Dear Editor in Chief

I heard that the extremist fundamentalists-terrorists had unleashed another deadly suicide
bombing and perhaps killing its own people with many casualties even including children just
passing by and riding in a school bus in Iraq last April ‘04. And a TV network is fueling the flame
of hating thru bias reporting against the moderate, balanced, liberators. And especially a “spiritual”
leader who is “charismatic” and who could use his tongue, and some legitimate grievances... to be
effective in seducing the curious mind of others example to pick up rifles, rocket launchers and
snipe or ambush the liberator’s armor car and hide or become invisible again if pursued. I think if
an Artificial Intelligence would be asked to comment on these atrocities, it would go down to
words: harboring bitterness vs. caring.
The Artificial Intelligence perhaps would retrieve a data of recorded seminar by a
controversial teacher with different scholars from different balanced groups/religions like example:
The controversial teacher is explaining: I think bitterness, hating are the result of words accepted
by the curious brain that offend or defend the “self” or “ego” that where perhaps molded by the
word “only” example: our “only” true, right, way ideology, religion, conviction; and our “only”
true nationalism (extreme: isolation; self-centered); our “only” true, right way culture and tradition
is being scandalized, prostituted; our “only” heritage, resources are being stolen. And words like:
“puppet” government, “shadow” government could be thrown to the transitional or interim
balanced moderate democratic government by the extremist terrorist to trigger hatred.
Sometimes common sense could easily solve the problem of bitterness but what makes it
difficult is that the common sense ability is being blocked, diverted not to function well because of
other complicated set of rules, laws imposed by its own or another “only” true, right, way group,
religion wanting to boast, to be superior emphasizing more on Whip or Law; or Rituals, or/and
others rather than the Word; or especially the spiritual rock.
The controversial teacher explains first good words about Law: Concerning good words about
Law: Romans 4:15: Quote: The law brings down God’s anger; but where there is no law, there is
no disobeying of the Law. Romans 5:20: law was introduced in order to increase wrongdoing; but
where sin increased God’s grace increased much more. Hebrew 7:18: The old rule, then, is set
aside, because it was weak and useless. For the law of Moses could not make anything perfect.
Hebrew 10:1 The Jewish Law is not a full and faithful model of the real things; it is only a faint
outline of the good things to come. The same sacrifices are offered forever, year after year. Hebrew
8:7: If there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, there would have been no need for a
second one. Romans 5:13: There was sin in the world before the Law was given; but where there is
no law, no account is kept of sin. Galatians 3:19-20: What, then, was the purpose of the Law? It
was added in order to show what wrongdoing is, and it was meant to last until the coming of
Abraham’s descendant, to whom the promise was made. Angels handed down the Law with a man
acting as a go-between. But a go-between is not needed when only one person is involved; and
God is one. Act 7: 53: You are the ones who received God’s law, that was handed down by angels-
yet you have not obeyed it! Unquote.
Then the controversial teacher continues giving solutions by cutting the extremes of thinking
or focusing too much about the law thru using words of advice and explanation about the nature of
man like : James 4: 7-10: Quote: So then, submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will
run away from you. Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you
sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites! Be sorrowful, cry and weep; change your laughter into
crying, your joy into gloom! Humble yourselves before the lord, and he will lift you up. Galatians
6:19: What human nature does is quite plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy, and indecent
actions; in worships of idols and witchcraft. People become jealous, angry, and ambitious.
Galatians 6:22: But the spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these. Romans 8:3: What the Law
could not do, because human nature was weak, God did. Romans 8:4: God did this so that the
righteous demands of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and
not according to human nature. Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their
minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have
their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants. To be controlled by human nature results in death;
to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace. Romans 7:14-17: We know that the law is
spiritual; but I am a mortal man, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do; for I don’t do
what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate. Since what I do is what I don’t want to do,
this shows that I agree that the law is right. So I am not really the one who does this thing; rather it
is the sin that lives in me. Unquote.
A scholar asked: would you explain please in simple way the relationship of law or whip & the
Word- with regards to human nature, spiritual nature and the curious mind? So the controversial
teacher also has some difficulties and explained: Perhaps if there is a chemist who would
demonstrate some tinkering of common sense: say glasses ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’ are filled with pure water
that represents universal good words and/or perhaps good conscience; but because of exposure to
some food coloring ‘a’ becomes color red, ‘b’ becomes color green, ‘c’ becomes color blue. All has
pure water before. If those colors are different balanced/moderate religions, still the water is fine to
drink. But if harmful elements say harmful bacteria contaminate any of those colored pure water
then it could be harmful to drink; but those harmful bacteria could be disinfected by say chlorine,
and the water even if it is not pure but had been disinfected it could still be fine to drink.
I think the glass is the innocent curious mind that could accept anything extreme of positive-
bad or extreme of negative-bad; or moderate/balanced-good. The pure water is the balanced
instinct or in born conscience or inner voice perhaps cause by the word of God being suggested by
an angel or spirit. The food coloring is any balanced/ moderate religion using balanced blending or
right balanced of words, rituals, whip, and others but perhaps no proud claim, or exaggeration of
any sort because if there is exaggeration in that religion, that religion would become part
accomplish of extremism which could be wholly or partially contrary to balance; or as a medium
or instrument not to propagate universal rule of balance and harmony, but as an accomplish to
create tilting, twisting of universal truth that trigger hating; economic collapsed of the land;
rampant crimes; or terrorism. The contaminant bacteria are the devil’s trick like: extreme use of
whip, extreme use of rituals, extreme use of word, extreme use of anything that becomes tilted or
twisted; or any extreme use of religious gimmick, proud distinctions, and proud claims. And the
disinfectant is the universally good words teach by any balanced/moderate religion which could be
enhanced or verified true if read in the bible-revealed; or read in any balanced inspirational book.
So the balanced teaching could be one to minimize hating and conflict: “loving God and loving
neighbor especially his enemies.” Love teaching is the focus of balanced groups/religions; not on
issues of controversies. And the balanced teaching could never be credited ‘only’ to claimant(s) say
“a” or “b” because moderation/balancing are instinct and in born.
So I think being a superior religion is now not debatable. It is like the H2O where in some
countries it is called water, “agua”, “‫”ﻱﻷ‬, “& so on and so forth”. What is relevant now for all the
moderate/balanced religions/groups is: how the universal balanced word or word of God-teaching
of loving- should be incorporated or enhanced to each of any religion; or to cut those excesses and
lacking that cause the curious mind to being perhaps too aggressive; or too submissiveness; too
withdrawn; the opposite is to have just right balance in everything, every time, every where; & in
words & in deeds regardless of religious affiliation especially to imitate and improve small and
practical things first of any group.
Perhaps so that the spiritual rock would not be used again by any proud, conceit, superior
religion/group that “a” or “b” has “only” the true: right, way of gauging how grievous, serious,
mild, light one violates the spiritual rock that could cause again imbalanced or superiority and
conflicts, perhaps all moderate/balanced religions/groups should gather and make a right balanced
interpretation or consensus of the spiritual rock-love commandments.
 Perhaps if there is no consensus or majority ruling because every group has its own “also”
true and right way implementation of the commandments, then perhaps tolerance could balance the
extreme especially about the 1st & 3rd commandment.
