Who do we fear?
Those that feel this way can NOT believe in the same God that I do. This poor misguided young woman is as misguided as are the extremists that follow Osama Bin Laden. As I watch this, my heart felt like she was calling God a terrorist!
Whose opinion do we value? Whose God is the "right" God? Isn't God, God? Maybe we call him by different names, but shouldn't they all mean love? Do you think those that practice Buddhism are not as good of a person as a Protestant?
The massive numbers of religions in the world all really revolve around one thing. A divine creator, but when it turns to ugliness and people kill in the name of God, I am as saddened and discouraged as I am sure He would be.
Have any of us ever met someone with this girls rhetoric, or a vengeful heart (in the name of any religion) and left their presence thinking, wow, did I just meet a man (or woman) of God? But, have you met a simple soul, who doesn't have a harsh, judgmental bone in their body, that has had the worst that this life can offer, and left their presence with filled with the spirit of whatever greater power that you believe in.
This type of misguided individuals need to stop thinking that there is only one name for God, there isn't.

So-called Christians like this actually increase my non-believe. I don't talk about or post the fact that I don't believe except with people that I know also do not believe. I basically try to live by the Golden Rule. I also believe it is each persons right to choose to believe or not, and would never try to convince someone that they should not believe, but crackpots like this and The Westport Baptist Church are really not doing anything to change non-believers into believers, and if there is a God, I hope these people never get to see him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fact that this type of person never brings a person to God, but truly makes them question. Like I said in my post, all of the religious, spiritual people I know believe that God is Love. Whether it be a Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, Bahi etc. the common denominator is something greater than we are and created all that is good and loving. The worst thing about this girl is, that someone raised her with this bias and she will reproduce and carry it on for another generation!
