If both would just do what they're supposedly designed to do then there would be no problem. Why waste the time?

As a Christian I would reform Christianity which has become a political institution that is spreading racism, hate and separate, but not equal.
Christianity can become inclusive and not exclusive if Christians think of unity, a God that ties everything together in some form of harmony, then everything is in a relationship with everything, God. When everything is in a relationship with everything else then nothingness or no thing exist in isolation or separate from everything else; therefore, everything is inseparable even opposites are one. In our body we have opposite muscles that complement one another. One muscle straightens the arm and the opposite muscle bends the arm. We have opposites in the body that complement each other for the health and well being of the entire body. It seems it was designed to co-operate and work with opposites that are inseparable. In other words opposites are just two parts of one whole and are not separate. In silence, we have no point where heat ends and cold begins. I think Christianity needs a dialog to talk about the cooperation and oneness of everything working together. We have two eyes and they see one vision and our two ears hear one sound.
My fellow Christians pray out loud, spout untruths and spread fear to sell their religion when they just need to be silent and go to the Divinity within in, which seems speaks volumes on the infinite, as our theories and knowledge are finite and only explain a part. I feel if a teacher says that a theory is the only true or possible one then it is a sign that this master does not understand the theory or the dilemma. Our minds are limited like words and can’t grasp all possibilities; therefore to look for understanding I feel Jesus is saying one needs to look beyond the mind without words or actions. I feel in the Divinity within or pure being we can find and can understand the One True Love then Christianity would not be about believing in things, words or rules, but about being sacred and holy, whole-ly.
