Religeous fundamentalism - Christian, Islamic and Judaic.

Posted on 08/05/2004 10:28:28 AM PDT by ADeanDemocrat

I would like to hear from other people whether they feel that George Bush is a devout Christian or not. I consider myself a devout Christian, and feel very uncomfortable with George Bush painting himself as being representative of my religeon.

It appears to me that fundamentalists within all the major religeons - Christianity, Islam and Judaism - are interested in heading our planet toward Armageddon. True Christians, Muslims and Jews ascribe themselves to the principles of religeous tolerence and peaceful co-existence.

I am interested in the opinions of others here re: this matter.

Isn't Armageddon what the Bible promises us?

Isn't that one of the stops on the way to Paradise?

This country was founded on the principle of freedom of religion. We as a nation, and I dare say this includes our political leadership, are not out to "Christianize" the world. As our founding fathers demonstrated, you can invoke the name of God, ask for His strength and wisdom, yet not include your religion in the Constitution.

It is the Islamic fundamentalists, such as bin Laden, that are out to "Islamicize" the world, as this is their stated goal. That having been said, please do not confuse the <10% of Islamic fundamentalists with the other 90% of Muslims in the world that are perfectly happy in practicing their religion in peace, and have others practice theirs in peace as well.

The fact that there are Christians in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and other middle east countries, and have been for centuries, is testament to this fact.

Then you have the Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia which prohibit religious freedom, and ban books such as the Torah and the Bible from their soil.

Please cite even once where George W. Bush has stated that the war on terror will not end until every last terrorist converts to Christianity.

The Bible essentially says of the Jews conquering Cannan, that if you don't use it, you'll lose it.

I feel very uncormfortable with you presenting yourself as being representative of my religion.

See, any number of people can play that game.

Do you subscribe to the Nicene Creed, BTW?

I am interested in the opinions of others...

Opinion #1 It's spelled "Religious."

Opinion #2 Re: True Christians, Muslims and Jews ascribe themselves to the principles of religeous(sic) tolerence (sic) and peaceful co-existence.

Someone should have informed Jesus of this fact. He demonstrated remarkably little tolerance for the self-righteous people who thought themselves to be RELIGEOUS...

Two comments:

1. As a "devout Christian," you are undoubtedly aware of the danger of trying to judge another's devotion. (See Matthew 7:1–5, if you have forgotten.)

2. In what way has George W. Bush ever painted himself as representative of your religion?

First, let me tell you...

I am a christian. There isn't anything GW has done to corrupt my faith.

Second. Christianity isn't a religion, it is a faith.

Thirdly, you are a troll and need to repent from your sin...I can help you with that.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA

Zot!
Did you feel that?

That doesn't sound very religeously tolerant of you.
