Nothing fuels hatred more than some religious ideology tied to it. It is so rare to encounter a so-called Christian, who actually incorporates Christ like ideals into his daily behavior. Instead, they're usually always asking me for money. Religion is at the core of all the world’s problems. Nothing fuels hatred more than some religious ideology tied to it.

While I was raised Catholic, I will admit that I'm not very devout. And of course, some of these "Christians" forget that yes, Catholics believe in Christ. Personally, my beef with the Jesus people has to do with the way that they try to demonstrate their faith and then turn around and behave as hypocrites. Have you ever been cut off on the freeway by a car with a collection of religious or "Love Jesus" stickers? Or regarding the immigration debate, isn't it interesting to hear the anti-immigration folks try to interject morality into the debate yet have no problem with denying basic services to undocumented children? Where's the Christ like behavior in that? I have grown very suspicious of anyone with a "religious" or "moral" agenda. Look at our born again President Bush, so eager to wage wars in the name of "good vs. evil." And if you think about it, our founding fathers were not "Christian" in the sense that these fundamentalists suggest. Thomas Jefferson himself had his suspicions about the bible. James Madison opposed religious intrusions into civil life. Many of the colonists came to America for religious freedom in the first place, and of course, to make a buck and steal land.

He has a plan which man is not able to understand. Our purpose as Christians is to share the good news that Jesus loved us and died for our sins. That is all that we are to do. In doing that we are to love the people of this world and to do good to others. People will always try to turn the word of God into something which they believe will benefit themselves. We are not deserving of God's mercy yet he allows the sun to shine on the good and the evil. I am sorry you have such a poor example of Christians to base your beliefs on.... go to the Bible and read for your self before you judge.
