I think you are mis-reading my intention. I am not suggesting that people of any faith should not persevere and increase their knowledge of and devotion to God.

I am just saying that vicious infighting between monotheists greatly please those who hate God and are busily attempting - with measurable success - to dismantle the basic religious foundations of human civilization.

Who is more dangerous to society - someone who believes in God but worships a little differently, on a different day, or in a different house of worship than you, or an atheist homosexual-promoting NAMBLA supporting ACLU activist who is trying to remove every reference to God in the public sphere?

I think the answer is pretty clear.

Maybe your view could be summed up like this:
In my office there are eight of us who are followers of Christ. Two Baptist, one Pentecostal, two Catholic, two Assembly of God, and a Methodist.
We frequently discuss scripture and debate faiths, but no matter what the discussion, when one who does not know Jesus Christ as their Savior joins the discussion we only continue with the parts we agree on - the Saving power of Jesus Christ and Mans need of that Salvation.
In private, or at lunch alone, we can get pretty heated (in a Christ-like way), but never in public.

Cordially,
GE

When Paul calls for unity within the Church, being of one mind and body, what do you suppose he's referring to?
