the ra material basically says we are here to learn love no matter how pain full it is how ugly or smelly it is we need to be grateful for all our experiences just love others and be grateful, we are by design meant to suffer and be confused .

the bible on the other hand seemed to me to cause a split in consciousness as all are sinners even just by thinking a sinful thought one is as guilty as some one whom physically committed it.
so you can deny it all you want but that person or people you despise most is your equal a reflection of your self no matter what bias you have towards them or no matter how much you don't want to be like them no matter how far you run there is no escape as you are running from the idea of an eternal hell fire "pain and suffering" the idea which has been seeded in your mind by the words in the bible the world around you backs it up.

the world around us is full of pain and suffering although we try to sanitize or deny it as much as we can... none of us can escape old age suffering and death we may be able to defer it for a while but none are spared we are all destined for it.

so you have the choice of running from that fact hiding within your self despising yourself
and the world around you trying to find a way out as painlessly as possible or we can accept the fact that we are all screwed and forgive and love our selves and each other.

or you can believe some authority figure whom will protect you and keep you safe keep hell at bay so to speak even if you don't really believe him it beats taking responsibility for your self :d
