one more thought before i hopefully go... there are things about christianity that i love like jesus' teachings and this past day i should have forgiven someone lying viscously and twisted about me and loved my enemy and i would not be so devastated and sick about the fiasco... even though i only told the truth, i got hurt and returned meanness with meanness and that is what jesus was trying to tell us not to do cause it does destroy something good in you and only makes more hate... so yes, christianity has its good points... but the biggest problem with it is this whole armeggedon and damning anyone who is not christian... that is evil in my mind. the 2 best and kindesst and most decent professors i ever had were jewish, my best friend in graduate school was palestinian muslim, some of the nicest guys i know were one a iranian muslim i worked with and several india hindu and buddhist, asian buddhits and many agnostics and atheists... wonderful decent people far more than many of the condemning damning christians i have known... so how can i prescritbe to a religion, even a philosophy, that damns these wonderful good people just cause they don't believe a man's crucifiction saves those who believe that it saves them and the rest are damned to an eternity in a fictitous hell with a fictitous devil tormenting and torturing and eating away at them in the most vile psychotic delusions of such a thing. i personally think a religion that talks and thinks that way, causes a psychosis in its followers to beleive and wish such thigns and that is why good christians can do the kind of evil twisted psychotic lies to good people and their good deeds like i was just subjected to... its all an ego sickness to need to hurt people that jealous, petty, mean and sometimes evil people want to use their religion and their damning lies to damn. it is unhealthy and i have seen no worse case of it than in assyrian christians in these forums... now some others against them can be just as damning and bad in their own way, but before we can change anyone else we have to change ourselves.. make the change in ourselves that we want to see in the world... so if we don't want muslims to turn to terrorism then christians need to stop damning and crusading against them... if we don't want muslims to dhmini oppress christians then christians need to stop opressing views that don't fit theirs... i think it is horrible the ways mulsims oppress women and nonmuslims, but we can only change ourselves and that is why i have such an untraditional form of christianity, not becuase i hate it as others here do, but becuase i love the teachings of jesus and i find the rest of the damning stuff corrupting to it.. just like the users and haters on these forums have take all my good and pure intentions and help, and corrupted it.
hopefuly my parting thought and hopefully you will think about how bad it is to damn so much from lamasau to nonbelievers... for that mentality is ruining the world, and yes the other side does it too, but i come from chrisitanity so i can only change myself first to not damn and to understand both and all sides... and i think all sides on this forum could use a little more of that too.
