Lowing - that's the whole point! you're right you don't "get it"!.
As a Christian though, do you ever ask yourself where do we find God in this situation? Where is Peace?forgiveness? Reconciliation? after living on a Battlefield for 30 years surrounded by horror, suffering, pain, destruction, eventually, eventually, this is the question we had to ask ourselves here, as Christians. It's just a shame it took so many senseless deaths, bombings, and tragedy before we did. How do you Americans begin to address & answer the same question as a "Christian" nation?
1. Do not quote me unless you use the correct context. Show me where I said the things you claim I said.
2. I am not a Christian, I am agnostic. My opinions are not formed based on the bible. They are formed based on my personal morality, experiences, and what I read. My views of right and wrong come from this.
I agree you most certainly are not Christian. Let me let you into a little secret about the second coming.. Jesus comes back into this world everyday through "us" who do actually believe in him, through our hearts and our actions, specially those that are the most difficult to face. He said "I am the way and the light". He ain't popping down again no matter what nonsense "churches" say. Divinity is what raises us above "animals". As for your "personal" morality, what you believe Lowing is far from moral it's offensive to anyone even vaguely "moral" no matter their religious background. Maybe you should try reading a little about morality, there are plenty of sources other than the bible, because it may straighten out your clearly warped understanding of what it means to be a moral person. You will always be an agnostic, a man without God because you don't know how to find him, because you don't look in the right places..
I tried looking at the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials, attitudes from modern Christians that bomb abortion clinics, the KKK, the war between Protestants and Catholics and on and on and on............... and yer right, I just couldn't find him.
Maybe he is on TV with Robert Tilton, or the 700 Club, or perhaps Ernest Angley. I tried looking at my fellow human beings as they flip me off while passing me on the highway, or cut me off at an exit ramp.
bottom line is, I will stack up my morilty for those demonstrated by muslims or christians any day of the week.
