I hope not... although I am not a Christian by any means, I have a LOT of respect for a good portion of Christians today. They run great charities to help the poor & the hungry, ardent supporters of Israel, amongst other things. My only problem is when me or my children are told that we are going to burn in hell for not believing in their Christ, I take issue with it. Christianity is good for Christians, and I have nothing but respect for other people's religions... but as soon as that other religion gets in my face and calls says that I am doomed, I take that as an assault on my personal beliefs. That goes for Islam or Christianity. Be happy in your own belief, i give you my blessing and respect. But don't scare my kids into thinking they are bound for fire and brimstone when they die. |
I know what you mean, but the people running those charities wouldn't stop doing so if they changed their faith, the goodness in their hearts wouldn't disappear along with the religion.
