Emile, I cannot match your biblical knowledge but practically will agree. Israeli economic policies are driving Arab Christians from the Holy Land. This is too bad as the Arab Christians are a voice of moderation in the numerous disputes in the area.... Sincerely, Doug F.

Emile, I agree with this statement but not with the spirit of your militaristic crusade and selective indignation against Islam. Zionism is even a greater threat to Christianity and humanity, yet you never speak a word against antichrist Jewish fascism. Your duplicity is strange. It seems to me that Douglas came on asking help to bring light to an injustice in this world. Why do you attack him because he does not take up your hate? And do you really think God will let ANYTHING destroy His Son's bride?

Emile Here is a post from another thread outside of SI. I thought of you when I read it. Thank you for helping to illuminate for me, that which I am not, and do not wish to be. Mark Feb 10 1999 6:48PM EST I have read the bible also, cover to cover many times. I have no problem with the bible, only the worship of the bible by people who whould go to any lengths to 'convert' everyone else, including laws, force, and torture. History is full of such 'converting' efforts by book worshipers. I don't find that people of different religions fight and fuss about who is right. I do find book worshipers who claim specific religions fighting and fussing about who is right. Real religion transcends hate and violence, and finds friendship and love even among those who believe differently. Idoltry always seems to hate and do violence in the name of their dogma. Having seen such violence, I find it is necessary to try to help such people transcend their dogma, to think outside the borders of their ungodly dogma. Dogmas are very attractive traps, and if folks don't be honest with each other about this, the harm will grow. This is not a matter of fear, but of experience.
