God is within. Choose your mythology, but don't judge the efficacy of my moral compass.

"God is within. Choose your mythology, but don't judge the efficacy of my moral compass."

**LIBERAL ALERT**

No such thing outside of religious faith :-)

That will depend on how you express it via your behavior. Dependent upon that, we reserve the right to comment accordingly.

God does choose to dwell in each person - that is the kernel of truth in your post. But you seem to fall into the trap of concluding that this means that whatever you think to be true about God must therefore be true.

Wrongo.

1. How do you know for certain that what I believe is mythology?
2. Your command to me not to judge the efficacy of your moral compass is itself a moral judgment (presumably of my unfitness to judge your moral compass) and thus self-contradictory. Your command not to judge is itself a self-refuting command not to judge.

Cordially,

It is not a moral compass diamond is talking about. It is whether you will go to heaven or hell when you die.

Christ's sacrifice allows those who accept Him to be forgiven and go to heaven. We can't do it ourselves.

I don't mean to be argumentaive either, but God is not "within." That is as old as the Garden of Eden. We are not God. When we try to be, evil results.
