Ego I AM

Well golly gee, I guess that makes you feel smarter and better....Greatest. Not that I have been innocent of such ego stroking. A healthy Ego realizes that WE are Greater than I. Otherwise, why bother to start topics if you want to direct them rather than learn anything?

Humanity-centered religions, good? Yes. Esoteric ecumenist Gnostic Christianity is the best of these.

Supernaturally based religions, evil? Yes.
No. There is a basic spiritual struggle between good and evil. Human-Centered will ultimately fail. Many religious people know about God, and all of us have moments where we think we ourselves are right and the religious system is wrong. This brings light to Romans 3:4.

Most do not meditate or seek and thus do not find the only God they should trust.

Themselves.
Spiritually this is Pantheism. God is wholly Other. Not me, myself, nor I.

We live in a dualistic world
I disagree. Though Yin and Yang may be polar opposites, they are an outdated take on spirituality. Ellis Potter describes the evolution of spirituality quite well in his book, The Three Theories Of Everything.
Dualism is merely one stop on the path.

I AM Whom?
I think he is fishing, hoping for his opponents to say something indicting themselves and thus proving his dualistic theory. LamarkNewAge was similar.
A multi-faceted approach eliminates a villain/victim paradigm. Dualism preserves it. In theory.

I Am that I AM
*Sigh* Is that any way for a god to act?
Can you at least give us an apology?
