....you are the anti-christ, we are all the anti-christ.

when we turn away from the desire to aid our fellow man, when we allow our fear and greed to rule our lives, we are the downfall of humanity. even as we search for some one person to scapegoat as the anti-christ we become that for which we search.

there is a great deal of foolishness within the world's sacred texts, but there are also many profound and insightful lessons. if we strip away the allegory, the prejudice and the elitist mentality surrounding the religions built on these texts we can find the teachings needed to further the evolution of the human spirit. getting trapped in the metaphors and analogies does nothing but confuse the issue.
