What are the three defining messages/elements of your religion?

I've always thought about it this way too. People in the community nowadays are just too zealous or jaded and they've forgotten what it's all about.

 

I would too but that was a quote from Genghis Khan.

 

Sorry to be nitpicking here but those are the Four Noble Truths that form the basis of Buddhism as stated by Sakyamuni who became the (a) Buddha.

That said it would be pretty cool if Yoda said that too.

James1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.*



* orphans and widows were most vulnerable in first century Palestine....substitute in whoever is most vulnerable for your age and go to town.

 

Bankers and Oil Execs?

Grace
Love
Salvation

 

The belief, based solely on reason, in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation.
