But as you have seen, holding your convictions as a moral standard for "spiritual people" has not been received well. Honestly, I think it is a veiled perspective on the issue, it doesn't take the whole picture into consideration, and you already know that dogmatic and rigid belief systems do not work well, they end up causing more pain and suffering for humans who are in the "outgroup" (who don't fit into the belief system).
The Law of One isn't even a religion and we don't even have any sort of moral code. Nor am I in any position of authority, so I couldn't hold my own convictions as a moral standard for others even if I wanted to.
