some of us are more delusional than others
It's sad, thinking about all of the violence in the world, but
especially when it's based on religion-based hatred. Christ-
ians, Jews, and Islamists spilling each others' blood for
centuries, and they still don't get it. Practice your religion,
and leave everybody else the hell alone.
On a somewhat different note, i was a bit perplexed earlier
this morning to read a post (on another website) by a girl
who had once been a proud, committed pagan, who is now
gushing about the "Lord." It appears that she has just
recently "found Jesus." Trading one delusion for another,
i guess. What's next--Ralph Nader and Michael Moore will
announce that they've joined the Republican party?
But maybe it'll be a positive change for her--who knows?
Nothing against Christians here, per se--it's just that
some of them--especially the newly converted--are as
fatuously annoying as Barney the purple doofasaurus.
Most of the Christians (and other religionists) that i
know just quietly practice their religion, and let their
faith speak through their actions. i rather like that,
even if i don't happen to share their beliefs.

I happen to have a christian co worker who is very quiet and practices her religion by means of example. I consider her one of the most compassionate people i know..and as a buddhist i strive to be like her..
however..i do know what you mean..i have know the newly converted type. Take my sister for instance..who will not talk to me based on the fact that i am damned to burn in hell..
oh well..pass the marshmellows i guess..
My mom told me as I was growing up "Never trust someone that tells you they are a Christian in the first paragraph they speak" HAHAHAHAHA...I've found it to be true over the years. Lead by example.
