I think religious dogma has obscured the real message of Jesus Christ, who was the embodiment of perfect love. There are countless people who's lives have been transformed in every way because of His life and His teachings. Many of those people don't even belong to any specific religion. To represent those people who've experienced profound, lasting change through a real relationship with Jesus Christ as ignorant or delusional is the opposite of being open-minded. I'm not offended by the article-- everyone is entitled to their opinion. But, treading over a subset of people who truly want to leave this world a better, kinder place than how they found it doesn't seem uplifting or encouraging at all. And the picture basically connecting Jesus Christ to NASA with all of its lies and manipulation is most definitely offensive. Forgive me if I'm misinterpreted the article, but that's what I'm seeing.

This was a good piece. I myself am a devotee of the sacred feminine, that in a nutshell means I worship earth and her gifts. It’s the oldest religion on earth and need not include any dogma except the true love of your own sacred body.

I think your best point is that any spiritual belief that causes you to stand still instead of actively create a better world is actually a top down directive to pacify you.
