The only way out of our collective mess is personal accountability. Just that's not particularly popular, especially to those with a religious or ideological mindset (same thing).
"I did all the correct and approved rites and rituals and recited the doctrines and dogmas perfectly... so why am I being judged so harshly as having been unrighteous in my compliance and complicity?"
Exactly.
Help me out here. Rites, rituals and religion are not what Jesus preached. I have no idea who is judging you but they must be people with only an “appearance” to a connection with God. Pharisees. Thinking they are doing everything right is man-thinking. A true relationship with God is a spiritual connection and is much deeper yet way more simple. Legalism is the road to hell.
