How sad that a post about Jesus makes others angry and defensive! I've read other posts on YT that mention other religions, and not one person posted that they were offended. Did I read correctly that someone would be offended if they were being prayed for? I can't imagine that! I would gladly be prayed for by a member of another religion!
As for the hypocritical actions of some Christians, please don't judge an entire group of Christians by the ones who stand out negatively. That is the same as judging all Muslims by the 19 fanatics who murdered so many on 9/11. There are good people in all religions, and no doubt good people who have no religion. The world is eager to point out the bad actions of some Christians as a way to legitimize the moral decay of so many. You don't often hear about the thousands of Christians who daily strive to help others and ease suffering around the world.
I do agree that YT is not the place for religious threads, but I had to chime in here since it was being discussed.
Jesus told us that we would be persecuted in His name, and I believe that is what is happening in society today, and what has always happened since Christianity has existed. I hope those of you who are so vehemently anti-Christian will at least stop and think of the wonderful message of love and forgiveness that Jesus taught.
I'm amazed at the way the love for our little Yorkies can bring us together when we all come from different creeds! I hope this post will be read in spirit of tolerance and love as it was intended to be. Elizabeth
