It is that hatred and intolerance and insistence that Christianity is the ONE TRUE WAY that has caused all the millions of deaths Christianity leaves in its wake,...
Christine,
This is another example of your dislike of Christianity. You equate hatred and intolerance with the belief that Christ is the true Savior.
This is very similar, if not identical, to Emile's view that Judaism is evil. Did you see his response to this?#reply-4145618
Emile's response:#reply-4197478
Islam and modern Judaism are the two most successful false religions because they have turned hundreds of millions of precisous men from God's plan of salvation. They are, consequently, very evil systems... -Emile Vidrine
He damns these religions because they are systems, just as you damn Christianity as a system. WOW - you and Emile have similar ideals!! Just swap the religions.
Maybe you think that Christians are just another religion in a long line of religions. Relgion X as opposed to religion A,B,C. Christianity, and I think most of the Christians on this thread will agree, is about God becoming man in order to save us through His crucifixion and ressurection. Jesus died for us as the ultimate sacrifice to man.
I'm getting into danger here because I'm defintelty not a model Christian (nor a good writer). In fact some of my thoughts and beliefs about kindness and love are very similar to yours. I posted something I wrote about 16 years ago from a college theology class #reply-4203985 (I can't beleive not a single response. Must have sucked, but I did get a B+)
I also have my doubts about the way Christ only saves those who know him, but Christians need faith. ( I tend to think global and wonder about the children dying who never did anything but pray to Buddah).
Anyway Christine, I'm not trying to argue with you. I just think you classify Christianity not as a gift from the big guy to save us but you trivialize it as a pagan religion with a bunch of intolerant zealots terrorizing mankind.
