Hi Quantum, Interesting question.
For the record,
I went to Catholic sunday school and church when I was a child. We stopped going when I was about six years old. When I was in my late teens I started reading about Western High Magic. I studied comparative religion for one year in university. In my mid twenties I decided to read the entire bible. I couldn't even finish reading the old testament (which I believe is part or most of the torah) because I found it foul and disgusting. The exact opposite of resonance with me. So I went ahead and started reading the new testament. I found it much better and even some resonance with me here and there as I read it.
My thoughts about your question.
When I found the LOO, it freed me entirely of any religion or religious crap. It made me ultimately realize what a STS joke the whole buisiness is! In my opinion the only thing worth while in the major religions are some of the mystic teachings, which are quite separate from the dogma.
The pain, suffering and all the other horrors bother me deeply!!! I try to remind myself that this is an experiment that is not going as expected and it is an illusion after all. Somehow this does not quite comfort me anyway. Because I still care. If I experience pain in a dream, when I wake up I don't feel fine because it was "just a dream". It bothers me because I felt the pain anyway. I feel the same way about the people and the planet. A lot of times I think there is way more extreme catalyst than needed. But then again look at the state of this planet. Way too much apathy, so STS continues to get away with it.
I would love for Q'uo to describe in detail the method by which STS switches to STO...........
