My attitude is not designed to win friends …. I’m happy as I am.
.. and what is a “so-called” Christian ? …. someone like you who spouts total nonsence about the theory of evolution ? ….. someone like Martin Luther who broke away from the “established” church ? … someone who does not believe in the literal interpretation of the bible ? …. someone who attends a different Happy-Clappy church to you ? … someone like Tony Blair who believed it was “god’s will” that he should support the invasion of Iraq ? …. someone like Pope Urban II who’s rhetoric unleashed Crusader mobs throughout Europe, who massacred thousands of Jews, and eventually the wholesale slaughter of the Muslim & Jewish populations of Jerusalem ? ….someone like Jerry Falwell who famously said "Labor unions should study and read the Bible instead of asking for more money. When people get right with God, they are better workers." ? … need more ?????
And my “experience” ?..... by the time I’d finished University, I’d lost my mother, my father, and my brother ……. all my family bar a grandmother (who I then looked after).
… and I hear… “It’s God’s Will” …. NEVER, EVER, WILL I BELIEVE OR ACCEPT THAT.
Forgiveness …… I neither require it, nor want it. …… or need it !
Nor your sympathy.
As an aside, I’ve no problem with ANYONE’s views on religion or politics …. but you seem to be on some personal crusade to “convert” people, to force your thoughts upon others. That, I cannot agree with.
This website is a great source of info for those with a (prospective) Filipino/a wife/husband, a source of knowledge about visas, travel arrangements, legal procedures, shipping, etc etc ….. and even you have contributed/started a number of these informative threads.
So, lets leave the religion, the politics to one side….. and get back to what this site is TRULY about.
