| Man, these letters to the editor in the paper are driving me crazy!!! About twenty people have written in saying basically this: True Christians are tolerant of other's religions (I agree) and therefore realize that their own relgion's arn't the only way to God (definetly don't agree). Then they're all badmouthing people like me who believe Jesus is the only way to heaven, calling us bigots and ignorant. I always used to read the letters because they gave me an interesting perspective on other's views about topics, but now I'm being bashed every time. I hope you guys can see the oxymoron- they're calling me a bigot and ignorant and hate-fulled because I'm 'not being tolerant and respectful' of other's beliefs? But it's my BELEIFS that they're trashing... ah, I'll drop it. Jesus said 'I'm the way, the truth and the life- no one comes to the Father except through me.' Which means that contrary to what they're suggesting, you can't reach God through Islam or Hinduism or Buddism, no matter how rightiously you've lived, because everyone has been corrupted by evil because of our own individual sinful descisions, and the only way to attone for them is through the blood of Jesus Christ. *I know you guys know this already, I'm just needing to get this all out, I've been bottling it up for DAYS now, and my mom won't let me write a letter.* And I'm not being intolerent and hate filled. I've got a lot of friends whose beliefs are different than mine, and I've never let it get in the way of our friendship- but anyway, you all know that. I'm going to drop this for now, I've gotten most of what I want to say out- this isn't to you guys, it's basically what I would write... ugh I'm so mad. Anyway, yeah... good day at school, I learned the salsa... researched old US sanctions on Iraq in English, horrible stuff... Am I getting worse, or am I only beginning to realize how bad I've become? |
