PA,
I feel badly that you have had difficulty in life which may be making you so angry.
Your "religious" words just can't cover your angry, hurt soul up can they?
Jesus's teachings have changed many lives for the better. Mohammad spread many good words, unified people of a tribal area, and has also led, through his legacy, people to a better way of life through religious belief. My Muslim friends are amongst the most HONORABLE people I know. The Jews, tough spirited but gently wise in so many things. Knowing many good Jewish people has enriched my life, and taught me to grow as a human. So many wise proverbs, parables, and philisopical writtings over the thousands of years...
You talk as if you know my beliefs. How could you? I poke at any fanatic I see using God for his own purposes.
Like Osama. Islam's most radical idiots taking some words of a book and taking shit to extremes. Really it is about wealth distribution, democracy and bigtime politics. Damned Muslims we say...
Like The Pope sending crusaders around the world to use war to evangilize nations and people. Once again, wealth distribution, democracy and politics. Damned Christians....
If we read the ancient Hebrew texts where armies are ordered to plunder and enslave, the "bring me your gold and your virgins" stuff, we could say, Damned Jews.
But that is just the same old thing....politics, and wealth distribution.
Most religions are highjacked for some reason or the other from time to time, and can be twisted to justify damned near anything. See Hitler, the Christian, if you doubt me on that one. When people believe the hijackers are right, anything can happen.
Usually, a religion is taken by one person, to quell a deap seated need set. When a very unhealthy person finds religion and wraps it around thier persona like you do PA, it has been HIJACKED.
You are an embarressment to real Christians.
Bill
