To be a Christian in essence is to be a follower of Christ. to imitate him and to follow his ways.

Christ never condemned, neither did he judge…
I am a Christian and I am able to respect other persons without forcing my views on others.

Paul, a convert to the faith, is a hypocrite. He has written wonderful letters to certain nations/cities – like the question and explanation of love to the people in Galatia… some to the people in Corinth…

But then he lashes out and start to judge… something that is not ideally Christ-like.

He becomes the moral compas after he himself was guilty of killing thousands of followers and bleivers of Christ he now serves.

I think we need to become more tolerant, more accepting and forgiving and less judgmental…

As catholic-christian, it is difficult when your “leader” himself is so un-Christ-like, but we asked in the Christian Spirit to forgive and to hope that a true spirit of christ emerge from within the church, within its people and within our hearts.

Live your life as best you know, Love uncondtionally and without reservations, after all paul got that lecture right! Love sees no colour, no face and no sexuality…

lets embrace our differences and learn from it, instead of hating and causing each other harm.

To the Author, good on you for being a good and solid support structure to your partner… its difficult we know, but your love to him makes all te difference, it might even encourage him to be true to himself due to it 🙂

Religion whatever sort is just that a set of beleives, 500 years ago a certain religion told us that indulgences could save lives of those who passed away! True religion should be seen and not just be heard of . . .

Thanx to the writer of this piece. It means so much to christians if you come to understand what it is that we are going through. My mother always as in always told me that my lifestyle is”Bad” that today i am still single and struggling to find a boyfriend that understands what it is i am going through. I believe i was made this way by God cause i felt “different” since i can remember. Thanx Again.

Completely feel the same way. Religious people often have this unexplained (and unexplainable) conviction of why what they believe is right and that it is right “just because it is”. Great article.

It’s not so much not being open to other viewpoints but rather the fact that good and evil cannot live side by side. Light and darkness cannot mix. Truth and deception will always be at conflict. Simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is exactly the reason why I would never date someone who is dogmatic. It just cannot work between two people if one is not open to other viewpoints and unfortunately this is the case with most people ascribing to a formal dogma as a religion.

I do believe this article illustrates the consequence of what the apostle Paul was saying when addressing the Corinthians when he advised “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers” and the writer’s experience simply highlights Paul’s wisdom thereto.
