The first thing you need to know is that there are evil people out there.
They are not always obvious and some of them are famous people* but they are evil none the less.
Most of them have rejected the God of judgement and punishment in favor of the devil.
They sell their souls and do evil in the world.
The second thing you need to know is that they are in league with corporate plutocrats and right-wing political forces which deceive and betray everyone.
They exploit and oppress everyone and seek self-aggrandizement and the subjugation of the masses.
The third thing you need to know is that the traditional image of God as a harsh punisher and judge of human beings is false.
This image of God is a projection of our experience of earthly authority figures - fathers and kings - and is a product of fear.
God is our loving Father.
He does not judge us.
He does not punish us.
He loves everyone equally.
And He shows us mercy and forgiveness.
The last thing you need to know is that the purpose of life is love.
We look for love outside of ourselves.
But when we look within and find love in our own hearts we have learned the ultimate lesson.
Love God and love your neighbor.
Then you will be Home.
