How about including some kind of internal/robo auto-policing of their own kind? - Brad Guth -

We already have rabbinical courts to deal with internal differences: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beth_din> Incidentally, there isn't just one flavor of Judaism: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_ethnic_divisions> so there are plenty of internal differences to argue over. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl(a)cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

I'm beginning to realize what's been making it seem to the Mother and me like God is two-faced. "The confusion has been understandable... because there actually have been TWO Gods. And they have long been at odds with each other. "Deeper than the level of form and duality, of course... has always been a single Spirit who is Love. But the One Spirit, the Spirit of Love long ago denied himself. This caused a 'shadow' to emerge, a part of himself of whom he became unconscious. "The shadow of Love is Power. Love first gave much of his Power to Lucifer. And then over time he denied the rest of his Power, handing it to Ahriman. "Love, real Love feels much better than Power... yet most humans have chosen to worship the god of Power, not the God of Love. Praised from the pulpits and beseeched in the deepest prayers for relief from pain and oppression, the god of Power has been very popular. "Power has constantly affirmed that he and only he is God. And he has been very successful at this... many beings have never even known that the God of Love exists. "And for a while there... he almost didn't." -- http://godchannel.com/lovepower.html Cheers!
