Love it! If only the "authentic" one was also able to add to life in any way - rather than subtracting from it!
>"It's a religion of peace, and we will kill you to prove it!"
Very much the prevailing atittude. The hypocrisy is staggering. Saudis - fervent Muslims for five days of the weke before they climb into their Mercedes and zip across the causeway into "liberal" Bahrein to whoop it up! I see women are still struggling to be permitted to drive! Only a couple of examples, of course.....
>Christianity is strong enough to withstand criticism
The profundity of these seven words is truly immense. As with individuals, it is those with the not-dared-to-be-accessed doubts somewhere deep within that creates a sense of unrecognised insecurity which, in turn, provokes an aggressive, out-of-proportion response to even a hint of criticism - as if admitting there is a hairline crack in the plaster
would then bring the entire wall crumbling! Those with a strong belief in their faith may not favour criticism, of course, and they will put forward their point of view. But they do some with a sense of invulnerability, aware that other opinions are unlikely to shake that assurance. They are highly unlikely to snarl, lash out, throat-slit or impose a fatwah!
