@g_c6668 I run into my fair share of UK preachers (several stripes) and yes, one minor guy on a train. Sometimes it goes smoothly - more and more, not. Especially when they are yelling in the street.

@hellno6617 Well, yes, barely. It would be interesting to consider where Matthew 24:34 falls, within the scale. Tragic how Matthew 10:37 has been used, though - including by those trying to shun gay adolescents.

@JesusChrist-is-not-MrNice St. Teresa d'Avila's 'eyes of the soul' and this 'third eye' (aka pineal) may not be so different, however.

Well, it's not like all of them are useful, for that matter, as texts, @Eduard Valašík . Deuteronomy 21, Exodus 21 and Leviticus 25 are frankly much more use as firelighters or lining for animal cages, at this time, than sound ethical lessons. Or 2 Samuel 24, say. At least they could keep people warm though, if used for kindling.

@hellno6617 Well, it can be yes, especially if the practicing has altered significantly in the last 1940 years. Which I feel, it has. How many, of the originals, I wonder, took Luke 14:26 and Matthew 10:37, utterly seriously? Whilst they also did, at time, often expect the 'end' of things, within their lifetime.

If they told the truth about much of it, though, @Pea Games , I'm not sure they'd get ANY RECRUITS at all, past a certain age. Heck, I doubt they want young people reading Deuteronomy 21 and 2 Samuel 24 unaccompanied, or without skipping past particular bits. And that's just one religion, mind. See also Hadiths vs Suras.
