i can tell you are a very resonable person, i feel like "debating/reasonong" with you is more that and less arguing lol.
OK, first i want to say alot of your GENERAL ideas im ok with.
so i want to say, i was some who believed in most of the main line doctrines, then i found out there had been pagan practices pasted over WHAT I BELIEVED, at first it really shook me, but 2 weeks later a snapped out of it with a determination to find truth and have not stopped looking since. I want to say that I thank Yahweh as i know this was part of the process to accept what He had planned for me. i study the historu of every religion before i study it, and i have studied many religions, as once i found out some of what i believed was wrong i wanted to know if there was anything else from another religion that was fused into what i thought/think is truth.
so the tower of babel thing:
those of the "inner" doctrine know what it really represents, but the lay people are unaware, this is EU parliment building
the idol on the right is bablonian and the "hat" represents tower of babel, (occultists are heavy on symbolism)
