Sure, I can get on board with leaving force/violence as a last resort and only to be used in the defense of our natural rights, as you've described
Why the pledge, at all, though?
Why not simply live your life as a sovereign being, no need to pledge to any creator or architect?
Pledges are not a requirement to obtain approval from my God, nor will your spoken words alone get you past Heaven's Gate
God knows what's in your heart and mind, and He doesn't give two flying fucks if you pledged to the right God in this lifetime
Your actions in life illustrate which God you have pledged your soul to
My God puts Truth and free will above all else, and those who operate in the darkness are about to feel the swift and mighty hammer of His Light

Maybe a better word would be “agent” instead of archon. I see that you distrust the organized binding of Christianity, but would you acknowledge that the man Jesus was host to an agent of Go(o)d? I see a similar spirit guiding the actions of many, across many “faiths” and many “times” and many “locations”
Have you read the Nag Hammadi scriptures? Where do you source your understandings from?
I read through "predestined for suffering" and appreciate some of the points considered / questions asked especially about the contradictions forming the foundation of the Abrahamic religions ie the existence of Hell and why an omnipotent omniscient God destine a soul to Hell to be punished for eternity?
And if no Hell, then why these other things?
Regardless of who or what is or isn't watching over me, I'm just going to continue following the Truth wherever it takes me, and I find this topic supremely interesting
Hmm kinda seems like we got our wires crossed... judging by your other comments in this thread (correct me if anything is wrong):
You call God the Grand Architect or El
You posit a “first son” of God, who you call Rael, who sounds largely synonymous with the demiurge or yaltoboath or satan
You suggest that Jesus, and those who exhibit the Christ Consciousness are agents of/manifestations of Rael
From this I surmise that you believe Lucifer to be a “good guy”, or in the language I was using, an agent of Go(o)d - so it seems we see different sides here as the “Good” side, so maybe you could shed some light there?
Yet you also say that you find great value in the Nag Hammadi scriptures...one which springs to mind, which conflicts with your claim about Jesus, is the Pistis Sophia, in which Sophia, the mother of the demiurge, also brings forth Christ, to make up for the suffering wrought by her ill-conceived first son.

Who is the archon of Go(o)d?

I'm not sure how you draw from that I meant Lucifer, the great deceiver
Literally the opposite of what I said, and almost exactly the same as your "mighty hammer of justice" used in your supposed letter to Leif Johnson
