But, she was touting a book she had just finished about the common roots of islam, Judaism and Christianity. She was selling the line that the three really are the same, the main difference being that islam considers mohammed to be the latest of the 'prophets' - you know just like Jesus.
It was everything I could do to keep from going off about sharia, jihad, women's subservience...
I took this angle, saying to her...
"So, you are no longer a Christian, are you?"
She was offended, "Of course I am!"
Nope...anybody who even entertains the concept of Jesus as just another prophet, not God, cannot be a Christian.
She didn't like it and I let it go in the interest of a peaceful dinner...but she has bought the lib-lie in totum....even to the point of denying her religion.
Like opinion polls, respondents self-describe themselves. Which means their descriptions actually have almost no meaning.
George W. Bush, for example, in several interviews after leaving office, revealed beliefs that contradict traditional Christian teaching. But even those who saw the interviews are reluctant to be honest about what he actually said. Like a Mormon, if he says he’s a Christian, then he must be a Christian!
A dinner with NY Libs...how special!!!
