As it was written in your Christian bible, Jesus stated that "the kingdom of God is at hand" and not once did he never say that it was elsewhere like I hear believing creationists taut.
Ah yes MA... religious bigotry...is alive and well!!!!
as a child, that statement seemed to drill a hole in my soul. my life has been influence by many christian beliefs yet many of the christian actions were incongruent but that is their journey.
I got over it. I am agnostic in that I have personal reasons for believing in a greater source. my life is about live and let live as long as one is responsible and accountable for their lives and for the trickle down effect that occurs by either activity or inactivity.
we are all ultimately responsible for our choices and actions...and I believe when people try to push their beliefs and actions on to you......then you become brainwashed......or very very angry.....
I agree although I can't say that I'm either one. I've benefited from childhood teachings plus my personal belief system got me through some pretty harsh times.
I'm still unsure how I've made it this far in spite of the obstacles I've had to climb. Overall, it has been worth every bit of exhaustive heartache and grief.
I'm a happy camper but it wasn't an easy task getting here. I'm sure there will be even more mountains to climb yet I'm not worried because I'm now a well seasoned mountain climber.
I bet that you are too, JB!
haha...still getting there.... MA....I think there is a saying....when you accept that life IS suffering....then you can be free
I haven't heard of the movie, but it appears to be very powerful and thought provoking.
So many ways to interpret the writings of the scriptures, and so many different forms of belief, who's to say what's right.
Be pure in heart towards others, and don't push your own beliefs onto others just because they're yours. It works for me, anyways.
true Deborah...:)
this movie is a "must see"....we seem to be in the dark ages here as this film was nominated for the best foreign film in 2005.....and it's finally in movie theatres in Oz now !!!!seems to me this one slipped under the carpet.......best film on human nature since "The Unbelievable Lightness of Being"...IMO....
