Firstly I am a free thinker and have read some Bible and Buddist
teachings and I respect people's religion beliefs. And I think to
believe some non-existent or not-being-able-to-be-proved-to-be-existent
metaphiscal object is perfectly okay. To believe in a living human
being as omni-present and omniscient and superior to all the rest
of the world like the Falungong stuff is beyond me though.

I did not follow this thread but I think Gerhard are really correct about
the Old Testament. What I read in it is really hate and revenge.
The one high high above must have some big changes from the
Old Testment to the New Testment.

Regards,
Xiaofan
