another disappointment

the following are my comments to the blog post, http://narcissists-suck.blogspot.com/2008/04/pagan-priesthood-of-appeasement.html

Darn! I was really hoping I'd found a useful blog. You seem well informed and articulate, in some posts. Maybe you're just plagerizing, though.

I have to comment on this post. It's sooooo self righteous, intolerant, prejudiced, misinformed and unChristian.

Specifically:

"Paganism is not and never has been an elevating force in human societies."

Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece, Rome, preChristian Europe, preCaucasian Africa, preColumbian Central and South America....

"Just because some cultures have achieved some recognizable levels of sophistication by our standards doesn't disprove that pagan religions have consistently been the locus of moral vice and debauchery and have often led to the extinction of the cultures that practiced the most immoral of rites."

And the so-called, "Christians" haven't?

The Crusades; the Inquisition; War of the Roses; pedophile priests; Russian Pograms; Nazis (yes, they were "Christians"); Hiroshima; Nagasaki; invasian of Iraq; global warming; incest; wife beating; (statistics show most of these, two latter are committed by heterosexual, Christian men).

"Especially those which engaged in human sacrifice." See paragraph, above and add: war; capital punishment; slavery; environmental racism; international food hording; multinational corporate exploitation; the drug trade; organized crime. Almost ALL of these are perpetrated by self-proclaimed, "Christians."

Haven't we had ENOUGH religious jihad thinking in the past, ten years?

I KNOW you've been deeply hurt and angered by your personal experiences. But REPEATING the same patterns of self righteous abuse on others doesn't heal ANYbody, especially not YOU!

I thought religion was a source of love, not hate.

I'll have to side with Mark Twain about heaven for climate, but hell for community.

If your mindset is "salvation," I'll take my chances with the damned, thanks.

Great personal testimony! Briliant witnessing of your "faith!" Where do I sign up for YOUR religion?

yuck.

But this comment won't ever be published; you're too sure you're right(eous).
