    I think you don’t get to call yourself a member of one of the Abrahamic religions without actually confining yourself into a canonical interpretation.

    You’re a heretic. Embrace it.

      In a past life, you lit the fires at witch-burnings and gleefully hitched up people’s limbs to horses! Embrace it!

        Well sure, I’m human just like you. Our entire human ancestry is my past life. I am everyone that came before me - I stand on the shoulders of giants!

        Under different circumstances, different experiences, I’d be burning witches with the best of them.

        And our human history isn’t just my past lives, they’re yours too! I say every human that has ever lived are all part of the same lineage. Everyone that came before us are just different versions of us, and everyone we will ever meet is also just a different version of us, with different experiences and slightly different genetics. We’re all the same.

        But this is heresy.

          You’re catching on! Humans call it heresy. Don’t blame that on God. Btw the command wasn’t not to have other gods, it was to not put them before the most high (exalted) God. Who that is depends on who you are. And who I am!
