I’m betting you never were a Christian.
I know I was never a Christian,
Because I use to believe:
Its better to be stolen from than to steal..
Its better to be lied to than to lie.
Its better to be killed than to be a killer.
I have not believed in several years and I definitely to do not believe now that I'm completely aware that
Christianity is something to be used for political purposes.
but I still have my morals which were taught by my parents.
Dear
Penelope I started a Bullring thread to try to distinguish
between true and false Christianity instead of confusing the negative abuse of it with the positive real meaning.
SweetSue92 cited a post of yours where you recognize
there are a lot of "crooked Jews."
Does this mean you recognize that ANY religion can be corrupted by greed and/or politics?
If there are crooked Jews and crooked Christians,
why wouldn't these be DISTINGUISHED from the honest faithful Jews and the honest faithful Christians?
What is wrong with being one of those?
Why would you insist on defining someone's religion based on people abusing it for politics.
So you are going to blame the victims for the wrongs committed by abusers?
And attack and reject their faith because "other people abused it"?
Please check for the thread under Bullring I started
to try to distinguish the "negative political abuses"
from the TRUE faith and practice. I spelled out my explanations
and concerns why this doesn't seem fair to paint whole groups
and practices just because some people end up abusing that.
That's terribly unfair and hurtful to all the faithful people who practice
sincerely and correctly. Please reconsider what you are saying and why.
Bull Ring - Rejecting Christians and blaming Christianity for hypocrisy that is AGAINST Christianity
Thank you
Penelope
and I'm sorry that whatever hypocrisy, abuse or politics has caused
you such outrage that you would lash out and blame "all Christians"
for that, but there is a better way to correct wrongdoing if we address
each particular issue to be corrected by those responsible instead of
rejecting whole groups. We can better achieve justice by working WITH
each other sharing responsibility, instead of blaming victims equally as the oppressors
which seems not only irresponsible and unfair but ineffective and damaging.
