If a muslim paid attention to me because they sincerly wanted me to be free from my sin,
free from death and live in peace and love with their God, not so they could pat themselves
on the back but because they had a genuinte LOVE for me, then YES, I would feel flattered.
But Christianity (or at least the correct form)
You may say that we expect women to not be exposing, but I believe that is what
should be the norm. Anyone who says otherwise is seriously misled and disillusioned.
I'm sorry that that is what you have been exposed to.
I can assure you that there are better forms.

I view christians as responsible for THE biggest atrocities known to mankind. Everything from tortune, war, child molestation, brainwashing, it's all in there take your pick. People do not need to be "christian" to do good in this world. And last I checked evangelicals in Africa were calling children witches and beating them. So don't post the 1% christians contribute to this world and forget the 99% atrocities. Go sit in your 30million dollar mega church and talk in tongues.. just keep it out of my face. And no.. we do not need to destroy christianity.. with every progress made in science and humanity it's another nail in the christianity coffin. Gone are the days of fear and superstition, it's time to live. I think my grandchildren will finally have freedom from religion. A pity I'll get no peace in my lifetime.
My desire isn't to destroy JUST Christianity, but every
religion on the planet. Every religion on the planet had to use violence and fear

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. (Jn 15:18-24)

How is that any different than living in a society where we are bombarded with advertisements encouraging sex, self gratification, individualism, alcohol consumption, materialism, and consumerist saturated capitalism?
God finishes the work he started in you.
My wish for Christianity is for it to return or rather become what I feel it was always intended to be - a religion of compassion and love.

Oh... it's finished. And so am I. I've had all I can take of this endless and maddening talk talk talk, and not one shred of action. Let's face it. You don't pray to the Christian God without a copy of your credit history and 3 good references. Nice to know the Caste System never went out of style...
