I am only posting here in very rare cases, in case hrtlm wants to make a comment again about my just going, and have kept out of this thread because I can guess where it is going to end up. No one is going to win.
But as it seems to get deeper and deeper into a criticism of Kiddo and her beliefs, I decided I'd like to post my support. I won't get into the discussion beyond this post for the same reasons I left, but I do want her to know I'm thinking of her in this respect. Someone mentioned casualities from debate in general here - that's actually a good term for those who have decided to seek support elsewhere, and if I were Kiddo, this would really tempt me to do just that.
I don't understand why some Jews from Christ's time can't be critized - they were Jews. So was Christ. So was his Mother. So were the apostles - all wonderful Jews. I'm part German. I am well aware that there have been good Germans and bad Germans in the world. In fact I have to deal with the fact that there were some damn bad ones... and it is hard at times to come from a people who could be so gullible and tyranical.
I wish that Lou would explain one thing - why everything he is describing (and I mean Everything I have read) is in Revelations? He is quoting Christ. Just as I would be quoting Gandhi if I said "Truth is my religion and ahimsa is the only way of its realisation." If I said I experienced this, and then found out that Gandhi had actually said this, I would wonder if perhaps I had read it somewhere and it had popped up at a later date.
And re: beliefs and choosing the right road -- someone said that it was the way Kiddo phrased it. Yes, O.K. In keeping with analyzing everything that is posted here so that No One will be offended, I agree. But the very essense of "faith" is a "firm belief in something for which there is no proof" and "something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs".
Therefore, if you believe that the way to heaven, or eternal bliss, or whatever, is through Christ, there can be no other way. Otherwise you don't truly believe your conviction.
