However, as a Christian, I see the few glaring differences that are far from what the Bible says. See, these people want to eliminate barriers, any sort of segregation. They accept all religions, all sexualities, all language, all races, all ages, everything. They show benevolence to everyone, they are far from greedy, they are generous, they are honest, they are themselves. They love. It is all so wonderful except for that first part. They are very accepting of homosexuality and any religion you could be. That is very much the opposite of God's teachings.
I guess for me, when I heard about these people, I sort of thought that finally man discovered the truth, that although there are some blemishes, we finally unearthed the key to peace, to harmony. It seemed so good. However, that thought was very false. Truth is not a secret that is hidden in us somewhere that people have just been too busy to look for. Truth is not a philosophy, nor a lifestyle. It is not conjured, uncovered, or constructed. God is truth. God is the only way we might know what truth is. If something in any way contradicts what the Bible says (even though it's so close), it is not the truth.
So as bad as it seems disagreeing with these wonderful people's ideology, I have to. It was hard to come to that conclusion because it was so, so easy to just accept their principals as a whole, ignoring the small problem areas. But there you go. That is what has been floating around in my head. What's been going through yours?

p.s. I'm still going to listen to their music, though, because it rocks! :)
