It helps to know how many other people are truly saddened and outraged.<br />It also makes me angry on behalf of all the good-intentioned, pluralistic Christians out there. I know every time Hindus do something stupid and violent in the name of Hinduism, I want to crawl under a rock...or throw one at them. *sigh*Saumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684586617971796705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136904882540860539.post-88201154868252153822010-02-25T10:01:57.650-06:002010-02-25T10:01:57.650-06:00I don't know who said it but I see it every da...I don't know who said it but I see it every day: "there's not much Christ in that Christian."mwkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213368334675691872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136904882540860539.post-40847259794345161972010-02-25T07:24:18.217-06:002010-02-25T07:24:18.217-06:00It often seems to me that some people try to bend ...It often seems to me that some people try to bend their religions to justify their beliefs, though, and this is where such intolerances develop. And then their actions follow dogmatic practices as opposed to the values that historically were core to the religion. I realize this sounds vague, so I'll give an example: Christians (and often the Evangelical branches) who won't allow homosexuals to be part of their community, or as you say, not distributing aid to people in need. How does this follow "Love thy neighbor as thyself"? I don't see anything about separating people into different classes, which leads to persecution. And wasn't Jesus placed on the cross precisely because of this?<br /><br />Perhaps this makes me judgmental... I think the question lies in how one acts on these judgments.padspawsnclawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947647884289752172noreply@blogger.com
