Sorry I really need to rant!:hair:
So I was on facebook tonight and a friend of mine from High school who I would go to church with writes this:
"I'm sick and tired about people dancing around the obvious in this country. Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. Anyone who claims it to be is not only ignorant but dangerous. Christians are not blowing up muslims in the name of Jesus Christ. Call it profiling.....call it whatever you want but we are at war with a religion and this dance around the obvious BS needs to stop."
I was shocked. This was followed by his little brother writing a message (I will not post) of hate against homosexuality. I went to CCD with these guys, had my first communion with them. Where did they learn this hate? When did they learn to use their religion to hate others? I'm still in shock.
When 9/11 happened our Preist told our entire congregation to go and read the Corran. He told us that we needed to know that it was not their religion that told them to do it, that it was extremists. Were they not there that day?
I know religion is a touchy subject to almost every one. I don't like others to push their religious views at me so I will try not to push mine at you.
But seriously, why the hate? Where did Jesus say love thy neighbor unless they don't believe what you believe?
I have a number of friends of all religions and faith or lack there of, and of all sexualities. I just can't see some one getting to heaven and being turned away for showing kindness to another human being.
I think hate is all consuming, IMO.
I'm just so shocked! I'm really sorry if this offends anyone.
