I grew up very religious and my entire family is religious . In response to the hypothetical question priest & saint My parents would be saints Becoming an adult and going more into the real world i was unaware of hypocrisy and people who hide behind their religion. As that was not my experience growing up. It was baffling to me as a young adult Now It disgusts me When we started the syringe exchange program the person who opposed it the most - preachers wife She drove bus and wanted to be able to refuse to take people to buy tobacco or alcohol. Refuse to pick up people in active addiction A preachers wife She told us in her congregation no one was in need or had problems Complete opposite of my parents, in their 70's who not only support the syringe exchange and harm reduction program but ask questions And attend community meetings and ask how they can support They do support When we had a community meeting the genuine questions were from boomers wanting to understand opiate addiction I don't understand turning your back on others in the name of religion when the religion I know teaches the opposite

I was at the store and a guy asked for some change and I gave him mine and said the habitual, 'for no drugs or alcohol?' I thought it funny later as I use the both.

There are what are called modalities or different modes of thinking.
Some people are into video games, drugs, or that exercise machine, or take your pick of any fictional universe, role play, or hobby.

By considering yourself and us as physical humans as explained. It's all your fault, corrupting Genesis.

I can’t explain humans. They are inexplicable sometimes.

Devotion, Bhakti, is the same as the ecstasies, Anandakaya, the bliss body.
Chanting, singing, music, is most easily explicable by its fruits.

Did you do something that made you feel bad, even without threat of condemnation or punishment?
The moral of the story is that everyone sins.

My point is. That doesn’t matter if you’re a good person. Everyone makes mistakes. I’m not condemned to hell because I made myself feel bad.

It appears that you have a conscience, independent of any threats or shaming, on my part.
Is it such a bad thing to say about you?

I haven't accused you of anything or asked the details your personal business or said that anything in particular was going to punish you, ever. 
You were not being religious. There should be nothing to be afraid of.

Do you believe that every person contains a spark of the divine or was made in the image of God?

I think everyone has the potential to be a saint or a devil.

Christians believe that the kingdom of God is within a person, and you are doing wrong against a likeness of God or against his handiwork.
