Sorry for such a personal question, just trying to figure you out. Considering your neighborhood, your relatives, and the liberal church you attend, I think I see where you are coming from. However, I don't agree with you.

Were all of Christianity to explicitly follow its role model, Christ - as we see evidenced in the Gospels of the Christian Bible - you would not have cause for such a low opinion of Christianity.

Conversely, if all of Islam were to explicitly follow its role model, Mohammed - as evidenced in the Koran and Hadiths - you would have cause for a much lower opinion of Islam.

More than opinion, with you living in such close proximity, your very life would probably be in danger. Assuming, that is, that these neighbors of yours were to fully emulate the founder of their relgion, Mohammed, and assuming you did not capitulate to their "gospel."

I agree with what you are trying to say to muawayh (sp) but the hallmark of Christ and Christianity is humility. "Christ - as we see evidenced in the Gospels of the Christian Bible - you would not have cause for such a low opinion of Christianity."

I'm reminded of the Word of God in Micah 6:8

"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

The deal is, like one poster noted, people pick and chose in religion much like they would in a cafeteria.

When you belong to a Liberal church you learn to discount 99% of the garbage they try to feed you, and strike back when it's totally outrageous ~ no sense wasting your energy on the small stuff because they will eventually try a pitch for something extremely beyond the pale.

Moslems are no different than the rest of us in that regard except they are a bit devoid of organized and informed opinion about what to do with mentally ill, mentally retarded, or sick people. My experience has been that when they observe christian charity as practiced with such folk, they are more than willing to accept the correctness of your moral viewpoint.

The vacant spot in the Moselm outlook is a result of legalism. Brands of Christianity that dwell too much on dogma, doctrine, or legalism can have the same problem. If you belong to such a group you really have to overcome that disability.

With the departure of the AlQaida 9/11 ground support team I don't think we have any Moslems around here who are dangerous.
