What is it about Christianity’s In Your Face Attitude?

As much as in the western world, Muslims are accused of being radical and overzealous, I have never had one single Muslim ring my doorbell to ask,

“Have You Heard About ALLA?”

Yet, here in America, we are routinely challenged to remain civil, as Jesus freaks roam the countryside, ring your doorbell at the most inopportune time and inquire,

“Have you heard about Jesus!??”

 

Why do these people need to advance the numbers of their brethren by any means possible? Isn’t it enough that they’re forbidden to practice birth control? How many Christians dose the world need?

Isn’t it strange that there’s no such thing as a Buddhist terrorist?

When Buddhist Monks get really upset over political injustice, they’re most likely to set themselves on fire, never dreaming of harming their fellow man.

Isn’t funny that Christians and Muslims so often act out violently upon those with whom they disagree but hardly ever set purposely themselves on fire in protest of anything?

Why is it that Christians [and with them, we must include the Jews from whose bosom Christianity sprang forth.] and the Muslims have cornered the market on terror and wholesale slaughter all the while preaching tolerance, peace and brotherly love for one’s neighbor?

What about Hindu terrorism? We never hear of any in the US.

Why is religion at the root of so much hatred and violence?

Because everyone thinks their religion is 'the one' the Bible is referring to. How many versions of the Bible are there and how many interpretations? I have my own views on religion; I believe in God. I believe that religion is very big business.

Look at the wealth that some religions have accumulated, not to mention the power. I believe that people are like sheep, I always find it amusing to have the congregation referred to as the flock. Not really even a subliminal hint.

I believe that many crimes are comitted because some people believed in a 'cause'. I think the worsr ones are theone who have found religion after a life of sin and crime. I have always been sceptical of those people, they gave up substance abuse or whatever their vice was for another crutch? I don't mean to be cynical but I have a problem with all the do gooders who hide behind religion. And I am like you, I do not want or appreciate someone knocking on my door with their version of the 'answer'.

I think that humanity should try and live by the 10 Commandments. Be the best that you can be, treat other people as you wish to be treated. That is my 'answer'.

P.S. I am also tired of being politically correct, lets hear about that.....

You sound like a clear headed realist to me.
And your right -there is no better formula for peaceful co-existance than The Golden Rule.
Speaking of PC....Ever see Lenny Bruce perform?

I do not want people to try and sell me windows on my door step let alone their idea of existence. It's nothing more than astro-theology to me anyway.

I think there have been many attempts to defineTruth throughout history, most of them fall short.

Yes I agree but atleast astro-theology makes sense. Oh and I would throw magic mushrooms into the mix as well

For the magick mushrooms and the dead sea scrolls look up john allegro but stay off mainstream because they slandered his work because it went against the religion and so tried to suppress it. Jordan maxwell does a lot to do with astro-theology.
