    > What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?

    The whole world.

    > “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

    Yeah, get down on your knees and bow your head ... all the better for them to put that leash around your neck.

    > “Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.

    No, I don't think so. Ain't gonna happen.

    So much for your Christard crap.

    His own soulless Kingdom as God is a jealous God.

    “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

    Experience is the best teacher.

    “Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.”

    As you are your own God! Worship no one love thyself as a God but fall not to vanity and others will love in return.

    “Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence''

    Sorry but that statement doesn't make any sense. How can you be intelligent and believe in ancietn myths ? That's got to be hard.

    Depends on what you mean by a soul. Losing one's moral identity can be a tough price to pay for any amount of physical benefit.

    Most people for example would not murder people for money.

    What is "HUMBLE".

    Pride is a killer, puffy, bold arrogance.

    There are those who have chosen themselves, and then those who will be chosen.
