[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [qb] [i]You're thinking of the ideal of christianity wherein people judge not and turn the other cheek....but that sure never happens.[/i] No, I'm thinking of Christianity, which is a religious belief, a way to live one's life. You're thinking of individual people in history who have claimed to be Christians without actually following Christian beliefs. Those people are NOT Christianity, nor is any group of people. Christianity is a way of life, and it's no more accurate to call it a religion of harrasment and self-righteousness than it is to call Islam a religion of terrorism and slaughter of innocents. [/qb][/QUOTE]Granted. You have agood point. In this context, lets see someone erect a statue with the open Koran in a courthouse and we'll see all these same proponents of the ten commandments go nuts over any OTHER religon's interpertation of God. See the rub? saying it's okay to aknowledge one group's religous beliefs will alienate the 30-40% that don't folow them. As to not understanding Christianity: I try to understand world history and social development, and that has not enderared me toward christianity in any way. [/QB][/QUOTE]
