Re: Religion Thread: We Could Say a Prayer
Nope. I am there. The difference between you and I is two fold - one in you place importance on the means vs. me on the ends...the other based in misconception.
So me? I believe in the outcome of 'doing good for your fellow man' first and foremost. And faith helps me do that better. You? You're caught up in the means of 'faith or no faith' as more important than its outcome of 'doing good for your fellow man' or 'getting help'. So you frequently criticize others who choose to use the tool of the Bible and its followers whose stated purpose is simply helping others.
Second, you believe somehow that Christianity creates right wingers...at least that's the only explanation for your rhetoric. It doesn't. Its a psychological fact that political persuasion is driven by completely different personality types. Christianity does not create different personality types. In the end, the content of Jesus is compassion. Period.
