I miseed the Bono interview, but I'm glad someone with a mass audience is speaking up.<BR/><BR/>Reducing faith to getting people "out of hell and into heaven" just doesn't seem to me what God is all about. God is love, and showing love in creative ways is what it's all about.<BR/><BR/>BlessingsKevin Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135958272742618081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593204.post-1148438348213107482006-05-23T19:39:00.000-07:002006-05-23T19:39:00.000-07:00Mahatma Ghandi acknowledged the inability of his r...Mahatma Ghandi acknowledged the inability of his religion to atone for sin. Despite his moral lifestyle and good works, he admitted, <I>"It is a constant torture to me that I am still so far from Him whom I know to be my very life and being. I know it is my own wretchedness and wickedness that keeps me from Him."</I> <BR/><BR/>All works based religions lead to futility and death. It is only in Jesus Christ that sinners can find forgiveness for their sins and deliverance from death and hell.Correyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146994296794113748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593204.post-1148432573202606482006-05-23T18:02:00.000-07:002006-05-23T18:02:00.000-07:00Ryan, I sincerely appreciate your comment back on ...Ryan, I sincerely appreciate your comment back on my blog and seeing that someone else who comes from out of a Christian perspective is seeing things from a similar angle.<BR/><BR/>I decided to just put it out there even if it bothers most people who consider themselves Christians. Before, I didn't want to say anything critical, just stick to the positive. But with the far right becoming so overwhelming, even if it's just a little blog, I felt like putting something out there that's more truthful than all the shrill dogmatic lunacy that's passing for religion.<BR/><BR/>Trying not to take an antagonistic tone though, since it never helps and that's just your ego talking anway.<BR/><BR/>Just noticed your quote - I love it:<BR/><BR/>"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."<BR/><BR/>- Gandhi<BR/><BR/>I can just about picture the man scratchin' his head!Dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456843848141315800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593204.post-1148425035155075882006-05-23T15:57:00.000-07:002006-05-23T15:57:00.000-07:00Bono's really great, isn't he?

I mean, when entertainers get involved in these things, they don't always appear as well informed and really dedicated as he does.Dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456843848141315800noreply@blogger.com
