Grew up in america, moved to germany after my army
time. Was southern baptist. Says enough I think.
The majority of christians I know are not bad people at
all. They are normal people, that do not
flaunt their belief, nor do they berate others that do not
believe. It is their personal private
belief, and that is all... the ones I do meet that are the
most vocal are hardly christians, and
as some of the writings at the Island show... far from what
christians claim they should be.
I would have to say, that the nicest most selfless
people I know, are not christians. Nor do they
believe in any kind of god. They are anything from humanist,
to wiccan to well you get the picture. They
accept everyone as they are... without any judgments. Christians
on the other hand do not. While they
will be nice and friendly, polite and helpful, if you are
not a christian, then there is something different
about you. The true care and true empathy are not there,
but a facade placed because they HAVE to be that way
because it is demanded of them when they worship god, unless
of course you are not a christian, then they can be aloof
or not have anything to do with you... and still feel good
about themselves.
Not at all. I am a very happy person. I live a
great life, and have the normal worries and fears that everyone
has,
my hate mail section is there for a few reasons, one it
shows the messed up people that are out there, how they
justify
anything with god, and show yet another reason why people
should not follow the christian god. Second, I get a kick
out of it. If I can get a person so riled up simply because
I do not believe in their version of a fairy tale.. that
is funny, and again
shows the inability of their god to change them.
I could never do that with the right hand... lol
Thanks for taking the time of writing into the
Island.
