There is, indeed, extremism in Christianity. Just remember the crusades and the inquisition. Ans what's worse than extermism, is that the Christian religion doesn't answer a single serious question. For instance, it doesn't tell you what happens to you after you die. And it promotes a lot of negative feelings, because lots of things that people enjoy, lots of things that are necessary for survival, are considered to be sinful by the Christian religion. There is another thing about Christianity that I will never understand, though maybe it is just the characteristic of Russian orthodox christianity. It is the thing about being the god's servant. As a pagan I cannot understand how people can gleefully agree to being servants, to being slaves. I am my Gods' daughter. They don't punish me for my sins, I am always good for them, no matter what I do. And my relationship with my Gods is not based upon fear, or slavery, or blind love - it is based upon respect.
And I don't understand the thing about Jesus dying for my sins - I wasn't even born at that time, I just didn't have an opportunity to sin. And when a child is just born into this world, it hasn't done anything yet, how can it be considered to be sinful? Christians say that everyone is born sinful, because Adam and Eve ate that apple - well, the Bible says that Adam and Eve were Jews. I am not a Jew. I am pure Russian, without a single drop of Jewish blood. With all due respect to the Jewish nation, why am I sinful just because the first Jewish woman did something wrong?

Amazing. I was reading the last page and thinking ......Why.......why cant we all see the perfection of oneness. I mean if we go allllllll the way back didnt we all come from the same ions? See thats what always confuses me about politics, religion any othe seperatist ideas, they assume we are seperate so they feel one group is better than the other and its not. Not in a long shot. I am no better or worse than any living BEing.

Sorry Im prolly oftopic and I apologize if I am.

OK i might sound like a total wad in saying this but really when people take a very strong personal view on something there are going to be people that take it to an extreme. To say only christians or jews or muslims are extreamists is right up there with saying only the white man is racist. come on guys, we all know people can take things to far.

As for the Israel Palistine conflict... im going to be straight up with you, im Jewish and while i odnt think that the land should have been taken away, it is now a state and people live there it is their home and their reality. there hsould be two states because you know what, we have to share. to go back in history and make it so israel was never formed from taking land, well that would be the perfect solution, but until one of you invents a time mechine its just not going to happen. The jews arnt going to give up Israel, and the Palistinians arnt going to give up their land.

its not a right situation and while no the land shouldnt have been taken away, other people live there now, its their home as well.

like i said i might sound like im one sided but really, i mean honestly it is the reality of the situation.
