warning: only for the open-minded

2nd post of the day. i've finally understood what makes christianity so repelling. it's not the religion. the religion is beautiful. the teachings are wonderfully divine as is with all other religions but the detestable thing about this religion is its people. of course i'm not implying that all christians behave like that. most christians i know are wonderful people to hang out with. but among the few religions present in our country alone, the christians are about the only people who behave like that and mind you, these are not born-christians; they are mainly converted christians. of course, they say they see the light and learn about their divine faith and i honestly think its a great thing for them that they found their faith. but the sickening thing is, they like to insult other people's religion and talk like they know everything. as the saying goes, 'the empty vassals make the most noise'. they like telling people they will go to hell because we don't share the same faith as them and because they just learnt a little from the bible about this new faith that connects with them, they start attacking people telling them that their faith is a fallacy and coming up with ways to prove that our belief is fallacious. they didn't realise that their so-called 'proofs' are diminishing their own belief as well. i believe most christians are nice people. it's only the few black sheeps especially the converted ones (i reiterate). you don't hear buddhists or taoists going around telling people they will go to hell just because you don't share the same faith as they do. the good thing is, such things are happening less and less and you don't find people preaching on the streets anymore. but the new christians tend to get on my nerves until they become more subtle and learn to respect others' religion as well. hey, i respect your religion so please do respect mine and stop imagining that only your religion is true. i believe different religions are not different faiths. we are all sharing the same faith in a different form. that's all.
