Well, I am of the christian faith, and it seems to me onetime that Bob stopped a person from adding a link to a page that had the basic tenets of my faith. I think it was the one about how there is no other way to heaven except thru Me (meaning Jesus). For whatever reason Bob didn't like that. Which I must think is a personal thing on his part, because it is a tenet of a faith. Just a fact of what most Christians beleive in. SO WHAT? CHRISTIANS beleive it, noboddy else has to! I think that most people beleive that their faith is the best faith otherwise why is the world would they stick to it????? So why would I take offense to someone elses beleifs? I FIRMLY beleive that each goes to the banquet table of spirituality and takes what they want, and leave the rest. So some go with Judaism, some Buddism,some Islam, some Hinduism, Native spirituality, etc, etc, and various combinations and permutations of these faiths!Whatever speaks to THEM. In fact I MYSELF struggle with that particular phrase, and wonder if it has in fact been taken correctly from its original its context.....we really have so little to go on...
So I don't know. Faith is tricky. Each will beleive what they beleive, and if it don't include hurting others, well, I got no problem with it. We all just human. We all screwups. Its the human condition. NOBODY is perfect, no matter what color, age, sex, relogion, nationality, state of sanity, etc, etc, that they are.
We all just people.
I wish we could get along better :(
I wish there was so much less hurt :(
Sigh.
Most people just wanto feel safe, heard, loved.
Once again, I dunno what the hell i'm saying....or trying to say....:(
