I understand much of what you say, I think, or at least interpret so.

Your message is interpreted in contexts, though, that don't translate very well to the cultural context of Raddle. Especially, I think, in linking to an image of the cover of Genesis, since 1) it contains elements that at least seem authoritarian-- there are different ways to interpret some of them, but overwhelmingly it has been interpreted in an authoritarian way; and 2) most people here don't want to be ruled by a book. Also, Abrahamic terminology like "sin" and capital-H "He" will put people off, not least because of trying to gender existence. It may also help to reduce the capital letters.

I read a bit of Genesis, and didn't find it of very much practical value. It is mostly old stories that don't have much to do with my life. As you said, though, "we are the message". That is, I think, where the true sacred text, so to say, is found: written throughout existence. For more see my recent post.
