"Exposed for my non-Christian perspective"?

Will I be excommunicated? Will I be shunned? Will I be tarred and feathered Marvin?

There are people constantly trying to bring religion into this issue, from bin Laden to many in this forum, and I stand with those who realize that religion in this case, is a tool to manipulate the masses.

I am perfectly at ease with my religion, and being "exposed" doesn't scare me, my faith is in Jesus, for He alone know what's in my heart.

What others may say means very little to me.

Let me tell you about those who may want to expose me for my "non-Christian perspective"...I forgive them.

"But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."---Matthew 6:15

And I was not talking about the Crusades Marvin, I was talking about this:

"What takes place after the Rapture?"
"After The Rapture, God will begin executing judgments against unbelievers, during a period called the Tribulation. At the end of the Tribulation all nations will attack Israel, and Jesus Christ will physically return, leading the armies of heaven. At the Battle of Armeggedon they will destroy everyone who is not a believer. Then Satan will be bound, and Jesus will set up the Millennial Kingdom, headquartered in Jerusalem. Jesus and the saints will rule over the nations of the Earth for a thousand years. During this period there will be people born who are not loyal to Christ. However, it usually will not be obvious. Therefore, at the end of the thousand-year period, God will release Satan and let him tempt those who inhabit the Earth. A large group will take up arms against the Lord and be defeated. Then, Christ will judge all who have ever lived, giving rewards to some and punishment to others. Those who were "destroyed" will be cast into the Lake of Fire, i.e., Hell. After that, God will destroy heaven and Earth because they have been polluted by sin. He will create a new heaven and a new Earth, put those who were saved on the new Earth, and rule it forever."---Source.

Either religion will destroy the non-believers at one time or another.

Luis, I did not assert you had a non-Christian perspective. You and I both know the lurkers who will try to raise the specter of 'crusades'. I did not aim that at you, my friend. I'm sorry you took it that way.

Luis, have you had a chance to read #156 yet? Please do not twist what I offer, or take personally that which I offer in general and in no way directed at you. You're getting trigger happy, my friend. Don't let these quagmires of philosophic perspective get you down.
