The Climate In The Middle East
The climate in the Middle East seems to be declining by the minute and it’s a little worrying particularly when you take into consideration the reaction of some fundamentalist Muslims after the Mohammed cartoon scandal.
What’s gonna come out of all of this?
I’m trying to find positives but all of the threats of violence only seem to put the power firmly in the hands of the extremists.
The Christian right in the US will most likely intensify calls for a war. I assume that people like Pat Robertson are really lapping all of this up.
I am pretty much sick of hearing about it and I think that our only hope is that Religion is widely recognised as irrelevant as soon as possible.
I do not understand how so many people can have so much staked on their faith. How can they possibly be sure that they are right, especially when it comes to acting upon their beliefs and harming someone else?
As time passes it seems to be ever more evident that the number of radical Christians and Muslims that are willing to kill for God is increasing.
These are the only people who seem to be featured in the media which completely taints the publics perspective on the issue, increasing the likelihood of converting the otherwise harmless apathetic masses into religious activists.
It seems that the law-abiding majority of religious believers are not news worthy at all.

‘As time passes it seems to be ever more evident that the number of radical Christians and Muslims that are willing to kill for God is increasing.’

Of course, this is in part due to the fact that as time passes the total number of people in both groups continues to grow. Now if we are dealing with percentages it becomes another matter.

This is because in all forms of news media and any societal or cultural issue, it is the loud few who are heard rather than the quiet many. This is how 1% of the population of a democracy can controll the political world within said country even when most of the other 99% disagree, or at least would if they could hear the whole story.

Hi,
Your Blog states that you hate God.
Some questions for you:
Do you believe there is a God? I’m presuming you do as otherwise you are hating nothing.
Which god do you hate? The Godhead of The Father and The Son or the god of this world?
Do you know the difference between the message of the Gospel (good news) and religion?

I hate the Christian idea of god yes2truth. I do not necessarily believe in God either. I sometimes hope there isn’t.
I’ve read the Bible and understand the gospel. It doesn’t appeal to me even remotely.

What is it about ‘the Christian idea of God’ that you hate?
Have you ever wondered that those whom you think are Christians are maybe not even Christians at all?
Are you sure you understand the Bible for it is full of errors caused by bad translations. The same applies to The Gospel for there are many non-gospels in circulation out there?

Ah yes, the good old “Those people aren’t REAL Christians” trick. As if it makes any difference.
Refreshing to hear a Christian admit that the Bible contains errors and is subject to the foibles of translation, but if you really think that then what basis is their for your faith? If the Bible is not the literal word of God then it is not any more special than any other historical doccument.
