Under who's definition of "hurt" and who's definition of "own good"?
The way I see it, is humans have free will. They can hurt themselves all they want, and make their own choices, once they are fully grown.
I believe humanity is now at the stage where it has to move away from home, much like when a teenager turns 18, he/she is eased or thrust into the world to learn its ways. Humanity now has the capability to make its own decisions and to fend for itsself. Too bad too many people are stuck in the "its not my fault" stage.
The purpose of religion is not to get as many followers as you can and fear monger and stuff. Religion is something you believe in that helps you live day to day. You don't preach that to other people and force it upon people claiming they are living wrong and being ignorant.
Im sure you remember history, yes? From high school? Remember Christopher Columbus? Or the Spanish Mission system? Wiped out almost ALL of the native Americans because they believed they must FORCE their belief upon others.

Who can pretend to have created a single form of life in the Universe?
Have we created any planet, any animal, any seed...?
Have you created your own person?
NO NO NO
Only God has created all of this, how dare you compare yourself to God?
Yes God is full of Majesty for the beauty, perfection and wisdom of his creation,... and for an infinite number of valid reasons..... and the unfair people like you who have nothing to do with majesty.
Now, I have nothing more to say to you too.
Those who challenge God are the WORST, I let you in your perdition and no one can save you from it, except if you sincerly repent to God, God will.

Even the Bible speaks of "god" in the third person and as if there are more than one. "Created in our own image". Not third person, but how many are there? And that seems to contradict that there is only one God, mentioned many other times in the bible. more like there are three. So it turns out christians aren't monotheists at all. Their polytheists.
devout christians believe that Christ and the holy spirt are eternal and were here in the beginning and were part of the creation process with God the father

That has stumped me for quite some time.
Devout Christians will say it's the Trinity. Hard to swallow since the events in Genesis predate the birth of Christ by thousands of years.
Some say the reference is to angels. I don't think God would equate himself with angels and besides, the plural is used in Genesis even before there is any mention of the creation of angels (Genesis 2:22 - "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of Us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever).
Us.
It's used again and again...and I have never received a satisfactory explanation from clergy, books or anywhere else for that matter.

My point is, Raj Patel is not "Maitreya". There is no "Maitreya" because that is just another object used to create fear and is used as just another focal point for falsely placed responsibility

I do not expect that a bunch of New Agers, who think that they are Gods, to confirm that I am saying the Truth. If you've read the Koran you'll recognize yourselves and your remarks in plenty of verses describing the people who are fated to hell. The people like you will never accept the Truth, they will persist in their perdition and unjustice until they see the flames of hell.
Your remarks are actually illustrating what I am saying, you're all contradicting yourselves, each one of you lost in his own perdition.
You've brought nothing except perdition and blind denial, contrary to you, I've brought a serie of 29 episodes which contains only Truth, you're not even able to deny any of the elements that I quote in my series, you're just able to deny and to insult, but I am not angry at you, not at all, because you're only harming yourself, not me nor the true believers.
Raj Patel, the vessel of Satan, Gog and Magog are precisely here to harvest people like you... enjoy your life, the time is short for you.
Psalm 82.1 God presides in the great assembly;
he renders judgment among the “gods”:
6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
