Losing one's temper = loss of serenity.

When I think of the multitude of churches, and the multitude of "pastors", I think about the even greater number of people who never go beyond being church-goers. Who I mean is the christian for whom most of the teachings of Christianity end as they cross the doors of the building, or leave the premises, or enter into their life and its concerns.

While we (people) are not angels, saints or perfect, and the concerns of the world has strong effects on us, some (and even many) people have mull over Bible issues, topics, teachings, etc. But my experience and observations is that the vast majority of Christian churches is populated by spiritual babies that never grow up beyond being babies. Most of the lessons I have heard in Sunday school (different than discipleship classes) are time-wasters and keep people at that level.

But I was not writing about these observations. I was actually pointing out the difficulty in the presentation of the arguments you guys were advancing, as fascinating as they are, at least to me.

At the same time, I was advancing the theory that Yogananda was the first actor on the current and ongoing drama that has transformed the world from being mostly Christian to being mostly non-Cristian, and even anti-Christian.

If not a conspiracy, maybe there were malignant alignments of planets, or coincidence. Ha! Me? I blame it on the complacency of Churches by not training their people or giving more meat to the masses. The bread is not cast onto the seas, only simple meat. And when I say sea, I don't mean the people in the whole world but the people that attend those very same churches, who are not swine and deserve to be at the table.

My rage, still controlled by a sound mind (thank God), and God's spirit, would go against those in those churches that claim to be doing God's work but instead are eroding it with their actions. It takes more faith to trust God and that He will do His will than getting involved in governance and political issues. In other words they, stewards of God's words, as they proclaim themselves to be, are not keeping well separated what is Cesar's and what is God's. But that watering of attitude comes from the same source that brought Yogananda here in the first place.

Peace.
