of 5. It is influenced by those you spend the most time with in those 5 years. Which for most of us is our parents.  Consider your habits and personalities traits. Consider your parents and their traits, flaws, habits, and oddities. I am going to guess you have a little of flawed parent one and a little of flawed parent 2, and a handful of 'who the flawed knows' * rolled in.  You don't have to pay it forward if I came at the end of belt; the dragons temper or the hoard. There are different ways to be, to parent, to rage, or even store your things. Some may be more health, some may be less... but the point is you don't HAVE to be the product of your flaws.  A story to illustrate this a little better. We have all heard the story about the wife who cuts the end off a ham? This is one version of the story I've hea...

26 Fail Passionately.

 TRUE FREEDOM IS FOUND IN FAILURE. 3/2009 It seems that communism, socialism, and even democracy all have one thing in common. Then are striving to make all men equal, equal in value, equal in rights, equal in pay, equal in say... with the use of government to help ensure you can't fail, it is security. As H.L. Mencken said in his book  Minority Report  "Most people want security in this world, not liberty." Security? What is security? Security is an illusion that you are safe. People spend fortunes on security. 5-star safety ratings, Security Systems, Firearms, Life Insurance. . . 5-star cars still kill people; Security systems can be and will be defeated; Insurance companies deny claims, and firearms are only as good as the person using them... even if they are the #1 crime prevention asset you will ever own. (Ask a Criminal, not a liberal.) It seems to me that by removing the ability of someone to fail, by rules or protection or Political Correctness or Affirmative Act...

#28 "Be Brave even if you're not, pretend to be; nobody can tell the difference!"

Unremembered FB poster:  What do you do when that mask does come off, and you don't know who the person in the mirror that is staring back at you!? Response: You realize that you've grown, and changed, and if it isn't for the better you go back to the drawing board set new goals and fake it till you make it all over again. We just need to be willing to let go of what we are, our hurts, our pains, our disappointments; to become what we want to be with those joy, those loves, and those excitements. Just remember there was a time that the person you recognized in the mirror wouldn't have been recognizable to that person either. . . Life is a moving walkway, either you move forward or you are automatically moving backward. The thing to remember is that in order to move forward you have to accept FULL responsibility for what you are, even if it isn't entirely your fault; and in accepting that you accept you are the full solution to your problems as well. You decide what ...
