* "Religion" (or "ritualism") is trying to earn Gods' favor - however this is impossible because God demands ABSOLUTE PERFECTION, for "by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight." - (Romans 3:20). God did not respect Adam and Eve's attempts to cover their nakedness with fig leaves (which incidently is the inspiration for the "fig leaf aprons" used in the "religion" of occult Masonry) once their robes of light disappeared because of the fall. God instead clothed Adam-Eve in the bloody skin of a lamb (symbolic of the "Lamb of God" and the life-blood-transfusion He provides from Calvary ONLY to those who ASK to RECIEVE it, not through works but as a GIFT).
