I dunno what's gonna happen when he gets there myself. One of two things could happen, each with their own consequences.

First off, he could get there and have a good time, meeting with the Muslims and getting a dialog going, which would be a great thing. This could lead to a long-lasting peace between Islam and Christianity, which can be nothing but a good thing, all things considered.

Secondly, and more darkly, someone could try and kill him. Should this happen, I see the next batch of Crusades coming about, with the full backlash of the Catholic Church rushing to Turkey to lay "Holy Vengence from God Almighty" on the Muslims inhabiting the countryside.

While I hope and pray that the meeting goes well, and that Christians can form some semblence of a bond with Muslims everywhere, I don't hold out much hope of it ever happening. Because, in general, Radical Muslims hate anyone that doesn't follow their teachings. If it's ever to be that all religions can come to a joint truce, then maybe, just maybe, we can begin to see past our differences, and look forward to the advancement of everyone as a whole, not as a single group of one denomination or another.

The religious segregation has got to stop, otherwise it'll tear us all apart. I, for one, am doing my part to stop that by not subscribing to any denomination. As an aside, I'm a devout Christian, but that's it. I don't align myself with any one group, because no one has ALL of the truth, which is why I take some from all, and put them together to form my own, cohesive belief. I'm what I would call a "Heinz 57 Christian".

Anyway, that's my take on this. Feel free to rant all ya want. I look forward to hearing everyone tell me that I'm going to Hell for the way I think. C'mon!! Admit it, you're thinking it!! Aren't you?? j/k.

Thanks for listening y'all,

TheBorg

You have it all wrong buddy.
Yes the Muslims bow and pray 5 times a day, the first time at daybreak, when the sun is about to rise.

Now lets compare them to Judaism and Christianity.

Both worship not the sunRISE but the sunSET.
So obviously they welcome the darkness.


Well, I dunno about any of my fellow Christians, but I worship all the time. Not at any particular time. I don't do a lot of ceremonious stuff to do my worshipping. I simply pray whenever I want to. Oh, and just to clarify, I don't worship the sunRISE or the sunSET, nor do I worship the darkness. I worship one God, the God of the New Testament.


Who has their arsenal of weapons poised and pointed toward the mid-east...
Who seems to be following the script we find in 'scripture'?


Well that's kind of a one-sided question, now isn't it?


You have it ALL wrong...the Judaeo Christians want to turn everyone's lights out.
The Jews and Christians worship darkness.

Think whatever you like, but let me assure you that I, as a Christian, am not interested in putting anyone's lights out. I merely want what's best for everyone.

For either of you to have such a narrow view of the other means that neither of you knows anything about the other's culture, or the intents of the actual people that truly represent the peoples that we're speaking of. I sincerely hope, for the sake of everyone reading today, that we take stock of this kind of bantering, and remember that it's these types of divisions that make the world the place that it is right now. We need to come to a middle-ground, some kind of concensus, where we can say, "Look, we've come here to try and make a genuine attempt at peace. You wanna try and be friends, regardless of our beliefs?" Then, maybe, just maybe, we could begin the long process of getting over this secular division nonsense.
