kyburgSo am I.
Yes, I know I have a number of other faiths represented on my friends list. I am so NOT threatened it's pathetic. You know this.
To me, the epitomy of religious dickishness is making the automatic assumption that prayers are not all going the same place - just because all the "proper forms" aren't being observed.
As for the basic divinity of Jesus Christ - consider for a moment. What would you need to convince a bunch of Jews and Arabs that there really was a God who wanted them to love one another instead of killing one another?
God ain't stupid, peeps.
And I really don't think "my" group was the only one spoken to. We were spoken to. That's enough for me.
We're very flawed creatures, after all. And we don't listen very well - transcribe very well - and are always expecting the worst out of each other.
Look for where we come together - instead of where we come apart at the seams.
Where everyone meets - that's where you'll find your proof. Proof of what?
That there really is something bigger, better, smarter and capable of acceptance and love grander than one can imagine.
All you need is a little faith.
