Vera;
Your position has been used throughout American history to portray the first
Africans in this country as belonging to the lowest rang and therefore OK to
kill, rape, mime and subjugate to torture. Is that the same religion you are
referring to?
"If people who claim to be Christians would get their act together, this
world would really be a much nicer place." This is an extreme and very
dangerous position. Many people in the world are not Christian and those who
do, do not practice Christianity. In my humble opinion, people who describe
themselves as Christians will never make this world a better place. They
misinterpret the bible and hold extreme and cathartic positions such as
your. Search for protestants and Catholics in Ireland on google. Both
Christians?
Hell must be running out of room with all these non Christians, unless the
boss there is practicing some major recycling in the form of "Born Again."
The world has been revolving around the sun...our African ancestors have
been going to heaven...ever since we discovered walking.

PS What I have learned by participating in this listserve is that only
certain people deserve (I don't know who decides) to "have all the rights
and deserve to be considered decently." It doesn't appear to be an "across
the board" attitude here.
PSS Since you brought it up, the world really has only two major issues:
the people who don't know Jesus, and those that claim to, but are rebellious
(disagree with Him and the Father, don't believe the Bible) and lazy (won't
do what They have commanded us to do). If people who claim to be Christians
would get their act together, this world would really be a much nicer place.
I mean, really, what corporation would keep anyone as an employee who
refused to read the policies and procedures, refused to follow them, decided
they didn't exist (or didn't mean what they said...they have their own
interpretation), didn't even think the CEO was who He said He was, didn't
believe He made His Son the COO, but decided that they would determine who
they would work for? How long would you keep your employment, let alone
qualify for any employee perks? Not long. You would not be able to
accurately call yourself an employee.
