I have a strong believe in God, but I think that “organized religions” should be ashamed for the pain and suffering that they bring on a daily basis the world over. Just look at all the wars that have been and are being fought in the name of this religion or that! They all lay claim to being the “true and only one,” and preach, as you do, that the rest are some sort of heathen stepchildren. And Christians can be as intolerant as any other group. You go on and on as an “all knowing sage,” but all you have at the end of the day is your faith or whatever you have that causes you to believe as you do. And who’s to say that you are right and the next guy isn’t. It is a disgrace to tar the Mormons as you do with your comment about their not knowing about love and hate. As a group, they are probably among the more decent folks on the planet. But their views don’t comport with yours, so they are fair game. And I guess you feel better about staying home from the polls, rather than “risk” someone whose religious views you oppose, and allow and avowed Marxist to remain as our president. You are, in your own way, just as dangerous to our freedoms as the RATS, and for that matter the Muslims, but my guess is that I will be treated to another round of your vituperative rhetoric for saying so.
Vituperative? Defined as “Bitter and abusive.” Really? I’m not bitter. I’m just right. :)
And not because I’m anybody special. I’m not. Jesus started this whole controversy. He’s the one who said if you don’t believe in Him, you don’t believe in God:
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: [23] That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
So you see, it’s Jesus who started this thing about Christianity being uniquely true. So save your accusations of “vituperosity” for him. He’s the one who fails your political correctness test for not being “inclusive” enough.
As for me, I’m no “sage,” whatever that means. I’m just an ordinary yokel trying to follow his instructions, best I know how. And I fail sometimes. It’s not easy loving your enemies. But I’ll tell you what, if you’ll give it a try, you will get a blessing.
Peace,
