It's a shame that in order to create we must first destroy. And what is it that is being created? The Bible says that God created man in His image, but maybe it is the other way around. Maybe man created the gods in man's image and uses those gods simply as a machine to force others to bow down and obey. So in essence, the "civilized" man really believes that he is the creator, or in other words, that man is God. They are essentially worshipping themselves and their creations.[/quote]
Sky, you have just quoted from the Christian Science book with key to the scriptures.. Which I solely believe.. Man has made God manlike. we say God has made man Godlike.. It changes mans perspective in all things. We strife to do better. our spiritual does come from God or deity. Not a man on a throne with a crown on his head..

Christian Science means understanding Christ and his words. Simple as that Yet all my life people have told me .. they do not believe in Christ that church.. They are all blind or plain dumb..

Mortal minds reads the bible that is the problem. If we are Godlike we should understand it.. Jesus said him who hath an ear let him hear.. what does he mean?

This motto usually is

Christan Science says
Jesus Christ and him Glorified..

I think that might fit more into the 'religion' thread..as spirituality is more focus on a person's spiritual beliefs without the strictures of religion ( to me). We all have to learn to respect the path another person might be called to. Doesn't matter if that person is a Christian or Mormon on Christian Scientist...it's the person's inner spiritual beliefs I treasure
