The Spirit and the Letter of the Law

We will all go to hell if we can’t make the distinction between the LETTER of the LAW and the SPIRIT of the LAW!

For example, the difference between peaceful Muslims and ISIS extremists is exactly that. Whereas a peaceful religion follower would use the text to allow others to enjoy life the ones applying BLINDLY the LETTER of the holly books will end up hurting others. In the end it is clear that they will end up in hell as God never intends to hurt people.

Punishments based on law infringements, even more important the ones we impose as “examples” for others in order to install mass fear are equally damning and usually on long term have exactly the opposite effect.
