Gandhi had SEVERAL christian followers in his "ASHRAM" I have no problem with christians
You have absolutelly not any idea about the Chritian religion but you attack the Christian religion. So you have a problem by liking to be a problem for people who you do not know.
Oh ... aha ... You have
no problem "but". A double negation, I love double negations and double confirmtions "but" (
) not the double negation "no" and "but" (What's now indeed no double negation).
than the idiot stuff they learn in Sunday school.
I never was in a Sunday school. We learn the Christains religion in a totally normal school what is called "religious education" for Catholics, Protestants and Muslims and "ethic teachings" for atheists.
As a kid I had no religious education---
Bad luck.
You drive me crazy
THAN about a dozen episodes in Sunday school-----
Aha.
I am not sure---but I think that the
church was Episcopalian----
And I'm not sure about what means "Episcopan" - better to say I have indeed not any light idea about what this is. As I said: We have here Protestans, Catholics, Muslims and Atheists. Some others also exist - but this is strange stuff from the USA - and other places of the world - which has often also nothing to do with religion but with strange sects and psychosects or criminal organisations like Scientology.
My wife is a Lutheran. Most Protestants in Germany are Lutherans. After Hitler the Protestants here decided to melt in one church. Before it had been about six or eight different churches what had not been very effective.
I was only 7 or 8. At that time all the christian
kids ---protestant and catholic --"KNEW" that DA JOOOOS KILLED JESUS.
What a nonsense. That's absolutelly not the message of Easter. Replace "Jew" with "American" when you read this textes in the bible and imagine aliens - noble and just aliens somehow but also unbelievable mighty and cruel aliens - who had conquered your country and you are an US-American freedom fighter in a very weak position. Perhaps you understand in this context the son of god fighting for all and every life and losing this fight as a criminal on a cross. And perhaps you understand the promise god gave us in Jesus the Christ.
They were not born
knowing that it is a good thing to accuse jewish children of "KILLING JESUS"----it was a
LEARNRED behavior.
We are human beings - we are free - so we have to learn everything. But we also have to check out what's right and wrong from all this what we learn and exeperience. So what? You haven not to aggree with such people - but you have also to ask yourselve why you try to reduce everythgin to this theme - which is indeed not your theme but only your weapon as far as I can see.
I considered it just as dumb as believing that the easter bunny came
Depends. Do you know "Eierweitwerfen" = Eggs-far-throwing. A tradition I learned in Hesse. You go with little children to a grassland and throw eggs as wide as possible and they land in the grass. And if the egg has no damage you won. The strange thing is only that nearly always only the most little children win. And you have to eat eggs and a lot of other stuff what's in your picnic basket where's also a wonderful lemonade. ... okay. Some people say that's "burgeois" but the eggs are very funny colored.
at nite and left Jelly beans in little baskets for Easter morn----but I did like the jelly beans.
UHM----I am a HEATHEN? like Socrates and Gandhi and destined at BEST to LIMBO?
Socrates and Gandhi were murdered from heathens. And for Ghandi Jesus was an Hinduist - what has perhaps also to do with to feel ashamed that he had beated his wife when he had been a young man. But I am sure if she forgave him on good reasons to do so - and not only on reason her tradition "forces" her to do so - then also god forgave him.
