I quite like the idea of infiltrating some religion and taking over. I doubt the christian ones would be the best bet, but it’s a nice plan. One of the newer religions may be more corruptible.
It’s a fantasy though, not something that I think could actually be orchestrated.
Karma here is pretty simple: You get a point for every upvote, and lose one for every downvote. You automatically upvote your own comments (unless you deliberately cancel it).
So make 20 posts that don’t get voted down and you’re there.
pre, if we are to be successful, there needs to be some attitude adjustment on our part. We need to gain some humility, and some respect for what religion has accomplished in the past several thousand years.
We wouldn’t be infiltrating, we would be transforming, in the spirit of Martin Luther and Paul the Apostle.
There are many Christian churches that are dying because their theology doesn’t speak to people today, and they know it. Mainline Protestants are the most obvious examples, but the evangelicals now realize they are in trouble too:
Many, many, Christians are desperate for renewal. We have a tremendous opportunity to provide it for them, if we can steer Christian theology back to its original intent, which is reverence for knowledge. It’s quite possible that a sub-group of Gnostics, or knowers, wrote the New Testament. I’ll post more on this later.
So, we aren’t corrupting the Christian religion. I think it is quite likely we’re restoring it back to it’s original intent.
If you don’t think this can be orchestrated, take a look at what just one person, Michael Dowd, has been able to accomplish in just a few years. Christianity is ready to hear a new Gospel, and I hope Judiasm, Islam, and other religions are too.
So I get a karma point for commenting on someone’s comment about my comment? Getting to 20 points may be easier than I thought.
