The Christians I Know.... |
|
Jose M. Tirado who is a Buddhist living in Iceland writes;
" The Christians I know oppose war, and regard it as evil. Period. The Christians I know engage me and others in real interfaith dialogue, enjoying the comparative jostle while retaining a healthy respect for others of differing belief systems. The Christians I know here founded the first women's political party in Europe and successfully elected the first woman President who was a single mother at the time. The Christians I know are by and large socialists believing that poverty should be eliminated, hunger eradicated and that social equality should be the primary purpose of having a government."

2. We used to be religious growing up. Then we grew up and |
|
found the real truth. The REAL TRUTH is you don't need a religion or church to talk to GOD or Jesus Christ.

5. The Christians you know are actually Christians |
|
Most that I know are Christian in name only; their actions betray them and make them liars and fools.
