So they don't love you for who you are, THEY LOVE YOU FOR WHO THEY THINK YOU SHOULD BE. That again very CONDITIONAL LOVE. Of course, they wont to say that, they'll be like, WE LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT, it's like the form of an ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP where serten things will be withheld, or you're going to be told you're a sinner, you need to repent which is abusive, you have a very unhealthy abusive dynamic here.

KIM SAY: she realizes something interesting, church leaders learn towards shaping people's behaviors and beliefs, while many will agree that we don't work our way to salvation, once Someone makes that decision they are told it's imperative they follow any number of rules and quid lines. I believe this is a backwards way of thinking.

She is absolutely right. This is the really confusing, think about Christianity and all religions they will say ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND YOUR SAVED, or ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE IN GOD AND THEN YOUR SAVED.

Well, that's not exactly true. That's what they say ONCE YOU JOIN THE CHURCH YOU REALIZE THAT THERE'S ALL THESE RULES and GUIDELINE that YOU HAVE TO FALLOW and YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE. You have to COMPLETELY CHANGE EVERYTHING about YOURSELF, You have to BECOME A FALSE VERSION of YOURSELF, you have to be a WATERED-DOWN VERSION of YOU that CONFORMS to the STRICT STRUCTURE of that RELIGION and CONTROLLING CONFINEMENTS of that system.

So you're told that god's love is free and that salvation is free, but IT'S NOT. As soon as you join the church, you realize that there's all these RULES and REGULATIONS you have to fallow, and you're not truly accepted as who you are because you have to change who you are,

Again you have this very nefarious claim of god loves you and salvation is free, but it's not. It's really twisted and it's a terrible religion. If you really loved god, then you would do these things and if you arnt doing these things, if you arnt following these rules, then you probably don't really love god.

So that's kind of the catch 22, they say gods love is free salvation is free, anyone who loves god and accepts god will go to heaven “BUT” you have to fallow all these rules because if you really loved god that's what you would do so do that OR ELSE you're going to be TORTURED in HELL for ETERNITY.

Again, the worst sort of relationship dynamic one could have, OH YEAH I LOVE YOU AS LONG AS YOU DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY because if you REALLY LOVED ME YOU WOULD DO EVERYTHING THAT I SAY AND IF YOU DON'T You're GOING TO PAY FOR IT.

If we saw that behavior in any kind of human relationship dynamic we would be absolutely appalled, and I know this from experience to because I'm living with that my partner does that to me all the time.

It's the exact same kind of dynamic that is displayed in all religions including Christianity and Catholics religions and the churches.

KIM SAYS for us to understand the divine, doesn't it make sense that they would make themselves known in a way that we can comprehend rather than imposing all sorts of rules and guidelines and hoops that we need to jump through to be accepted or to prove that we love them, exactly well said.

A truly loving god wouldn't put all these rules guidelines and hoops to be accepted or to prove that oh WELL YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO PROVE THAT YOU ACTUALLY LOVE GOD. Does that seem like love because it doesn't to me? It seems to be very ONE-SIDED.

Think about this, what are you really actually getting from this dynamic?
Well, I'M NOT GOING TO TORTURE YOU!!

You have to love me and do everything that
I say, and I'm not going to torture you"
HOW BACKWARDS CAN THAT BE?
This is the DESCRIPTION OF SATAN, think about this in the context of Satan doesn't that seem a mach more likely scenario If we replaced god with Satan, Satan saying you have to do everything that I say and be my slave and worship me or else I will torture you.
