If there is such thing as the Devil, he invented religion.
china said:"DEAR MASTER Yoda,Besides Trying to build an image of yourself on the web and being a pedant ,you are just a plain ignorant man .People like you sure dont have many friends .A "beliver" with your personality will kill others "in the name of God ",Do you love anybody ,Do you know what love is ,I DON,T,but I sure know what love isn,t and it sure is not judging others and having an inflated EGO .Get rid of your EGO ,humble yourself , be more concerned about the welfare of others than your own .Isn't it what Jesus not only tought but DID.Who cares if you are a Catholic or a Protestsnt. Will Mother Theresa burn in Hell because she was Catholic?,and she was preying the rosary 24/a day. She protected the needy in India bcause she saw God in their faces.Can you see God in people's "faces" ,'cause if you don,t you better start working on your own salvation "in feer and tremble " .
china said:That is probably because I have only grade 10 ,That's not even a formal education ,furthermore English is not my native language.
china said:Honestly, I'm trying to pigeon-hole you, China, but you are a complicated one.
Forgive me but I am not familiar with the term " to pigeon-hole" ,could you please explain.
Only(almost) grade 10..Thanks
Are you Chinese?...I ain't
china said:My Dear Friend ,There are many things in our lives that just "don't add up.One of them is "I was trying to put you into some kind of logical file in my mind".Why would you want to do that? How does it benefit you? Will that make you "smarter",I don't think so .If you'd like to , we can talk about it ,China in China
PS I live in Shen Yang ,Liao Ning
china said:Machjo ,Why are you curious as to my employment ,in a RELIGIOUS FORUM ?,what are you fishing for.? I,ll answer some of your questions though I don't think what I have to say will benefit you....you are "over educated" Yes ,Iam 55ys old and have comleted only10 ys . of formal education( almost).In 1984 I have passed an equivalency test and received a highschool diploma.I don't know what for but I got it.So what ?Don't get me wrong , I love learning,I have done that for the past 55 ys. ,In school you study, you cultivate yor memory with a second hand garbage that you seldom if ever need to use.To me ,going to school, was a waste of time.Obviously if you want to be a lawyer,doctor ,scientist ,you have to study but that was not my persuasion to be any of the above . So this is my point of view in regards of gettig little letters behind your name ,on your "name card".
PS. I am very well off ,though I have started with nothing.I do help the needy ,so please don,t call me a materialist.
