What my husband brought to my attention

Now in the rantings of the Pope substiute God and Christ for Allah... You get my point. Insanity is in all religions.

Pope Urban II before the first crusade.

     "God himself will lead them, for they will be doing His work. There will be absolution and remission of sins for all who die in the service of Christ. Here they are poor and miserable sinners; there they will be rich and happy. Let none hesitate; they must march next summer. God wills it!"

    I'm already finding so much out, all of the religions have such a rich (and sometimes scary) history. Maybe through education things like this will end...


I will leave with this

'I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.'
Mohandas Gandhi

Here is the link where Stephen got this info

Stephen says he doesn't understand why everyone is so up in arms about how they are different, or how they are right. They all believe the same basic thing, yet they can't even get along. It's like they pride themselves on saying they are right. Instead they should focus on the simularities, they don't have to believe the same to show respect. Don't down on any religions when you have the same stuff in your history, give them some time and maybe they will calm down, remember some religions aren't as old as yours.
