*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
This article has little to do with metaphysics or anything that I would describe as being philosophically meaningful. It's just some interesting memories I thought I would share. Recently I was selling my car to an insurance salesman (Yes he did try to sell me life insurance, but this article is not about him). As he was telling me about his job, it sparked some memories in me of the salesmen (women too) who gave me their presentations over the years. A few times I rudely sent them packing because they just didn't take no for an answer. I guess that is how they were taught to close a sale. I imagine a person must have a tough hide to be successful. Rejection is to be expected. The following two stories are reversed. The story in the next paragraph occurred when I was in my thirties, and the second one took place in my early twenties.
I remember an ADT salesman who had an excellent argument for why I needed his alarm system. I was young and lived in the bad part of town. My house had been broken into before I became its new owner. The tip-off was that the owner had nailed the windows shut. However, I was the proud owner of a pure bred German shepherd who had a loud bark. The truth is, he was afraid of his own shadow. I expressed my doubt that anyone would break into my house with a large shepherd patrolling it. The salesman said home intruders could just spray oven cleaner in his face. I didn't buy the alarm system. Later I was thinking about why a criminal would break into a house occupied by a large dog with sharp teeth when he could pick a home that doesn't have any pets? My house was just one of many in a busy residential neighborhood. A criminal would have to go through a lot of trouble to leave with very little.
In my earlier years, there was a Kirby salesman who came to visit after I signed up for a free carpet cleaning. This gentleman was by far the most talented salesman I have ever seen. He had this see-thru vacuum cleaner, so that you could see the dirt accumulating in the filter. He rolled the vacuum cleaner back and forth on the sofa chanting "Do you want to clean all of the dirt or some of the dirt." The only thing I can remember about his presentation was "all of the dirt or some of the dirt." It was almost hypnotic. He moved very quickly. I was thinking to myself "Yeah. I want to get all of the dirt." That's rational I thought. I fell right into it. Somehow I was sweet-talked into buying a $1,500.00 vacuum cleaner on an installment plan. I don't believe I ever used the Kirby. I ended up giving it to my friend years later who says he loves it. Strangely enough I almost felt compelled to call the company and give the salesman's boss a commendable report on his presentation. I must have had sucker written all over my face.
I detest hardcore sales tactics as I feel the salesman is insulting my intelligence. I actually find it insulting when a salesman says "How much can you afford?" Or "Let me check with my boss." I'm sure that's not their intention. It's annoying just the same. However, there are those rare occasions when a common peddler impresses you with his or her energy and charisma. Be wary of the fast- talking sales professional.

I believe that an individual should think independently and without undue influence. It's necessary to question the doctrines of your religious and political affiliations to define what is true for you. The primary difference I see between the ideologies of Spiritualism and Christianity is the one that deals with the vicarious atonement. The Christian religion has as their central theme the idea that Jesus died on the cross, to redeem God's disobedient and unrepentant people from their sinful ways. Christians are taught that by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior, God forgives their sin and welcomes them into heaven. Jesus is the symbolic sacrificial lamb. At least this is how many religious leaders choose to interpret the Bible. Perhaps he could more accurately be described as a scape goat.
As I stated, vicarious atonement is at the heart of the Christian religion, which puts it, somewhat at odds with Spiritualism. I admit I have a problem with vicarious atonement that I would keep even if I were not a Spiritualist. The idea of having another person take responsibility for your actions is inherently wrong. We should not ask someone to stand in our place and suffer the consequences of our actions. That is irresponsible for many reasons. Punishing one person for what another did is a gross miscarriage of justice. God would not allow such a thing, especially since God does not judge our behavior.
God has left us to face the consequences of our poor behavior toward one another. This has to do with natural law such as cause and effect. There is no way for us to blame others for our wrongdoings. Nor would we want to. We are here to learn. I believe that statement is in agreement with the teachings of Spiritualism. If we allow another individual to assume responsibility for our misconduct, the only thing we will take away from the experience is that we got away with it. For that reason, we will have learned nothing. This is significant in that those who choose to allow Jesus to remove their "sins," are deceiving themselves. We think we are getting absolved of our wrongdoings by getting a free ticket to heaven. In truth, our experiences never leave us. At some point, we will have to deal with the guilt and regret we have accumulated in our subconscious as a result of our offenses. No one gets away with anything in life. We are all required to take responsibility for our actions. There is no "get out of jail free" card.
I want to point out that it is wrong to take responsibility for another person's bad behavior. By doing this, we are taking away that person's opportunity to grow in spirit. The outcome of learning is personal growth. If nothing is learned, no growth will occur. Covering for another person is doing them an injustice. It's deprives them of growth. That is a terrible thing to do to a fellow human. People need to make their choices and account for them. One philosophy stemming from the law of attraction craze states that we are responsible for everything we create. If that is the case, then we must acknowledge responsibility for our creations. By doing so, we position ourselves to accept a higher level of understanding that would not be available to us otherwise.
Next time someone says, "Did you know Jesus died for our sin?", tell him or her, "Well he shouldn't have. It's time for people to start taking responsibility for themselves."
