RAT Re: [bigcheap] christians

["Joel McKean" <iketips@earthlink.net>]

Amen, Krista.
I am not a Christian myself, but I honor and respect your faith as I do all
faiths. There is a wonderful op-ed piece today in the LATimes by a scholar
of Islam who laments the subversion of the faith in recent decades by those
who worship the god of hate rather than the God of Love. This is the basic
question all humans are faced with in life. Do we honor the God (or gods and
godesses) of Love or do we worship hatred?
We all make moral choices every day of our lives. Our spiritual beliefs help
us make those choices.
Choose Love.

-Joel
